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.

I did hear him say that if Joe Webb plays well enough to make the final roster, then he will make the final roster.

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.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
