One thing G-man said on Panther Talk last night.

I usually try to listen to Panther Talk on Monday nights (even though I am at work).  I missed most of what G-man said, but I did hear him say  that if Joe Webb plays well enough to make the final roster, then he will make the final roster.  G-man expounded by basically shooting down the idea that he would keep someone at a needier position if they didn't play up to the level of someone else at another position.

 

Much like he has a general philosophy of drafting the BPA, regardless of position, it sounds to me like he incorporates that same ideology when deciding who makes the team.

 

Take it how you want.  G-man strikes me as a man of his word.  I just thought I'd share the parallel.

So Webb had a decent game against a bunch of guys that won't make the 53 roster for either team.

Only way Webb makes this team is if Gettle plans on unloading some salary and drops DA this year or next.

Webb could easily go to the practice squad. DA just got an extension this offseason I believe....he is staying this year. Webb isn't better at QB.

The quote and sentiment are nice but there is some grey area IMO. For example Joe Webb May be a more talented football player than let's say a 5-7 DB but the likelihood of him contributing to the team as a 3rd string QB is less than the lower ranked DB. The DB can maybe work himself into the rotation or contribute on ST.

Gettleman isn't going to even hint at any individual player being cut yet. Not sure what he was expected to say?

As I recall, the question wasn't about being cut, it was about the speculation as to whether or not he would keep three QBs on the roster, in light of Joe Webb's success, in lieu of another position. G-man, in his own kinda matter-of-fact way, basically said the best player would be retained, period.

It shouldn't be forgetten that part of the reason he is here is because he has a similiar play to Cam.  Not nearly as good but could be a better use for us in case of an emergency.  

 

If he displays the same ability in the next couple preseason games than I am all for him making the team.

 

Some gotta remember we can only dress so many of the 53.   But unlike the other positions if an emergency were to happen the 3rd QB (undressed) could be activated during a game.  (I believe that is what the rule says)  However, if he isn't on your roster you are pretty much screwed.

I could see him being on the roster but inactive come game time. I believe we will keep him. I see us cutting Godfrey and also I could see us putting a few players like Philly Brown, Lucas, ect on practice squad. We could cut him and resign him if Cam gets hurt.

      You see, this is why I'm more critical of Dave Canales

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I don't know if Canales is any good as a head coach yet, but he has done well with our non-XL receivers. I personally think he is handicapped by a key personnel and that is partly out of his hands for the next couple weeks. He's also very young, so will absolutely have head scratchers and growing pains. But outside of Wilks he's probably already out best HC since Rivera, which isn't saying much, and imo his ceiling is unknown vs Wilks' which is unfortunately very well known.

      XL about to turn the corner

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That's not what Bryce was pitched to be. Nor was the, what, 4th or 5th Tepper rebuild iteration? That's the problem with all this. You trade all this draft capital up to get these guys(Bryce, XL, etc) and then when they get their opportunities they can't hack it. As I have said many times, I view this as less of a development issue as I do an evaluation issue. We just suck at identifying talent correctly. It fails us all too often. If it was solely development, so many of these guys that left here after being failed draft picks would be studs. That is literally almost never the case.

      XL about to turn the corner

      By d-dave · Posted

      I remember the days when it would take WRs a few years to figure it out in the NFL...  What a time that was! Getting to the point of guys finding success else where after flopping here:  patience and a vision. Thanks to Tepper, we haven't been able to develop a vision.  Without patience, everything is a reaction. That's not to say sometimes you can tell when a fit it bad and people need to move on.  In XLs case, it's not going to hurt us to be patient.   Sure, fans see how Tmac is doing and are like "XL who??"  I get it, but I also think reacting for the sake of reacting isn't the best thing to do. Should XL get off social media for a bit and focus on the game?  Yes.  As Cam screamed "Lock in bro!"   I know being patient is hard when you see guys get off to fast starts in their careers.  Tepper can't really afford to be reactive right now.  He's got to let Dan and Dave have the time to build their team. Most of us are Panther fans.  We're the idiots here, year after year, hoping things have changed.  Most of us will continue to do so, and hope things turn around.  While some of us will balk at the salary cap, contracts and wasted years; it doesn't affect us personally since we're just fan. Now for those folks on the teams...yeah...they need to get it together before they lose their jobs and have to move!
