There is no glee in this. What some of you are not looking at is that at the end of the day, we are a less talented and lot shallower at the position of wide receiver with Gettis being cut.  The disappointment is not solely about Gettis, but the fact that we kept an older injury prone journeyman, and a project that the coach has said was a preseason superstar (finally after a couple of years), but has done nothing in the regular season since he's been a pro, but be a teacher's pet.

 

Sorry guys, when I look at our WR depth now, without Gettis it looks like a whole bunch of smoke and mirrors.

 

If our WR group was hinging on Gettis we were in bad shape regardless.

Don't want to be that guy, but this is kinda what I mean when I say that we as fans and those in the media put way too much stock in preseason games performances.

The majority of evals will happen in practice.

Doesn't mean those games are not important for evaluations, just that we think it is way more important than they actually are.

Hope we can keep him around and give it one more go next season but I think a team might scoop him up

My understanding also.

Which leads me to believe that maybe his hammy issue is Bigger than we all think. Maybe he did tweak it pre game, but it's possible that he may have torn it in practice the day before... I'm waiting on the presser for an explanation on this one

I'm not sure what receivers have been cut but maybe G-man has his eye on someone or another TE option that doesn't have an injury that can help us do what we all want to do, you know, win.

Gotta believe in the guy, he's done nothing but Great things since getting here. We're not done yet either. There's a couple of guys who made it but will likely be replaced come next Sunday when the season kicks off

That's what I'm saying. Why get all butt hurt about which guy got cut that never saw the field when we should be scouring the waiver wire looking for guys that can come in and contribute.

Yeah, you're right. I was just pulling for the guy... But you're right and I'm over it. Thanks

      Panthers need to move on from Young ASAP

      By strato · Posted

      38 seconds in tells me he is full of poo and is spinning for clicks. You know how they say in court, where if they lie once you can assume they are lying always?  To me is doing a pretty spiteful thing I think, by putting those words in someone's mouth. Unless he knows that is true. Which I doubt. An honest person would not have said that to Tepper, so he basically assaulting Canales. It is not Canales' fault that Young will not adhere to the the coaching he was obviously given. And of course I am referring to that Buffalo series and the very noticeable footwork change. Evidence that he had the opportunity to be a better player but reverted to his wonky ass 'techniques'. Because it is fuging hard not to. But that is still on Young for not getting that done. And unless he gets it done he is just a fraud. A wannabe NFL quarterback, playing at it. I mean NFL quarterbacks are kicking his ass, even the rookies.  If he works to change this steadily he may be able to get it ingrained in a couple more months. That is as optimistic as I can be for him.  Riddick though, I don't don't listen to sports talk any more except what youtube clips I like but I used to think pretty highly of him. This is pretty sad, to see this scapegoating.  I can put words into Canales mouth too: "Mr Tepper, I have a pretty good feel for working with these guys, and have had some luck with it. You know Baker pretty well. That's my work with him.  But I have to be honest, I'm not sure i can promise I can fix Bryce. He has many challenges. There are things we can do to help but so much of it is up to him. If he is willing to listen and work, I am sure we can make him a better QB. How good will be up to him."   blah blah blah blah

      My Mother visited 3 Doctors in Florida and 4 in North Carolina before anyone cared

      When dementia gripped my grandmother (and eventually took her), we each spent time with her and would try to correct her to what was reality and what wasn't. It was very tough on my Dad who she lived with for as long as they could care for her.  It seemed like she had become detached from her own timeline and would slide up and down it wildly. As my Dad said, "somedays I'm me to her, somedays I'm my Dad, somedays I'm her father, somedays I'm just the guy who works here. I tried correcting her but it just upset her. I found out that the best thing is to just not correct her and let her live out where ever and whenever she is."  And I'm not going to lie, it gets tough and eventually they leave their own timeline and it becomes unmanageable. Hold on to yourself and the ones you love through it all. Prayers for you and yours, man.
