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

Gettleman, and possibly even Rivera do not put as much value on corners as they do on " hog mollies". Look for them to find a replacement who is already on the team, probably will draft a corner in the middle rounds, will most definitely put an emphasis on the d-line.

For those of you who think Getty is going about this Norman thing the wrong way, just look at another team who drops players and moves on... The much hated Patriots. They've been doing pretty well lately.

Hopefully a good cb prospect is there at 30 or we pick up one later in the draft,still 

wont fill the Norman void, a vet cb this late into April won't be world beaters IMO but hall may suffice, Best case scenario is to somehow get Norman back with all parties on board. Not sold on bene in the slightest

Nah. I'm just not wasting the effort.

See, what makes it easy is I don't really have to convince anyone that you're not very bright because enough people already know.

"I'm not gonna waste the effort on someone like you! Everybody thinks your bad! You're so not worth my time!"

*blows up every thread I talk about gettleman in*

 

Just ask me out already Scot you're just embarrassing yourself at this point.

I hope we bring in Cromartie on a 1 year deal and then grab Miller in the 4th. 

 

Cromartie and Bene on the edges, Miller & McClain as their backups, and Boykin as our nickle.  Seems solid to me. 

I hope this is the plan  (maybe spend a 2nd or 3rd round pick instead of a 4th) instead of hoping Young or McClain or some other "hidden gem" can cover Julio..

Dave Gettleman does not change his draft strategy because of one player or position. That is just not his way. 

He said it once again in the latest presser. I already believed it. It doesn't make speculation much fun about which position we should draft for, especially at pick 30, but I kind of like the fact that they've got a plan and are sticking to it.

Not sure if this has been stated yet, but I KNOW we are probably will not bring in another free agent this year.  If we do, we lose a 3rd round comp pick.

We lost 2 (Nortman and Valasco) and we gained 2 (Boykin and Gradkowski) before we lost Norman.  So, if we sign another free agent--probably a marginal, old player, we lose the third rounder.  So we ain't grabbin nobody.  We will address the need by drafting a cb or 2.

So we shouldn't sign a vet CB because of losing a third round comp pick for next year? We all know as soon as our corners start getting burned, people are going to be calling for G-Man's head for not signing another corner.

 

G-Man said in his presser that his job is to do what's best for the Carolina Panthers and that would be signing a vet corner.  Because right now, all we have is Boykin, a corner coming back from a broken leg, 1 practice squad corner, 1 guy who's sole purpose was special teams, which he sucked at, McClain who's decent, but not great, and most likely a rookie.  Yeah, I don't like the sound of that.  We need to sign someone.

      I believe in bryce...

      If you are an athlete or former athlete (myself?  Cornhole 2021-present; Disc Golf 2013-got a mega blister and had to retire; speed walking--every black Friday at Walmart 2003-2009) you know what it is to lose confidence.  Self-inflicted or not (in my view, a lot of 2023 was coaching and a lot of 2024 was confidence), he has confidence now. How fragile is it?  I think the light is on, the game slowed down, and he is ready to do his thing.  He seems to be "mobile in the pocket" instead of "running scared."   Last year, there were times when AT was out, Johnson gone, and all he really had was XL and Coker--a raw rookie with upside and an UDFA rookie.  TE was rarely a viable option. It reminded me of Benjamin and Funchess.   Moore had to step up.  This season, Bryce has weapons.  I expect XL to improve.  I expect TMac to help tremendously, and I think Coker will be solid.  Renfrow?  Horn?  bonuses.

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.
