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!"

      No one's saying LaMelo has no blame we're responding to you acting like he's the reason they lost. The scapegoating and blaming the teams woes on his personality is where it's like Cam Newton all over again. It was a failure on multiple fronts and primarily Lee's. Dude said ON AIR pregame that they had to protect the paint and if that was his gameplan going in he couldn't have botched it more. As the commentators said Ball's a rhythm guy and Orlando was preventing him for getting any kind of flow going. I'm a normie watching on TV and said they needed to bait them into fouling to combat that. They didn't even try until the 2nd half when it was too late. I think it's fair to expect the star to overcome whatever but LaMelo was not the problem in that game and he's not what is holding the team back. He's the only reason they're flirting with being a great team. I kinda put the center play on Lee too. Moose is great until he's up against a big who can body him. We've always known that and that's what Kalkbrenner is for. I don't know if it would have changed much but Kalkbrenner should have had more minutes than him.  And moving forward with the center position, I just think it's the time to trade Diabate while his stock's high and that's not an indictment of his game. He's like an evolved combination of Biyombo and PJ. He's a great rim protector and the strength issue is just what you're going to have to deal with if you want that. But Kalkbrenner is perfectly capable of protecting the rim and we gotta get away from the undersized centers or it'll always be a problem for us.

      Honestly its why that Jalen Coker grab was a big deal.  I'd been warming up to the idea of a sadiq pick and was adamantly against a receiver...but this altered my train of thought.  I mean For instance, Cade Otton signed for 3 yr 30 mil contract...thats not dramatically different than the rookie payscale for #19 (4 year 20 mil with 5th year option), however you KNOW otton is decent...no clue if Sadiq will be anything.
