i don't understand Rivera, i remember when David Gettis was busting peoples ass in pre-season but because he sucked in practice didn't get reps with the 1's,now philly is sucking it up in pre-season and continues to get reps????

Shula looks like such an idiot for intimating that Brown could emerge as the number 1 receiver in KB's absence.  Philly Brown has done absolutely nothing to prove that he is worthy of a roster spot,  much less that level of expectation.

I think that's why I feel so inflamed by it, because to me, he had to think we were idiots to believe that in the first place.

And that is the point at the core of this thread.  Every year, even the last two "successful" seasons, we weren't as successful as we should've been because Rivera gives away roster spots and playing time because he likes guys not for what they do, but who they are.  That's an admirable quality outside of professional football, but not within it.  Each of the last two seasons we lost games we shouldn't have, especially early, because Rivera played guys that didn't earn it and then eventually, he was forced to make those moves by extenuating circumstances out of his control.

We should make a move for a Patterson or a Michael Floyd. 

 

Im still hopeful Funchess balls out. Dude is a miss match and much more of an elusive YAC guy than Benjamin. 

I could deal with a Patterson move if they would take a 6th rounder or less.  But what has he proved in the NFL?  Two years in the NFL and he averages less than 40 catches per year, less than 500 yds receiving per year, and exactly 3 TD catches per year.  Why is he a solution?  What has he proven in the NFL that would "solve" the Panthers problem?

With regard to Michael Floyd, next year he's owed over $7 million in the final year of his contract.  Why in the world would you burden your team with that kind of outrageous number for an utterly average receiver?  And his numbers again = NFL mediocrity.

What would putting either players on this team mean other than "Gosh!  At least we're doing SOMETHING!"  The most likely result of either of these players is a waste of time and money, because that's what they've proven to be so far in their NFL career.

Now if the Vikings or Cardinals cut the guys?  That's a different story.  That's taking a shot with no risk or cost (a la our long, lost Stephen Hill).

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
