Only 1 team in the last 18 years has won a SuperBowl with a receiving group as awful as ours. The 2000 Baltimore Ravens

The fans that find some sort of bizarre consolation in defending Gettleman while we field the worst WR corps in the NFL are completely beyond displaying the capability of any rational discourse. There is no reasoning with someone that is okay with losing to the point they will rationalize failed moves even as things crumble around them. Losing has been such a normal part of this franchise for so many years that some of you have seemingly become accustomed to it. It's sad.

I think the point is that he didn't "field" the worst WR Corp in the NFL, it became that way through injuries (which Gettleman can't control) and by trading away KB (which Gettleman had Nothing to do with). I defend him when he should be defended,  and I don't when he makes an error. 

He made a mistake letting Ginn go, I won't defend that, but he didn't field the worst WR Corp in the NFL so I will defend him on that. I think there's some rational discourse in that.

That's all fine and good,  but some of you are trying to act like our receiving corps was set even with KB and Funchess. Nope!  We were stocked with a corps full of question marks and not exclamation points! 

I've supported Funchess throughout,  and called for Byrd even last season. Although I think that Funchess is legit and getting better,  I doubt that Byrd is the next T.Y. Hilton. Sure,  he had a good during preseason,  but he disappeared as well.  I still don't know if he's a legit three or just slightly above average depth.  The fact is,  both Byrd and Funchess, and of course a rookie with a hammy presented enough questions in my mind, where someone should have said, "Let's shore this group up,  and stop dilly-dallying around."

   Exactly. And let’s remember, Ginn was basically non-existent  for three years before DG pulled him of the scrap heap. On a 49er team that was desperate for WR help. Letting him go in 2014 was much worse, IMO. Especially when you’re letting Smith and Lafell. But he couldn’t get on the field there either. 

  FOR RED.......not poster I quoted......  I judge a GM by each move. I don’t bend every opinion I have to support/bash anyone in the Panthers organization. I’ve defended DG some, and bashed him( I’ve been trashing almost everything he did this past off-season. I said he should be fired the day we signed Matt Kalil. Overdrafted CMC. Followed it with Samuel. Wasn’t happy with the pick but he flashed some and we will have to see what he becomes. I like Moton but do they have a plan for him? I can deal with a “redshirt year” but He needs to see the field. Same for Hall, which could have been Eddie Jackson and Carl Lawson(two guys I would have used a 2nd on)if we stayed put. 

  So while you’re swiping that broad brush and painting anyone who doesn’t agree with you that letting Ginn go is the worst move in NFL history is just a biased, please remember that you have spent most of your time on here bashing every move DG has made since March 2014. When he made it personal with you by cutting Smitty. So who is just being biased to support an agenda again?

    • Bryce put it in a spot only his guy could get it only for David Moore to drop it. T_T Tremble and Horn both struggled yesterday and that killed me since they're two of my favourite players. Tommy knows he has to come down with this one. Folks were understandably saying that JT would've caught that had he not gotten hurt a few plays earlier. The more I look at this play, the more I think that Bryce made the right decision throwing it out the back of the endzone. He could have tried to laser it in to Thielen, but that safety is lurking awfully close inside. Insuring the field goal here after a 44sec drive to end the half was the right move.
    • Except Bryce was the main reason we were in it 
    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
