Gettleman: Norwell and Turner are man beasts of destruction and mayhem

Well, not his exact words, but close enough...

"In a conversation with BBR on Monday, when asked which Panthers have flown under the radar, general manager Dave Gettleman said:

“Andrew Norwell has had a hell of a summer and so has Trai. Those are two young guys who are going to be really good players.”

Lots more good info here including some promising comments on a couple of draft picks:

It's completely unbelievable what Gettleman has done with the offensive line. After 2013 our only o-lineman that is deserving of being a starter in this league was Kalil. Now just a year later we have 2 extremely good guards who are young, 2 young solid starters at RT, and a veteran LT who has struggled but looks to have success in the right situation here. I can't believe I'm saying this, but our offensive line is a strength. Just 1 year after being possibly the worst in the history of the league.

Wait, I thought he didn't know squat about offensive linemen?  That's what you heard repeatedly on here last year.  Now he ignores the rest of the offense too?  I'm confused.  So let me get this straight, as a fan, I'm suppose to know more about talent evaluation and system needs of football players than the guy getting paid to fix 20 years of shity management and bad drafting in less than 3 years when said guy told us all from the get go that it would take 3 years to fix?

Hell, I've been doing it all wrong then!  Sign all the pro bowlers damn it!

That was last year; get with the times. This year he doesn't know anything about WR's. Sheesh.

People need a reason to b--ch and whine.

It rotates so if one thing gets fixed, they move on to something else.

Too bad we aren't surrounding Cam with offensive talent while he's in his prime.

 

NO LINEMEN DON'T COUNT BECAUSE THEY AREN'T FLASHY SKILL PLAYERS!!!!!

Apparently first and second round receivers don't count either because...reasons.

I guess if they get injured it means you never actually drafted them.

I thought we were good at WR until injuries took hold.

No KB and no Funch has really put us in a bind.

I know you can't just sellout for one year, but I still think that more can be done.  I think more will be done.  It's just hard to sit and wait with no idea what they plan on doing.

i keep coming back here hoping for some juicy insight but it's dry as a bone around here.

I admittedly thought he mishandled the LT position.  I have been thrilled with the LG through RT decisions.  LT was my biggest worry.  Hopefully Oher can continue his strong play when the real bullets start flying.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
