Debbie Downer. Oline is improved. We Corp improved. St teams improved. We are a lot better than last year and Gettleman isn't done.

 

 

 

 

Sorry I'm not excited about signing a bunch of castoffs.

 

If our WR corp and o-line did improve, it was marginally at best. As it stands now we are basically the same team as last year offensively speaking.

I'm going to regret this. But what would you have done?

in 14' under the scrutinity of the media the NFL was lambasted for not levying appropriate punishment for domestic viloence,and Hardy became the poster child for Goodells exempt list.then in 13' abuse presented itself in the form of bullying and Martin was the victim.i am not sure,but I believe the league banned hazing at the conclusion of this particular probe

anyway the Panthers release Hardy during the off-season (15') and Steve Smith the previous off-season (14')and it's a well known FACT that he not only bullied his teammates verbally but also physically.so it just leads me to believe that this team values image and creating a healthy environment for players such as Martin moreso than abusive talent.

sure it's pure speculation on my part that signing Martin was a PR move,and i could very well be wrong.however,if he comes in and publicly expresses what a great organization the Panthers are,and how it allowed him the opportunity to reinvinte himself...well...

Hardy wasn't released.

According to Joe Person of the Charlotte Observer, the Carolina Panthers have claimed OT Jonathan Martin

You probably know Martin as the victim in the Miami Dolphins bullying scandal from last season. Aside from that, he is a decent offensive tackle that should compete for a starting job in Carolina.

I see this as a solid signing in Carolina.

More from Gettleman: “Jonathan brings quality experience to our offensive line, having started 32 games in his career at both tackle spots.”

Because what other options did Gettleman have? You complain that he didn't improve the team. So I was curious what you expected him to do?

With saying "what other options did we have" your basically implying this team really hasn't improved that much.

And if we haven't improved why should I be excited for?

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
