Caught it on the ride in to work...

 

Spoke about having faith in Chandler and Bell.. Said young guys need time to develop and prove themselves..Has faith that they will. 

 

Spoke about Chandler's work ethic. Worked with Jackie Slater (former nfl RT) the past 2 offseasons and has done everything they have asked of him. Said a Tackle needs 5k reps in practice/games to develop and he's getting close to that.

 

Does not think the team is taking a step back(he says this every time)..Goal is to win the division,and then get to the promised land.

 

Made it clear the Steve Smith decision was more of an on the field decline vs being a locker room cancer.

He was specifically asked if his presence in the locker room and his response was...it was purely a football decision and he wishes him luck in B-more.

 

On his faith in the new receiving core...Said well its a very different group, starting with the big rookie.. Then he mentioned Cotchery as another legitimate redzone threat(alluded to his 10 TD's last year).Said Cotchery and Avant are just very smart football players. 

 

Underwood is a vertical threat, different speed then Ginn. Said Ginn is 0-60 in.05 seconds where Underwood builds up to it and once he does he can blow the top off a defense.

 

Mentioned the young guns again and the biggest problem they have is making sure everyone gets a fair share of reps so everyone can be properly evaluated.

 

Said Benjaimin has "A+" hands. Said you need to be patient with him as he is a rookie but his got some unique talents that can help him.

 

Marqise Lee- was rated side by side with Benjamin on the board, size won.

Forgot to add a few things...... he was asked about why he didn't address offensive tackle in free agency or the draft.

 

Couldn't afford a Tackle in free agency..no where near enough cap space. Reiterated that no tackle in the draft would have been more ready to go immediately than Bell/Chandler

 

Was asked about his favorite part of being GM of the panthers.. Said the cliffnotes version is winning. Long story of it is he is a teacher a heart(pronounces heart like "hot")..and loves teaching guys things he's learned.

 

Totally tunes out media/fans when making decisions. He gathers info from Beane,Gregory,Rivera/Rob Rogers and after digesting that info goes with his gut on the right decisions to make.

Is Cotchery actually a red zone threat? I was always under the impression his 10 TDs last year were a fluke, not the result of any particular skill he has. Can anyone comment on this? I didn't exactly watch many PITTSBURGH STILLERZ games last year so I don't know him that well.

Mac kinda fumbled the interview. I don't know it feels like he misuses his rare opportunities with Panthers front office guys. The only thing I learned was the difference between Ginn and Underwood.

 

When Mac asked if the Panthers are intentionally taking a step back to build for the future Gettleman answered "absolutely not". Any football fan that follows the team and understands how the NFL works already knew that. Asking if the Panthers are taking a step back intentionally is like those guys that think we are going to a 3-4 defense every time we draft a linebacker. We draft Beason..."3-4!", we draft Connor "3-4!", Luke "3-4!", Klein "3-4!". It's the same people that think we are tanking the offense to lower Cam's 2nd contract.

 

These interviews are our communication line with Dave and I hate we waste precious questions placating the mouth breathing conspiracy theorists. And of course Mac got in his question about Marqise Lee. Mac brought up "whispers" that Steve was a bad guy in the locker room. Just another throw away question. Dave isn't a rookie anymore.

I see your point?..Stop gossiping, and ask real football questions. 

 

However, I wonder if the Mac Attack, and WFNZ on a whole, feels the Panther fans are Real/Knowledgeable Football fans to begin with (unless it's them)!?

Listening to WFNZ interviews is like being on a deserted island and fapping to nude photos of Rosie O'Donnel that washed ashore in a storm. The only reason you use them to fap is because there is some semblance of tits and ass. You can fap without them sure, but just the site of a nip helps. Mac's interviews = Rosie O'Donnel nip. I'm so hard up for any Panther news that I will listen.

He's a decently tall vet(6'1) that knows how to get open in tight spaces.

How is catching 10 TD passes a fluke? They used him as a possession receiver and he made the catches. Cotchery was never a super speedy receiver, but he broke Tory Holt's records at NC State for career 100 yd. games and receptions. You can bet he'll contribute this season.

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that would could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch him.  If he regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.

      He did himself more harm than good by engaging in this ridiculous legal battle. One it brought to light how much gambling he was actually doing and two it made him a very unlikable figure from a public perspective because he was challenging the perceived sanctity (lol) of college sports. Then to make things worse his lawyers convinced a very stupid and very gullible old boomer judge to agree with him. Now he’s a lightning rod entering the league and that’s not a good place to be.
