Why I feel like we should trust Gettleman more


Recommended Posts

So the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft is over and many Panthers fans are wondering what in the fug were doing as an organization. We didn't select a LT or a WR in the first, we took Shaq Thompson and now everyone is losing their fuggin minds. Do me a huge favor guys, look at Dave Gettleman and his past drafts he's had with Carolina and find more than 4 terrible picks I bet nobody can do it. Tyler Gaffney doesn't count since now the patriots basically stole him from us, and he got injured anyway. It is understanding that you really can't gague Gettleman's success until about 5-6 years aka long term. What I want y'all to do is look at the short term, all the players he drafted last year started or at some point they played.

I challenge those who said Benjamin was a bad pick because of his drops in college to eat crow now, okay some of you say that he still drops easy passes but find me one rookie in last years class of WR's picked after Benjamin who's stats compared. I bet you can't do it, because it was not even fugging close. Mike Evans, Odell Beckham Jr and Kelvin Benjamin were the best in no order but obj obviously killed it last season. So was there a better pick ??????? What about last season ? I'm not saying I agree with everything the man does because I thought letting Steve Smith go was a mistake, but look at last seasons draft and tell me one pick of whom there is no hope for?

So now this guy who can play Rb, LB, Safety, and possibly CB gets drafted a tremendous athlete and now y'all lose your fugging minds ? Give me a fugging break!! Who else were we gonna take at 25 ??? Did you really expect Flowers to fall in our laps ?? Wr is so deep I don't even wanna hear it. Cooper and White were out of our range because that's the fugging price you pay for winning your division and making the playoffs. Two years in a row never done before in the NFC South, when Gettleman took Kk AND Star everyone panicked OMG OMG we don't need two tackles !!! Just where in the Capital FUG are y'all at now??????

So what about the potential girlfriend killer ?? Were we gonna take that guy ? Hell no. Oh Jesus let's see uh the Cardinals took our boy humpheries too eh ? Were talking about a guy who has "size" issues for LB in the NFL. Bull shiz look at Sam Mills and any other undersized LB it don't make a Fug.. The kid can get bigger if the panthers need him to Jesus, there's this thing called a fugging weight room for Christ sakes. What about Shaq's instincts ? So the Fug what ? That can come with film study and can be coached. What can't is what we have in Shaq Thompson. He can kick return run the rock, tackle, pick off passes and cover man to man.

Of course we should! If he listened to the experts, we would have taken Morgan Moses or that USC WR over Kelvin.

Fans only know what the media can present or by what they saw on the one game viewed on CBS.

There are plenty of reasons why he does what he does

    • Carolina Panthers R1 (1): QB Bryce Young, Alabama R2 (39): WR Jonathan Mingo, Ole Miss R3 (80): EDGE DJ Johnson, Oregon R4 (114): G Chandler Zavala, NC State R5 (145): S Jammie Robinson, Florida State Day 1: Carolina moved up to No. 1 overall and secured their potential franchise quarterback. Despite concerns about his size, Young was the top QB on the PFF big board, and his 92.9 passing grade led all players at the position over the past two seasons. Day 2: Mingo was one of the biggest risers in the pre-draft process and finds himself in Carolina to team up with top pick Bryce Young. While his production in college was spotty, he has a good blend of size and athleticism to like his fit here with the Panthers. Not to mention, he flashed often on tape between unbelievable body adjustments and clean wins at the line of scrimmage. This is one of the bigger reaches so far based on the PFF big board, with Johnson coming in at 237th overall. The Panthers are taking a swing on Johnson’s athleticism on the edge (4.49-second 40-yard dash at 261 pounds). He’s a 24-year-old prospect who recorded fewer than 50 career pressures on 786 defensive snaps in college. Day 3: The Panthers have invested in improving their offensive line over the last several seasons and continue to do so with Zavala here. He played just over 1,000 snaps in the FBS but earned an 86.5 PFF pass-blocking grade last season and adds some explosiveness to the interior of their offensive line. Carolina adds another defensive back for new defensive coordinator Eviro Ejero to deploy in a deep secondary unit. Robinson’s 16.0% forced incompletion rate illustrates his playmaking ability at the catch point when targeted. He plays fast, but that sometimes results in a missed tackle, with his 7.4% missed tackle rate on the high side. DRAFT GRADE: B+  
    • CAROLINA PANTHERS R1 (6) — G Ikem Ekwonu, NC State R3 (94) — QB Matt Corral, Mississippi R4 (120) — LB Brandon Smith, Penn State R6 (189) — Edge Amare Barno, Virginia R6 (199) — T Cade Mays, Tennessee R7 (242) — CB Kalon Barnes, Baylor Day 1: The board couldn’t have fallen much better for Carolina, with all three of the top offensive tackle prospects still on the board. The Panthers opted for the top run-blocker in the class in Ekwonu. The N.C. State tackle earned PFF run-blocking grades above 85.0 in all three of his college seasons, with grades above 90.0 in each of the last two years. It’s worth noting that the Panthers didn’t trade back to add another pick or two, given that they aren’t on the clock again until the fourth round. Day 2: Corral wouldn’t have been a good pick in Round 1, but he provides value late on Day 2. Corral’s offense at Ole Miss made his projection to the NFL a little more difficult, as it was full of RPOs and simplistic reads. Despite the quarterback-friendly offense, Corral was consistently on time and delivered accurate throws while showing off an exceptional deep ball. Corral’s 2021 season took a nosedive midseason due to injury. His 91.1 PFF grade through Week 7 was the fourth-highest in the FBS, but that mark fell 20 grading points to 70.6 from Week 8 on. Day 3: Smith is an athletic project, but he’s a project well worth taking at this stage of the draft. The production profile isn’t overly impressive. Smith earned PFF grades below 60.0 in each of the last two years at Penn State. But the NFL is always going to look for 6-foot-4, 250-pound linebackers who test above the 90th percentile in the 40-yard dash, broad jump and short shuttle. Now, the Panthers just need to figure out how to use him. Draft Grade: A
