The Ewing Theory

[PantherBrew]

I think the reason this KB stuff hasn’t hit me as hard as some is because I believe in the Ewing theory. 

 

There is evidence that this could be the case with KB. Our one season without him, and everyone’s writing us off, was our best in franchise history.  

 

I shocked when I heard about the trade too, and I don’t like Hurney and I think firing Gettleman was the dumbest thing in the past 15 years. 

But maybe there is something to this. 

 

What say you, Ewing Theory?

[brandon_87]

That's probably the dumbest comparison I've ever seen. He isn't our star player,  not even close, he's just Cams favorite target, and we lack quality depth behind him.

The fact that Buffalo called us tells me there was no thought put into this other than a last second “sure” by the Hurney himself 

[PantherBrew]

It’s not actually comparing him to Ewing. 

But he was A star player on our team. 

The point of the Theory is whether we can get better as a team/offense when losing someone who would appear to be vital to some.

I don't know about that, but I do remember what I heard a business owner tell a manager once.  You can fire who you please, but if you fire someone, you better have someone as good or better to replace him, or you will be joining him on the unemployment line.

Would we have thought we had someone better in 2015 when KB went down? 

[BuckNaked]

That would have been due to injury, can't help it.  This was a decision that was made and ultimately, Hurney will be held accountable for( by fans at least.)

If it gets Cam to distribute his targets to everyone on the team I'm down for it.

why not hire a better QB coach instead of trading away a top 20 WR talent?

Really don't think Kelvin is a top 20 WR talent imho.

top 30?

top 50?

either way, if your QB coach can't coach your QB to distribute the ball and your OC can't design schemes to get different players on the field the problem is your coaching staff, not provable commodities at QB and WR.

this team is absolutely dysfunctional from the top down.

No. It means brandon beane knew that the panthers were never high on Benjamin and knew they’d drop him for cheap
