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?

    • Outside of cerrato, I do like our draft overall. Hard to get can't miss draft picks when you pick late in the draft
    • Very True--and I am a former HS English teacher.  
    • Not a Moore fan-but he had a few good games last year-but I want players that scare you--Renfrow's route running and intelligence, Legette's size, speed, and strength, AT's intelligence and route running, Coker's body control, strong hands, and abilty to win contested catches, and TMac's size, body control, and ability to find soft spots in zone coverages.  Horn gives them the ability to stretch the field and he plays special teams.   Moore has a nice smile and can dance.  He filled in well last season, but to get better as a team, you have to upgrade your players.  I think Moore is a bottom of the roster guy who got bumped when we drafted 2 WRs and signed a legit free agent.  Here is the thing--TMac makes us better because he is great against the zone--man?  Good luck with that.  AT's role can be reduced, and that is probably a good thing.  He can specialize in situational football. Coker?  Just getting started. XL?  Just getting started.  Drafting TMac was probably a bit of a wake up call, but XL will be better as the 2. Renfrow?  I see him splitting reps with AT--keeping both fresh and giving different looks. Horn?  Watch the safety cheat his side when he is in the game--I see a young Steve Smith type in him, but he has yet to play a game.  I hear that Morgan loves him.
