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.

Just stop, this is stupid

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

    • Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season. 
    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.        
    • My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
