Panthers don’t pick up Butler’s fifth-year option

[TN05]

What a waste of a pick.

I would love if we could trade him and get something in return.

Correct move. Looks like nothing more than an average back up. 2016 Draft class is def in the conversation for the worst in franchise history.

Looking back at 2016 draft grades for a good chuckle. Lots of B+ type grades going around, just to show you draft grades don't mean poo.

 

Speaking of, check out this quote from Zack Sanchez lol

Best playmaker in draft: Sanchez doesn’t lack for confidence. He recently was quoted as saying: “I’m the best defensive playmaker in the draft, hands down. Nobody can create turnovers the way that I can. Nobody gets their hands on more balls than I do. There are obviously things in my technique that I have to fix, but I have something you can’t coach: That’s natural instincts and a gift for making plays. You can’t coach players to make plays.’’ Sounds like something Norman would say.

Gettleman got fired for his 2016 draft + Josh Norman being botched

[OriginalPantherDan]

At least the front office is wise enough to move on. 

[Palmetto]

All that depth ....... gone

Good. Hated the picked then, still hate it now.

Cleaning up another Gettlemess

Another wasted pick by the infamous Getty who is getting roasted in NY. Maybe Hurney should call Beane and tell him how great Vern was last year, Bills seem to love our players.

Yep... 2016 was a comedy of errors for Gettleman.  That along with 2010 for Hurney IMO are the worst years by a GM in the Panthers history

Wasn’t there a lot of speculation that JR wasn’t allowing Hurney to do much in ‘10 because of the potential lockout?  Not sure how legit that was though. 

Hurney’s 2009-2011 drafts were terrible outside of Hardy and Cam.  And Munnerlyn was good for a 7th rounder.
