Just a little perspective

Just to get this out of the way, I'm not happy about Smitty, and I think Gettleman may be making the right decisions but he hasn't really shown me a lot around the people skill department.  With that said...

 

Figure we have a rookie receiver with promise, and a veteran who's maybe got a year or two left in the tank (like Smitty).  We've got Williams and Stewart both healthy, Tolbert back, and the two guards that we should have had last year.  SOMEONE will be able to step in at LT and while they probably won't be as good as Gross, that's not the same thing as thinking they'll be a turnstile.

 

So basically, Cam, our RBs, Olsen, and some receivers that don't scare anyone.  Can we move the ball?

 

Or really, is there anyone out there who believes we won't be able to?  Seriously?

It's an interesting approach that we cannot analyze at this point in time. We need to see what the team looks like come week 3-4 of preseason to judge the "Gettle Magic" this season.

 

I am torn about Smitty not playing in a Panthers uniform this coming season. I view it as blasphemy! Whether the team was winning or losing, you could always count on 89 to go hard on every play and get his peers fired up in the process. His energy was contagious!

 

With all that said, it looks gloomy now, but I do believe we are waiting to sign these Free Agents towards the beginning of OTA's... The FA's value will go down since no one else is looking at them, but they could still be productive. I see us still being competitive, but I would be SHOCKED to have similar season to 2013 at this point.. 

 

Only time will tell....

I dont really understand OP but I think it says we suck but we are still good.   If thats the case then yeah!  I am with it.  Good Thread

 

Even with average receivers, we have enough to move the ball.  As long as we have Newton under center, there's no reason to think we won't be able to score.  That's my poorly made point. :)

By average receivers you mean guys that have never started and have not been active on game day?  I am all for giving guys a chance but I suspect this is going to be ugly.  I hope I will eat my words....

The past two years those same pieces (Cam, our RBs, Olsen, and some receivers that don't scare anyone) were average, ranking 18th in scoring. Yeah there is still plenty of time to improve but looking at the roster today, there is plenty of reason to worry.

      Ekwonu doesn’t get dog walked under 2 minutes in the 4th, we drive, kick a FG and win

      A lot of young QB's struggle with holding on to the ball top long. He has gotten better progressively in that regard. Pocket Time(in Sec):  2.5(2023), 2.3(2024), 2.2(2025) Time to Throw(in Sec): 2.9(2023), 2.79(2024), 2.82(2025) The divedends have been fairly small, is the issue.

      If you can only fire ONE person before 2026....

      I'm firing DC, though I think it actually makes the job less attractive. He's not prepared to be a HC and it's showed. A new HC is not going to be tied automatically to BY. He's going to want to bring in some level of competition in the QB room because anyone who has ever watched football knows our QB room is lacking. If he doesn't, that tells a more interesting tale of who's really calling the shots.  Dave hasn't been decisive enough in game and that leadership council BS has trust fall vibes. Our offense has been pathetically stale and vanilla. Our run game while good has made no sense based on who has been playing best. Our defense is improved but they can't be expected to hold opposing teams to below 17 a game because our offense can't score consistently.  We've beaten some teams we shouldn't have beaten, specifically GB and the Rams, and I think our record doesn’t accurately reflect where the team and the coaching really is. We've fallen flat against a geriatric rookie QB leading a 2-10 NO team and got our ass handed to us TWICE. We're unprepared for the biggest games.  This is what happens though when real coaching candidates turn down interviews because your owner is a narcissistic butthole. You get someone no one else bothered to call and you get the results everyone else would have expected if they had.

      The Saints would be 2-12 if not for us. We are 50% of their wins. A organization serious about the playoffs does not get bullied by a sh*t team like the Saints TWICE. It's over my brotha.
