I dont think KK will resign here. I think Gettleman turned him off especially if we continue to lose. Either Gettle really overpay KK or KK will go else where

Without KK, our defensive line is beyond mediocre. So much for hogmollies

If our GM wasn't arrogant, he would have at least let Norman play a year under the franchise tag so we wouldn't be left with 2 rookie corners and no pass rush.

Let is go. Gettlemagic thought he was such a genius drafter that he can replace all pro players with rookies and suffer no drop off.

 I highly doubt that's what Gettleman thought, and I highly doubt his 'arrogance' played into it, that's just something easy for people to point their fingers at when they don't really understand the process.

I don't know what else to call it. This isn't the only time he does something like this. 

He lets Norman go for no reason and replaces him with rookies. 

He lets smitty go for no reason and replaces him with a rookie. 

He lets deangolo go for no reason and replaces him with a rookie 

And each one of those vets had productive years left and no clear replacement on the roster. It's a pattern. He thinks he is a genius who can draft and replace high level talent year after year.

It is arrogance. He think he can cut corners and get the same production. He knew for sure 2nd-5th round DB picks could replace Josh Norman. He went into season thinking OT's were good enough in 2014 and 2016

If you think not having Norman is the cause of us getting blown out, you are sadly mistaken

Even if this is true, and I believe it mostly is. If u fail keep this best corner in the game, and then u brush it off like it's no biggie... you deserve a tad bit a critcism.

I think not having Norman, Tillman, Weddle, and Coleman at FS (he sucks at SS) while not drafting DEs to pair with KK and Star is the cause. I believe Butler and 3 CBs while not making any moves in free agency was a big mistake.

You are sadly ill informed if you can't connect the dots between this blowout and the pass defense debacle happening this year. Josh Norman is the centerpiece.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      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.
