Dave Gettleman's Shorts

best panthers.com fluff article predictions for this week, go:

damn bro

tired of seeing burns getting bullied and then giving up on a play

a PA from under center ?

damn that's crazy hopefully the defense still holds up

wow crazy how different the offense is w/o sanders, Ian Thomas, and zavala not like we've been saying how trash they are for weeks or anything

we'd be at least 2-3 if sanders wasn't our starter

I never want to see sanders carry the ball again. offense already looking 10x better

or they either have injury issues or gets traded/walk in free agency

prediction: our offense shows improvement this week because zavala and sanders are out but our defense gives up 5+ TD to dolphins

doesn't have a horseshoe 3 feet in his ass anymore and Legion of Boom / Beast Mode to bail him out

"hindsight is always 50/50" - cam newton but really, the huddle has called out a lot of bad moves by Fitt at the time they were being made for instance: -sam darnold trade/5th year -resigning robby/ie Andersen -resigning Ian thomas -resigning Donte jackson -not resigning Hassan reddick -trading for Stephon Gilmore and not resigning him -letting reddick and Gilmore walk trying to trade for Deshaun Watson -trading DJ moore -not trading Brian burns -dj johnson trade up -drafting long snapper

make perfect sense now why he missed that huge hole

"receivers are easier to replace than pass rushers" - Fitt after trading DJ Moore and unable to re-sign/decline trading burns

just move chinn to LB at this point. he's already 6'3 220. all he needs is 10-15 pounds to transition

they're basically the same player

it is a stretch to some degree but the similarities and patterns are there.

We all know Fit was with the Seahawks org for a long time and apart of their success during the Legion of Boom and Russell Wilson era during the 2010's. Since coming to Carolina as a GM for the Panthers in 2021, many of the moves by Fit has been trying to recreate the Seahawks and have failed miserably. 2021: Drafted Jaycee Horn to become our "Richard Sherman" along with trading for CJ Henderson and Stephon Gilmore to become our new "Legion of Boom" Move Jeremy Chinn to safety after having success as an OLB his rookie season to become our "Kam Chancellor" Even Keith Taylor was taking in the same round as Richard Sherman who both have similar builds and play style 2022: Traded future picks to move up and take Matt Corral in the third round which is the same round Russell Wilson taken in Drafted Brandon Smith, a highly athletic LB, in the 4th round similar to another highly athletic LB, KJ Wright 2023: Hired Frank Reich, a vet coach who's been in the NFL for decades and was given a second chance in the NFL similar to Pete Caroll. Traded multiple picks and DJ Moore to take Bryce Young who has the same build and play style similar to, as you guessed it, Russell Wilson The main reason the 2010's Seahawks were so good and had all the success was due to incredible drafting and finding key UFDA's and building a Super Bowl winning team while having the majority of the stars still on rookie contracts (Russell Wilson, Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas, Sam Chancellor, Bobby Wagner, KR Wright, Etc.). Fit has even mentioned drafting a QB with a rookie contract is the way to go. But so far, Fit has failed in almost every aspect of trying to recreate the Seahawks 2.0.

nicole's sneaky link

Fitt would have traded Emmitt and Irvin

don't blame her

s/o to his agent tho

remember when Bryce had to drink a lot of water to inflate his weight at the combine and couldnt perform any of the workout as a result remember when Bryce wouldn't throw at the combine because he didn't want to show off his noodle arm and hurt his draft stock remember when Bryce ace'd a test he's taken multiple time since high school

we're tanking for the 33rd pick

watch they trot sanders back out there on the next drive
