Why Gettleman is a GM... and you aren't.

By season's end - when injuries starting making Rivera's depth chart decisions for him - yes we were.

And finishing strong does a lot for a team.

 

 

I am still worried about the bolded...I'm pretty much fine with Gman, it's Rivera's dumb ass we have to worry about.

 

Bersin being the primary target in a playoff game is holding us back tremendously. Bersin is option #1 and Dickson is option #2? Come on man Cam deserves better than that.

:cam2:

I don't care about what the "majority" wanted and neither should a gm of any team or any businessman for that matter.

Surely i wouldn't want to fit in with the majority..otherwise i'd be a cowboys fan...

 

and no thank you.

 

 

So that's a no....you're gonna lump everyone with questions in with the few who had irrational expectations. Have fun with that.

Uh huh :rolleyes:

Face it, dude. We're in a way better spot than we have been in our team history since Gettleman took over.

Whine and bitch to your heart's content if that's what makes you happy, but you're off base.

Because of

Cam

Luke

Olsen

CJ

TD

Quick what do all those guys have in common? Gettleman inherited a damn good base of football players. Up until last year you could include Hardy in there as well. Gettleman gets all the praise while Hurney's guys make all the plays. How many GMs are handed a franchise QB and a future Hall of Fame middle linebacker? But yet he spent an entire offseason and walked away with the bright idea that Bell was the best option at LT. Tragic

I admit that thought's crossed my mind too.

I'm fairly confident we'll have a better, deeper roster than last year by the time the season rolls around. Having that better roster would (hopefully) minimize depth chart mistakes.

And of course, the sad flipside is that what injury giveth, injury can taketh away :(

My point was that a gm shouldn't listen to what fans want. Once again we got a cap to worry about.  I don't mind signing a mid tier wr or cb as long as we are not overpaying for him. And generally teams tend to do that the first few days of free agency.  Patience is a virtue.

Save the "we won the division" debate for Bucs, Falcons, and Saints fans. We won the division only because league rules says somebody has to

 

If we don't make the playoffs last year....let's say the Bengals kicker makes the gimmie he misses and Atlanta gets in instead of us...there's a chance that Rivera is going into the season with the hottest seat of all NFL coaches. 

 

I'm not complaining but the Panthers were very, very lucky last year. They need to improve and they haven't. Meanwhile the Seahags get Jimmy Graham.

You really wanna appeal to defending Hurney :lol:

(see, this is where you clearly show you've lost the argument)

When was the first time that core of players helped the Panthers make the playoffs?

Or, to put it another way, what GM built the roster on which they did?

Making the playoffs last year did more harm than good

Dave could have reached for for a LT in the draft and we wouldn't have kelvin. Sure could have went after a free agent LT but who was there last year? Most likely we would have had to overspend for them and considering our Cap was less than it was this year i highly doubt we could aford them.  A mid tier LT would have been fine. But chances are some other team overspent for them

If we hit on 5 picks again we'll be well on our way to SF/Seattle type depth. (SF from a few years ago...)

We were competitive when Hurney got fired. The first two years with Cam we were always in games and should have won many of them. We went 12-4 because of Riverboat, and then last year we were getting blown out and went on a run BECAUSE OUR SCHEDULE GOT EASIER. Not because the magical rookies, we played the fuging Browns and Falcolns down the stretch.

There have been numerous quality signings at value rates already. Obviously the huge deals are going to be pointed out more, but the values are there.

There is no way you're telling me a GM making millions of dollars couldn't find an upgrade over Bell last year. He was horrible at RT and they put him on the left. Come on man

Right. Everything worked in our favor despite the 'joke' GM. He's just lucky.

Good Lord :rolleyes:

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      TAMU had such a weird draft. Usually you'd be bragging your ass off about three DL drafted in the top two rounds except that the narrative around all three was about how badly they were misused by TAMU. LOL

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By Icege · Posted

      Many Panthers fans are already excited about second-round selection Nic Scourton for a variety of reasons including but not limited to: the Panthers needed to recharge the position group, Scourton had a late first-round grade according to many (including the Panthers), and he fit this season's modus operandi of stopping the run now and forever. However, Scourton was seen early on as one of the top-3 EDGE guys in this class but fell due to not having quite the season at Texas A&M as he did prior at Purdue (his sophomore season). It's been revealed since then a few different things that speak to that dip in production... Texas A&M, for one, requires each player on their line to be able to hold two gaps. This also explains why we saw low production across the board from the other two TA&M prospects but were still being heavily touted. Scourton was also said to have bulked up to 280lbs in order to fulfill this role and noticeably suffered from it. He's expected to play this season with Carolina at 255 - 260 which is very different from most situations. In most situations, teams are wanting players to gain 15 - 30. Since Scourton is going to be playing at his Purdue weight, I thought it would make sense to dive more into that tape. Y'all... we might have gotten something special... Let's take a quick peek at the stats before we start drooling over some highlights. First, a summary of the last two seasons for Scourton: Second, the game splits: The first thing that pops up for me is how Scourton's sack numbers were cut in half his senior year. We've already pointed out issues with scheme that impacted the TA&M linemen from racking up numbers, but seeing the game splits it's clear that Scourton didn't exactly feast on inferior competition while at Purdue. He had two two-sack games (vs. Michigan (2023 - 2024 champs), Indiana) and a 10-tackle game (vs. Nebraska). I also see the 2024 games where he went up against two top-10 tackles (Will Campbell from LSU + Armand Membou from Missouri) that I watched leading up to the draft.  For those who just want a summary: Scourton looked elite at Purdue and is going to be rotating in often during his rookie campaign. I originally had him penciled in as the second-string, strong-side edge defender behind Clowney but I wouldn't be surprised to see the team have him and Pat Jones II moving around when they rotate in in order to find where Nic looks best. Here's a highlight reel to replace that Cialias you lost in your recliner tonight:   For those that want a little more: Below I'll be linking the linking the five games I've mentioned above. If you plan to watch all of them, I highly recommend going in the order listed as that will allow you to see him vs. Campbell and then Membou while dealing with the aforementioned things he dealt with at Texas A&M before seeing him look unstoppable in 2023 when he was allowed to play both at a comfortable weight and in a scheme that didn't require him two cover two gaps nearly every play. vs. Will Campbell (2024) vs. Armand Membou (2024) vs. Nebraska (2023) vs. Michigan (2023)   vs. Indiana (2023)

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      Yea, i honestly think he had almost as much say as Dan.  One of the main reasons I think that is Eager has said before he was ever with the Panthers, that you trade away picks for a qb and for any other position you do pick swaps, and that's exactly what we did.
