A little David Gettis love

[SCP]

Carolina Panthers

WR David Gettis(notes) – A sixth-round pick in 2010, Gettis could become the Panthers’ No. 1 wide receiver. He started 13 games in his rookie campaign and made 37 catches for 508 yards (13.7 average), and he did that with an awful situation at quarterback. Gettis was one of the few bright spots for Carolina during its 2-14 season. While it’s not certain Steve Smith will be traded, it appears likely that he will be playing elsewhere whenever the 2011 season begins, clearing a spot at the top of the WR depth chart. If Cam Newton(notes) or whoever lines up under center outdoes Jimmy Clausen’s(notes) 2010 performance, Gettis should have no trouble exceeding his production. He’s a vertical threat and the 6-foot-3, 216-pound Gettis has a great combination of size and speed. He still has to become more consistent and work on his hands to improve as a pass-catcher, but he could be in the conversation in discussions regarding the best young receivers in the league by the end of the season.

Been a Gettis supporter and fan since he began making noise in training camp last season. Was impressed with his route-running ability and the dude has some speed without a doubt. I am really looking forward to watching this kid play this season, both him and Lafell could become great for us. However, we have had receivers in the past do well early in their careers only to fall off.

I had no idea that we even had 508 yards passing for the season... Let Aline to just him... Very Interesting read!

Somebody had to produce last season. He is far from one of the best young wr's. He had 25% of those yards in the Niners game alone.

I remember a really long thread with people saying he wouldn't even make the team and a lot of us trying to convince so many otherwise about DG. People thought Wright, that white guy, or Edwards was gonna beat him out haha

Gettis, Hardy, & Martin were all bright spots last year in my eyes with Gettis glimmering like vega on a sh!t team

[Montie_0123]

I'm hoping Gettis and LaFell come into there own this season whenever it starts!

Not much of a Lafell guy, but I am a huge fan of Gettis.

Gettis was one of the lone bright spots of last season. Love this guy's potential.

pretty much the only time we had anything resembling decent QB play. I don't see the point.

Getting is gonna be an absolute monster

[SorthNarolina]

I think Lafell is more consistent, Gettis is more of a big play guy.

[CarolinaVeins]

Man if we can have a consistent Gettis at #1 and consistent Lafell (or Braylen) #2...Smith can be a solid slot receiver for us
