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!"

      Canales is holding us back

      I don't think Dave touches the defense. That might be a mark against him but definitely a huge red flag for evero. He refuses to run anything other than soft zone and when you don't get pressure that's an awful scheme

      You don't have to convince me. I think not picking up the option should absolutely be firmly on the table but I just do not see Tepper and Morgan doing that for previously stated reasons. Therefore I'm not going to bother entertaining the notion. Just hoping we actually get real viable competition. If that doesn't happen at the minimum then my perception of that is complete and utter professional malpractice.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Bama Panther · Posted

      It was absolutely a catch, and I can’t believe how many folks were stating, before the NFL’s apology, that the overturn was the right call.  The ultimate question in this case is this: can a player complete a catch with only one hand? Of course, we all know the answer to that question, and it is an emphatic “Yes.” T-Mac maintained complete control with one hand (believe it was the right) while the other came off when the ball hit the ground. The ball was in the same position in the one hand (watch T-Mac’s fingers in relation to the NFL shield on the ball) after touching the ground as it was when it first went to the ground. Going back to the question above, if one hand can establish control, then there was no need for the other to stay on the ball, so long as the ball doesn’t move in that one hand that stays on it   It blew my mind that they overturned this in the first place. This should not be a “We got it wrong on the replay because there wasn’t clear and convincing evidence.” This should have been, “That was absolutely a catch.”
