What's taking Gettis so long?

Now I don't know if his injury was more severe than TD's, but how in the world does the guy coming off his 3rd ACL tear, many years older, and what, 2 months less time since the injury, get back on the field before Gettis?

It's just frustrating to me because I really thought he'd not only be our #2 this year, but take over for Smitty as our #1 outside WR at some point during the season to allow Smitty to move inside and wreak havoc like Welker does against nickle backs.

His size and speed combination would be absolutely killer with Cam throwing him the ball, I really see him as a faster version of Colston

He pulled a hammy so I think they just wanna make sure he doesn't get injured whatsoever.

He needs to be practicing right now though or Murphy/Tutu will take his spot.

yeah, optimism sucks.

no, homer-ism sucks, we have been so desperate for a second WR for so long, anybody that lines up opposite no.89 our fans think he is heir to the throne, when in reality, they couldn't make any other team but ours...Adams might have a chance as a slot guy, but Gettis, Pilares and Edwards shouldn't be more then practice squad players

You're right. Your "This guy sucks, that guy sucks. You're all stupid." mentality is so much less annoying.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
