Jamie Dukes gets it

[ThinkAboutIt]

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).

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. 

[Mr. Scot]

If you're proud of having Jamie Dukes agree with you, your argument has serious issues.

I'm happy when anyone sees the light.

 

Shine a light on the real problem. The offensive line sucks...on purpose.

That whole notion is so ridiculously stupid it's not even worth discussing.

[Lemory]

He's only stupid until he agrees with me.

Don't just assume he's seen the light when he reaffirms your opinion

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.

[KendrickPanther]

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. 

[raleigh-panther]

I didn't hear any racism implication but I have to agree on the LT

Anyone with any sense knew the current situation was not going to work

And if Gettleman didn't think gross would retire, hard to believe

Very sad that I believe the Panthers were close. They aren't close

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?

And ill agree with that but then that means he actually believed in Bell and Chandler and that might even be worse
