I don't recognize this team anymore

[Ship]

I agree, it’s weird to see everyone I’ve watched play football for the past decade be gone. Unfortunately we didn’t win it all when we had the chance. We could have been better for longer. The younger part of our core (Cam and Luke) took some major injuries in their prime and sadly both of their productive careers have been cut short or derailed. Had they not taken as bad of hits maybe they’d still be here. It’s a mix of not having the right talent to capitalize and bad luck. I love those guys so much and am sad to see them gone. I support the Panthers, but it’s hard to like Tepper right now. I don’t care about Hurney, he’s going to be gone soon. Rhule, I want to like but also don’t have a lot of trust in right now as a guy who tells it straight. He might be a great football mind and program builder but I’m not sure I trust him as a man. We’ll have to see. Right now we’ve got Teddy, CMC, DJ and Shaq as maybe our true core. Shaq has been to the Super Bowl and will carry the LB torch. CMC has been to the playoffs and will fight for the team. Teddy has been on winning teams and to the playoffs and he’s hungry to lead a team. We still have a small flame of the past on this team, it’s up to the coaches to rekindle it and get it blazing again.

Not true.

There is also bad officiating.

And Peyton Manning's forehead can still be seen from the International Space Station.

Good.  The old team sucked for the most part of the last two decades.

There's a big difference between a floor of 7-9, like most of the 2000s and 2010s had, and what's shaping up to be an 0-16 season with basically no light on the horizon.

I guess the whole NFL doesn't know what they're doing.

If Cam is so damn good, why isn't someone begging for him? There are 2 sides to every story, can we give our FO the benefit of the doubt for one freaking year?

You have no idea who I am, or what I do or like. I m sure their are many more like me who aren't the "wine and cheese" crowd. I will bitch if I want to, I have paid my dues with this team.

I have paid my dues also, but I choose to act like a grown man and not complain about things you have no control over.

I'm not personally effected emotionally but I can understand if someone is. There are some who react emotionally when their favorite character on a TV show or film are killed so I get it.

Same here. I guess you can equate it to an obsession in some respects.  I personally can't understand falling in love with someone you've never interacted with in person for a enough time to know whether you like the person or not.   Humans are strange.

It's not a bad thing to not recognize this team anymore.  

[rhyslloyd]

That's the point.

This had to happen in order to have a shot of being a winning franchise. This "team" was broken. This new experiment may certainly turn out to be a total disaster but this thing had to be blown up. I'm eager to see how it plays out. 

[SOJA]

Honestly I was totally ok with a full reboot, maybe not the Cam part but even that sure whatever, but that's the problem we AREN'T rebooting. We are tearing it halfway down and keeping some odds parts, while adding odd parts. We have no semblance of a plan.

It's funny.  So many people on this board screaming to "blow it up".  When they finally do over half the board screaming "what the hell are they doing". So many people hated the way Rivera was doing things and before him Fox and you finally get what you have been asking for and you want to go cry to mommy.  Be careful what you ask for, you might get it.

Exactly!!
