Hoping Gettleman trades for a corner? Well, he can't.

He's admitted his wrongs before.  If he can help the team by signing any player, he would.  And quite honestly, it's the fans that are mad our expectations haven't been met.  Getts and Ron could have fully expected these growing pains from the secondary, and thus are prepared to stand pat and let them develop.

Well, that doesn't quite jibe with what he said as far as staying up at night, pondering whether he has given Ron good enough tools to win this year.

Just in case anyone is still hoping for the Panthers to trade for a decent corner, he can't. 

Trading for a corner now would not only confirm the huge mess he got the Panthers into, but also would prove he was far too slow in correcting the mistake. 

His only option now is to sit tight and pretend there is no problem with the talent in the secondary. 

The idea that Gettleman is acting purely out of a stubbornness to admit his mistakes or because of his ego is speculation and i dont buy it. 

We could make a trade that might help us out right now...  or.. we could just stop turning the ball over so much since no team can win losing the turnover battle like we have.  Why should we trade away more draft picks or spend more money on something that doesnt address our biggest problem?  Lets fix the big stuff before we start making moves that could have adverse effects.

Not that I think this is the answer to our woes, but wouldn't adding Charles Tillman to the roster help out with leadership in that position group? It's one of those moves he could make to help the young guys out and fans wouldn't really scoff at because Peanut is liked so well. Peanut seems to be a high-energy guy who could change the mentality of that group. They "seem" to be a very mellow group that could use a bit of personality with a solid veteran who isn't expecting to play every down.

Totally agree with that at the beginning of the season. That's what I was hoping for but bringing Peanut back now, out of retirement, smells like desperation. 

They did do the second best thing and brought him to camp for a few days.

Admitting mistakes and dealing with the backlash is better than sitting pat and wallowing in a mistake that most/all can see. No?

He has to know it is always okay to take responsibility and be accountable.

Have you seen him make a statement during the season since he has been here?

If we collapse, and we may, he will likely be in the position to do just what you are requesting the first week of January.

Wait...

So you agree with CPantherKing that this whole deal is all about Gettleman's "pride"?

If that dumbass is trading for anything it better be for a damn tackle.

 

Boy, wasting a 4th on a punter sure looks dumb now hey...? Shocker...

On the surface it does seem silly. But, in his defense there was some logic to it. Firstly, we needed a punter and I think everyone will agree that Andy Lee has been one of the few bright spots this season. Secondly, because of Josh Norman leaving for the Skins, we should receive a high compensation pick in 2017...probably no lower than a 3rd rounder. He probably reasoned two 3rd round picks are better than (1) 3rd and (1) 4th.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
