We all know how horrible this team has been for the past few years due to hurney/fox.. however I am still very excited about what gettleman will do when he gets rid of rivera and the useless talent on the team and truly makes it his team.. I know it's sad the future is the only thing I have to look forwards to but hey at least it's not hurney anymore.

Teams going backwards. Team has not improved. Secondary sucks, and that secondary is injured. Core group of guys just aren't worth building around. Cam looks really bad. Front 7 not doing much. Rivera is on borrowed time so we have a new system coming in. I have zero faith that JR can make a smart hire.

I think he gets a new HC that wants to play old school football......and neither will believe Newton fits that mold. Which he doesn't

Which is why I am not a Gettlemen fan. Cam is a special kid. He needs the right coach to potential tap into all he offers though

He's an athlete and a running quarterback. It is what it is. He was pretty damn impressive his first two seasons. Let Cam be Cam. He will never be a Peyton or a Brees. Let him run wild

I want to see a respectable O-line, a legit #2WR and competent CBs. 

 

In regards to coaching, a OC that will cater to Cam and the offense's strength is ideal.

 

I have faith in Gettleman to address this, though I'm a bit worried about his seemingly "old school" mentality.

I'm with you on this. That's why I didn't place blame on Shula last week. 

 

Cam doesn't fit Gettle philosophy, but he'll never get JR's blessing to deal Cam, so we'll see more of the same, even with a new coach, leaving Cam to eventually leave Charlotte on a sour note.

that would be so depressing

Well I never understood the DG hype....

No NFL team would even interview the guy....we hire him and suddenly he is crowned the answer to all of our problems.

He believes in playing football the old fashioned way. The sole reason I was against DG is I felt Cam needed a FO all in on him. DG wouldn't even help Cam with a decent OL during Rivera's do or die season

Valid points against gettle, but I think the man has a chip on his shoulder and wants to prove that he can be a good GM.. I hope.

The big thing is...we do have talent on this team....I mean come on Jake took us to a superbowl.....Jake is given much love from the carolina family...but he was not a good QB not even sure he was an average QB...granted we have a good RBs too..but williams is decent and tolbert is great for short yardage which for some reason we have not really used...we have  a decent front 7, a great TE, a good QB that could be great, smitty and a few other avg position players....and a great kicker....reminds of Kasey a little....We should be able to compete with this team and win....something needs to change now and fast....or this season will be lost....

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
