Why I feel like we should trust Gettleman more

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

      2024 College Football Thread

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.

      I did, but again we're aware of the practice in college of inflating height/weight as well as what is considered normal and his freshman weight tells a lot. There was a recent Raw Room episode where at one point they were discussing putting on their "big boy weight" when they go to the pros. It's common for guys to have to slap on 20lbs over the summer, but King Dunlap mentioned having to put on 30 and how much of a toll that took on his body. That makes the idea of putting on 50 at the college level even harder to believe. I've got experience with cutting weight and that type of drop sounds just awful... and that's even if doing it healthy and not just turning yourself into a piece of human jerky. Having to add 50? Noooooo thank yoooou. I can understand wanting to take Scourton at face value, but we didn't take Bryce at face value either (and for good reason!). Give the recently posted videos a shot. I watched the one you linked even though I've already seen it, so why not extend the same courtesy? I think you'll find yourself getting more excited about his Purdue tape than you will being irritated by what you believe are false narratives being pushed. 😄
