Gettleman was asked whether Newton was the quarterback to build around.

After a pregnant, seven-second pause, Gettleman said: “Yes, he is. But now it’s time to win.”

Carolina Panthers: Two areas of weakness got weaker during the first couple of days of free agency. Steve Smith was cut, Ted Ginn Jr. signed with Arizona, Domenik Hixon left for Chicago and Brandon LaFell is a free agent. If LaFell leaves, the Panthers will have to rebuild the entire wide receiving corps. The secondary is another area of concern. Cornerback Captain Munnerlyn and safety Mike Mitchell left for different teams. There are also holes along the offensive line with the retirement of left tackle Jordan Gross, the retirement of Geoff Hangartner and Travelle Wharton being unsigned.

 

I believe Cam Newton has been hung out to dry by Gettleman. I believe Dave Gettleman claiming the time to win is now while at the same time creating more roster holes than a screen door does nothing but put Newton in an almost no-win situation.

 

I see Newton moving on to another team when his time in Charlotte is up.

Or we don't have any money?

This is gonna be a great thread.

I think a big part of this is not tying up future cap space with restructures or multi year contracts so we can actually have the resources to extend him.

Not to sabotage him

Anybodyhome up there?

The cam needs to win comment is old.........

As for the rest, it's march... Don't see any games in the near future... Plenty of time to field a team

On a side note, this place sucks with all the menstral cramping going on over the smith cut and Nicks going to another team. I think I'll take a vacation from the main forum for a while. Geez

I won't blame him one bit if he decides to leave

Did you not see the post-season press conference where he said Cam was the franchise QB?

If Cam is offered a good contract he will stay in carolina. He enjoys playing for the panthers so I don't understand people who keep saying that he will bolt at the first opportunity.

Gettleman also piloted the missing Malaysian flight into Ukraine.

I thought this thread was gonna be about Roman Harper.

If Gettleman starts open tryouts for anyone at wide receiver then  I will start worrying.  But I will wait til the roster is filled before I panic.
