Jamie Dukes gets it


ThinkAboutIt

Recommended Posts

Yes, Jamie Dukes is a moron, but morons are sometimes right. He blasted Dave Gettleman on WFNZ this morning and I agreed with 99% of it (Disagreed about whether they should've tried to keep Hardy).

 

Scroll down for the interview: http://charlotte.cbslocal.com/2014/10/28/jamie-dukes-panthers-struggles-due-to-gm-malpractice/

 

I've criticized Gettleman all offseason for ignoring the Offensive line, and accused him of setting Cam up to fail or get injured so he won't have to worry about paying a guy he doesn't actually consider to be a franchise QB to begin with. If he had Peyton Manning or Andrew Luck, he would've addressed the line.

 

Cam Newton, not so much. Now why is that?

 

Dukes didn't go that far with his rant, but you can read between the lines.

Anybody with ANY sense saw this coming from a mile away.

 

The only way this year was going to be any kind of success was if the defense literally shut out opposing teams because this offense---which was below average last year---was getting worse overall.

 

Only in the Huddle, is it not understood that you cannot dump all your eggs into the defense basket and then rely on the offense to win games.

Anybody with any sense knows that the notion of an NFL GM deliberately sabotaging his own quarterback is too goofy for words.

Dukes has a lot in common with the fans on the Huddle. He looks at the roster, looks at the results, and start saying poo that may be true but ignores circumstances. Like our O-Line having 1 drafted guy, ignoring the injured drafted guys on our bench. Also ignoring the cap situation and the long term goals of the franchise. 

 

And how could Dave Gettleman have possibly known Greg Hardy was going to mess up on a 1 year deal.

 

Our offense has actually looked better overall this season, but defense and game management decisions are costing us at times. The team is a mess but personnel is only one slice of the pie. We have guys on IR and the exempt list that could have affected results.

Jamie Dukes didn't say that, I did, because the evidence supports it. 

 

You knew Gross retired before the draft, yet you took Kony Ealy in the 2nd Rd. Fug you, Dave.

Gantt knew all along franchise tagging Hardy was a horrible decision. The signs were there, he was late to numerous meetings last season, the fact he seems a little off in the head, and taking a pic of his speedometer going dangerously fast and uploading it to instagram.

Apparently you haven't listened to the interview, so why are you talking about what you think he said?

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
