Remember when everyone was angry that the Panthers cut WR Jarrett Boykin last year....

Huddle gonna huddle. 

 

Do you think he would even be in consideration for the squad this year? Seems like just looking back at that situation really brings how much the unit has improved into focus. Boykin was basically a less talented Norwood, who probably won't even make the team this season.

Well I would have rather had Boykin last year and the 7th round pick we gave up for Norwood than Norwood since he contributed absolutely nothing so there's that. 

Nope. He contributed to a red zone interception so there's that.

I don't put that one on Norwood. Cam's arm was hit during the throw which caused it to sail high and right. He barely got his fingertips on the ball.

ehh, i forgive it. losing benjamin in camp was a major blow and throwing some poo at the wall was due dilligence for gettleman. norwood was no world beater but facing a season without your top receiver it's not much of a gamble to throw your 7th-rounder at a shot to repair a little bit of the damage.

Nah he still got his hands on the ball it just went right through his hands. Watch the replay.

      No, I'm starved for contention. If you can't see that and keep wanting to turn things like this back around on T-Mac, then you're just either being purposefully obtuse, or is a fan who is happy having 5-6 win seasons just because we're so used to the 3-4 win seasons and you like "just being better"

      You mean the guy who took over a franchise that hadn't had a losing season in the previous 4 seasons... who proceeded to get his team into the playoffs in 3 of his first 4 seasons, only to win 2 games in said playoffs, to then go on to having a 54-74 career record and never won another playoff game after those first two? Who then after being fired from that job, took over a team that was 30-18 in the 3 seasons before he got the job, got into the playoffs that first season, lost their first postseasons game, and then went on to have a 6-26 record over the next 2 seasons? You're literally proving my point by bringing up someone who's claim to fame is that quote. If you just play to win the game, you're never going to be a successful franchise.  You need to play to win the game while ALSO working to make your players better.  Having the former without the latter is a picture perfect recipe to become a stagnant franchise. That's how you work towards being a winning franchise who can contend in the postseason.  And sure, having a stagnant franchise that makes the playoffs every other season is better than what we currently are, but that's not what I strive for with our Panthers, I want to actually contend for championships in my lifetime.
