These are all horrible over-reactions by most of you. You won't know if the Gettleman firing was a bad move until we've played 2-3 seasons without him . If they're all losing seasons and no playoffs then I'll agree with you. But at this point I believe we have the still have the roster to contend for the next couple of years even with a not so great GM, with the combination of pieces Hurney and Gettleman have given to us from the past.

This season is gonna be ugly.  I'll be the first to eat crow if we win the division or slip into the playoffs as a wild card.

Actually the pieces are already in place for this season.   We will be fine. It is the next 5 season that will be ugly.

That doesn't tell the whole picture at all.

Take away the 17-2 season (which was an abnormality) and the Panthers went 26-24-1 under DG, so average. 

That 7-8-1 year was a fluke regarding the standings and anyone argues for DG based on that year is just kidding themselves. 

The team has been wildly inconsistent. I see all these comparison to Belichek and how he runs the Pats, well the Pats also don't go 17-2 one year and then come back and go 6-10 the next. If you're going to run a team like DG does you better have a player that can carry your team to victory like the Pats do when poo starts to hit the fan. While Cam can be that guy, he's not yet.

When you have to take away one out of four seasons he was here to make your point, it's not a good point.

You can't take away events that actually happened, I hate when people say stuff like that. People use that arguement against Cam all the time , "take away his MVP season and he's just an average inconsitent mediocre QB."

You have to take everything into account, all seasons, and all factors. The fact is , he got us into a position to get to the 2015 season, you could argue Star and Short were huge factors in us having a good enough pass rush to generate all those turnovers and be one of the best defenses in the NFL that season , which hugely contributed to alot of our wins, as good as Cam was. He did alot of other stuff to im sure to get to that point, it wasn't just just him riding the coat tails of players Hurney drafted.

Gettleman wasn't at fault for all the injuries that occured in 2016, which is a gigantic reason why we lost so many games many of which were very close games. You could argue the worst thing Gettleman did for 2016 is not provide Cam with good enough OTs after getting exposed in the Super Bowl, and shitting the bed with Josh Norman and fielding a couple rookies instead.  You can't blame him for Cam getting injured on that TD run, Luke getting another concussion, or many of the oline injuries simply bad luck, and you can't blame Gettleman for Gano missing the game winner in Denver. If Gano hits that kick we probably go somewhere between 8-8 and 11-5 in my opinion. Would have totally changed the mood of the season and may have had a butterfly affect and possible the players play much differently and some of those injuries dont occur.

IMO, I think this roster is better than 2015. We will be fine this year. Next year though, I have no idea.

When that season was out of the ordinary, yeah you take it out of the equation.

It's like when you run a formula 10 times and you only get a good result one time. Outside of that one year we have been mediocre and anyone that says otherwise is arguing with facts.

This season should be fine. It's our future that has me very concerned. 

Say what you want about there being "no chance" that Hurney is hired full term. But just wait and watch. JR will love having his guy back in the office. 

I'm calling it now and until the day we ink a new GM, Hurney has a very real chance at being our permanent GM.

      Okay, now face the facta guyd

      Which is why I'm all for trading Lamelo. Guy misses half of every season. I swear he just likes to sit on the bench to show off his street clothes. I think it negatively impacts the other guys who do the same. If guys don't want to play, they don't need to be here. Coach and gm need to get stricter

      Trevin Wallace - PFF Breakout Nominee

      See, I have a different view of it. I think that just the opposite is very true, and often proven on our very own team.  Look at the impact that CMC had when he was here.  Look at how bring in two top rate IOL to play guard last season made a huge difference in finally getting a stable front for Bryce to live behind. It took a while for it to bear fruit, but those last games were just relevatory. And off ball linebackers like Luke Kuechly, not just running a defense but dictating the game when he's on the field, truly remarkable what a difference that makes. Personally, he had as much or maybe even more to do with that Super Bowl appearance as Cam did.  What I see in the NFL is teams trying hard to cover up for a lack of good linebackers by stacking the D-line. But it gives them a crust defense, one that is hard and crunchy on the outside but a feast within. Linebackers shouldn't just rule the middle of the field, but should be directing traffic and working as enforcers.  But hey, whatever. "Devalued" positions often come back to bite you in the ass when they are neglected. Ask anyone who has had to clean up the mess left behind by a former college coach who took over a pro team and brought their college recruiting mindset in. Yanno, like Matt Rhule did.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see it this way--XL was raw.  Raw players when drafted who are forced to start immediately are very raw players in the NFL-- How is he helped? TMac will shift the focus of the defense away from XL.  XL will be more experienced.  He will have an offseason of jugs work.  He is a very good athlete.  He can only get better.  Wallace?  Same thing.  He will get better with an improved defensive front and the addition of these heat-seeking head hunters at S.  I think about the players we will have on defense in 2025 that we did not have in 2024. Derrick Brown. DE Brown III NT Wharton DE Jones Edge Moehrig S Princely. Edge Scourton. Edge Ransom. S Cam Jackson NT Roseboom  LB While we may not know what we have, we know what we don't have--
