The fact that there are Panthers fans that can find a perceived "win" in touting DG's positives while overlooking the negatives when we're heading into the playoffs with Devin Funchess and a crew of glorified waterboys at WR while the Saints are throttling teams with Ted Ginn who DG let walk for a few million a year tells you all you need to know about the Panthers fanbase.

Ginn's got about 700 yds. and 4 tds.  He's not throttling anyone.  NO is winning with a balanced attack with a 1000 yd. receiver, a 1000 yd rusher, and a do it all rookie.  None of these 3 guys are named Ted Ginn.

so we sacrifice an entire year just to accommodate our hard headed GM and his ego? 

Why not? Our dumbass owner sacrificed a whole season to accommodate the 31 other owners while the PSL owners were required to continue to pay full price.

in all seriousness if you honestly think josh Norman alone is worth 4-5 extra wins last year, then it's not worth continuing this conversation.

Sure. Ginn is the reason Saints har killing it on O. Yep. 

Gettleman made som huge mistakes. Kalil and the handling of Norman ( not letting him go, but the handling ) but to say Ginn is some mighty force is stupid. Had Byrd not been unluckey with his arm he would have done the same as Ginn if not more. 

I thought it was the run game.....

If this is, in your words, a "DG built team" then you also have to credit him with the 11 wins they've put up.

Can't have it both ways.

There's no way we even sniff 11 wins without Cam Newton leading the team in rushing.

All these year of you posturing about your football knowledge, the fact I have to explain this to you is comical.

no, but I'm sure as hell not mad DG is with the Giants now. 

I don't give a s--t whether Gettleman succeeds with the Giants or not. The only team whose success matters to me is the Panthers.

That said, I think Richardson was a dumbass to fire Gettleman, and while I hate the scandal that's happening, I expect the team will be better off with someone other than Jerry Richardson making the important decisions.

Yea the hope is we actually get a GM that is at least DG level and perhaps could get a better one.

I totally agree with you on the Ravens GM in waiting...i'd make him the highest paid GM in NFL history if that's what it took to get him over here.

given the fact we lost like 8 games by 1 score or less, and the fact our secondary was absolute trash last year, yes, Norman could have easily made the difference in a few games last year, not just on the field, but playing opposite of Bradberry while also mentoring him and Worley in the process. 

instead our GM decided to throw 3 rookie corners to the wolves and watched them get eaten alive every Sunday. great strategy to get back to the dance following a 15-1 superbowl year.

Is be good with Marc Ross too.

I can't imagine he's too happy to still be the GM in waiting after all the time he's spent there already.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
