Wow, a Yahoo Sports article/comment section about the Panthers that didn't make me want to blow my brains out.

 

Let me go check the news to make sure there are no reports of flying pigs...

[chknwing]

inane not insane. yes there is a difference

[TheRed]

Right or wrong and regardless of circumstances, this is going to become a needless story now.

JR is not going to be happy with his GM, and Gettleman is going to have to clear this up.

[Black]

Bucky Brooks bashed the comments too.  

[Herbert The Love Bug]

I have a feeling something was taken the wrong way or out of context. But I have a major feeling of I don't care

[PantherKyle]

I agree with the article, and Gettlemans' comments.

That is exactly why I said what I said earlier, ie, this is going to be another thing in the media!

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

He actually makes a very good point...

 

The only problem with the article is that no one really knows what Gettleman meant except Gettleman. The writer is clearly speculating that Gettleman was referring to Cam... however, it's very possible that Dave was referring to the whole team when he said "it's time to start winning".

guys, think about it, if fans are upset cam is getting the blame, and news reporters are upset cam is getting the blame, how do you think the rest of the team feels when its basically their fault.  This wasnt DG taking a shot at cam, this was DG, trying to get the rest of the team to take responsibilty and elevate their game.  Its a bit of mind manipulation but should work..

Hello David Gettleman's brain, can you tell us if you are thinking of o-line help.

[xclr82xtc]

Either (and i hope) this was taken completely out of context.

 

or

 

Gettleman doesnt beleive that Cam has the leadership abilities to wins Lombardies after his youthful  abilities diminish. 

 

 

 

OR.. maybe this is a ploy to get more pressure on cam to MAKE him more "in charge"

 

i dont know but these comments sound a little personal and to me sound like they are based on something other than talent. we all know cam has talent.

[firstdayfan]

Am I the only one who took the "elephant" in the room to mean the team's record (13-19) is what is holding cam back.  Why is it that reporters and the media are saying he said that was CAM's record.

 

Gettlemen didn't say that.  He said that they need to start winning, that they have the QB of the future and he's really good but that's been overshadowed by the team's record over the last two years.  What's wrong with that???  ITS TRUE.

 

People are making this into something that it isn't.  And its idiotic.

[AceBoogie]

I'll tell you what the elephant in the room is its the damn defense. Since drafting Cam the focus has been about 70/30 building up the defense. I've never seen a team draft a qb and do so little to help him. Is Cam perfect hell no he's only played two seasons.

I think we sometimes forget how young Cam is because of what the other young qbs are "doing"

RG3-Kirk Cousins steps in and throws for more yards in a game than RG3 had all season!

Russel Wilson-was on training wheels while playing with a stellar defense.

Andrew Luck- was asked to do a lot and that team had a magical season or maybe their schedule was magic.

Colin Kaepernick- Alex Smith was having a career season behind that line and defense. Lets not forget that.

Cam Newton- horrible offensive line with a secondary that might be taking bribes.
