what is it with users like brooklyn bully and the OP?  there are at least a few others like them.

 

guys who "don't care" and talk about the panthers being a dumpster fire and richardson being an out of touch asshole and how the panthers will never win so long as he owns the team

 

meanwhile they live on this fuging site and post every single day.

Who are the best teams? How much cap room do they have? Why aren't they complaining about their cap? My problem is, that a GM's job is to improve the team regardless of what the cap situation is. The cap can be worked. You can always make the numbers work

GMan's philosophy is to build through the draft. Would you not say he's done that job and would you say that he's not improved this team in his two years here?

This is the most excited I've been about this team since you were 10 years old, yet you still have this stance.

What the colts are doing is going all in to win a championship. They are picking up guys in their 30s for a run right now much like the saints have done in the past. The problem is that this doesn't always lead to long term success and if not manged properly results in cap problems down the road like the Saints.

What we are doing is building through the draft and building long term not for a sudden push now. We have done that in the past with actually mediocre to poor results. For those who like the all in approach you need to pick someone else other than the Panthers. You are going to be disappointed and bitching all the time. That s not what we are going to do. If. You are along for this ride you need to understand the philosophy and either be good with it or find a team that better matches what you like. Or keep your mouth shut and stop bitching because frankly it changes nothing and wastes everyone's time. Gettleman is not going to change. It is like trying to teach a pig to whistle. It is a huge waste of time and just pisses off the pig.

I've seen fire and I've seen rain.
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend,
But I always thought that I'd see this same old stupid crap come to an end eventually, but no, not as long as there's some douche-nugget who gets all butthurt because we didn't sign somebody they wanted and "Oh, Lord, we gonn' suck again and ain't gonn' win no games 'cause we didn't sign nobody yet", because everybody knows that the entire season is won or lost in the first 5 minutes of free agency, and we didn't do what some other team did, and that's why we were only one of 5 teams that didn't win the Super Bowl last year.

Gettlemen has sucked so bad since arriving here, I understand why Thinkaboutit!! is cynical.  Gettlemen has completely failed to deliver, and everyone knows that overpaying players on day 1 of free agency, especially when you are climbing out of cap hell, is how championships are won.

Dave Gettleman's alter ego, the antithesis of reasoning.

I feel like ThinkAboutIt is a Zod alt sent from the future to test me and see if I'd ban a member for being a super troll, but not technically doing anything wrong.

I don't know if I'm supposed to be Arnold Schwarzenegger or Edward Furlong in this movie.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • 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.
    • 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
