Right or wrong and regardless of circumstances, this is going to become a needless story now.

JR is not going to be happy with his GM, and Gettleman is going to have to clear this up.

 

That is exactly why I said what I said earlier, ie, this is going to be another thing in the media!

He actually makes a very good point...

 

The only problem with the article is that no one really knows what Gettleman meant except Gettleman. The writer is clearly speculating that Gettleman was referring to Cam... however, it's very possible that Dave was referring to the whole team when he said "it's time to start winning".

guys, think about it, if fans are upset cam is getting the blame, and news reporters are upset cam is getting the blame, how do you think the rest of the team feels when its basically their fault.  This wasnt DG taking a shot at cam, this was DG, trying to get the rest of the team to take responsibilty and elevate their game.  Its a bit of mind manipulation but should work..

Hello David Gettleman's brain, can you tell us if you are thinking of o-line help.

Either (and i hope) this was taken completely out of context.

 

or

 

Gettleman doesnt beleive that Cam has the leadership abilities to wins Lombardies after his youthful  abilities diminish. 

 

 

 

OR.. maybe this is a ploy to get more pressure on cam to MAKE him more "in charge"

 

i dont know but these comments sound a little personal and to me sound like they are based on something other than talent. we all know cam has talent.

Am I the only one who took the "elephant" in the room to mean the team's record (13-19) is what is holding cam back.  Why is it that reporters and the media are saying he said that was CAM's record.

 

Gettlemen didn't say that.  He said that they need to start winning, that they have the QB of the future and he's really good but that's been overshadowed by the team's record over the last two years.  What's wrong with that???  ITS TRUE.

 

People are making this into something that it isn't.  And its idiotic.

I'll tell you what the elephant in the room is its the damn defense. Since drafting Cam the focus has been about 70/30 building up the defense. I've never seen a team draft a qb and do so little to help him. Is Cam perfect hell no he's only played two seasons.

I think we sometimes forget how young Cam is because of what the other young qbs are "doing"

RG3-Kirk Cousins steps in and throws for more yards in a game than RG3 had all season!

Russel Wilson-was on training wheels while playing with a stellar defense.

Andrew Luck- was asked to do a lot and that team had a magical season or maybe their schedule was magic.

Colin Kaepernick- Alex Smith was having a career season behind that line and defense. Lets not forget that.

Cam Newton- horrible offensive line with a secondary that might be taking bribes.

      Malik Willis anyone

      I must apologize, my sarcasm at times doesnt translate well in text form lol. At this point I would welcome us signing him, Trey Lance, trading for Jameis Winston, asking about Deshaun Watson and playing phone tag with Tom Brady before I ever fully entertain a season of Bryce Young being the defacto Starting Quarterback of the Panthers.

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By beckersteen · Posted

      We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.
