The three players selected right after Ealy

I know you can do this for every draft, but Ealy was a WTF pick even at the time. I thought FOR SURE we were douple dipping on WR's (like previous year with DT's) and nabbing Arob. I was so hype when it was our pick because I seriously thought we wouldn't be there. Oh well, at least Getts is man enough to admit mistakes and get something out of it, unlike Hurney.

Gettleman isn't perfect, so, yeah, he fuged up! But, I don't know of one GM that never misses. Indeed, Gettleman has done pretty well for himself picking up talent. He perhaps could stand to sharpen his maneuvering of draft picks, but I think it's laughable to suggest that he's done a bad job at drafting. At worst, he's above average. There are analysts saying that he's near the top.

It was the best WR class in NFL draft history I was certain we would double dip. But Ealy happened

You and me both. The Kony pick was out of left field. When Arob kept falling and falling, I was so sure he would be our pick.

His point is you can find players at any position in any draft that would have been better picks then who we drafted.

You can actually go back to and find many articles and mock drafts about us drafting Robinson and Landry. We worked out Robinson as much as any player.

This isn't hindsight 20/20 we had those two in our sights and after releasing every WR on our roster that offseason everyone thought we would draft two

    • I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo. 
    • Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.   
    • Mr. 0-2 every year to start the season in his career. Last year was the first year he ever played a week 3 game.
