I did. In fact, most objective observers and some biased ones happened to note it as well.

Prove it.  And while you are at it, explain in detail exactly how you would have addressed the situation.

Yes, OT does need help.....no one is debating that.

 

The thing that drives many of us crazy is the inability for the posters that want to fire up the torches to go back and say what the correct and prudent course of action would have been.

 

We have been hurting at offensive tackle since Jordan Gross retired....that is no secret.  However a healthy Oher was a decent "stop gap".  Add in many of the reactionary posters poster boy Hurney's huge mistake by letting Glenn slip by, and you have our current situation.

There have been little T help on the board when we have turned in our ticket recently, and this year we are in a place to take a legit T, and there may not be one worth a 1st round grade, much less a top 10 grade.

 

 

Bullcrap...many posters foresaw this and posted well before it became hindsight...

So "many" posters foresaw Kalil and his backup getting hurt, Oher going out with a career threatening head injury, only 1 O linemen being in his natural position all season....etc.....

Yea, I'm sure many did.

Precognition. Too bad they aren't running an NFL team.

This agenda people are pushing is very misguided and one sided. Drafting isn't the only way to fill holes. There has been free agency and undrafted players that have out performed those that are drafted. The notion that we're not drafting offensive starters is being blown out of proportion. We have offensive starters that were drafted, traded for, signed and picked up undrafted. You can't dismiss those facts either. 

 

This isn't deliberately the sole cause of what happened this season. Injuries were the main reason and you'd be a fool not to notice that. 

 

With that said, I rather have a day one starter on the defense than a person that's a huge if on the offensive side. Free Agency will set up this draft and I have a feeling Gettleman will look to fix the line and maybe make a play for another weapon for Newton. 

There is nothing misguided about lack of investment on the offense if anything your skewing information to match your view points

- many of the top defensive players are overrated and do not fit scheme wise for Panthers 

 

- there Is top Tier offensive talent that will have immediate impact on this offense

Ah the old "but who could he have drafted?!" Argument! Classic and pathetic. 

All you nuthuggers sit here and ride the guys dick about his ability to evaluate talent yet I told y'all Ealy was a blown pick when it happened. I was wanting Allen Robinson and we also could've had Jarvis Landry but Gettleman just couldn't resist. The saddest part is that Gettleman said he had a 1st round grade on Ealy, LOL! 

As far as the tackle situation goes I wanted to sign Jared Veldheer when he was available. "But but the cap" If LT was that important to Gettleman he could've made some sacrifices then to take on a contracts like Veldheer's at the time. 

At some point you guys that go above and beyond to defend Gettleman really need to realize just how little this guy has done. Don't come back with the whole 3 playoff appearances bullsh*t either. Gettleman AND this coaching staff were the beneficiaries of the natural progression made by the core of this team combined with a weak division.

Now here we are, sitting on 70 some odd million in cap space? We have some serious holes but we also have a good foundation. There is literally NO EXCUSE this offseason not to fill these holes properly through the draft and FA. This is Gettleman's last chance imo or he needs to be shown the door. He has all the resources to fix this, will he? I definitely have my doubts

Yikes. Only 9 of 28 picks gone towards the offense. All these resources towards the the defense and we still haven't had a defense on the level of Seattles or Denvers. I, for one, hope we use this draft to focus mainly on the offense.

You don't have to see specifics to know that something can and will happen in the trenches regarding injuries. Moreover, the Super Bowl should have been a chilling reminder that Tackle should have been a priority. People said it all damn spring and summer!
