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.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
