Panthers claim OT Jonathan Martin

[MHS831]

Gettlemen is looking for deals in the damaged goods bin.  If you all do not get it, start bitching because Gettlemen is not signing Duane Brown or the next Tony Boselli.

 

If he is good, he will stick.  If not, he will be cut.  I am sure we don't have a ton wrapped up in this move.

Former 2nd round pick and only 25... good baseline and plenty of room for growth.

[Mr. Scot]

Martin before...

 

 

 

Martin after hanging out with Norwell and Turner...

Choir boys. JR gettin what he wants.

Now if we can just get an OG to finish up our o-line... Richie Incognito is available isn't he?

[clark kent]

Not bad

[Mr. Scot]

Not sure how many people remember, but Martin is actually the second player that was part of the Dolphins bullying scandal to play for the Panthers.

 

The first was Andrew McDonald.  He made it to our practice squad last year but then was signed away by the Seahawks early in the season.

 

(I think they cut him later because I remember some folks here hoping we'd bring him back)

[rmoneyg35]

Seattle claimed him off of our practice squad if I remember correctly.

Sooooo we want Gettleman to sign OTs.

He gets a former second round pick on the dirt cheap

Everyone bitches. smh

What do you guys think there is some stud all-pro OT floating around somewhere?

This is a solid move, if it doesn't work out it doesn't hurt us, if it does we have a possible starter or at least depth.

You guys are impossible to please

This was a good move by Gettleman. I liked Jonathan Martin when he was coming out of Stanford. He hasn't really found a place to stick yet and the Panthers can potentially be the right fit for him. What he does well is he is a absolute mauler in the run game. If anyone knows the Panthers, they know we want to establish the run game first. This was a cheap move and we don't have to reach for a tackle in the draft now. This move could pay off big time when TC rolls around. I'm officially on the Jonathan Martin bandwagon!

Open holes in the running game and keep Cam's uniform clean is all I want.  I don't give a poo about the other stuff.

 

Also, it doesn't affect our comp picks either. Nice.

10 to 1 you would not say that to his face if there were no laws or friends to protect you and no way out of the room.

Would he tell on me though?

Just kidding!!!!!!! Obviously not, but I couldn't resist jumping at the opportunity of rustling a few jimmies on this late friday afternoon.

But on a serious note, a mean streak isn't something you can just develop. Hanging out with Norwell ain't going to do jack poo, it's something you have or you don't. Like I said I don't mind this signing because of the low risk, I haven't paid any attention to the product Martin brings on the field so I can't bash this signing.

[top dawg]

Any pick that has the potential to add quality depth or be an upgrade, I am all for. I am sure that G-man and Matsko saw something they can work with, so it's all good.
