No Joke: The players apparently didn't like Gettleman

Please send me to the millionaire glue factory of "put out to pasture" NFL players.

 

Please?

 

Metaphor.

 

 

You must remember that all things are relative.  I am sure that the NFL players that aren't millionaires or even lesser millionaires, as well as those who got injured and/or washed out of the league feel some type of way about those at the top of the food chain.  Ask Henry Melton how he feels about being franchised last year to his status this year.

 

Of course I could go into guys that helped build the league into what it is today that are now hardly able to function due to the nature of the game---particularly in the past---but that's another story.

Outside of draftees who DON'T HAVE A DAMNED CHOICE, which huge impact free-agent player who has made an impact has chosen to come to Carolina because they just "loved to come play here"?

Have we ever gone after any?

All I have to say is Gettleman got this. If a certain player doesn't buy in, he'll get one that does and then some. This is our guy to build a dynasty. Patriots who? Panthers mother Fugger. Done being attached to player favorites. Ready to be attached to the feeling of winning a Superbowl every consecutive season.

Mike Tolbert?

 

More will come.  Ever since Cam came to town more players have interest in our team.  Someone out there wants to be known as the guy who made Cam "elite" and a superbowl champion.

Also you guys got to remember, its only our big name players who didn't like G-man up (the guys he was asking to restructure and take flat pay cuts).  Just because Dave doesn't want to blow all the teams cap on a couple of above average players doesn't make him some cheap prick.  The money is simply going to be spread a little less top-sided throughout the roster, thats all.  The goal is for everyone to be taken care of, everyone to be a winner and everyone to be happy.

 

Ultimately it is what makes sense.  We won't end up like the Falcons where one injury will completely decimate the team (although if Cam goes down... but heck any team that has a good QB is in deep trouble if their QB goes down),  As the system goes on, the easier it is to maintain.  Players buy in, guys who like to win are happy, everyone is still getting a respectable check, pro bowl and playoff bonuses are being doled out left and right, we win superbowls.

 

As long as we continue to be successful, this plan will work.  Historically, the Steelers are the most successful franchise in the NFL (based on SB wins), they don't overpay players.  The Patriots have had a winning record every year for over a decade, they don't overpay players.  If you want sustained success (which is the best way to win a superbowl, as the playoffs are basically a roll of the dice every year) you need to have the business aspect of your team laid out.  Be honest with the players, weed out the money-only guys, make good critical decisions and you don't have limits.

Mike Tolbert wanted to play close to home for family reasons....had nothing to do with the performance of the team.

 

But, I do agree with you that a franchise on the rise and one that is competing for a championship is a draw.  Now, most players will go where the biggest payday is.  But, if the $ is the same or close, the situation of the franchise is a very big lure.

      Jabrill Peppers Available

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.

      Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
