Live Press Conference with G-Man @ Noon

[teeray]

LOL

When have you ever seen ANY of those stats discussed anywhere. I never have.

How bout this, Shula was once again badly out coached in the playoffs. See how easy that is? No digging in charts for days to find.

:)

So we were in the playoffs? Huh? Where did we finish up in the South? I haven't really been paying attention.

BTW, drive stats are used often and discussed often with gamblers (along with other factors as well)

[GreatPoupon]

besides most of the stats everyone talks about are dumbed down for the masses... right? 

[GreatPoupon]

I should have ignored him to begin with. I could tell he was the type to argue in circles that would break down into straw man, and ad hominem.

he may have been doing this .... but i've only seen YOU doing this. look in the mirror. take a pill. whatever you need, just take it down a notch k admiral? 

[teeray]

This isnt really a perfect example because if I follow this logic all the way through, you would be saying that someone who shoots 5 free throws all year and makes all 5 of them is better than someone who scored 40 out of 50.

True. Which is why you would not use one half of football (generally around 4/ 5 possessions) to determine overall performance for a season

As someone else said, sample size also matters

[teeray]

Everyone knows that trying to draw a correlation between cause and effect is circular logic.

[teeray]

Sorry... circle logic

[Montsta]

Some of you guys are retarded on an exceptional level.

"If we don't draft all the receiverz we 8-8 on the horizon next year!"

It'll be awfully hard for Cam to get the ball to those receivers throwing off of his ass cheeks.

[bleys]

I'm not saying it's ineffective, I'm saying wr > te position. Pats have a system. They still experiencing the same success with NO TE. They don't have either one.They're once again the championship game

 

Ok you upgrade OL, teams stack the box like they've done all year, then what? We back to "receiver make sure if this pass hit your hands you catch it cause 95% of the time if you dont it'll turn into a pick". Im not saying don't upgrade our OL, but at the end of the day you can't have your QB be your biggest playmaker. He stay QB and get playmakers

 

They also have Tom freakin' Brady.  Cam isn't on that level, yet anyway; if ever.  His tools may translate success, but Tom Brady is doing things Cam may never do.  They still ran it- to your point that it's a phase.  And saying it's a phase is like saying it's something gimmicky like the Wildcat which is so very incorrect.

 

I've thought about a few different ways to address WR>TE, but really it's all pretty straight forward.  Fix the run game/pass protection, 2 TEs will in fact spread the field and since we'll run more playaction, a #28 overall prospect isn't exactly going to be pulling targets away from Ginn, Smitty, and Olsen.  So supplement a 4th option for an athletic TE that will cause even more havoc along with Olsen who all are more likely facing LBs and Ss at the end of the day.

 

Our best games this year came from an effective run game.  With the state of this franchise's cap situation this would go further for the team in the long run.  WR wasn't the biggest reason we lost games this year. 

[GreatPoupon]

cam already holds the ball too long. part of the blame is on him. i dont think we are screwed if we don't add a receiver but its going to be really important to compete. what playoff teams had worse receiving corps than the panthers? 

[FattyFatFat]

With as cap strapped as we are, a tag and trade would be a coup. Give us another 1 or 2 2's and we can get OL and weapons. Imagine 4 picks in the first 2 rounds? Work it Getty.

[CatMan72]

Sounded like G-man was trying to prepare us all for the real possibility that we might have to let Hardy walk.

 

Just like Rivera, I find G-man's candor refreshing... even when he won't answer a question he's very candid and sometimes funny about it. 

 

We're lucky to have these guys, in both Gettleman AND Rivera I trust. 

 

 

[chknwing]

btw anyone catch DG with the "It is what it is"  I am almost thrrew up.

[CatMan72]

Some of you guys are retarded on an exceptional level.

"If we don't draft all the receiverz we 8-8 on the horizon next year!"

It'll be awfully hard for Cam to get the ball to those receivers throwing off of his ass cheeks.

 

Yup, good teams are built from the front to back and up the middle... Gettleman knows this and he's looking for more Hog Mollies. It doesn't mean we're going to totally ignore the WR position, but the priority will be to get the protection squared away first.

 

It's amazing how much better a QB and his receiving corp gets when they have enough time to get open and the QB has enough time to get them the ball. 

[Creepster]

I just rewatched the presser - I really like Gettleman the more I see him.  And I think in a couple of years we will be a team that is going to be feared in the NFC for a long time to come.  I hope JR has G man under a long term contract.
