The NFL Shield At Midfield

oh no i just read his profile and he's welching on his bet! he's just some dumbass wal mart florida gator homer and teboner fan

oh man i love posting that article. it was on bleacher report actually: and on and on: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/694994-carolina-panther-cam-newton-is-the-worst-nfl-draft-pick-ever e: i'm dying guys

the guy you quoted makes aceboogie look like the president of the gettleman fanclub he also predicted that byron bell and nate chandler would be our starting tackle combo for the next few years because "gettleman loves them so much" so take his razor sharp insight into building an NFL roster with that in mind

hur hur i'm aceboogie and the problem with you panther fans is that you're thinking like fans i on the other hand know exactly what it's like to be a superstar pro athlete so i know what cam is thinking

i think my post did a good job highlighting the absurdity of your premise actually. can you think of a big time franchise quarterback sitting out a whole year in recent memory? i can't. probably the closest we've come recently was carson palmer demanding a trade, mike brown refusing, palmer threatening to retire then failing to report to training camp, then the trade to oakland. no i don't think cam would play under his fifth year option, then a franchise tag, then another tag. i think he'd play under the first franchise tag and if he really, really didn't want to play here anymore, gettleman wouldn't force the issue and would let him walk. because he's not stupid and he wouldn't put the team in that position.

he could threaten to leave the NFL and play minor league baseball too. would you entertain that possibility?

I'm talking about 2010-2012 They were the top seed twice in that time frame and their only real weakness was their front 4 and maybe linebacker play.

charles johnson makes way too much but the alternative was watching him go to the falcons at a point where they essentially a good pass rusher away from a lombardi so i can live with it

the panthers need somebody with a pulse to hold down the left tackle spot for a season or two while a rookie or other developmental player gets prepared to take over. i don't think he would come out and say that publicly though.

if you're just whining about some kind of grand sweeping problem with the fanbase then i don't care about that. the cleveland browns, raiders, and bills have some of the most loyal, passionate fans in the league and those teams have done less in ten years than the panthers have in the previous two. what fans expect or will "settle for" is a fart in the wind when it comes to the actual product on the field.

the whole idea isn't that we're going to be happy just winning the division and losing early in the playoffs every year forever. even then there are a lot of "model franchises" bandied about as being far superior to the panthers on this site who did just that for years before breaking through and winning titles which is how it goes in the NFL sometimes. for once this team seems to making something resembling progress and people are guardedly optimistic. actually the idea is that, as far as the panthers go, we're in an uncharted place as a franchise right now. it really is okay to let go of your internet badass persona for one nano second and be happy about back to back division titles. your dong probably won't shrivel up and fall off i promise.

i keep seeing people posting about "settling for mediocrity" and "oh good old huddle happy to go 8-8 and win a terrible division and never win a super bowl for all eternity" which i think is bullshit what would sitting around with our arms crossed all offseason talking about how pissed off we all are accomplish anyway

do you really believe this

there were only three teams that had a confirmed interest in hardy. one of them was the defending NFC champion and they passed based on character concerns in conjunction with money which i think says something interesting re: all the blathering about what "winning teams" do.

Is this a joke When you look at our roster do you think to yourself that all we need to be a serious title contender is an all pro DE

i've been trying to change it to something else for a little while but it seems like that form has been broken for some time. it's a feature i love to play with as most people who've been here for a while are aware.

Au-panther

does cam talk out of his ears or something

hey russell wilson, would you care to share your feelings about deflate gate? russell wilson: "i'll pass"

he had problems with concussions as well right i remember a terrible hit from ike taylor in what was 2009 i think. he was out cold before he hit the ground

a ton of butthurt tar heel fans hated the pick too every other thread slamming it was made by somebody with a username that contained "unc" or "heel"

They probably weigh bpa with need If mariota is on the board we're not going to draft him. Gettleman's philosophy shows out more in later rounds as we saw with ealy being drafted while everyone was screaming for Morgan moses, the double dip at db, the 2013 double dip at DT, and so on.

http://cfl.ca/article/esks-qb-white-calls-it-a-career see you in canton bud

it'd be an "eh okay whatever" pick

it takes several years to properly judge a GM and unless you're the browns or raiders they get several years to put their stamp on a team gettleman's early drafts have been promising though and i feel more positive and excited going in to draft day than i have in years now
