It's oddly consistent that analysts who complain about the OL moves, don't offer much in the way of what they should have done. I'm of the opinion that we got the best that was reasonably available taking into consideration cap space and available talent.

No dude, don't you know? They should have done MORE.

Seriously though, last year I asked people what else they would have done given the cap space we had to work with and the talent that was available to sign/draft, and no one could give me an alternative to what we put together. Not a single person. Just a bunch of bitching about "Gettleman sucks and should have signed/drafted someone better"... 

Who, dammit, who?!?!

Number of June practices Graziano attended? 

 

0

To be fair, they have a priority to other teams too.  Do you expect all these analyst to attend all the Panthers practices?  I mean, damn.  We're a small market team.  Give the man some kind of credit for at least knowing the dude was on our roster now.  Half the NFL.com analyst don't even know that.

Oh, I don't have a problem with what he says,  as long as people understand it is about as informed as an average message board topic.

when people bring up our wr core and oline as a huge weakness i cant tell they dont follow this team. our wr core upgraded astronomically we added tedd gin which had a great season 2 years ago , we got a star in kelvin benjamin , we drafted another beast 6 foot 5 wr in funchess that knows every wr position, we got a young star in corey brown that is getting better every week .

now on to the oline , our oline isnt as bad as everyone thinks. oher and martin might not be great but they are upgrades over chandler and bell.  norwell and turner had  a solid rookie year , i believe they both did not give up a sack . remmers turned our oline around and created holes for stewart last 5 games and we also drafted a hog mollie in d, williams that dident give up a sack last season

DG traded up twice in this draft to get other players at other positions. He said himself we were going for the LT Humphries who got picked by the Cardinals one spot ahead of us. He must firmly believe Oher can play. If he fails, it's squarely on DG.

At least you're offering something. How far up should DG have traded to get LT Humphries? And of course if Oher fails, it's on DG; that's his job to take responsibility for the talent on the roster. I think he's done pretty good so far.

Hes done very well.  And while every analyst destroys the lack of offensive lineman we've had the past well two years.  Did he upgrade over Bell?  Sure, but was it an upgrade from absolutely horrible to good?  fug no, it went from absolutely horrible to bad.

Every single team has people talking about unproven players that they are optimistic about in the offseason.  The same argument you made in support of Remmers was probably said about Nate Chandler last year.  He had a good finish in 2013.  I think people were saying PFF has positive grades on him.  In this league, everyone on the outside is going to doubt you until you indisputably prove yourself.  If you are not a sure thing, people are gonna point that out.  And even when you do start playing well, it takes awhile for people to notice.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Basbear · Posted

      Brother re-check that guarantee...my page shows 30mill.....thats means he's staying in my book for at least til the end of 2026.  Im going to be my normal honest self, besides watching like half of the SB, I didn't know the guy. My guess is Panthers have a "planned model of paying players" and they almost had to spend a chunk of space on a DLman after Dbrown injury season gave them a nightmare out-come of worst D in NFL scoring. Once Milton got above Dbrown payments, they went with the plan B. A player whom the "co-GM" put his name with. Brad said turk would not be a problem off-field and leader, which the Panthers need badly. I dug in with the google-fu, I found out  I also found him playing lots of NT, which was shocking given the small frame. He seems ready for a bigger role and had a great SB too. IDK, I feel Dan Morgan was dead set on not going into this season without more DL depth and its there. The real deal is this, nearly all FA take one year to "adjust". I think turk is trying too hard and causing injuries as a result for his contract. Dbrown called turk "strong as hell" and I know for a fact Dbrowns has insane core and strength numbers. They lift together with the 50 LB difference...... you always lift with a guy who's similar in strength cause you can leave on the 8 wheels, let the other guy lift while you rest and go after him.  I do wish he had a better beginning to his panther career, 3 games for him to do so and it would cover up the low points if he made a few plays.... Again it felt like they almost had to make move/spend $$$ and Morgan was going to have DL depth this season no matter what...My best guess.

      If you can only fire ONE person before 2026....

      There's a reason DC wasn't getting calls to be a HC. He wasn't ready. His indecisiveness is infuriating. His lack of awareness is mystifying. He jumped at the chance to grab the David Tepper retirement plan and who can really blame him. Maybe with time he can grow into the job. But we're on year 8 of our 7 year rebuild. I think I'm gonna need a hip replacement before we get a decent HC.
