Gettledog's plan

[blackcat]

I would never franchise my QB. After 5 seasons you should know what you have. Either offer him a contract or let him go. I, personally don't want to get into Jay Cutler territory where we are paying a guy a huge paycheck with no real shot at winning. There are just team out there that have built their team with expensive QBs and you know they aren't winning anything of substance in part bc of their QB..Bears, Lions, Falcons, Chiefs. They all have QBs with huge contracts and virtually nothing to show for it.

Not saying Cam is in this territory but if after 5 years you still aren't confident enough to lock him up would indicate he'd be heading there.

I don't think there's any doubt about signing Cam now. Sh$tty coaches are a dims a dozen, franchise QB's are not. This topic is dildos.

It's extremely hard to support this team the way it's currently being run. New GM, New Coach, young exciting QB, same ol Panthers. Can't get back to back

SH$T, how have we already lost 8 games? Where the hell have I been?

[DanTheMan]

I think it's about time the coaching staff decide whether or not they want Cam to be a passer or a RB.

A couple words for you...Steve Young...Randell Cunningham...Steve McNarr...Shall I go on?

his plan looks quite bad at the moment

If we continue to lose and miss the playoffs then IMO DG does several things:

1. Shula is gone. He'll bring in a different coordinator to see if Cam is able to succeed in a different system that he decides will benefit Cam and test him at the same time. If cam flourishes as would be the hope...Cam stays and gets a big deal.

2. He'll draft a QB early in case Cam bolts (assuming no new contract before the draft...which is the expectation). This will also put pressure on Cam to step up and be a winner as well as allow whoever he drafts to learn from the new OC who will have an offense DG approves of.

3. Draft weapons and bring in talented OL for Cam. This roster sucks. Outside of a talented TE, WR and center the offense is garbage.

Bottom line is that he's going to give Cam every chance to earn that cash but at the end of the day it's going to fall on Cam bc the guys holding him back (Shula, sucky OL) will be gone long before any contract talk is made.

 

Dunno know if you got the memo. But Cam (IMHO) has all the power.

 

So I'd phrase the question (as I did on another similar thread): Will Cam Newton stay in Carolina if Rivera, Shula, and maybe even Gettleman himself are still here. That's the real deal as I see it.

His plans looks like:

 

Cut guys that aren't his.

 

Hire guys that are his.

 

??? luck into a superbowl like the giants.

 

They lucked into two of them?

Speaking of Steve Young.  I wish we employed the WCO here.

They lucked into one of them. The other had fug all to do with one of their scouts no matter how much it's been touted as the reason we should trust Dave Gettleman's decision making.

I think the year in question is the same year they won three consecutive road playoff games to get to the SB right?  Wouldn't call that luck.

 

I'd call it peaking at the right time.
