Panthers work out OT Bruce Campbell

[Darth Biscuit]

Campbell is the best FA OT out there?  Really?

The free agent market for tackles is abysmal.

Hello darkness my old friend

[rmoneyg35]

With all the injuries on the line I would be for signing this guy.

continuity > talent, apparently.

better to know the system and players than to be good.

To be fair, most of what else is out there isn't any good either.

 

There's a lot of "used to be good" but none I know of offhand that are anything special right now.

but are they better than bruce campbell? i mean is he seriously the best we can do right now? why not bring in several and let them compete? why not actually test players out and see if there isn't a best fit we overlooked?

i have a very hard time believing it. this is one area i believe gettleman is just being stubborn on. i think he's done really well in many areas, but the handling of the OL and decisions he made to keep us from being able to afford better talent is sokething i really have a problem with.

I know some used to be better.  Better now?  Honestly don't know.

 

Campbell doesn't excite me either, but I took a look at free agent tackles a few weeks back and there's just nothing.  It's all either 'used to be good' or 'might be good in a few years'.  Pretty much nothing in-between.

[Darth Biscuit]

...and I don't get that either Rayzor, I thought everyone said that the trenches was where Gettleman made his money?

It really is.

i undeestand that, but we don't know for certain that they couldn't at least help here unless we gave them a chance. i just don't understand why we never did unless gettleman is just set on proving he can do more with less on the OL.

Only real hope is that there's somebody out there who might not be up for a full season but could be useful in a partial season.

 

That said, the biggest names available have had multiple tryouts but mostly no offers.  The few guys who actually did get offers wound up cut shortly thereafter.

 

i don't think it's an ego thing.  I just honestly think the cupboard is bare.
