I swear you'd think we cut Thomas Davis in this thread. Bene is done you guys, that leg injury he had was severe and it has clearly hampered his speed. Dave realizes that Sanchez cant be any worse, and maybe even some experience will do him good later down the line.

He is being serious. watching you scapegoat the coaching staff to absolve gettleman all because you're mad that Ron made some pointless offhanded comment about one of your Auburn boys is what's actually silly.

OK, let me step you through this.

There was NO COST AT ALL at this point in the season of keeping Bene.  We're post-Week 4 which means his salary is guaranteed for the rest of the year.  From a team MANAGEMENT perspective, keeping Bene was *exactly* the same as cutting him.

So you want me to believe that Gettleman just randomly decided "Oh fug it!  Let's ruin some players and coaches lives today as much as I can!"

OK, you feel free to believe that.

Me?  I'll look at the circumstances of what actually happened and try to reason it out.  In other words, if from a TEAM MANAGEMENT perspective there's no difference, then where IS the difference?  The most likely answer to that question that the coaches made a decision that Bene now isn't the Bene of the past and, because of that, they might as well go 100% all-in with the young guys.

I'll believe that over your fainting couch "Gettledouche Power Play over the players and coaches" conspiracy theory if you don't mind.

Linebacker Thomas Davis

"I don't think they made a move like that just based on one game. I think it was a decision they made that they felt would be best for the team moving forward. For Bené and his family, I hope he catches on somewhere quick. If not with another team, hopefully at some point he'd be able to sign back here if that's possible."

I never said anything about Cam, so your once again grasping for straws. 

 

Gettleman is ALL about putting the team first.  That doesn't support your take on it, so of course you are going to label me. That's cute.

I'm an equal opportunity asshole. I tell it like i see it, and I don't care whether they are players or coaches. 

Keep digging, please.

You feel that way, and I feel differently.  Cool.

The genius at work....shh, don't question...

You know, questioning would actually be OK if the questioning was based on rational thought and rational objections and the questioners presented rational options, rather than the standard "FUG IT GETTLEDOUCHE JUST HATES THE PANTHERS AND HE FELT LIKE SWINGING HIS BIG KIELBASA AND FUGGING WITH A PLAYER AND THE COACHES LIVES FOR NO REASON EXCEPT A POWER-TRIP DERP!"

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By PootieNunu · Posted

      It's funny how the teams with the great QBs stay at or near the top of the league every season.  Yes it is a team game, but the QB has the biggest impact in most NFL football games.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By d-dave · Posted

      Look, no one is ever a perfect player.  Since the QB handles the ball on 100% of plays offensively (unless there's a direct snap to a RB or something), I can absolutely see where they get an outsized blame and gain from what happens at any given snap of a football game.   Theoretically, there shouldn't even be a stat or idea to a 4th quarter comeback or game winning drive because you should already have done that during the game.  Losers!  Right?  Just because you win late doesn't take away the fact you tried to lose the game for your team! I'm not a fan of that opinion, but again, I'm just a moron with a keyboard.   Bryce has limited tools.  Bryce has not inspired the same level of confidence in us as Cam Newton did in year 3.  I certainly get that.  We traded a TON of assets to get Bryce, and we still suck.  (I mean, since we've lost games, we're losers right?) I completely understand that some fans are just unhappy with a limited QB and a team that isn't performing well, unless the other teams are worse losers than we are. I will say this:  Bryce will fight until the end.  Sure, he's has some real loser football.   But in close games, he's doing his best to comeback (even against a winner of prevent D). Now is it better or worse if your QB plays their best ball in the first half and sucks 2nd half so long as they finish with 300 yards, 3 TDs for your fantasy points? Who said stats are for winners anyway?  The Panthers and Bryce has a long way to go.  I'm enjoying the winning right now.  Though I do start each game thinking "how will we fug this up today?" Because it's been such a poo show in the Tepper era.  Will he prove to be a legit starting NFL QB?  Maybe not here as evidence by our record with QBs who were high draft picks.

      Ive never liked the term game winning drives because they include games where the QB was part of or was the reason the team was behind in the first place. Ive been arguing against this stat since the Delhomme years. It should only count when the QB is out of the equation of reasons why the team fell behind in the first place and is at least half the reason why he led the last drive to give them a lead. It shouldnt count if they just hand it off most of the time and the RB is on fire and they go down and score a TD or FG.
