Goodbye David Gettis

Another thing to keep in mind is that Olsen is the #2 option on this team. Lafell is really a #3. You add in Hixon and Ginn and Even Edwards that were above him and he wasn't going to see many snaps even if he made the team.

I swear that this dude is the Real Cam Newton!

Just the way he says things...

Go ahead and laugh at me now, but I'm being for real serious. His insights are just too on point

Not being melodramatic, just real. I don't think our receiving corps hinged upon Gettis, but he sure added a lot of good value and depth to the position.  I mean, I don't want to rely on Armanti or Hixon if we have an injury.  At least I could half way feel some hope with Ginn, Gettis and LaFell. Now if we have an injury, I am going to be thinking that we will be lucky just to hold serve.  I have heard all the preseason hype before, but I've also seen the reality when you get right down to it, and AE and Hixon (and all of them, save for Smitty, really) are going to show a whole helluva lot more than they have for our pass offense to not revert back to the broken-winged bird that it has been, and it will do so in a hurry if Smith were to be out any appreciable amount of time (and any time, really, with such small win-loss margins to earn a playoff berth).  Gettis has that rare combination of size, speed, and the ability to catch that can keep defenses honest and even off balance.  He was the X-factor that could make people pay for taken him for granted. 

 

I just got through talking with a Skins fan up here in D.C. before I got on here to get the final results, and he was talking about our need to get Cam some offensive weapons (including guards to keep him upright) and I came down to this.  SMDH.

The injury you refer to would most likely be Gettis based on his history.

Im sorry man, but this post is hilarious.

 

Well, plenty of people including this Skins fan thinks that our inability to protect Cam and give him some weapons is hilarious also, and then we take one of them away in lieu of some guys that many Panthers fans have never even heard of.  

 

OK. We'll see how it goes, but don't fail to recognize the humor in the situation when our passing game suffers at the first sign of injury,  just plain mediocrity, and/or lack of execution.

Armanti "Teflon" Edwards, lives to ride another day. Lmfao@ someone saying he can play special teams. Hell, I can "play" chess...just not very well.

Heeeeeyyyyy, more random hate for Armanti. We certainly don't get enough of that around here.

Sorry guys, when I look at our WR depth now, without Gettis it looks like a whole bunch of smoke and mirrors.

You are giving Gettis way too much credit.

3 passes in 2010 created a legend that kept growing despite him never doing anything beyond it.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By panfanman · Posted

      Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?
