Gentlemans plans seem to assume he can....

 It's starting to seem like players or needs we may have or seem to have Gettlemen makes moves with the cockiness, confidence, or sheer true football knowledge that is superior to others in a manner where he knows he will fill positions with excellent UDFA year after year. Maybe simply from vigorous scouting he plans to acquire the best undrafted talent and expects them to contribute sooner then later. Does anyone else get this feeling from Daves moves?

I don't know about this Gentlemans fellow, but..

"I went camping with Dave Gettleman… I’m in the back of a pickup with Dave Gettleman and a live deer. Well, Gettleman, he grabs the deer by the antlers, looks at it and says, ‘I’m Dave Gettleman! Say it!’ Then he squeezes the deer in such a way that a sound comes out of its mouth — “Geeeeetlllllmmmmaaaann!” It wasn’t exactly it, but it was pretty good for a deer.”

That seems to be his MO so far...and it's worked so far. That WR we got from Tulsa could be the steal of the year.

I gotta admit, I've never heard of him. I'm gonna do some research though, his size is intriguing.

Or how about he is actually correct that we now have the ability to have consistency with that position. 

Bene: We have him until 2018

Trio Draft Picks: Until 2020 to grow together. This will be probably one starter, one nickle and a back up that we can rotate in as necessary. 

Now we have stability in: 

Dline: I have a feeling we resign Star and KK. So we have stability there for DT. We have Ealy until 2018 and if one of the other guys pan out like Delaire, Cox or Miley we have semi stability with the DE.

LB: We have Luke and Shaq locked up for a while

With this draft we have the potential to have locked in a top 5 defense for the next 4 - 5 years. 

Cocky or not Im down with his choices!!

I think you have to view this as a practical draft that will pay long term dividends. Everyone wants a sexy draft where you land big names that you see on Walterfootball but the reality is those big name drafts don't matter if the players names are bigger than their fit and the scheme and talent. 

 

If I went back and watched tape on the 2015 Panthers I'd say we were pretty damn solid except for our blown 4th quarter leads and depth at defensive line and CB. What does Gettleman do? He brings in Soliai to back up Star and drafts Butler to back up KK and give us a deep rotation that replaces an aging Dwan Edwards. At CB we lost all-pro Josh Norman and likely Peanut Tillman, that's a big hole. We still had Bene and brought in a nickel in Boykin so we needed to add talent at the position. James Bradberry is a physical, tall prospect that will take time to develop but has high upside. Worley is more likely a convert to FS but he adds depth and talent to develop. Sanchez is a ball hawk that bites too much and pays for it but makes big plays on occasion, he also isn't a good match-up outside so you ask, why draft someone who loses jumpballs? Gettleman is looking into the future when Boykin is a free agent, Sanchez is his plan at nickel and will be able to learn. Cash is horrendous in coverage but has amazing tackling and blitzing skill, watch for him to be a situational player in year 1 and learn how to cover properly. If he develops his coverage game he could be our future SS, if not it's no water under the bridge since he's an UDFA.

 

So yeah, not a boom draft that'll rear 5 Rookie All-Pro's but a draft that builds our weaknesses and allows us to compete long term.

Being that he leans on his staff so heavy before pulling the trigger automatically tells me that he knows how to make excellent decisions!

With the Butler pick, each staff member had input! Each staff member was on board! GMan strikes me as a manager that is fine with disagreement and carefully evaluates opposing viewpoints. He is the epitome of successful leadership if these things are true.

The fact that he did so much investigation into Worley and dedicated so much time into him tells me that Worley was a premeditated and planned pick! He wasn't a name drawn from a hat

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
