A significant part of the Panthers success can be attributed to...

[Udogg]

The Chicago Bears?

Greg Olsen

Getting rid of Ron Rivera which ultimately led to him coming here

Peanut

Jared Allen

 

Are they like our farm system or something?

Is it like a forgone conclusion that Alshon Jeffrey will be here next year or the year after?

Do we have some kind of profit share with them?

 

[Ivan The Awesome]

Alshon will want a lot of cash... I doubt Gettleman pays that man, with other people that need to be locked up like Norman. 

 

I mean it would be amazing to see Benjamin, Jefferey, Funchess, Ginn, Cotchery. Just don't see it happening man. 

[Mr. Scot]

Also to John Madden, whom Rivera sought out for advice.

Madden basically told him to coach like he wanted to coach and ignore critics.

[Jon Snow]

SCP's helmet, duh!

[bleedsgreenandgold]

Alshon will want top dollar and seems as fragile as Julio Jones....pass.

[KillerKat]

I don't see Alshon wanting top dollar because I don't see him getting it. I see him more on a "prove it" contract first.

NOT AN ALSHON THREAD

 

anywho, we've been trading players with them for a while, Moose, Chris Harris who now coaches for us, James Anderson, Ricky Manning Jr, Clausen and I'm sure there are more.

The problem with wanting Gettleman to pay for expensive receiver talent is that Cam has done so well with marginal talent that he has shown Gettleman that he can do great with rookies and journeyman. That allows us to spend the bulk of our money elsewhere and makes acquiring guys like Jeffreys a low priority.

Actually I think the bigger issue preventing that is that a Benjamin-Funchess combo with Ginn as a number three looks pretty good right now.

[Moose Hoover]

John Fox knew we would play the seahawks in the playoffs so he made sure cutler got hurt and started clausen against the seahawks, then made sure he made his way to Baltimore to play the seahawks again...just so they would have an overinflated ego. He also knows we will play the broncos in the SB and has surgically inserted microfilm into jared allen's left butt cheek. This was all done with the promise of his initials in the dedication of philly's and fiz's new book.

Unless Alshon presents a deal Getts can't refuse. (Deal on the cheap) He won't make that push. And shouldn't. We have areas that need more attention. CB, SS, TE (to pair with and eventually replace Olsen), and PASS RUSHERS!!! I think these will be priority. IMO.

I love the idea of getting a really good young tight end to work with Olsen.

It reminds me of what the Patriots had with Gronkowski and Hernandez (before Hernandez went psycho).

That is true, plus Gettleman might even go for another big guy in the draft to play receiver or TE.  We can afford to draft another big guy with upside midway through the draft with these three guys as our starters.  We dont have a lot of holes right now.
