Rivera says we are done signing linemen.

Wait please everyone stop freaking out. Until we see exactly what was said in context we really have no way of knowing what RR meant. Certain sports reporters (not naming anyone) have had a way of taking quotes out of context in order stir up interest from fans.

Or maybe....just maybe...that Gettlemen and Rivera know a little more about putting together a roster and running an NFL team that the bunch of Monday Morning QB's on this site (myself included).

 

I would not trust most of you making personnel decisions for the Panthers any more than I would have most of you complete and file my tax returns.  And I would expect most of you to feel the same way about everyone else on here (myself included).

People say that before every losing season. They may know more about it, but the results are probably the same.

I was just about to say the exact same thing. Also, would RR sabotage his own job/career by not pushing for the signing of an available player who would help fix the OL?

I think RR knows by now ....DG is playing his cards a certain way.

All he is getting is bandaids on offense. Gotta work with what he has. Bare bones to compete. Then DG will act once he knows who the coach will be...

DII G drafted wasnt about helping this year and Barner was a pick with the future of DT after this year in mind

Well, in a way if Rivera pushes too hard for new players in his third year he is saying he hasn't done well in developing what we have. Might be an awkward thing to do.

Outside of his draft picks....Rivera is playing with a roster built by a HC and GM who were both deemed subpar by this organization.

3 years in now..,,and his QB has been given no help outside band aids and castoffs. Olsen being the lone exception and the Bears were giving him away. We still are on a very unique path....given we have Cam.

It is very diffiicult to attack what you say when you include yourself in the criticism.  So, I concur.

 

Seriously, OL is very hard to evaluate, especially from the TV angles we see.  As a former OL coach, I can say that the endzone camera angle is the only way.  So, when I see people posting comments about OL as if they are experts, I snicker ever so gently.

 

Any good GM is looking to upgrade every day.  If an opportunity presents itself, Gettlemen will make the team better.  Bell and Williams are not going to create dead money or hurt the cap if replaced.  I can bet we have scouts looking at other teams' OL film right now.

      I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks.
