The Question is on the Roster

If you go back to Gettleman's comments in 2013, then you will see that his original statement was 'sometimes'  the answer is on the roster. I do not think that we will pursue any of the 'bigger'  name free agent WRs and I am okay with that. 

Do I  think we will win the Super Bowl with our current cast of WRs?  No Do I think we would have,  with Benjamin in the line-up?  Possible but still probably not. While we are trying to win the Super Bowl every year,  I think we are still a couple of years away from getting the roster where Gettleman is aiming for and I don't think he will sacrifice cap dollars or a promising young WR to bring in another vet and hope for instant gratification. 

I think we roll with the killer bees (Bersin/Boykin /Byrd) in an effort to improve the depth of our receiving corps long term but it may hold us back a bit this year. I am still confident we will win the South.

Jesus Christ if I hear "we are still a couple years away from contention" one more time. We have a franchise QB, a MLB that's the 2nd coming of Ray Lewis, a top 5 D and pro bowler TE.. 

What more is it going to take for us to contend?! I can pick out a handful of teams that have the same amount of talent we do that beast year in and year out and consistently make it to the playoffs

Ask yourself that question, because in your predictions you have us at 7-9. LOL

If you read my post I definitely did not say we are a couple of years from 'contention'.   And I didn't pick us to finish below. 500.

Who are your handful of teams?  The only two teams I would consider saying 'beast'  year in and out are New England and Seattle. I still don't think we are at Seattle's talent level overall <close but not quite)  and New England has possibly the best QB of all time and probably the best coach of all time. 

My point was,  I don't think this is the year where Gettleman would push all his chips to the center of the table. He may never take that approach but I definitely don't think this is the year,  if he did.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      fuging Christ dude this isnt hard.  Like at all.  I get you simping for this poo team is your thing but sometimes you have to look at reality.   Even removing his bum knee from the equation, none of this made sense.  He is 31.  He has been paid handsomely for his service here.  He was currently under contract for this season.  Why in the holy fug did anything have to be done 2 weeks before the season started.   The people for this move, in this thread are saying A) He deserved it (this is the nfl it doesnt work like that  B) It frees up cap space (then why in the fug didnt we do this in Feb or C) You logic (We are getting a deal at 53 million guaranteed for the next 3 years.   You realize with this deal we cannot cut or trade his ass for 3 years.  You understand this right?   So in my opinion we should have let this ride into the offseason and go from there, what he is going to threaten to walk, big fuging deal he would be 32 on a chronically bad knee, what other moronic franchise is going to give him 40 million up front?  It wasnt going to happen.   And you are acting like its impossible to replace a 32 year old RT with a bum knee.  Just go and draft someone, move Icky to RT.  There are tons of options instead of extending this dude 2 weeks before the fuging season.  The truth is Morgan and the shitheads in the FO fell for this dudes crying act and got all sentimental and shelled out another ext.  We are a poverty ass franchise that doesnt act professionally

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      5 Im glad football is back but after the embarrassment that was the browns pre season game where our starting D made Sanders look like a serviceable NFL QB, I lost hope again for a successful Panthers campaign this year.  I do hope I’m wrong!
