Dave Gettleman's Shorts

From what I remember it was for 2 future 1sts and an upcoming 2nd. For a non QB, that's a haul of an offer, if true. The problem is once we declined it, we lost any leverage with Burns to not make him a top paid edge rusher. As good as he was last year, he has never been a complete edge player. He has always been susceptible vs the run as we saw over and over. 

The picks may not have been top 10, but 1st rounders are valuable when you're in the middle of a rebuild, which we were, but Fitterer was in denial trying to act like we were only a player away from being a SB contender. It really is amazing how terrible of a GM he was. 

Of course, I also don't put it past McVeigh to put out a fake trade offer just to fug us over in contract negotiations because we wouldn't trade him away. 

God Fitterer's ability as GM was worse than swimming in a 3 week old construction site porta potty.

not only did Fit turn down the offer, he went public to the media bragging about turning down the massive offer and went on to glaze Burns on how good and important of a player he was.

only to drive burn's price and ego up even more

take a shot every time Dan says "man"

panthers sweep the NFC south and win the division off a 4-way tie at 6-11

They have end-of-season physicals and they're, essentially, owned by the team. Sure this could be an issue they picked up in January and he refused the surgery then, but the small print of his contract would also oblige the team not to pay him. 

I don't think we're stupid enough to let him holistically heal a neck injury, so this is almost certainly a new one. 

Joe person just reported that Wharton only just recently reported the symptoms to the medical staff a few weeks ago in April. Medical staff had no knowledge of this all offseason. Not reporting injuries in a timely manner to medical staff is a possible reason to void a contract especially in this case since it required surgery.

This is the same player that was out multiple weeks for tripping during a Friday walkthrough practice

Those 2 sacks will be hard to replace. Hope he gets better soon.

defense looked better when Wharton was out

The only primetime games I want is in January/February 

why did the reporters ask Canales if Brazzell reminds him of Robby(ie) "Chosen" Andersen if Canales never coached Robby(ie) "Chosen" Andersen?

That would be a horrible trade for Chicago, XL at best is worth a 5th or 6th rounder.

our best hope is to find a team that we can sucker into thinking XL still has high potential and just needs the right offensive/WR guru as his coach 

we could prob get XL for a 3rd since we got Mingo for a 4th and XL is better than Mingo

The defensive, without a doubt, will be drastically improved this season with the FA/draft additions but I still have a feeling that Evero will still end up choking during clutch moments and 4th quarter game winning drives on defense

Scott Fitterer was so bad, man.

Fit has a total of 22 draft picks in a span of three drafts (2021-2023), only 6 are still on the team currently

From the 16, almost all of them were off the team within 1-2 seasons after being drafted

Linebacker is one of the hardest positions to adapt to in the NFL. Most don’t hit their stride until the tail end of their rookie contracts. Look no further than Devin Lloyd, highly drafted and didn’t really breakout until last season. I am on the fence about Trevin he definitely is still adapting to NFL speed. But honestly wouldn’t be surprised to see him be a solid starter next season with upside going forward. Keep in mind he’s only 23 currently, his best ball is coming up. He was insanely raw coming out of college, one positive undeniably is he has a true LB mentality he’s high energy and loves to hit you can’t teach grit.

They drafted Wallace due to his athleticism and measurements and not because of his linebacker play. I believe the initial plan with Wallace was to sit behind Shaq, Luvu, and Jewell for a few seasons and learn the defense. 

Obviously Shaq's wheels fell off, Luvu dipped, and Jewell's brain is a smoothie now

ngl this place was hilarious during the rhule/hurney/fit/reich era

at least we didn't draft a long snapper

Just now, Growl said:

I’ll toss this out again-Wallace charts pretty well actually dropping into coverage. Rotating him in situationally and signing Bobby Wagner to come in and play early downs is a nice little boon to the defense.

They can probably get by with what they have, but with the developmental nature of the draft, boosting the team in the immediate is a good idea. 

Trevin's biggest issue is lacking instincts and not being able to process the offense quickly enough and is always a step or two behind especially in the run game

Theineman or Lemon in round 1 but we still go offensive tackle in round 3/4

REMINDER - You can't fix every hole on your roster within a single draft

What's going on with Zxavian Harris, lot of places had him in the 90-100 range even with the foot surgery or higher and still hasn't been drafted. Would be an amazing undrafted pickup if he makes it out of the 7th. 

off field issues/foolery: DUI, domestic violence, etc.

Panther fans: we need another LB next to Lloyd

dan Morgan: Here, damn

Hes 6’4

what you mean lack of height?

 

I’m hearing his strength and arm length is in question but I would rather have a offensive linemen who is technically sound over and having average physical traits over a player with great physical traits and no technical skills.

there’s been plenty of offensive linemen who ended up being great that didn’t have the physical tools but were technically sound and there’s been plenty of bust that were elite physical players but were raw technically.

 

31 5/8 inch arms; arm length is nice to have but not as important for a center as opposed to offensive tackles

Brady Christensen has a 32 1/4 inch arms for reference since he's the poster meme for short arms

Can he play FS?

Can he play 20 yard off the LOS on game winning drives ?

I don’t mind the pick just don’t like trading up. It’s the third year in a row Dan has done that and each time seems unnecessary 

just a late round pick swap, one thing Dan Morgan doesn't do on draft day is trade future picks

Marty hurney would trade future 1st's and 2nd's like free candy

build the trenches

how many times last season did we not convert on 4th and 1 on offense and on the other end, give up 4th and 1 because we couldn't get any push at the LOS
