Thank you for bringing the Panthers to be somewhat relevant for the 2000's.

Thanks for bringing in talent and ability to our young team.

Thanks for that Superbowl run and the playoff games.

Giving us a taste of the spotlight.

We appreciate it, but there are comes a time when a relationship needs to head in a new directions.

But it's time to say Goodbye.

The following have lead to this.

Your ancient belief that a Franchise QB isn't really needed and your inability or lack of desire to acquire one.

Your lack of ability to develop ANY WR other than Steve Smith.

The years that the tight end position was treated like the RahTard cousin at family dinners.

Absence of halftime adjustments for your entire stay here.

Fear of the forward pass.

Fear of running up a score.

Considering >5 points a lead worthy of running out the clock no matter how much time i left in the game.

Risking the future of a franchise to save your hide

Stubbornness towards using 1st and 2nd year players when they are obviously more talented.

Inability to instill a killer instinct into your teams as a whole.

We as a fan base are not without fault.

In some ways we expected too much and are as a group too immature to understand some of the things that have happened.

That said, we do THANK YOU, for everything.

But we feel it's time to move on.

For both of us, I think it will be for the best.

We can get a coaching staff that hopefully can take us to the next level.

You can get another young team, whip some toughness into them and get back into the playoffs..

Thanks and Goodbye.

Signed.

You had me until you started blaming the fan base. That's idiotic. Right on otherwise.

We are an immature fan base.

We have booed things that are smart.

Draw on 3/10 on YOUR 20 isn't a dumb play.

Conservative football in its place isn't a dumb idea.

I wasn't saying we have caused this mess, I was saying we have made mistakes as well.

    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way. 
    • We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
    • I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
