Getty's presser just started


Captain Morgan

Recommended Posts

DG: Bradberry "more than held his own" on Julio Jones and Mike Evans at end of season. I'd agree with that.

 

DG: Excited about the continued development of the rookie CBs. Points out Bradberry was matched up on Julio Jones and Mike Evans late in yr.

Gettleman says every year is different in free agency + #Panthers will use every avenue to build team: “We’re going to shop intelligently.”

 

Panthers will have the No. 8 pick in the draft and DG believes the team will get a quality player. Likes CBs, S, DE and RB in the draft.

 

DG: "There isn't a day that goes by that I don't question myself -- hold myself accountable."

DG: Says he feels good about the backup OL. "They didn't fall apart."

 

Gettleman believes injuries (and need to shuffle players to different positions) played a big role in some offensive line struggles.

 

Gettleman says he feels good about the backup O-linemen after so many were called into action due to injuries this year.

 

Gettleman says he gave Ron Rivera enough "healthy players, but said "when it rains it pours" on injuries.

DG: "Last year we were healthy as hell. ... Kelvin got hurt early enough that we could make that adjustment, which was huge."

 

Gettleman on Cam Newton: "We just couldn't get into any rhythm this year... the whole offense was just out of whack. It was frustrating."

 

Gettleman on QB Cam Newton: "We couldn't get any rhythm on offense this year." Again he says injuries played a factor in his declining #s.

    • Big opportunity for Nadeau if he gets called up. 
    • I think OL is a pretty low overall concern but every single offseason there should be an attempt to upgrade through the draft. Edge rusher there are no easy answers, IMO. If a truly elite prospect falls to us in the 1st, that is fine. This draft seems to be much more heavy on 3-4 DE's or 4-3 DE's than it is on elite EDGE guys. You just have to keep plugging away every offseason and hope it works out. I don't think it's worth trading a ton of draft capital over at the moment, despite being a crucial roster weakness. Do the best you can and build a better roster and maybe eventually we will be in a position to be making a Parsons level trade.
    • I understand that a capable OC is desirable but I also understand, or think I might, the dynamics with the staff and maybe I’m wrong but I do not see Canales firing his offensive right hand guy without significant pressure from Morgan or Tepper to do so.  So that, in addition to Canales stating pretty definitively, that he was keeping play calling.     I don’t know what you do in that circumstance. It would need to be important enough to you to make it worth firing Canales to get your OC play caller.    To that, if Canales not being good so far at play calling (and we only have the one year in TB to factor with what we have see here), is accepted as a given, it is only fair and honest to consider what an impediment having to construct and administer an offense around Bryce Young’s game would be to an OC. I would say it is a big complication, big surprise there.  You won’t know about Canales 100% until you remove Bryce from the equation and get him a clean slate to create from - without the Bryce restrictions.  And yeah you will likely end up without a top notch high flying offense. But it still *could* be much better than it is now. In the right hands.  So that is potentially what we’re looking at. I suppose we could keep Bryce and bring in a college style coach and design a Bryce rollout offense or something and see if that helped. I am not in favor of that, probably the last thing I would want.  We could do nothing, which I am not in favor of. We could fire Canales and keep Bryce (my least preferred option). We could get rid of both, which I would begrudgingly accept but would lament the interruption of the continuity that a 3rd year would provide.  You could get rid of Bryce and get a couple of new QB prospects in here, vets, drafts, whatever… that would be my choice.  I am afraid I know how it’s gonna go. All I can really say about that is, there has not been a single time in three years that I looked at the upcoming game and felt like we were gonna win because we have Bryce Young playing QB. Because of what he could do with the ball in his hands. Not once. Sure there have been a handful of games that he was part of the reason we won, a couple he was a big part, but not enough times to feel like that is my expectation. At best, it is cross your fingers and hope for good Bryce.
