Sad, but ultimately inconsequential...  our issues on the DL begin and start with overpaying and underperforming Short (and to a lesser degree, Poe).  We can't fix that by overpaying an overachiever. 

And again, as quick as Hurney was to gainal a bad rep for paying players, Gettlemqn has largely gotten a pass for his horrible investments - Short, extended Trai instead of Norwell, Kalil, Shepard, etc.  We aren't over the cap, but we have more holes than we do money or assets to fill them.

The fug is wrong with trai? We got lucky to have both Norwell and Turner in the same line. You weren't going to keep both of them. I don't understand why Gettleman gets so much poo for this.

This offseason has the most glaring holes since 2010.  

 

Hurney bwtter pull some magic off or this could get ugly and this train will begin to roll off the tracks the way it did his last time here

The worst thing he could do is overpay FAs with almost no cap to work with imo. Especially because it seems like they are keeping kalil,  torrey, and shaq. We need to somehow get out of being cap strapped every offseason

Maybe personal preference, but imo, Norwell was better, hands down.  Trai is average, and doesn't bring the same attitude and nasty streak that Norwell did.  I have non-Panther fan friends who have watched our games and notice Trai for all the wrong reasons as well.  My issues with him started in the Superbowl when Cam was getting cheapshotted and I watched Trai look at him on the ground, shrug his shoulders and walk away.

Yes we have bigger problems...did you not watch us play LY

My comment was a statement, not a question. And yes, I watched all of the games and saw our defense struggle mightily. The question is, did of our horsesh!t front office watch the games.

This. I would LOVE to have Norwell on Trai's contract and Star on his current contract. I agreed with both calls at the time, but in hindsight we chose wrong on the Norwell/Turner and Star/Short calls.

I'm going to hate to see Love go, but the guy deserves a better paycheck. He deserved KK Short's paycheck AND Dontari Poe's last year. Fat guy came off the bench and outperformed both of those guys. He played like it mattered to him.

KK Short hasn't been any good since linemen figured out which of his eyes was the one to watch and see where he was looking. Get the man a dark visor and he might be dangerous again, but I doubt he'll try hard as long as the big checks keep coming his way. Poe... meh, he needs to work harder next year.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      with arm strength people often get stuck on the distance  arm strength in the NFL is moreso measured in speed / velocity .which of course is how long does it take for  the ball to travel from the time of release until it reaches its target ? & u beat world class speed with more speed on the ball...just saying

      No GM hits 100%. I'm well aware. But what a GM has to do is look at the roster, what's available, and future contracts and go from there. XL was a one season wonder in college. He has speed. Who cares. He body catches and his hands are bricks. Speed doesn't matter when you don't actually have the ball. There were other receivers available with better resumes. XL was a project. Fitts loved projects. You don't have the luxury of projects when you just traded away DJ for a QB. 1st round WRs need to contribute now.  Brooks was a luxury RB pick we didn't have the luxury to make. Who cares if Dallas was going to pick him. We had holes all over our defense. Chuba was coming off a fresh contract. We just inked 150m interior line and then centered it by moving a guard to center that had suffered 2 season ending injuries. The most critical area on our line was being held together by a bandaid and a prayer. No surprise when it didn't work.   Wallace is getting better but Wilson was sitting there waiting to be taken. DPOY for college football right there for the taking. That was a gimme pick. If you're going to take a risk on an injured player, the 3rd round for Wilson made a whole lot more sense at a position we were rest stop TP thin at.  4th round and on aren't going to be heavy contributors unless you're lucky.  He did well on the trade for Jackson. Coker, I believe he offered the largest guarantee. He actually got more than some late round picks make.  Those 1st 3 picks, IMO, were straight up whiffs.  Looking back at Fitterer's picks, I think he tried to plug holes because we had a ton of them. Problem was, he wasn't very good at it and he loved RAS scores and developmental players with a coach that couldn't develop a Polaroid. He tried to do too much. He was impatient. His other problem was he panicked during the draft and couldn't read or understand the flow of how drafts tend to go. DJ Johnson was the prime example. We needed an edge rusher and he jumped in at the end of the run instead of starting it.  Morgan's first year looked exactly like Fitts to me. Lots of projects.  2nd year looks better.  We'll see how 3rd year goes. FA also plays into all of this as well but that's a whole different topic of how it played out and planning with regard to drafting.

      The only social media I want to see out of XL this offseason is….

      I judge how good our players are by the way a defense covers them. XL draws no special coverage. Coker on the other hand always has a man over the top. It still doesn’t matter. You be the judge.
