I was referring to the draft---I guess you could add Norwell to the mix if we include undrafted free agents and free agents.  Point being, the OL seems to have not been much of a priority--

Norwell was a Gettleman pickup too.

Check your timelines, dude. Marty was fired in October of 2012, brought back in late July of 2017. Anything between those two dates is either Gettleman (hired January of 2013) or Brandon Beane.

I had different years and went with it.  I was at work, interacting with students, and doing this between chats--multi-tasking--just not effectively.

But to the important issue---Gettlemen did more in the few years he was here for our OL than all of Marty's years combined. 

Marty signed a gimpy-legged C that Elway let walk and an Ivy league, undrafted, free agent G.  Then he drafted Little and Daley this year, after Cam is hurt.  A bit reactive--a bit too late if you ask me.

I mean, what isn't a cop-out answer? Walking thru every detail on all of the what if scenarios?

The fact of the matter is that no team is going to give the Panthers anything worth a damn unless they know that Cam is healthy, nor will he start if he has any setbacks.

Let the man fuging recover before you make Cam face his future, holy fug.

If Cam is healthy and all-in, the team keeps him and now has the luxury of rebuilding while Cam gott dayym Newton is the QB. If he isn't, then the team saves $19M. This isn't difficult.

All of these talks about a trade: What do you think the going rate is on a former NFL MVP that changed the most important position in the sport? A 2nd rd? FOH. You don't trade Cam unless you get the farm AND the town gas station.

It happens.

Sometimes I'd like to change history too :Eyes_Emoji_42x42:

However, if Gettlemen was the GM for most of the second half of Cam's career here (Marty years 1-3, 8-9) then he tried to surround Cam with Hog Mollies--Marty just didn't.  His comments after drafting Silatolu are downright embarrassing.

Bama Panther's earlier post in this thread is right, though. You can't think that way.

Football decisions have to be based on what they're going to do, not what they've done before. Rewarding someone with a contract because of what they did previously is how you get dumb contracts like Jake Delhomme's extension after the Cardinals disaster.

If we were gonna think that way now, why would we have let Greg Olsen go with one year left on his deal?

Letting Cam play the final year of his contract is not rewarding him on past performance.  No one knows if Cam can play at a high level this year, but he deserves to be given the chance.

This is what’s going to happen:

panthers sh1t on Cam in an ugly divorce. Claim he isn’t healthy, and move on. 
 

cam is released and signs with another team. Cam leads said team to playoffs and wins comeback player of the year. Panthers win 2 games next season and Ruhle’s seat is hot. 

Honestly, it wouldn't shock me. 

Seems to me like this is the full on Tepper show and Hurney is still here pretty much solely to be his rubber stamp and fall guy if need be if it all blows up.

Greg Olsen probably deserved better than to be unceremoniously released, but that's football.

Nobody "deserves" anything when it comes to football decisions. Believing somebody "deserves" to take up current cap space now because they contributed in prior years is Ron Rivera type "everybody deserves a happy ending" thinking. That's what gets you stupid contracts like what we gave Jake Delhomme in 2009.

Of course that’s what he said.  Cam’s not gone unless his health doesn’t check out and those that have been salivating at the mouth to get a good ol boy at QB will try to extrapolate more from Teppers comments than that, but that’s all it is.  Teppers not going to commit to Cam until his health status has been made clear.  If Tepper has proven anything its that he means what he says, nothing more nothing less. 

What do you mean by good ol boy?

Yes and tepper’s happy ass will have an empty. Stadium if his team doesn’t produce.

It's look like that the last two years anyway. They say every game this it the 100th something straight sellout and half the stadium is empty. Don't think Tepper started that lol.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
