Panthercougar68 posted this article in the Bill Voth thread and I think it articulates what I believe is probably Gettleman's philosophy in regard to FA WRs.

Read it. Especially if you are shrieking like a middle school girl that just found out that 'One Direction' broke up about our WR situation.

Kerry Byrne knows what he's talking about and he's certainly right about this. Just look at Seattle, no stud WRs last year but they all benefitted from a strong O-line and running game. I'm not saying we don't need to address the position, but we need to make sure our O-line is patched up first, especially since we are a run-first team with two good RBs

seems to be a pretty terrible article. it starts out suggesting and then at one point outright says having good wide receivers isnt all that important to an NFL offense. any panther fan whose been around even a decent amount of time seems to know this is not the case.

I wasn't going to call out the crybabies by name, but thanks for signing in.

 

It's a stupid article. I'm fine with DG not signing any WRs in FA, but the reasons in the article are absolutely ridiculous. WR is the third most important position on the offense, behind QB and LT. It's a passing league these days and I don't see how anyone can think that you can get by with scrub WRs. The Pats last year sucked on offense (comparably to their other seasons) having no WRs, and so did the Ravens only having Torrey. And the Jets?? Geno Smith sucks but if he had even 1 semi-decent receiver last year he would've had a much better season and the Jets could've made the playoffs. And how about us? If we had Anquan Boldin (just an example, other WRs would work in the example) last season as our #2 instead of LaFell, we would've won the Super Bowl. To say WRs don't matter at all is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

I didn't get that from the article. I got, having an uber dynamic WR leaves teams feeling as they have to force the issue to make the big play happen(trying to hit home runs vs sound base hits). Just play fundamental ball and spread it out! My god, as panther fans, we have spent years watching the ball force fed to Smitty, yes there were good outcomes, but it led to a bunch of stalled drives!

Strong OL(should be bigger priority for us) with a solid QB will make the average WR corp look All-Star

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
