Looks like 7th round WR Godwin made the team

Am i the only one who thought he looked like poo in both the return and coverage games? He wiffed big on multiple tackles on special teams. That combined with the shaky hands on returns doesn't scream special teams ace to me.

The only way he was making the team was as a specialist. He was too unreliable for that.

Just like Holyfield, in college he had “speed”.

But he is NFL slow.

Like the fabled David Gettis or future All-Pro Marvin McNutt.

Once the dust settles, Godwin will be the last PS addition.

There was a time where McNutt and Tavares King were our top two receivers.... Sorry Cam you didn’t deserve that.

Come on dude. 2013 (only year these guys were Panthers) had Steve Smith, Ginn, and LaFell on the roster. Dont play dumb in order to make an invalid point.

And after that season before free agency and the draft, all those guys were gone and our top two WRs under contract were McNutt and King. Yes we added KB, Cotch, Avant, but to have two guys who aren’t even practice squad material as the best WRs on the roster at any point is pretty ridiculous.

What is the point of criticizing any offseason roster pre-FA/draft? What practical implications does that have?

A position group being so bad at that point in the offseason that there were no NFL caliber players at the position means that regardless of what you do in the draft and FA it is going to be a weakness. And it was even after our additions.

[WOW!!]

The fact that Gettelmen again let a position group get to a point where he had to spend a offseason to replace everybody in that group.. Was a problem..

Cam went into the season having not thrown a regular season pass to anybody in the WR core in 2014.. Huh?? Ppl need to think about that when discussing Cam..

Quote

The sky is a brilliant shade of blue in Charlotte, North Carolina. The sun's rays smolder the skin with the coolness of a gentle breeze as your only relief. The smell of slow cooked pork permeates the air with a dominance only matched by fresh cut grass in the spring. All the signs were there. Football had awoken from its hybernative state. It was opening day 2014.

Like a young child filled with eagerness and excitement on the first day of school, the fans filled the stadium. They scattered the corridors buying cold beer and 75% off Steve Smith jerseys, until they heard the staccato notes of snare drums. They then scurried to their seats in anticipation of the player introductions.

Drummers, flag wavers, and cheer leaders dotted the field. The crowd roared with the intensity of a Boeing 757.

The team, escorted by smoke and fire, ran onto the field.

"And now, your starters!", exclaimed the PA announcer. He started with Ryan Khalil, and worked his way down the list to the ninth player, Cam Newton.

A sense of bewilderment wafted through the air.

What's going on? Why didn't the star QB come out last? Who was the last two players?

The PA announcer could then be heard breathing heavily over the microphone.

"This...This can't be right! It must be some kind of mistake!", he said in a rattled voice.

"King McNuttatron"

The skies turned pitch black. A lightning storm filled the sky with loud strikes of electricity.

Out of the tunnel walked Marvin McNutt and Tavarres King. They had emotionless, almost robotic, faces. They stopped at center field, and stood back to back.

The PA announcer came back on the microphone.

"Gettleman told me I'm supposed to say this.", he said in a voice of disbelievement.

                     "Fire, water, earth, and wind,
                   let the powers from below, ascend."

At that moment, their eyes started glowing green. Their bodies then began contorting and binding into one. When the spectacle was over, a sight that could be mistaken for the 8th wonder stood.

A 7'0 350 pound receiver. It was built of solid muscle. It had hands the size of catcher's mitts, and shoulders as wide as the Mississippi.

Cam Newton bravely walked up to this towering beast.

"How fast do you run the 40?", Cam asked.

"3.8 seconds", it replied.

"How many bench reps can you do?", Cam asked.

"All of them.", it replied.

It was at that moment, that the whole free agency debacle made sense.

While fans cheered for their new player, David Gettleman sat alone in a luxury suite, with a grin stretched across his face.

"Who's laughing now?", he whispered

"Who's laughing now?"
