Does Gettleman Send a Message to Cam This Offseason?

[KendrickPanther]

The premise of my thread starts with this tweet from Bill Voth:

 

Cam? Nah. Team around him would like to see pieces, not just $. RT @Panthers545: @blackbluereview Do you think Cam may want out of Carolina?

 

 

Basically Voth is saying what many of us have felt for the past 4 years. Cam needs talent around him. He needs protection and targets to reach his potential. Voth suggests having talent to compete is more important than money, not to say money doesn't matter. 

 

If the Panthers want to sign Cam to a long term deal, do they need to make a down payment in the form of personnel? In the Past, we've seen organizations go all offense in a draft. Could we see money spent on offensive free agents?

 

If I had decision making power, I would bring in multiple veterans and rookies on the offensive line. I'd try to get a joker Tight End in the draft. I'd try to get a receiver in the draft and free agency. If the defense takes a step back, you live with it because Cam needs to see a future for himself here. His legacy has taken a hit because we pumped so many assets into our defense. It's time to show Cam some love.

100% agree

[Paa Langfart]

I dont care about " cams legacy."  Just want to see the Panthers win.

I think the org will spend and draft according to the TEAM. But I think those two things are going to line up together nicely this offseason

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

there are going to be a lot of disappointed, angry people after the draft wraps as usual

[PhillyB]

an all-offense draft would be faptastic

[Kuech the Sneak]

I think they know they need to do a better job of surrounding him with talent, hopefully the draft board falls in a way that we achieve that goal

[mc52beast]

Of course he's going to send him a message... He's going to give him the necessary talent needed to succeed... There will be no excuses if he has an off year

[CoastalCat]

I wish that he'd had the tools last year. Now we have to extend him for years not really knowing if weapons and protection would help.

If I were Gettleman, I would not upgrade the O-line, hit reset on the entire receiving corp, and let Cam have a mediocre year to have an excuse to re-sign him a little cheaper and save long term loot.

Gravy train with biscuit wheels, as long as 7 wins doesn't win the division.

Wait, what?

I hope he sends the message that Cam is the franchise QB by extending him and not fugging around and getting to clever by half.

[UpstatePanther]

all offense draft isnt going to happen unless the bpa at every pick is an offensive player. i see at least 2 defensive picks coming. one most likely being a safety.

It MUST start with shoring up the o-line. You don't do that, you'll get more of the same from this past season.

Yeah I think so. At times this year Cam lost options because we had them blocking. We would use 7 to block 3 and Cam is trying to find someone open...

 

We have to make sure Greg or TE2 is on a route every pass play. We cannot be forced to block with our weapons.

[WOW!!]

Great let's stop asking Cam to make Bersin and others look like productive WR..
