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?!?!

I've repeatedly asked that question right here in this forum.

The inevitable answer you get is that its NOT THEIR JOB to come up with the answer, but they know that the answer just HAD to be different than the answer Gettledouche came up with!

As I said earlier, Humphries was one pick ahead of us so at that point I doubt it would have cost us a lot to go get him. Of course the Cards may not have wanted to do a trade anyways. 

This isn't a DG critique, it's merely answering the question of what else could he have done. Last year he said Bell was left handed, hopefully Oher doesn't turn out like Bell. 

It took adding our 3rd round pick to our 2nd rounder to move up to get St. Louis's pick to take Funchess.

Moving up in the 1st round is never cheap.  Not even to move up one spot.  So I imagine it would have taken at LEAST our 3rd rounder and maybe another pick in the lower round to move up to select Humphries.

So that would have meant missing out on Funchess.

Which group do you think would have a greater impact on the performance of the Panthers in 2015?  OT D.J. Humphries/WR Tyler Lockett/RB Javorius Allen (Lockett and Allen were "available" choices at our original positions in the 2nd and 4th rounds)?  Or LB Shaq Thompson/WR Devin Funchess/OT Daryl Williams?

When it comes to quality and BPA, I know which group I'd choose.

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.

      At least we have Mike Kay and his little buddy sidekick whoever to put you to sleep when suffering from insomnia. They're all useless unfortunately.
