Gettledog's plan

[unicar15]

If we continue to lose and miss the playoffs then IMO DG does several things:

1. Shula is gone. He'll bring in a different coordinator to see if Cam is able to succeed in a different system that he decides will benefit Cam and test him at the same time. If cam flourishes as would be the hope...Cam stays and gets a big deal.

2. He'll draft a QB early in case Cam bolts (assuming no new contract before the draft...which is the expectation). This will also put pressure on Cam to step up and be a winner as well as allow whoever he drafts to learn from the new OC who will have an offense DG approves of.

3. Draft weapons and bring in talented OL for Cam. This roster sucks. Outside of a talented TE, WR and center the offense is garbage.

Bottom line is that he's going to give Cam every chance to earn that cash but at the end of the day it's going to fall on Cam bc the guys holding him back (Shula, sucky OL) will be gone long before any contract talk is made.

oh so he is going to go in another direction this time.

His plans looks like:

 

Cut guys that aren't his.

 

Hire guys that are his.

 

??? luck into a superbowl like the giants.

We picked up Cam's 5th year option.

[unicar15]

We picked up Cam's 5th year option.

Which is next year. This is his fourth year. We will draft a QB and let Cam finish his fifth year and test FA or negotiate a new contract in the season.

Franchise tag.

Franchise tag.

I would never franchise my QB. After 5 seasons you should know what you have. Either offer him a contract or let him go. I, personally don't want to get into Jay Cutler territory where we are paying a guy a huge paycheck with no real shot at winning. There are just team out there that have built their team with expensive QBs and you know they aren't winning anything of substance in part bc of their QB..Bears, Lions, Falcons, Chiefs. They all have QBs with huge contracts and virtually nothing to show for it.

Not saying Cam is in this territory but if after 5 years you still aren't confident enough to lock him up would indicate he'd be heading there.

[CelibatePimp]

I think it's about time the coaching staff decide whether or not they want Cam to be a passer or a RB.

Peyton didn't win a playoff game until his 6th season.

Every decision Gettleman makes between now and his firing needs to be with the intentions of Cam Newton succeeding. If we have to replace Cam, Gettleman will be gone anyways. 

 

Fire coaches, cut players, but we do not need to waste a draft pick trying to replace our franchise QB. Get guards and tackles instead.

[beckersteen]

I don't think Cam is going anywhere, but if he leaves I'm following him.

So, you're a player fan and not a Panthers' fan?

This is the plan. It'll all happen in the next 1.5 seasons. Coaches will be canned, guys will be replaced all in an effort to continue to evaluate cam before the contract.

I don't think Cam is the issue. I think play calling is the issue. Considering we ran exactly one play into the endzone with our 6'5" receiver during 3 redzone trips. Playcalling was much more of the problem.

[teeray]

He was not making moves for 2014. Trying to make quick fixes and panicking is what got us in this cap hell that is fugging us in the butt.

I am going to wait a few years before I have a definitive opinion on Gettleman
