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.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
