You want a winning team or a "feel good" mediocre one?

After all the years of losing you would think that this fan base would embrace a different direction. I'm sure Smith had planned for this day and will do what he needs to for himself and his family.DG may not be the most lovable guy and his style may seem harsh.His job is to make this team into a winning franchise reqardless of hurt feelings,etc. Nobody bitched last season with the division championship on his watch. To wish that the team crashes and burns due to cutting a player is short sighted.Smith will be in the ring of honor and will always be a Panther. As of today the Hurney era is over for good. The NFL is a tough business and DG is running it like a winning franchise needs to be run.

Last time I checked it takes offensive play makers to win. The Panthers currently have 1 on their roster. We better have an amazing offensive free agency and draft.
This. Letting go of aging players is one thing. Leaving us with absolutely NO receivers when we basically need an entire offense already, and have almost no cap space to begin with is entirely another. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using CarolinaHuddle mobile app

If we are being all cut throat and shitty to the best players we've ever had, we'd better be good. Eric Mangini took over, had a winning season, got all power crazy, and then proceeded to suck the rest of his career. Being mediocre to shitty in that fashion is much worse and more embarrasing than Hurney's "lets split a beer while I guarantee you forty million" style of gm-ing.

This, it's not just about Steve Smith leaving. It's about letting go of the only wr on your roster when you have so many holes and no money.

Give me something to make this move feel less heartbreaking and crappy. Give me just one thing. There is no one left on this roster to improve our offensive output, no one to even keep it at the same mediocre level as it was before. I hope they tell us more than "the answer is already on the team" bs.

I think for some fans ...they are fans of the players more so than the team. I can think of a couple examples     remember when the Hornets had Mugsy and Dale Curry. Do you remember when they left.....many of us did not go to another game. People tolerated Shinn when they were here.

 

I am a big fan of both Gross and Smitty so I will admit I am disappointed regardless of the outcome. I think Cam is another example. I hear some people say they were not Panther fans until we drafted Cam.  Just my observation.

We needed to have a hell of plan before all this Smith stuff began.

 

Assuming Smith is let go, I have faith that there is a plan in place.  Maybe talks with some of the WR FA's have gone well. Maybe we know there will be an impact WR at 28 in the draft.

 

I just really don't want to hear that the answer is on the roster.

      Bears fire Matt Eberfus

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      According to multiple players and staffers in the locker room, some players were asking why Eberflus didn’t call a timeout. Other players got going, too. “Guys were furious,” a staff member said. “It was an accumulation of this season.” “The locker room was ugly,” another staffer said. “There was a lot of yelling.” Said the first player: “We felt as players it’s been too many instances where we fought our way back into games to lose because of bad time management and decision-making.” Multiple sources added that the emotions were so high between the players and their head coach that Eberflus left the locker room immediately after his speech and the exchange with players. There was nothing left to say. It was a moment for this Bears team that would inevitably force chairman George McCaskey into something the franchise had never done before. By Friday morning, Eberflus was out — but not before the team decided to have him address the media over Zoom just after 9 a.m. Two hours later, he was gone. The Bears made it official by sharing statements from general manager Ryan Poles and president/CEO Kevin Warren.

      Some love for Steve Wilks

      By rayzor · Posted

      You take all this stuff too personally.  Learn to detach. Lol or don't. It's up to you. People don't have the same appreciation or longing for him you seem to have. For me, I just don't understand it. Basically a footnote in Panthers history. Go ahead if you feel he needs it or you need it, but most apparently just don't know why it's such a big deal. Comparing him to guys like kuechly or cam is kind of weak. Those guys made a huge impact on the franchise. Wilks was just a guy we had as a DC a couple times and got him to be an interim. Mildly interesting, but not much more than that as time goes on.

      @adamjahns   In Detroit, Bears players finally had enough. The locker room was an ugly scene. Players yelled back at their head coach — and he left. The inside story on the final days of Matt Eberflus and where he lost his team.  https://x.com/adamjahns/status/1862848299981541516
