Panthers trying out DBs?

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

So a guy posting how Gamble wasn't given an offer as well as being unceremoniously cut by Gettleman and then me quoting that and responding to it qualifies as a "circlejerk" now?  I think the number of people preaching "patience" and defending his every move by citing Hurney's shortcomings far outnumber anyone that criticizes what does...  Although the number of people that are at least questioning his moves are increasing with each horrific blowout.

 

I don't hate the guy.  I'm just not a big fan of some of the moves he's made and I don't think he's the most tactful person in the world either.  He doesn't seem to handle all of his moves with the class you would expect from a football executive/general manager.  We don't have to re-hash all of his failed transactions from this offseason, as it is currently apparent, but generally, when we lose, I have a tendency to highlight them and vent...

 

yeah it is a circlejerk.  nothing outlines that concept better than someone posting some kind of inflammatory or misleading premise and then others working off it without actually consulting the facts.

 

there's questioning his moves and then there's outright revisionist history which is all that post was.  really could anybody have just googled "chris gamble retirement"?  was it that hard?

Another fine, classy gesture by Gettleman.

 

*facepalm*

 

Imagine if we could've signed him to a two or three year, hometown discount deal.  We'd have one less problem on the back end right now.  Gamble was always one of my favorites...

 

other teams came after gamble after he was cut in an attempt to get him to sign but he turned them all down.  if we're speculating here i'd go so far as to say that i doubt gettleman broke his spirit so badly that he literally quit football in response to being cut but that's more like my opinion.

Hopefully a nickel, dime, penny, and quarter.

Does anyone wonder if Godfrey can still play safety? Clearly nickel isn't for him, but could he slide back to FS?

Godfrey is done...he can't move out there. He was a bad resign during the Hurney years bc Marty was obsessed with keeping his mediocre draft picks around to try and prove some kind of a point.

Where did I state it my opinion was fact?

 

Unless a source is provided in a post, it's safe to say that it is heavily based off of or influence by one's opinion.  Why is that so offensive? 

 

And who are posts criticizing Gettleman inflammatory to?  Those who worship at his altar while stabbing their Hurney voodoo dolls?  LOL.  It's not that serious, man... 

 

And if you want to look back at my posts that followed those, I implied, if not outright said, it was certainly a possibility that Gamble didn't want to play anymore and the release just allowed for him to do so with no questions asked.  As another poster mentioned, I think it's likely that his heart wasn't in it for awhile and he would only continue playing so long as the money was right. 

 

I was just saying, when you look at who we have cut and who we have kept, it's not all based strictly on cap numbers.  It seems a lot of those players that were kept turned out to be horrible decisions, while several others who were let go could've certainly helped us a lot more than players that replaced them (and I'm not referring to Gamble here).

at least we now know why we were working out DBs. godfrey just got released.

[Mr. Scot]

Guess now we know why.

 

Edit: Ya beat me to it, Rayz.

[rscott94]

Hopefully Terrell Thomas.. Sign him put him on the outside and move Cason to the nickel while Benwikere is out

[Diehardpanther02]

Get this OBAMAnation of this page. BAN IMMEDIATELY

[Snake]

I hope Mikell and/or Florence are in good shape and aren't ready to retire yet, lol.

 

Or, I'd be happy to settle for Champ Bailey, Ed Reed, or Chris Clemons.

 

at this point they cant be any slower than what we have got.

[mrohsofunny]

Neither of them help our extreme lack of speed in the secondary.

Idk Quentin mikell is definitely an upgrade over Roman harper in skill and speed and Florence actually might be faster than Melvin white but skill wise they're about the same but Melvin just isn't a playmaker he's never really out of position he just can't get his head around to make a play

[Kuech the Sneak]

I know champ bailey is probably over the hill, but could he be worse than what we got?

[CatMan72]

DJ Moore?

[PandaPancake]

Think Primetime wants to take his record back?
