Rivera says Cam wasn't consulted in WR moves

[CarolinaCoolin]

Like they said Steve McNair could?

They're not infallible any more than our guys are.

They went to the playoffs with him and got a bye.

[PantherFeez]

Brady was surprised and disappointed that the Pats let Welker go. He then proceeded to put on his big boy pants and lead his team to the playoffs....again..just like Cam will.

I swear some of you think that an NFL franchise is more like a soap opera or sorority than a business.

Our WR corp was brutal last season.   Our #1 WR was a #3 WR on a lot of other teams.    Lafell , in key situations,  dropped the ball nearly every time it seemed.  Ginn was a ray of light but,  where he will be missed the most is on return duty,  not because of his skills at WR.

 

While no fault of his own,  SS89 led up one of the worst WR groups in the league.

 

 

Having a bunch of new cogs in the system and some unknowns, it will not be worse than we had last season.

 

 

As far as Cam..   he's a player..  for a franchise that has given him the opportunity to be one of the best in NFL history over his first three years (stat wise).   Since he is averaging over 4,400 total yards and 30 TDs a year.          Getting a new WR corp in an attempt to improve it.  Will benefit Cam.

It's like the old saying goes, "it's not what you do but how you do it".  Everyone thinks because people have opinions on Smitty dismissal is the problem, that isn't it.  It's the way it was handled.  Had Gettleman went into the offseason saying that it was time for a change and let it be known to Smitty himself then it would different.  

 

I guess if he had handled it differenlty, the situation wouldn't been good for t.v.  Me personally I don't care who the receivers are as long as the product on the field is good.  I just think a player that lead the franchise deserves better.  I think a company man should be treated as such, but I guess I am just the old school type of guy.

People act like we dropped an AJ Green or Julio Jones type receiver. Someone that got drafted the same year as Cam, that he has great chemistry with and puts up 1400 yards every year. We all love Smitty, but let's all be honest with ourselves that at this stage of his career Smitty was just another guy. LaFell was meh at best and Ginn was a first round bust that did well for us in a few highlights, but also dropped multiple sure touchdown bombs as well.

They are going to sign Cam to a massive contract, and when they do they'll have the cap flexibility to also sign some weapons for him long term for a sustained success.

How this concept continues to elude so many is truly baffling.

Someday you may accidentally post something that makes sense.

you mean something you can understand? doubtful. 

 

there you go.

Thanks for proving my point :lol:

oh I see cam caught his own passes. He was statwise one of the best but his wr one of the worst.Something doesn't add up.

Didn't the stats say that our WRs caught around 10 passes a game,  combined?             That kind of production will not be difficult to replace.   If you can honestly look at what we fielded last year and say out loud "Our WR corp wasn't a weakness last year",  then I don't know what to tell you.

It's not good business when it creates this much of shitstorm.

I don't see any poo storm other than here on the huddle. And mist of y'all don't know your head from your ass.

[teeray]

I do believe he's that type of guy, but at the same time this organization(and this isn't on Gettleman, YET)hasn't proven that they are capable of building around him. Now you have a new GM in Gettleman who released Steve Smith, failed to retain Ginn, and failed to sign a young WR in Nicks. And also has failed to bring in quality offensive line talent. He values Greg Hardy over those moves that could have been made so it has to work for him.

The offseason should be about improvement and there's no doubt that as of right now this offense is worse than it was at this point last year. I heard the main priority this offseason was to surround Cam with talent, has that happened? Regardless of what the calendar says, it's going to be hard to do going forward.

If I'm Cam I'm not too confident right now, especially since it appears he doesn't know what's going on. That's why I believe he should at least be briefed on what the plan is going forward

6-10

7-9

12-4

How have they not proven they can build around him?

[tiger7_88]

Lord have mercy.

As far as I know, Tom Brady isn't asked for his personnel expertise in New England. Ray Lewis wasn't asked for his input in Baltimore. Pretty sure Peyton Manning wasn't consulted in Indy (he may in Denver now, but I detect the reek of desperation up there at this point). Brett Favre's scouting acumen was not taken advantage of in Green Bay. Pretty sure Philip Rivers, Andy Dalton, Jay Cutler, Russell Wilson go home after practice rather than studying other teams film from a pro personnel perspective or college film from a scout perspective.

Damn, some of you delicate flowers are funny. :lol:

Once again:

 

The worst offense in NFL history can get worse

The best offense in NFL history can get better

The best defense in NFL history can get better

The worst defense in NFL history can bet worse

 

Just because we had a very, very, very bad WR core last year DOESN'T mean it is prudent to let everyone go. 1/2 of the people you guys want to replace them with couldn't even beat out those very, very, very bad WRs last season in practice.
