Is Gettleman still "the man"?

Last year we had a weak WR core and we were fine. 

2013 we had a weak secondary and we were fine. 

Three places you can't have weaknesses. 

QB. OLINE. DLINE.

QB is fine. I think Oline is fine ( when we're not playing a dominant  D) pass rush concerns me. If Kony and company don't step up Gettlemen has a lot to answer for.

To be fair to Gettleman, Josh Norman forced his hand. If he wanted to play for the panthers this year he would have signed the tag.

We'll still be 1-2 with Norman. Norman isn't the reason Gano can't hit anything >= 50 yards. Norman isn't reason Ron won't move on from Shula

This is not one of the more talented teams we've had over the years, so it's bizarre given we have Cam in his prime right now. You would think we would load up to win now, but instead we dumped our most talented defensive player, and hoarded money under the cap. Why? We have a young and healthy Cam right now. Good knees, back, he's ready to roll now. You would think we would be all in on loading up with talent. We're not. We planning for long into the future so we'll have a good cap situation. Well Cam is getting clobbered, and that's just plain scary to watch. It doesn't have to be like that, but when your GM plays it conservative, your QB is usually at risk.

Well we spend all but 1 draft pick a year on defense and still can't Denver, Seattle, or do what the Vikings did to us to other teams.

The problem is that our offense is actually better than our defense, but everything we do is to accommodate our defense. Hence all the slow ball. We just need to air it out and don't worry about giving up points

To be fair, we did plenty of that last year. @Dallas and home vs Atlanta comes to mind, but not so far this year.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
