Gettleman is trying to find his Victor Cruz instead of going to get guys that can actually fuging play. Gettleman isn't the upgrade people think

Yeah, I'm not sure why we don't just sign one of the dozen or so young All Pro receivers that are just sitting at home right now waiting for a chance to play for league minimum.

Or why don't we just trade our 5th round pick for Calvin Johnson or something? Who cares about draft picks anyway?

I swear, it's like they're not even trying :wacko:

Sarcasm doesn't quite work in this situation, in my opinion, with our WR corps being so great and all.

Sarcasm doesn't quite work in this situation, in my opinion, with our WR corps being so great and all.

Here's a quick exercise to try.

Go take a look at the league's transaction page (or Aaron Wilson's Twitter, either one will do) and check out the quality of players that are being signed by all the other teams in the NFL at this point in the season.

Bring me back the names of the future Hall of Famers that other teams are picking up while we just sit here. Show me who I should be disappointed that we're missing out on.

If trades are more your thing, give me a realistic trade scenario that benefits our team, would be agreeable with another team, and doesn't cost us a future high draft pick.

The perspective I get from people in here is that every team is making blockbuster moves to get to the Super Bowl except us.

Show me some evidence of that and we can talk.

This is more a carryover from this offseason, where everyone noted that we were thin at CB, OL and WR and that Gettlemagic seemed to refuse to do anything relating to bringing in real quality players there.  I'll give him props for safety, but he didn't make the moves I think many of us thought would help in terms of trades or FAs.  I know we've got our limits due to The Ghost Of Hurney Past, but still.

 

As to a move, why not Gordon for a 3rd?  Gordon is better than any receiver we'd get in the third round and probably even better than a first rounder we could pick up, and with our holes, I think getting quality starters is going to be important.

The guy was given a 3rd round grade by Pro Football weekly (not that I put much stock in their draft analysis), so at least someone thought he had some talent.

 

As to the LB from Philly, he must have been cut before we signed him. If you sign somebody off another team's practice squad, they have to go to your 53 man roster for a minimum of something like 3 weeks. I assume that rule hasn't been changed.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      By TD alt · Posted

      I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo.

      Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.
