With LaFell Doubtful going into Sunday, I began wondering if Rivera will finally pull the trigger and put Gettis in there... If he wants a chance in hell to win this game he must start Gettis imo.

So what are the chances Huddlers? Most importantly what are the chances we can win without LaFell and or Gettis in there?

Edit: for those of you who don't know LaFell is suffering from turf toe/foot issue from the play where he dropped the deep pass from Cam.

I don't know what's up with Gettis and Rivera. Several weeks ago, Ron said he would be used as a kick returner, but it never happened.

For Atlanta, Ron said they'll use Armond Smith on returns. Gettis must really suck in practice or he has pissed Rivera off over something.

there sure is a lot of stupid in this thread...........

Gettis was not out performing Smitty, Lafell or Murphy in practice and he is not going to leap over Joe or AE because of their return duties. That's why he was not dressing, not because RR has something against him.

He may have a shot now with the injury to Lafell.

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      To rub salt in the wound when you look back to what were considered some of the most underwhelming resulting seasons in Panthers history before the Tepper's came along we still managed a top 20 passing offense with journeyman Matt Moore and the ghost of Jake Delhomme in 2009. And Steve Smith was 44th in the league in YAC so it was not a chunk play pass offense. Obviously the run game was dominant with Jonathan Stewart and Deangelo Wiliams but comparatively the run game in 2009 only amassed 500 more rushing yards than the 2025 Panthers in a down year for Chuba Hubbard. It shows just how comically desperate we have become to adjust standards that actually used to mean something.

      I wouldn't have picked up the option, to me he's that replaceable. I think the Panthers are taking a more cautious strategy, not ready to move on yet but also holding off on committing to him until the last possible time.  Basically, he's a competent NFL QB. He's bottom third in the league. That's actually not a terrible thing. You can win some with a bottom third QB. If over time he takes a few steps forward he might be a median level QB. I think those are the kinds of steps that Canales is talking about. If you've truly got a median level QB, it's probably worth keeping him as opposed to roll on the dice in the draft. But just to be super clear, I don't think he is capable of taking those steps, and I think we should and will move on after the season

      Unfortunately this is more wishful thinking than anything. The problem is the bar is so low for what they consider success for Bryce Young. I mean we have yet to field even a top 25 passing offense with Bryce Young heading into his fourth season and it's basically considered a when not if we begin contract extension talks with him.
