Heard a conversation this morning on Mike n Mike where they were discussing how to build around a superstar qb, and they basically went against everything Dave believes in. 

They both said to give your superstar what he needs to win NOW, not over multiple seasons.

Who is right you guys?

No idea but the opinions of that show mean next to nothing. They probably just take whatever happened to work this season and claim it's the magical formula

 

Kuechly is our superstar too. A better linebacker than Newton is a qb.

After he was already here 4 years

Gettleman got here in 2013. Having to get to work on the cap hell that strapped the panthers for years. He cleared it up. Getting KB, Funch, Trai, Ginn, Norwell, Remmers, Oher on a budget was all he could do. What do you expect with little to no money? The little wealth that was available can only be spread out so much. He's got money now. let's sit back and see what he does. If he doesn't do anything this off season to help Cam, then I'll definitely grab a pitch fork and march with ya'll.

Cam Newton has a window.

All you have to do is give him a good defense and an OL.  That's it.  Do that and you win.   Now your skill positions can be the difference between being a Super Bowl team and a playoff team but the formula isn't that tough. 

There is no logical excuse for what we have allowed to occur to the OL under Cam.

Agree. It's time.

They weren't discussing how to build around a superstar LB, though. They were discussing building around a superstars QB. What does the last sentence have to do with anything?

And that is why they are radio personalities, and not GM's. IMO you still play the game inside out. But when you're a playoff team 3 out of 4 years you're not gonna have the opportunity to draft top tier tackles, while also navigating our restrictive cap (from a former journalist/media GM) while extending the likes of core quality players, Cam, Luke, Greg, TD, Coleman, Oher. 

You also have to maintain the ability to offer the 5th years to Star, KB, and eventually Shaq as well. You can go all in when your QB is 36+, but when you have a QB as young as Cam you are looking for sustained success, not a flash in the pan. 

I agree we need more weapons, but I'd rather a dynamic runner, and a 2nd TE before we draft another receiver. If we improve the offensive line (healthy Oher, staring Williams, or a vet FA), the separation issues we perceive at the receiver position will begin to clear themselves up. 

I will add when we are between the 20's I'd like to see KB, and Funch rotate, while Ginn, and Brown are on the field to work the deep, and underneath. I think we need two speed guys on the field in three receiver sets, KB/Funch along with Olsen add the size element, but there is no substitute for speed. And once we are inside the opponents 20 and the field shrinks, put the big bodies back in on the perimeter, and play basketball.

Agreed, this is a big off season for G-man IMO. If he doesn't help Cam out, I'm really going to start regretting that "In Dave We Trust" tramp stamp I got last year.

You can not compare the 2..  luke has help what does Newton have.. just say that luke is good and leave it because really you can not compate the 2 they are playing 2 different positions on the other side of the ball.

      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.”
