David Newton says we are following the Eagles' model


Recommended Posts

I didn't see this posted anywhere....and maybe for good reason.

http://www.espn.com/blog/carolina-panthers/post/_/id/29487/panthers-using-formula-that-helped-eagles-win-the-super-bowl-with-receiver-overhaul

"So, general manager Marty Hurney began the overhaul with a formula eerily familiar to Philadelphia's."

This guy. Says by gettin rid of Benjamin and bringing in an older version of Smith and Jarius Wright, we are doing exactly what Philly did when they brought in a younger version of Smith and gave Alshon a $50 million contract.

I don't know about you guys, I didn't get the OMG-WE-SIGNED-ALSHON! vibe from these signings. It feels a little bit closer to when we signed Domenik Hixon.

lol, no...

We are using the same formula that we used in 2015.  Don't overpay for #1s when you can get a bunch of dudes who do one or two things well and use them creatively to maximize their strengths.

Cleaned that up a little.  :)

Yeah, I think the PHI plug is for headlines over anything related to what they're actually doing.

When you compare:

Ginn/Funch/Cotchery/Brown 

to 

Funch / Smith / Wright / Samuel & Byrd

I think you begin to see the team getting back to what worked best for Cam, the notion he needs all these big bodies due to ''inaccuracy'' was over-exaggerated, Cam's best with receivers that create space vertically, and horizontally, he's a ''sight'' thrower and that's not to say he lacks anticipation; however he's been at his best when his receivers have the threat of speed and can separate.

    • Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement. 
    • Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players
    • This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
