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.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
