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.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
