Didnt gman/rivera say something about not bringing in players exclusively for one position?  I don't see them bringing in ginn just to be a return man.

 

No they actually said the opposite that they would bring in players who could be just special teams guys.

Exactly. This is why bringing back Ginn on a 1-year deal makes so much sense.

 

We're going into the draft looking for a WR/KR but if we don't draft one (or reach for one) we already have an excellent KR/PR in Ted Ginn.

 

 

This what Gettleman meant when he said you use Free Agency to set up your draft.

dont see him as an answer... but a step in the right direction. still want to see what kind of receiver we draft.

 

positives:

speed - will make a defense respect us as a deep threat... opening up things for KB and Olsen. could get interesting seeing him and philly brown in some fancy reverses.

ST- (goodbye Bersin) versatility

CAMistry- he has seen his most success as a receiver with Cam as his QB.

had a down year, we should be able to sign him for cheap.

 

negatives:

im sure there are some, but they really dont come to mind right now.

Bring him back.

I like to only remember the things that I say that are correct. But last offseason I said out of all the people released or allowed to walk (including Smitty) that two players we would miss most were Mike Mitchell and Ted Ginn Jr.

I still stand by that belief.

Yes he had some drops, but his speed helped every other receiver so much that season, and he is a proven punt returner.

This makes a lot of sense for us, and for Ginn.

The ever present caveat though is "for the right price"

I said ginn too omg

Also, aren't players that are released before free agency eligible to sign with a new team immediately? So we can start negotiating with him now, right?

yes, but this is where people want to get themselves heartbroken.  Just because a guy is available right now, or just because the team has two dollars to rub together right now, doesn't mean they're going to sign guys right now or day 1 of UFA.  

They're still going to wait out some guys looking for the big payday and grab players after that.

not that mark s isn't a good poster, but in general you want your featured news on a heavily-trafficked site to sustain a certain quality and brand. if the ted ginn thread literally reads "cards released ted gin wot do u guys think" and it gets ten thousand hits, you're losing the opportunity to make it yourself with a bit of commentary and brand flair and keep your product consistent.

 

you can learn a lot about business from watching breaking bad.

 

 

I don't know why this is so hard to understand.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
