Panthers claim OT Jonathan Martin

[B.BERSIN]

Don't know why some huddlers would complain about signing him, he has talent and sure won't ask for huge money. His history is over talked by the media.

Debbie Downer. Oline is improved. We Corp improved. St teams improved. We are a lot better than last year and Gettleman isn't done.

 

 

 

 

Sorry I'm not excited about signing a bunch of castoffs.

 

If our WR corp and o-line did improve, it was marginally at best. As it stands now we are basically the same team as last year offensively speaking.

It's off-season. Humor him.

Because what other options did Gettleman have?  You complain that he didn't improve the team.  So I was curious what you expected him to do?

At least we won't be reaching for whatever OT is left in the 1st.

in 14' under the scrutinity of the media the NFL was lambasted for not levying appropriate punishment for domestic viloence,and Hardy became the poster child for Goodells exempt list.then in 13' abuse presented itself in the form of bullying and Martin was the victim.i am not sure,but I believe the league banned hazing at the conclusion of this particular probe

anyway the Panthers release Hardy during the off-season (15') and Steve Smith the previous off-season (14')and it's a well known FACT that he not only bullied his teammates verbally but also physically.so it just leads me to believe that this team values image and creating a healthy environment for players such as Martin moreso than abusive talent.

sure it's pure speculation on my part that signing Martin was a PR move,and i could very well be wrong.however,if he comes in and publicly expresses what a great organization the Panthers are,and how it allowed him the opportunity to reinvinte himself...well...

Hardy wasn't released.

You probably know Martin as the victim in the Miami Dolphins bullying scandal from last season. Aside from that, he is a decent offensive tackle that should compete for a starting job in Carolina.

I see this as a solid signing in Carolina.

More from Gettleman: “Jonathan brings quality experience to our offensive line, having started 32 games in his career at both tackle spots.”

Congrats to dave for trying to improve the issue at OT. Both oher & martin where low round draft picks, that are still young. In order to make this years team @ OT, you're going to have to earn it.

With saying "what other options did we have" your basically implying this team really hasn't improved that much.

And if we haven't improved why should I be excited for?

Cheap depth. Let's hope Matsko can do something with him.

 

Bring in as much competition as possible. There should be no excuses this year if we have inadequate protection for our QB.
