"Since then, we – both media and fans – have taken that line and run with it. What we too quickly forgot was Gettleman’s next line: “I said we’re going to move up in class. I didn’t say we’re going to go out and spend big money on a player.”

So, everybody sit back and relax.

I was as critical of Gettleman as anyone last offseason and I don't see a big problem here. Last year cap space forced us to let loose many of our key players and replace them with rookies and scrubs - this year, we have all of our free agents of value back and we have fewer holes thanks to an impressive rookie class. We are improving.

Right now, we're waiting for the initial insanity of free agency to wear off so we don't overpay on players. We'll go for some mid-level free agents, we won't overpay, and we'll have a better team than last year while everyone else in our division is backsliding. There is no need for cliff-jumping.

I don't know why all these fans think a superb owl is won in free agency anyway. You use free agency for fill gaps and use the draft to build your team. I'm glad we don't go out and hand QB money to DT's.

 

Gettleman knows what the f*ck he is doing. After back to back beasty drafts and back to back NFC South titles, you would think people would STFU about Gettleman.

I have no problem with the level of players he's targeting. Oher and Ginn are exactly the sort I'd want him bringing in. Not too many of these FAs this year are going to be worth what they're getting. Last year one of the few I thought were worth what they got was out of our price range, but you have to believe we'd go for him if last year were this year-Veldaheer. This year, the only thing Gettleman is doing that's pissing me off is not giving Hardy a chance. I would understand if the market for him is just too high, but to not even talk about it is beyond ludicrous.

Yes, Ted "Unreliable hands and punt returner" Ginn, Jr. and Brenton Bersin are "moving up in class."

 

Michael Oher is better than Bell, but is he better than anyone else on the line at this point?

 

Cliff-jumping? Statements of fact are statements of fact.

We need to spend all of our money!  We needs all da FAz?!!!!

 

We haz n0 F@Z so we de worste!

 

Sorry, most of the negative folks have broken my language centers in my brain.  It's a long off season which just started.  I'll put my trust in Dave because since he's gotten here, we've gotten better.  Tell me, in Seattle's SB season, how many marque FAs did they bring in?  Bennett?  And he came super cheap I believe.

 

Trust in Dave since we're not NFL decision makers.

    • I can't tell you what other's expect from him before they will start believing in him. I think for some, they will never be able to overcome his size. I think that is the fundemental problem for them which means they will never be happy with him behind center. For others, it seems he will have to be in the top 10% in pretty much every catagory and do that all seaon for them to start believing in him. Not everyone of course. There are people on this board that, while have doubts, can still acknowledge his good plays and are willing to give him another season. Those folks I would assume just want consistency - and wins. I could be off on all the above but that's kind of how I see it. And while you didn't ask, I will say I'm glad they picked up his 5th year option. He earned it. I do not think he should be signed to a long term contract yet. I do think he will develope in a franchise QB and will get the Panthers back into the playoffs and win them but I know I could be wrong. Next year will be the big test. If the offense continues to improve and they get back to the playoffs because of the offense, it will be time to sign him long term. If it's a repeat of this year, then it's time to look elsewhere for a QB. Like I said though, I believe he can be the guy so would be surprised if he doesn't make it.   
    • Well since I am so biased, why don’t you tell us what he has to do to earn the trust of everyone that doubts him? If you say he has already done it, we really will never agree.
