Seems to be alot of similarities between the pro-Hardy and anti-Martin crowd and vice versa.

But me down for anti both.

Martin IMO had more to do with the Miami drama than Incognito. " Bullying" however is a fun thing for the media. Read all Martin's text and he just seems mentally unstable.....not a victim

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. 

 

 

WTF??!?!?!

 

All of the Internet Heroes in this thread have assured me that young Mr. Martin is soft as a marshmallow.  That all those years he played and dominated in one of the best college football conferences in the country, he was allowed to play using powder-puff football rules.

 

Surely you must be mistaken?

Yet, his former college coach who presumably knew him very well snatched him up very quickly when he became available.  That's about as strong of an endorsement of Martin as I can imagine.

I would've rather had bell as a backup, as well. He was a known quantity to us. not starter material but more than capable to spell someone

 

 

A guy who graded consistently lower than Martin...

 

Made twice what Martin makes...

 

You would rather have that guy over Martin.

 

Well, I guess we can count out logic and reason as one of your strong suits.

This is a great pick up only if you have never seen Martin play. All bullying jokes aside-- he gets manhandled and pushed around. It's a fact. I watched him play for the Dolphins and he was terrible. He was a 2nd round pick and eventually lost his job on a line that gave up 58 sacks in one season. I saw several 49er games with Martin getting used. I'm reading some of these comments referring to Martin as being solid depth. Martin is anything but solid and will not make your team.

 

 

Not very reassuring. I don't think I have seen him play so I cannot say but it's also a strange coincidence that his issues about bullying came out at a time when he was not playing well.

Out of 80 NFL OT's, PFF has him rated 70th in run blocking, 75th in pass protection, and 76th overall. he has given up the most amount of hurries of any tackle in the entire league.

 

 

he's not solid for anything...i'm a niner fan, and i usually try and find the positive in any player, but there were not very many solid moments for him last year. his 2nd or 3rd start of the year last year, he did ok in, and after that, just terrible. only reason he saw any field time last year was because of so many injuries. thank your lucky stars if martin doesn't play a down in 2015 for you...means your oline is healthy and playing somewhat well. and if he does play, means cam is running for his life

Bell was bad cuz he was asked to do too much. He would be a fine backup. And I'm more reasonable and logical than most of the irrational people on this forum.. which is why I refrain from taking personal shots at people

Do too much?  What the heck do you mean by that?

 

You realize that even as a backup he actually has to put a hand on the pass-rusher when he's in the game, right?

      XL is out here being a hero!

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Interesting topic.  I have had a few NFL friends and one told me that he could not work out or train unless the activities and facilities were approved. AI: In many NFL contracts, certain activities are restricted, and injuries sustained during those activities can lead to the voiding of contract guarantees or even the entire contract. These restrictions often include dangerous activities like skydiving, rock climbing, or even engaging in contact sports like boxing. Additionally, injuries sustained while working out at non-team facilities or during personal recreational activities may be classified as "non-football injuries," potentially impacting the player's compensation.    Having said that, I question the reason the person filming this was not helping.  Secondly, the decision to put it on social media makes it seem a bit prearranged.  I do not think this would violate his contract, but I do think it is a bit stupid on his part in that he could be injured.

      Doesn't make it right.  And as you put it, you wanted to ban him from being country, which is essentially policing who he is as a person lol  I get protecting the "asset", but banning people from living their life is crazy. Russell Wilson likes to play helicopter pilot.  I would deem that WAY more dangerous.  Those things scare me.  I still wouldn't want to keep him from doing it if I were his boss.  I would just try not to think about it, haha.

      Could do better could do worse. I've seen some people very indignant over bringing him back and I can absolutely relate to the sentiment. But it's just in a backup role. He's also a good locker room presence and an effort player so for a 1 year rental in a year where we aren't going to do much it's fine. This is a development year. And there will be options if need be at the trade deadline. Besides at the end of the day we all knew a signing like this was around the corner after how drafting Mark Williams ended. He should have been our franchise center for the next several years. I don’t put that failure on the Hornets.
