GoobyPls

No they weren't, I also forgot the colts had Donnie Avery that year, who the hell was the panthers 3rd receiver? Lets not forget the fact he had Arians also

All that shows is how good Cam is. No GM in his right mind would take the panthers weapons over the Colts

Except Luck was a rookie also, not a guy going into his 4th or 5th season, Luck also had Wayne as his one that year and now has Johnson.

Wayne and Smith are interchangeable, after that the gap between TY and Lafell are astronomical. Fleener and Allen are as good as Olsen and an old Shockey.

Norwell really? Really? Ron was going to hitch his wagon to an UFA? And give me one good reason why Rivera should of had total faith in starting Norman after a terrible 2013? Tell me why? Stewart? You mean the same Stewart who was injured the first half of the season? LMAO Remmers LMAO another UFA we were forced to play cause of lack of talent. And by half, you mean second half of the draft? The guys who barely ever amount to anything. Lets not forget the two running backs he drafted to help Cam. Oh wait there not even in the roster And good grief your selfish, you want to keep a player against his will here. If Cam really doesn't want to be here we should trade him, and fire Gettleman while where at it.

So let's try and copy the only two teams in the league that don't go after free agents to validate our cheapness. Instead of trying to emulate the last 3 SB champs all who were active in free agency and FA players played a big part in winning those SB. Logic not even once

I know the coach sets the depth chart and he sets it up with the talent that is available, which wasn't a lot. The same Roman Harper that got a thread made about him every other week? the same Harper that gave up more big plays than any other DB. Its funny how you skimmed over the part where I said Rivera had no choice but to start the guys Gettleman gave him. Norman wasn't gonna be named started after a putrid 2013 season and Bene was a rookie. And like it or not Cam and Rivera have to do more with the team success than Gettleman, and has much as you dislike Rivera he's helped this team more than Gettleman that's for sure. Look here boy, I'm not one of these yes-man that's gonna agree with every single move the GM is doing. or lack of moves to put it better. Its been the same way since 2011 not a single viable receiver has been signed through free agency, no trades and we have only drafted ONE WR in the first 2 rounds since Cam has been here. Its the same old story every year and I'm tired of it. Keep thinking about the future instead of present time cause that future might not include our franchise QB.

And your acting as if Gettleman is the one behind all our success. Rivera is a pretty bad game manger I'll give you that, but evaluator? depth chart? Oh I forgot Gettleman prize FA acquisitions Cason, Decoud, Harper helped Rivera out so much last season. What was Rivera suppose to do start Norman right away even though he was our worst corner the previous season? Throw Bene to the wolves? find a way some how to replace our premier pass rusher with a rookie DE?

Ah yes it was Gettleman master plan for our division to suck and us being able to make a playoff appearance with a 7-8-1 record. And all those things you mention had nothing to do with the players and coaches its all Gettleman The lack of respect you have for Rivera is mind numbing. Rivera has been in asked to make chicken salad out of chicken s**t, Munnerlynn and Mitchell looked great under Rivera, they leave and automatically become mediocre. Johnson and Hardy where a bunch of nobodies before Rivera arrived. Norman and Bene two mid-late round picks from small schools who where an after thought in the draft, Rivera was the one who coached them up, changing Luke to MLB another Rivera idea. You act as if Gettleman is drafting these can't miss prospects.

All I'm saying is for if they really wanted to can get Crabtree or Johnson even with the small amount of money we have. I know it might come back to haunt us in the future but for once I would like them say you know what screw it where gonna give Cam a legitimate number 2 and see what he can do, these are guys who have put up 1000 yards with Alex Smith, Kaepernick and Fitzpatrick as their QB's. If it means taking a small risk so be it. You never know one of those guys comes here and becomes a legit threat and we end up keeping him.

And I think that reason "might" be cause he feel like the panthers aren't trying hard enough to build around him.

You have to take everything into perspective 4 of the 5 teams you listed had rookie QB of course the aren't going to build around them immediately but I highly doubt if those rookies turn out to be franchise QB's is going to take them as long as the panthers. And the 49ers have tried Kaepernick just sucks, they got Johnson, Lloyd, Boldin and now Smith in a 2 year period. I was hoping the panthers front office is looking to win NEXT season not 3 years from now, I want a monster offense next season, I want Cam to feel like he's our future.

Still doesn't change the fact it looks like Wilson, Luck even Tannehill might get new contracts before Cam. If Cam was drafted in 2010 it would been more understandable since he would already have gotten a big pay day.

Sorry I can't agree with every move the so called savior makes, maybe we all should agree on everything. When QB's who came into a league in the same year and a year before are already getting contracts while your teams QB's seems to be ok with his 5th year option, I think its OK to have a little doubt in my mind. But that's just me

I keep forgetting Gettleman can do no wrong, he can't lie, its impossible

I'm pretty sure he lied, or just miss calculated how much cap we had or JR just doesn't want to fork over any guaranteed money. But don't tell that to the yes-men in here.

Gettleman can teach him a thing or two about lying *cough "shopping at dollar store" Looks like we went shopping at Wal-Mart this year

I'm confused, your comparing Cam whose going to his 5th year to a bunch of guys going into there sophomore years. If anything you just highlighted my point Cam's situation is so bad he's being compared to a bunch of rebuilding teams Notice how you don't bring up Luck or Wilson

I was talking about Johnson who they cut before they were hit with the cap. And lets be honest here none of those guys are going to get huge contracts, people are acting as if we have to break the bank to sign one of these guys. You guys keep saying we're gonna have so much money next off season why not gamble on a guy like Crabtree or Johnson?

Texans no, KC no, Vikings no ( we're making threads about Patterson LMAO), Rams no The leaves the raiders who are in complete rebuilding mode, the Seahawks who have the best running game and better line, and the Ravens who are bound to do something sooner or later like they always do, cause that's what SB winnings teams do they build through the draft and free agency

Overnight? he's going into his 3rd season Lets say Cam does leave, why the hell should Gettleman keep his job? And if you were Cam is there a reason to stay? I mean really what indications has a team given you they want to build around you. Don't give me the cap excuse, if really wanted to win the upcoming season he can backload a contract to Crabtree or Johnson if they don't work out we cut them next season without effecting the cap the same way the niners did.

WHAT? name 5 other teams with a worst WR core. Ginn whose our second best receiver couldn't beat a rookie to play the slot., that speaks volumes to where are talent level is at.

relying rookies and cheap FA have to somehow produce at consistent level have become the norm around here. We expect every rookie we draft to become a legit starter who ready to contribute to a playoff contender right away. Instead of going with a proven commodity like Crabtree or Johnson we want Bersin and Philly

Maybe Gettleman can play some QB if Cam leaves, cause from what I'm getting he's the second coming of Jesus and can do no wrong even if it means low balling our franchise QB.

If we tag Cam its gonna be 20 mill, I can just imagine the outrage already.
