I did not want to see josh go but he forced Gettleman's hand. Josh could have held out until week 12, If he wanted to be here he would have signed the tag like Greg Hardy did.

Maybe the savings will be used on KK, Turner, Norwell, etc in the future. the panthers were not playing with $60M in cap space.

If anything Gettleman  believed in his guys too much which explains why certain moves weren't made, I can't fault him for that he kept the majority of a team who were one drive away from winning the SB.

 

You're a Gettleman homer, we get it.  The proof is on the field.  Norman was about to sign it but Gettleman had an ego.  Every player tests the market, EVERY, but Gettleman thinks he shouldn't have to wait on anyone.  Just like he thinks he doesn't need to pay market value, or give one of, if not THE, best Panther ever a fair shake when letting him go.  The guy's ego has ruined this season.   Norman wouldn't have held out just like 99% of every other player in that situation hasn't.  

Maybes are fun, except when you're coming off a super bowl season and it's NOT the time to take a chance.  Keep getting excited about Gettleman saving someone else's money as if it's going to pan out.   Guess what?  Short, Turner, and Norwell are on the field right now and we're still losing.  They also can't play CB.   There isn't another position on the field more important than a shutdown CB other than QB and LT and maybe MLB.   We're learning that,because neither LT or CB were addressed and we see the product.  Maybe we can at least draft a high LT now though after this losing season.   Good job Gettleman, in your eyes? 

What excuse for not using the saved money on getting any kind of help?  ANY.

He had 2 months to sign it. No i'm no Gettleman homer he has made mistakes but I remember what it was like before him.

He tested waters.  Like every other NFL player in the same situation.  Why is Gettleman superior where he can break the mold and accept someone to take 3-4 million less PER year than other teams are offering?  Ego.    He's not going to be much better in history than Hurney because this is an epic meltdown after a Super Bowl year.

What would the panthers record be with Norman?

In regards to the cap, Gettleman knows the team's situation better than anyone he choose not to use the cap.

He was under a exclusive tag he couldn't test the waters

This season falls directly unto Gettleman's arrogant, fat shoulders. People gave me so much garbage for the Dollar Store Dave name I had for a while, yet, here we are. Saved that JNo money, for what? 

J no would be fantastic and would've helped in atl and den tremendously. But no pass rush would kill him too. This is a collaboration of fault. G man with personnel mixed with his worst draft so far. Coaching is atrocious. Execution by players is abysmal. This is on everyone. Our best damn player by far is Andy lee. He's saved a few dozen points by himself with field position.

Does Richardson have the huevos?

This team is talented enough to be winning NOW.

This team is top-half of the NFL with regard to talent.  And top-half easily.

But yeah, you dudes who have hated Gettleman from the start sure want to pretend differently.

What were the chances that a team would make him the highest paid CB plus surrender draft picks it was for all intents exclusive.

So you are backpedaling now?  Admit you was wrong about the whole thing and man up.

There is always a chance.  But he was also still negotiating with Gettleman.  He did what ANY other players does in that situation.  Gettleman though, thought he was too good for that and pulled it away.

Forced his hand?  How?  What did Gettleman need the money for?   What OTHER cornerback did he sign?  What other PLAYER did he sign?  None and none.  He wasn't going to do anything with the money anyway, so he wasn't forced, he just had an ego.   Stop making excuses for a fail season.

He knew he screwed up when he had to draft THREE cornerbacks that are all pretty bad.

Forced his hand by not signing the tag. He decided that a 1-year deal was not worth it. If he had signed we would've had Norman for one more season.

They are rookies who are playing off coverage on a team that can't generate pressure they are not the only players who look bad on defense.

In regards to the exclusive tag thing you win, it still won't bring Josh back.
