Should have spent some $...

I thought D G had the right formula for this team, I was wrong. This season proves to me (and hopefully him), that you have to spend the dough and keep upgrading personal where needed. You also need a seasoned vet or two for the rookies to depend on for guidance.

I bought the bargain basement line when the money was not there, but to have and not to spend wisely to upgrade is wrong. Dave seems like a smart guy and after watching this shat storm on the field he sees the error in his ways.

One or two rookies mixed with vet talent (who can still play), is worth the investment. Kills me to see the Panthers in this shape and spiraling downward fast. We will see what the philosiphy will be next season......when there is actually players on the market worth signing.

Excellent. Another redundant thread with opinions that have already been discussed and points made in numerous other threads. Gotta get a little limelight I reckon.

How about not responding if this distubs you so much and let others who actually wish to have a discussion about it do so. Who the hell are you anyways to decide what any thread should be about. Only thing redundant is people like you with their smart ass comments.

It's been discussed. Repeatedly. Here. Multiple times.

So what .....you want to talk about Aleppo or the State of the Union? This is a football forum. I am not on here all day to follow every thread. I had an opinion and I wanted feedback.

I'm with you.  I had faith in Gettleman's judgement on the Norman situation at the time; even as weird as that whole scenario played out.  Hindsight has been very unkind to Gettleman (Norman best corner in football, our secondary the worst unit in football).  

It's one of those situations where, no matter how much good Gettleman might have done before, can be the one that defines him.  We will see how he goes about fixing this problem.  Will have to wait until the off-season to find out.

My best guess is that Gettleman spent a lot of time thinking about who on our team we want to resign, and i'm hoping he felt that the unused cap space from this year will allow us to do that.  We will see.

You also dont want him to just spend for the sake of spending.  Maybe there wasnt a FA out there that was either willing to come to us, a  good fit for us, or wasnt worth what he got paid elsewhere.  Patience is a virtue.

At 1-4, i'm not gonna sit here and say that we did all the right things with our spending, but saving our money for when he time is right might have been the logic.  It is fair to disagree with the decision, but maybe that helps people who dont understand the reasoning behind it.  With the cap, you have to take some chances on some positions, and we havent been very lucky.  Our schedule, missed field goals, injuries to our QB, RB, CB, and offensive line shuffling probably havent helped.  All of those things add up.  

What i will say is that we've had chances to win games that dont require us having Josh Norman in order to get it done.  We are not making a lot of the little plays we made last year, which covered a lot up.  I wish we had a DE that was more explosive off the edge and a solid CB at a fair price, but i cant name any off the top of my head that were available that i think would change our misfortune when you consider all of our missed opportunities across the board.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By fanpanther · Posted

      the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
