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.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
