According to Steve Reed of the Associated Press, the Panthers placed wideout David Gettis on the active-physically unable to perform list, meaning he’s not ready to pass a physical and begin camp.

Unfortunate because I was looking forward to seeing what he could do with Cam...might be awhile until we get to see that.

It's been a year.

If Gettis is still having problems with that knee, I suspect he'll always have issues with it.

I hope you're wrong, but I think you might be right.

Yep. Definitely an issue. Gettis hurt his knee before last season started.....other guys hurt there knees at the end of last year and are already back.

You are comparing apples to oranges. There are many variations (like the type of injury, the position, etc). At WR, if Gettis doesn't have his speed back, then he is useless. So the Panthers are going to give him time to recover. It's not that surprising. I never understood why people here thought he would be a major contributor this year.

Wes Welker was a WR who tore his ACL at the end of a season and was ready the next year.

They were talking about Gettis on Sirius NFL this am

Honestly, Murphy > Gettis based off what I've seen. I remember watching Murphy torch the Steelers a few years back and thinking he could be a stud if he develops right. That hasn't really happened yet, but again, with Jamarcus Russell, Bruce Gradkowski, Kyle Boller, and a recently un-retired Carson Palmer throwing to him, you can't expect much numbers-wise.

My only concern here is Murphy's health.

Ill give credit to anyone who can get 600 yards receiving in consecutive years for the raiders. Everyone saw what a QB carousel can do to even the most talented recievers(Steve Smith). By no means am I comparing the 2, I just think with consistant QB play he might have had even better stats for those 2 years.

    • Bryce has been playing the best ball of his career the last three games IMO. He wasn't the reason we dropped the game in NOLA. Seattle's defense will be his toughest challenge yet this season 
    • I'll be at the game Sunday and up until last year I had a perfect attendance record. Now however I have seen us lose to the Chiefs (last year) and the Bills (this year). So we can no longer rely solely on my ability to pound overpriced beers to propel us to a win. 
    • I haven't been able to watch Seattle on a dedicated basis but the Seahawks are a much better team by the all accounts: eye test, record and DVOA. Defensively they are sick. Best DVOA in the league first in rushing and second in passing. Offensively their passing game has been on fire this year led by JSN I can easily see this being like the Buffalo game where things just get out of hand for us early, that being said this league really is week to week and Seattle does have the disadvantage of traveling cross country for an early game.  If and big if, the Panthers are able to effectively run the ball and limit the amount of time Seattle's offense has to generate explosive plays we have a path to winning this game.  Seattle fans won't be happy to hear this but bad Darnold is always lurking in the background. He is truly an enigma to root for bc he will have an incredible throw that only a few people can make but then will turn around and throw the most bone headed pick of all time.  I think ultimately we drop this one as ultimately it's human nature to be looking forward to that week 18 game. But man how special would it be to be leaving the stadium on Sunday with a win and a miracle dolphins upset
