It's worse than I thought

Well, that's expected. We just had a losing season, and not only a losing season, but a season in which we went 15-1 to drafting top 10. Not only will these so called "bandwagon" fans be more vocal, but your going to have "real" fans be vocal as well. 

 

 

 

Unfortunately, what's going on is a lot of bitching, and many of the "real" fans as you called them have stopped posting.

Those real fans you're talking about pretty much stopped posting once Cam came into his own around 2012. Also, that's usually how messageboards go. Fans stop posting everywhere. They stop posting, and another group of real fans take their place. Hell, even some of the "bandwagon" fans many of y'all don't like end up sticking around and becoming real fans.

See, it's hard to get a sure-fire one of any of those positions. Going higher in the draft helps, but it is no guarantee of anything. Grabbing one in free agency can sometimes be a case of paying highly for some other team's leftovers -- it's a lot like buying a used car off of Craig's List -- it might be just as good as advertised, or it might have rusted out rocker arms and sawdust in the transmission.

You see, the guys don't come with Madden stats and it's not a plug and play situation. It isn't insert X dollars here to get 1,000 yards and 8 touchdowns.

Either Fournette or Cook could be the best players to ever strike the field, or they could be the next RGIII or Reggie Bush.

Luckily, we've got Gettleman here and he's proven to be a pretty good judge of playing ability and he's an expert at balancing budget versus capabilities. He's also proven that he picks up players that add positive influences in the locker room and on the field -- something that a lot of desperate GMs don't even bother to do.

Gettleman has been playing the long game, and it took a while to climb out of the hole he started in. Have patience, the guy knows better what he's doing than you do... I mean, he is studying tape and speaking with scouts right now while you're just spinning your wheels arguing over how bad 2016 was.

 

Fournette is a 90 overall rookie at least bruh. When has Madden been wrong?

This is so easy. This is the year to spend money and you throw in a top 10 pick and a last place schedule and now you got something to work with.

6 losses by a fg or less. Win 3 and you might be in the playoffs.

So lets delve into the heart of the thread.  How many offensive players should be drafted to alleviate the lack of not trying to help Cam i mean the team out?

This is very telling and inexcusable.

All of this "evolve" talk from Rivera should start with him and Gettleman prioritizing the offense for a change. Hopefully, they do just that in the upcoming draft.

Another Cam doesn't have enough talent around him thread by a poster who blames Shula in every thread as if this lack of talent doesn't his ability to do his job either. Hypocritical at best.

Rarely is this ever answered, and even less with solid analysis.

The formula has obviously been working lol. Almost won the Super Bowl last year and were a good team that caught some bad breaks this year. The Panthers could have easily been a playoff team.  

I am agreeing with you if it is not clear. People like to take shots. This franchise could be a lot worse off.

Funny how all of the "but..but..but, last year", support for Gettleman does not translate to Cam. Curious thing that. 

well handle your business by giving him the support he needs and then we can see for sure what his personal responsibility in the matter really is...eliminate it as a factor...

That's going to depend upon free agency, but if we don't address the LT/OT position, and if we don't address the second TE position, I am going to be a human bobblehead I'm shaking my head so damned much. Moreover, we really need another WR and RB also, so to answer your question, probably at least four players that can legitimately start even if they don't (again, depending upon FA).

    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.  
    • I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch 
    • What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
