There are some distinct differences to how the teams are run, but in essence, you could be onto something.  The Chargers wasted a HOF caliber QB in Rivers by being cheap, and mismanaged.

We are wasting a HOF caliber QB's career by continuing to trot out below average coaches...not necessarily teams.

 

The Chargers allowed a glut of talent to leave after Rivers' first couple years there, and then started drafting poorly...they seem to be a bit better now, but still not great.  

IMO Carolina has had talent all through Cam's career, we just haven't had the coaching to use the talent effectively.

I agree. As another poster said, their failures were a little more based on the Playoffs but you get the gist. Former League MVP at QB, former Defensive POY at MLB, former Heisman Winner at RB (granted that doesn't always translate), Pro Bowlers at several other positions. Seems like we should be getting more out of this core than just 2015.

The first thing people will reach to is our poor offensive line during Cam's career, but that is a league wide epidemic right now.  There are very few good/great offensive lines, and the ones that look that way one year, seem to regress the next.

However, we have had talent here, great talent...but no one to effectively manage said talent.

Glad you pointed that out. People keep bashing Getty for ignoring the OLine. Not like he could run to 7-11 and get Pro Bowl LT.

It seemed like he DID push out Gross though.   Gross was like a top 5 LT his last year and decided to retire.   I don't think we made enough effort to keep him around at least a few more years.

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…

      I don't really care about your post at all. I just saw the direction of the discussion and this snippet from an article I read earlier in the day was a good spot to put non-Panthers info. I mostly don't care about the players personal lives. That's off the field/personal poo. Not really any of my business.  I also don't know him personally so what would be the point of congratulating him outside basically attempting to draw attention to myself like so many in the social media/internet realm.
