If it makes you feel better. Was Keek playing in Atlanta?

Feel free to ignore anything that pokes holes in your anti-Gettis agenda, you know, like the whole entirety of my last post, lol.

 

there is no anti-gettis agenda. i wanted him to succeed, he didn't but not because of the conspiracy that you are saying.

Sarcasm, making fun of poster's saying the only way to loose your job is to cost the team games. Edwards two key plays were clutch plays that directly lead to winning those two games... Hence he not only hasn't lost two games but he's directly responsible for winning two means he has a lead with Rivera because he's a Prohel and Rivera players. lol 

 

 

With that said, Lafell hasn't shown a whole lot and is the #2 and Hixon is always hurt, Ginn Jr. is a ST player and Edwards is the work hard slot guy that's more shifty and quick then fast. Gettis couldn't beat that group out because he looked that damn bad in practice and camp. 

 

 

That should tell you something right there.... 

 

Exactly so having more option at WR would have been a smart move no matter who the 6th Wr is.

As much as I liked him, this is kind of a relief. Tired of posters and fans in general hanging their hearts on players cause of their names/memories. Want people who can produce right now, tired of waiting for injured players to heal and projects to figure it the fug out.

 

Are you serious you think Gettis is the only player this happens for??

 

 

How long have you've been a Panther/football fans??

 

This will never end. There will always be a player that some in the fan base thinks got shafted.

Where have I mentioned a conspiracy? You use that term to just write off any logical explanation presented as to why he wasn't given the opportunities under Rivera.

This thread is full of names of players that many here have questioned as to why they have their spot unchallenged. And looking st Rivera's history here, forgive me if I don't wholeheartedly buy into what he has been selling. As far as coaches go, he has done some extremely stupid things that in all of my years of following and watching football, I have never seen a coach do. So, I question his decisions.

It is entirely possible that Rivera just did not care for Gettis personality-wise. Do I know that? NO. But, based on what we've seen from all the other WRs on the roster, I am convinced this wasn't a football decision alone. Then again, with Rivera as coach, I wouldn't trust his"football decisions" anyway. So I guess this argument is pointless.

I also have to agree with Proudiddy.

 

Based on stories before TC by beat writers it seem like Gettis not being here was a forgone conclusion.

 

Then Hixon missed most of TC and Armanti plays in 1 preseason games and they both make the team.

 

While Gettis makes it thru TC and Plays 3 preseason game (being the leading WR) and he still gets cut???

 

Really??

I think with the huge question marks at WR position behind Smitty and Lafell. Hixon (health risk) Edwards (still not proven he can be a WR in actually game time) and Ginn (questionable hands). I thought having 6 Wr would have been a better move then 6 Cb.

You mean the same Ginn that repeatedly ran the wrong route with Derek Anderson in preseason game two?

That's it! Ginn is a slacker! A dummy! Stupid paperweight that doesn't know the playbook! We all know it! We saw it! Screenshot it! Cut him!

We don't need him anyway, we have Hixon with his history of Iron Man-esque indestructability and lengthy all-pro resume, and who could forget Armanti "best WR you've never heard of" Edwards. Those guys are the second coming of the greatest show on turf and Rivera knows it... he surely is completely unhuman and incapable of judging individuals based off of their personality and disliking them for non-football reasons. Ha! He's our coach, he couldn't ever be unjustly biased towards any players or play favorites! Inconceivable!

Ginn hasn't been in this offense for two years, and if you look back at my comments after that game I was VERY adamant that if he couldn't run his routes he had no business being on the field.

Personality and locker room play into the players that get cut as well, also all coaches have guys they like. Prohel might not have liked the work that Gettis put in, maybe Gettleman didn't think he was doing enough to keep a spot away from Hixon. Maybe just maybe, Gettis looked bad enough in practices and camp that his pre season game film against 3rd stringers wasn't enough to keep a spot on the team for him since Edwards was showing so much promise.

 

Also Ginn running wrong routes after a few months isn't no way near as bad as not lining up correctly in your third season in the same offense.... 

 

 

The decision likely came down to who Prohel liked and wanted to stick with the team and Prohel likes Edwards.. Position coaches have a large say in who get's drafted and stays on the team at said position.

Proudiddy we will truly have a answer to the "Rivera Favoritism towards certain Players" question in the Seattle game.

 

If Josh Norman (who we all can agreed has earned a starting job) is not 1 of the starting CB.

 

Special with Drayton being cut. Norman should be the number 1 Cb based on TC and Preseason performance. If he is not then Rivera is putting his emotion over team success.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.

      I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch

      What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
