Bill Barnwell: Panthers' patience should be rewarded

[Devil Doc]

Gettleman isnt disrespecting a player... G Man just put the player back to reality. He will pay you what you are worth.. Plain and Simple.. he knows the values of players and what he is looking for.

It's nice to feel like there's a plan, isn't it?

How many offseasons did we spend just pulling things out of our ass?

oh god, mentioned many times, its very nice knowing you have a real NFL GM running the show now.

Do you think we are a jr peer to some of the most well run franchises at this point?  Green Bay, Pittsburgh and the patriots come to my mind. 

 This article copied my quote....

When NFL fans talk of model franchises that are well run, the Pittsburgh Steelers, Green Bay Packers and New England Patriots are the three that quickly come to mind.

he's the little engine that could.  he'll get his crazy ideas obliterated in one thread and then just materialize in another posting the exact same stuff acting like it never happened.  can't knock him for lack of persistence i guess.

it's especially bizarre when you consider what happened with charles johnson turning down millions to come back and play for the panthers.  and how cam and luke's contract extensions weren't contentious at all.  or greg olsen's.

 

Just shows to go ya. If you are part of the family. Gman treats you right. If you ain't. God help you.

This coming season will be especially telling for how we are doing as an organization.  There's no shortage of one-year wonders over the past couple decades.  Do not kid yourselves that we could be a markedly better team next year and go into the post season with a worse record

Definitely. Next offseason if deals dont get made this year, they'll be a lot of good FA

You have to look at the Panthers as a 10+ win team every year. We will be vying for not only Divisional Champs, but Conference Champs as well. Honestly, we should be thinking SuperB owl every year. As long as Rivera and Gman are together, and they have a QB, they have a the ability to win a lot of games.

 

You have to be hardheaded, or a pessimist, not to see that the Panthers have arrived as a Franchise.

Or still massively butthurt about Steve Smith.

You know, I could probably see it, if we would have gotten worse. Then you have something tangible to blame on letting him go. But since we have improved, it seems to me it isn't that big of a deal. We cut a vet, although popular, and got better. Hard to argue that point.

 

Unless of course, you would rather see individual success, over team success. In that case. Flame away.

 

One could also say that the turning point in our most recent success was solidifying the O-line. Norwell, Kalil, Turner, and Remmers  Or to be a little more specific. Since the emergence of Remmers. We are what? 22-3 or some sort. Once our Offense started clicking. We were off and running. So to speak.

 

No bearing on the Smitty dealio. Just showing that we were very successful with him.

Gettleman has been patient (as always), and it will pay off.  Just off the top of my head, there are still quality veteran guys that will now come here on the cheap.......

RB - Alfred Morris, Stevan Ridley (really hope we can sign Morris on the cheap - great fit)

CB - Brandon Boykin, Patrick Robinson (both are ideal for the slot)

WR - Anquan Boldin, Percy Harvin, Marques Colston (fill the veteran void by Cotchery)

Safety is a little thin, but I think DG addresses that still in the draft and also veterans that are cut.  I also believe they want to see if Boston/Marlowe are ready for primetime too.  It's not like Harper was an All-Pro back there.  As long as they solidify the DE and add another solid CB, Coleman will make up for the weakness at SS.

I'd say zero chance on Harvin. Too much of a head case.

His history has been that every team he's been part of has ended up deciding he's more trouble than he's worth.

Not to mention he has played in only 28 games in four seasons, in large part due to injury.  Cotchery has played in 29 in 2 years.   Harvin hasn't played more than ten games in one season for a single team since 2011.

As @SCPpointed out in a different thread, this is the first time I've seen the masses not flip out over this.  In years past, the Huddle would have imploded when Weddle signed with the Ravens.
