Don't look for a big move to replace Josh Norman

We run a basic zone defense that does not necessarily need great corners to function at a high rate. This is the reason why Gman offered Josh $11 million and not the $16 million he was asking for. $11 million is how much Gman thought Josh was worth. Yes this move weakens our team in the short run but with the tremendous cap savings, it sets us up very nicely for the future.

Don't get me wrong, I was disappointed we couldn't come to compromise in negotiations and figure something out. I tell you I was shocked we let Josh go. This was a brass balls move by Gman that tells everyone, I will do what is best for the long term future of my team.

We've won without Steve Smith, we've won without DeAngelo Williams, we've won without Greg Hardy, we've won without KB, and now we will win without Josh Norman.

Too many good depth addition CBs in this draft to reach for a 2nd-3rd round CB in the 1st.  Gettleman will still go best player available whether that's DLine, WR, Tackle, or Secondary.   In the 3rd-5th round look for guys like Harlan Miller, Rashard Robinson, Ryan Smith, DeAndre Elliot ( had to look him up from Colorado State : official meeting with us), Deiondre Hall, etc.  There are some great value in these guys in mid rounds.  1st 2-3 picks need to be BPA.

He isn't a first rounder on the Panthers radar. If he was selected it would be a reach over guys they like in the first round. 

 

Pipe down or you are deleted, junior. 

The hand strikes ...... And gives a flower.

Nobody has mentioned him in awhile, but isn't Charles Tillman still technically on the team and not yet retired?  I mean I imagine his ACL tear being so late in the year means he wouldn't be ready week 1, but he'd probably be good to go partway through the season, yes?

His contract was up, no longer on the roster. I would seriously doubt any interest in his services.

Not to mention that he won't realistically be ready to play until like week 8 or so given the timing of his ACL surgery.

Yo I go I feel this is the perfect time to ask, what's the teems feeling on Alexander for.Clemson? Some reports have been popping up about apparent attitude problems, so do we feel strongly about him one way or the other.

If Alexander's ego is like 10 times bigger than Norman's. If Gettleman was willing to just pull the tag off Josh and let him go then it's probably a pretty safe assumption that we will not be drafting Alexander.

I like Bene, but he got burned like toast more than a few times last year. He's talented, but there are going to be growing pains.

I'm not going to worry yet. But after witnessing Cason play corner for us, I'm not just gonna throw on the Panthers shades and think everything is going to be gravy either.

As a nickel, yeah. Totally different position with more responsibility. I don't remember many miscues on the way outside.

You do know Fuller is predicted to go in the first right? 

Actually, in the 14 mock drafts I did at fanspeak, using 8 different boards (with priority given to NFL, CBS & Draftek boards), Fuller wasn't picked once in the 1st.  He was picked 71% of the time in the 2nd and 29% of the time in the 3rd,

But for us to pick him, we'd probably have to grab him in the 1st or trade up in the 2nd, because he was only available to us at pick #62 29% of the time (4 of 14 drafts) and never available to us at #93.

Of course, that's depending on the accuracy of the boards & mocks at fanspeak, and also all the drafts I did were before the Eagles trade yesterday, so that could shake things up.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
