Everyone saying SF > Charlotte is living in the early 2000s...that place is becoming a giant dump one day at a time with homeless and crime.  

 

Or, have never been in the first place.

Then look at taxes paid....shew weeee.

I get not overpaying for him, but any suggestion that we aren't a better team with a player like that on the roster is pure fantasy. And any GM in the league would tell you that.

We misused him, we overpaid him, we didn't have good enough blocking for him, we had absolutely awful coaching and in the end made the right decision to trade him, but having a player of that caliber makes a team better.

He is 100% correct about it being a luxury. It didn't help SF win when they were down all their QB's because the league doesn't work like that. Same thing with Henry, Barkley, etc, etc, etc. Without the rest of the pieces around the elite RB, it doesn’t accomplish anything. 

Elite RB's are purely a luxury, not a necessity.

Yeah, if Young becomes a top 10 QB in the league then eventually CMC will be a footnote in Panthers history.

It's not really related to him but we only had one winning season in his entire Panthers career. Most of us are going to be very eager to move on from those memories.

I do kinda think our poor record had something to do with him actually.  It wasn't necessarily his fault, but he became such a focal point of the offense that it made us one-dimensional and painfully predictable.

Yeah but that's for regular people. Rich(especially rich and young) people don't care as much about that kind of stuff.

SF has far greater access to badass stuff than CLT. And NC doesn't have access to nearly the kind of attractions for young people that CA does. 

Doesn't mean I would personally choose SF over CLT but I understand. Plus he is already a WC guy.

I think more of it had to do with the team being built around a guy that ended up being broken beyond repair(Cam).

CMC had very little to do with Panthers success. Just look at his W-L record in games played versus games not played.

The success of the franchise was always going to revolve around Cam(or any of the successive QB's) and once he was done, so were we.

Love it from a former team "caption" on this team

He is obviously butthurt, which he has a right to be. 

We will see how it goes in the long term. Steve Smith and DeAngelo Williams also left here with some pretty hard feelings.

We eventually got SS back in the fold but not Williams. Ball is in CMC's court.

no, we were better with him. not enough to make it worth the price tag though, especially with his propensity to get injured...at least here anyways.

I mean… if you were him, and we know he doesn’t like being kept off the field, playing for Rhule. I’m sure he has some wear and tear injuries where he was like, “ok doc, I’m out for what..? 12 weeks, cool” which if he was on a competitor he’d fight to keep playing. I’m happy for the guy and hoping maybe in 5 years we can get him back for a SB run on a vet 1 year deal.

Disagree. He’s a west coast boy to begin with. He had a shitty coach for arguably his prime. I don’t think he has hate for the organization. I think it was just a rebuke of Rhule. But also a sports player placation of his current team.

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with.

      FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.

      Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
