I also laughed when Edwards was walk down by a Punter. When we were told how quick and elusive he was.

So a Panther makes a big positive play that puts our offense in excellent field position, and you make fun of him?

I think you should just stop right there and make your exit.

That could very well be the reason he was let go, but if it was me making the decisions, which I'm obviously not, then I would keep a talented guy with ability who has to learn the plays over a solid or not all that talented guy who already has it down.

Nakamura is an example of why the philosophy in favor of the latter fails in the face of the former.

 

Funny part about that is Martin was having a better TC by all observers and they just gave Naka the starting job.

That's just it. He had two years to learn the plays. And he didn't.

Gettis had as many catches this preseason as *insert name of guy who actually made the team* has made in his entire career. Like I said earlier in the thread, Ginn fills Gettis' role better than Gettis and I don't particularly care that he was cut. But I can definitely see why people would be upset that he was cut and others were kept.

 

It would be like cutting Cole and keeping Fua. Someone who has shown he can be a good player but has had injury trouble cut for someone who has not shown in any way that they can perform at the NFL level, but "well maybe in another year."

 

upset? understandable.

 

raging? lol too funny.

Right here example. I'm stating my opinion and people telling me to leave..

 

 

Also it showed a lack of talent that a player with no Angle was able to walk down a player who was billed as elusive and quick.

That's just not how this coaching staff works. Remember Legedu Naanee? Boy he sure did know the system.

Another awesome example Rodeo! Thank you. Thats why I don't get all these semi-celebratory posts about him getting cut, rubbing it in the face of people that were pulling for him.

There was a reason I didn't have a lot of confidence in Ron and Co. before this, and the long list of inept coach's pets are a huge reason. Let any other team in the league have Nakamura do what he did last season and at the very least he would be inactive if he was still on the roster. Naanee, Ajirotutu, Armanti, Bell, and possibly now Hixon. All guys who have either gained their spot or held onto it despite justified criticism due to favortism for whatever reason.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
