This was buried in Bill Voth's minicamp day 1 "Rapid Reactions" write up.  Apologies if this news had already been posted.  If so, I'd missed it.

GM Recovering

Dave Gettleman rarely misses an entire practice, but the Panthers' general manager had a good excuse to sit this one out. Gettleman had knee replacement surgery earlier this week. It went well, but now he has some recovery time before he can get back out to his on-field office.

 

 

Wishing Dave a speedy & full recovery.

Word is that his original knee was refusing to wear shorts while demanding to not have to move on Tuesdays, so Gettleman cut it and went with the rookie. Gotta make the tough decisions.

Pssh, the only time his knees ever see shorts is when he's putting em on and taking em off. 

Was probably a cap casualty.

I agree. I didn't want to sound like a Debbie Downer, but he needs to drop some weight. I want him around 10-15 more years

It absolutely is. A lot of doctors won't even do a knee replacement until you loose weight. A lot of knee replacements turn into gastric bypasses, and then magically the knee no longer needs replaced.

WHY DID HE WAIT THIS LONG INTO THE OFFSEASON?! CAMP STARTS IN TWO MONTHS!

Well.... it could have been a VERY VERY interesting draft had Gettleman been pumped full of antibiotics and pain killers...

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
