Ferrari QB used like a '85 Camry

comHe cut Steve Smith what don't you understand?

 

How can you put weapons around him if you are taking away his #1?

 

I don't want to hear that it takes time crap. We have a team that can win the Superbowl now why wait? You can create room to sign key players if you really want to win.

 

It pisses me off when I see lesser talented QB's like Stafford have multiple weapons on offense while we are stuck with one #1 and a bunch of scrubs.

 

The problem here is you think that last year's team was Super Bowl caliber. It wasn't, and the 49ers clearly showed why in the playoffs. They easily had more overall talent and depth than the Panthers, and with a ton of contracts, we simply don't have the money to start loading up on acquisitions to important positions. That's where the "it takes time" comes from. You can't gut the entire roster in one fail swoop if the contracts are so bad that you're still paying dead money.

 

I have no doubt if Gettleman had the freedom to cut as many guys as he wanted to and re-shape the roster into his kind of football team, he would do it, and I think that happens this upcoming off-season.

 

Sure, Stafford has great weapons on offense, but what good does that do when his defense is getting beaten. The amount of help Cam gets via this defense can't be understated and I would definitely put that under the "Building Around Cam" umbrella.

We had home field advantage in the playoffs over every team in the NFC besides Seattle. We beat the 49ers in the regular season.

 

You damn right I thought we were Superbowl contenders.

 

What kind of statement was that?

Big picture, man...biiiiig picture. That Ferrari we have at QB is dinged up right now but barring a totaling of it like Washington did with their Ferrari, our Ferrari is going to be ours for awhile.

 

It was given an '85 Camry's spare parts to run on, but now it's about getting all the aftermarket stuff to help improve its performance.

So you didn't think the Panthers were a Superbowl contender last year?

 

Did you not watch us in the regular season? We were the hottest team in the NFL for quite some time.

We were the hottest team in the regular season but we still had a ton of flaws and got very lucky at times (the bad snap @ ATL last year is one example.) Playoffs are a different beast.

 

Outside of Smitty and Ted Ginn in the return game, all of the departures from last year's team have ranged from non-factors to detriments on their new teams.

 

But you continue to miss my point. It's not about last year. It's not even about this year. It's about keeping Cam healthy so he can perform at an elite level for us for many years. Dave isn't stupid. He's going to get Cam the help he needs. Patience.

Well, the o-line made it look like 4 Joe Greene's were rushing tonight, too. Not sure if both teams turned a corner in opposite directions or if this is an anomaly given the first two weeks but I am going to assume the latter.

 

So we're just going to assume everyone we cut wasn't worth keeping, and everyone we signed will turn the corner?
