So Gettis knew the playbook his rookie year and 2nd year when he was tore his ACL, when he was gonna be the number 2 receiver but now he don't know the playbook

He was ready last year and Rivera didn't want to put him and Gettis challenged his weak ass authority and here we are now. #truth

Hey guys we haven't talked enough about what Gettis did three years ago. Let's cover it one more time.

1) John Fox's 2010 playbook was the equivalent of a highschool playbook.

 

2)He was not guaranteed to be the number 2. In fact all reports were that Lafell was having, by far, the better camp. All people who assume that Gettis was the defacto number 2 going into that year were/are doing themselves a disservice.

 

3)Your last statement is completely bullshit conjecture.

Gettis had everybody beat in 2011 until he tore his ACL, he was smokin past everyone

 

My last statement was truth. Gettis was ready. Rivera refused to let him in and they exchanged words

How do you know he was actually ready and knew the playbook and everything that was being asked of him? You don't know one does but team officials. Sure Gettis thought he was ready, but that doesn't actually mean he was.

Yea that was completely untrue. Both Gettis and LaFell struggled to start with and Gettis progressed more than LaFell the first year. Yet it is fun to make up stories to make yourself seem right.

All we need to know is that Edwards beat Gettis, Hixon and Ginn Jr. out for the 3rd WR spot. Then Hixon beat out Gettis for the legit last WR spot because Ginn Jr. is mostly going to be a returner and occasional deep threat in this offense.

I would be willing to wager based on his skill set and the fact our scheme doesn't use many WRs. Ginn could see the 3rd most snaps

We are talking about 2011 not 2010. Go back and read the threads. Everyone was pissed that Lafell was getting more number two reps than Gettis, but it was because, according to reports, that Lafell was performing better all throughout OTA's and early Training Camp, before he got hurt.

      The Athletic/Diana Russini: What I'm Hearing - "Bryce is Done in Carolina"

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I think it was less Tepper mandating it and more Tepper finally relenting and allowing it. I've always maintained that I think what caused Reich to be fired midseason was likely him going to Tepper and saying something along the lines of "Either let me play Dalton and five this team a chance to compete or just go ahead and fire me now."

      I honestly think it was a mutual, collective decision. Canales might have been hired to be the Panthers head  coach because he was the best chance to get Bryce where he needed to be to succeed and did everything...I mean he and Morgan did EVERYTHING possible to create a successful situation for Bryce. And it was obvious... painfully obvious that not only was it not working, the team was losing and it was effecting everything. Canales was hired because they thought he could help Bryce, but he was hired as the PANTHERS head coach, not Bryce's personal coach. If everyone could see this was failing far beyond what anyone could have and it didn't look like it was anything that could be fixed quickly....then that everyone who could see would have to include Canales himself who is responsible for not just Bryce, but the whole damn team has to have looked at what it was doing to the team and their chances to win and said, we have to choose what is best for Bryce or the Panthers. He came in and said he had no personal attachment to any player, and that means he has no personal attachment to Bryce. He's going to do what is best to help the team win. If that means benching Bryce, then that's what he's going to do. Did he make this call without Teppers blessing or input? Hell no. Did they come into the Monday meeting having both come to the same conclusion regarding Bryce? I would have a hard time arguing that wasn't the case. All in leadership has to have seen it wasn't just not working...it was killing the team and they had to make this switch for the betterment of the team soon or else lose the season completely. No way would Canales had bern campaigning for Bryce to stay in there. He's not that dumb. Sometimes regardless of the work you do, you have to realize when it's futile and the earlier you recognize it, the better off you will be.
