Rivera says Cam wasn't consulted in WR moves

Brady was surprised and disappointed that the Pats let Welker go. He then proceeded to put on his big boy pants and lead his team to the playoffs....again..just like Cam will.

I swear some of you think that an NFL franchise is more like a soap opera or sorority than a business.

 

Let's not pretend that gutting all of Cam's active wide receivers is somehow equivalent to Brady losing Welker.

 

Also, look at this seasons acquisitions made by the Patriots and then seriously compare Brady and Cam again.

Disagree, he a player, not a personnel guy. The GM is the guy ruining the show.

I have no problem with this. Cam has enough in his plate with going to school, having surgery and preparing for next season.

 

I was about to say "i strongly disagree" but finally i strongly agree with you.

I see one major reason, Gettleman take full responsability for any decision so Cam can't be blamed, and the harmony of the team is preserved.

Cam's smart enough to understand this is a business and that he's a player.  He may get asked his opinion on WRs sometimes, but he's not going to be the reason we make business decisions relating to the WRs.. and really, he shouldn't.

 

Players have a lot more comradarie between each other than they do with the FO... and that's *good*.  The players can't be unbias.  We can hope that Gettleman can be a little more objective than they are.

 

We had a team where the front office ran operations as if they were buddies with everyone on the team, and we ended up with a bunch of awful contracts to mediocre veterans.  fug that. Gman could have handled the Smitty departure WAY better, but consulting Cam wouldn't have been the way to do that.

Negative. Can't let the inmates run the asylum. Wee can keep Cam here for another 3-4 years if we need to. Cam also knows this is a business.

 

Cam, and his agent know it's a business as well. If they don't start at least showing some respect to arguably the most talented player this franchise has ever had then they'll certainly be paying for it later.

We're what, 2-3 weeks into the league year?

The crisis mode schtick is getting old already. FA is still ongoing, the Draft is still 40 days away, there will be more cuts from other teams.

Let's back away from the ledge and see what happens.

He lost his top 3 targets.....Gronk(injury), Welker, Hernandez(jail)

 

 

Still went well for them.

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?

      I can't see a world where the money goes down, but maybe your lottery odds are now your contract numbers you can offer.  Thunder? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 20 million.  Hornets? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 80 million.  Some form of a system where the money is still there, but so is the freedom of choice (on top of bad teams getting *some* competitive advantage to signing them).
