Gettleman on Cam "It's time to start winning"

[SauceBoss]

Why talk about a contract when the only three letters that matter is W-I-N? Why pay him if he can't lead us to glory? Tampa isn't going to pay Freeman. At the same time, a swiss cheese secondary and no name receivers aren't going to help Cam.

[top dawg]

If we fail this year it's not on Cam, it's on Rivera.

 

Let the season play out before we start assigning blame...if any blame is to be given.  If we fail this year it's going to most likely be a team effort, on the field and on the sidelines...and in the FO.

Detroit paid Matt Stafford, why? Because he is obviously better than Kevin Kolb or any other now journeyman career players and he gives them the best shot to win. Fact of the matter is Cam is a star on our team and will not be able to leave Charlotte. Give gettleman a few drafts and I believe we will built for consistency. Not to say we can't win now but all those close losses are because lack of consistency because we just don't have the talent everywhere we need it.

We have as good a shot to make the playoffs as the Cowboys or Redskins right now, we just need to tow the elephant away and focus.

Ehhh...didn't really care too much for his comments.  If we're going to put this on Cam, get him some damn weapons and a o line that can block for him.  We are in some serious trouble if something happens to Smith, and we have to depend on the scrubs we have at WR.  Still shocks me that we haven't gotten Cam any offensive weapons since he was drafted 2 seasons ago.

If we don't win, then Rivera will be replaced, not Cam. If the next coach can't win with Cam, then maybe Gettleman will start looking for a new QB. Assuming he's still around if that happens, that is.

NFL history shows new coach means new QB in 2 years. They all want their guy. Exceptions have win rings prior to coach change.

If anything G-Man is sticking up for his boy...it's easy to take the comments out of context what I gather from the statements are with everyone riding RGIII's and Andrew lucks jocks, Cam has gotten lost in translation despite putting up better numbers due to our poor records the past 2years....he's simply saying in not so direct a tone everyone will shut up when he wins

This was really a read between the lines quote. Nfl.com sensationalized it by making it seem like Cam is on the hot seat.

And NFL.com having something to sensationalize is all on Gettlemen

I agree with your sentiment, but can't get past the profile pic. Good googly moogly, Aggie, those two grey moons...

Franchise QB's make the players around them better. Brady and Brees make avg WR's look elite.

Can has put up the stats to win the past two seasons. We added pieces this offseason. He is saying that the pieces are there and that the entire team needs to get that sense if urgency to win now....not just Cam.

This team has more than enough offensive weapons. It is time for Cam to lead them to victories......which is exactly what I believe he will do this season.

Better than Gettleman tweeting it. That is nfl.com's idea of a source now.

I certainly hope Gettleman is just saying this for motivational purposes, otherwise it comes off as ill-informed.

Yes, Cam needs to start winning, but he needs a team built around him that he can win with.

Gettleman has done some great things this offseason, but he still pulled a Hurney in bargain shopping for players at positions of need instead of addressing those needs with players who can fill the void immediately - OG, S, CB, WR. True, Rome wasn't built in a day, but I think it's unfair to hold Cam accountable for a poorly constructed team as a whole.

That being said, this feels like (on paper) the best team he's ever went into camp with.

Cam had made us better.....without him we wouldn't of been in every game virtually. We haven't given him enough help.

Our weapons around him are greatly overrated. One reason is a huge chunk of that list has involved RBs making up a huge portion of the list

We have a questionable OL, 1 legit aging WR, and one of the worst secondaries on paper in the NFL heading into the season in a passing league.....he doesn't find himself in a a spot where winning is easy

But how about Jonathan Stewart (5 seasons, 35-45)?  Is it time for him to win?

 

Or D-Will (7 seasons, 50-62)? Is it time for him to win?

 

Or Ryan Kalil and Charles Johnson and Jon Beason (6 seasons, 42-54)?

 

Or Greg Hardy (3 seasons, 15-33)?

 

Or, yet again (in the minds of many), is Cam the only thing holding this team back from winning?
