So a guy posting how Gamble wasn't given an offer as well as being unceremoniously cut by Gettleman and then me quoting that and responding to it qualifies as a "circlejerk" now?  I think the number of people preaching "patience" and defending his every move by citing Hurney's shortcomings far outnumber anyone that criticizes what does...  Although the number of people that are at least questioning his moves are increasing with each horrific blowout.

 

I don't hate the guy.  I'm just not a big fan of some of the moves he's made and I don't think he's the most tactful person in the world either.  He doesn't seem to handle all of his moves with the class you would expect from a football executive/general manager.  We don't have to re-hash all of his failed transactions from this offseason, as it is currently apparent, but generally, when we lose, I have a tendency to highlight them and vent...

 

yeah it is a circlejerk.  nothing outlines that concept better than someone posting some kind of inflammatory or misleading premise and then others working off it without actually consulting the facts.

 

there's questioning his moves and then there's outright revisionist history which is all that post was.  really could anybody have just googled "chris gamble retirement"?  was it that hard?

Another fine, classy gesture by Gettleman.

 

*facepalm*

 

Imagine if we could've signed him to a two or three year, hometown discount deal.  We'd have one less problem on the back end right now.  Gamble was always one of my favorites...

 

other teams came after gamble after he was cut in an attempt to get him to sign but he turned them all down.  if we're speculating here i'd go so far as to say that i doubt gettleman broke his spirit so badly that he literally quit football in response to being cut but that's more like my opinion.

Does anyone wonder if Godfrey can still play safety? Clearly nickel isn't for him, but could he slide back to FS?

Godfrey is done...he can't move out there. He was a bad resign during the Hurney years bc Marty was obsessed with keeping his mediocre draft picks around to try and prove some kind of a point.

Where did I state it my opinion was fact?

 

Unless a source is provided in a post, it's safe to say that it is heavily based off of or influence by one's opinion.  Why is that so offensive? 

 

And who are posts criticizing Gettleman inflammatory to?  Those who worship at his altar while stabbing their Hurney voodoo dolls?  LOL.  It's not that serious, man... 

 

And if you want to look back at my posts that followed those, I implied, if not outright said, it was certainly a possibility that Gamble didn't want to play anymore and the release just allowed for him to do so with no questions asked.  As another poster mentioned, I think it's likely that his heart wasn't in it for awhile and he would only continue playing so long as the money was right. 

 

I was just saying, when you look at who we have cut and who we have kept, it's not all based strictly on cap numbers.  It seems a lot of those players that were kept turned out to be horrible decisions, while several others who were let go could've certainly helped us a lot more than players that replaced them (and I'm not referring to Gamble here).

Neither of them help our extreme lack of speed in the secondary.

Idk Quentin mikell is definitely an upgrade over Roman harper in skill and speed and Florence actually might be faster than Melvin white but skill wise they're about the same but Melvin just isn't a playmaker he's never really out of position he just can't get his head around to make a play

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
