I think Ron is a bad head coach and beyond redemption. Yeah, he was dealt a bad hand, but this team should not be getting blown out week after week. I could elaborate further, but it's already been discussed to death.

 

As for Gettleman, I'm not a big fan so far, but he has done some good things to go along with the bad. However, if I were in JR's shoes, I would let him know that he is going to be expected to produce a better product in year 3. That means doing what must be done to get the right coaching staff in here, and getting the players that allow us to be competitive.

 

Renting Hardy for one year at $13 million was a bad decision and would have been a bad decision even if Hardy were still playing. We had too many holes to tie up that much for one year.

 

And yes, we could have signed a couple of select players to multi-year deals instead of tying up so much in the franchise tag. We may have had to slightly backload the deals to give us flexibility with Cam's contract, but the cap situation should be improving dramatically in the next couple of years, so multi-year contracts should not have been a deal breaker. 

 

We have to get it right this offseason, or we are perhaps going to waste the best assets we have right now, namely the prime years for Cam and Luke.

why do you want gruden or cowher to coach the panthers

 

Didn't say that I did, but let's say that i do.  Their records speak for themselves, whether you like their records or not.  Cowher in particular has shown that he can coach a team up, and have some consistency of success from one year to the next.

 

I am not going to get caught up in Cowher or Gruden, but I stand by my point that firing Gettleman is only "brash or stupid" if you don't have a proven successor in line to take his job.

Cribbs, Edlemen.....Edwards. One didn't work. It was a gamble. Thought he pulled the trigger early but I liked the idea. Armanti looked to be freaky enough.

A 6th round RB today would have been a 3rd a few years ago. It is talent. Late round RBs today aren't what they were years ago. Hell I can name starters Id rather have cut at this point.

Gettlemen likely has to go back and draft a RB there again this year bc of it

 

cribbs - UDFA

edelman - 7th rounder

edwards - first pick in the second round of the 2011 NFL draft

 

you didn't understand what i was saying.  the only way for gaffney to have not had to hit the wire waiver to reach IR would be for him to make the final roster and then be IR'd.  that's a move that teams make all the time in the offseason.  that's a basic, staple move.  what happened this year was what, the first time in three years we've seen a team pull that?  that would also create a domino effect where a guy who isn't going to see the field in the first place takes somebody else's roster spot.  so what can we do, stash said player on the practice squad and then call him up later right?  guess what transaction has to take place for that to happen too?

 

that's not on the same planet as the trade to get edwards.

We have such poor talent all over this roster we easily could of kept him on to make the final roster.

Hell we could of cut either of our starting OTs this preseason and they would still likely be there. Chandler would have. Those are our starters. Now look at all the weak depth we had heading in that would have been much more likely to be there.

And I agree the Armanti thing happened to early.....but if Armanti panned out like the others no one would have complained even at that price

literally every other team in the NFL would have done the exact same thing we did, and that's the point

 

it wasn't something bizarre or stupid or out of the ordinary at all.  and yeah i'm sure everybody would have been fine with cutting chandler, at that time our starting right tackle, in the preseason.  that's a useless hindsight argument.

For those of you saying that signing FA's to multi-year deals is what got us into this mess, that is flat out wrong.

 

What got us into this mess was signing the wrong players to multi-year deals and/or overpaying from a value standpoint. Gettleman earned his chops as a scout and scouting supervisor. If he doesn't have confidence in his ability to pick through players to find good fits then we have more problems than I thought.

You can excuse trading away a future second rounder for Armanti Edwards but losing Tyler Gaffney is a big deal?

 

Yeah, no credibility in this argument at all.

 

 

 

Yep that's right, Mr.Scot just bitch slapped CRA and showed him how a OG works.

 

 

 

 

 

Mr.Scot is not even playing anymore... :woo:

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight

      There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
