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.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
