He's 31. We aren't in a position to contend. Resigning him would be dumb.

Although I do agree that we aren’t in a position to contend that’s not how the Panthers are approaching this.

They truly think they’re a LT and QB away from contending. I do think we end up with Garoppolo.  

So if they believe they’re contenders again this year (they will) I’d prefer they bring back Gilmore. If they’re choosing Reddick over Gilmore then OK but if it’s Donte over Gilmore then oh boy.

Extending Donte would be even dumber.  And guys like Gilmore are usually able to transition to safety as they age out of corner and still have just as much of an impact.  It would be dumb to let him walk if he wants to be here.

I could get on board with this.

Probably worth remembering that Matt Rhule is a big Donte Jackson fan though.

Rhule being a big fan of underachieving players is a common theme.  This team is going to be so much worse after he leaves than when he got here. Dark days ahead.

Personally I’d let Gilmore and Donte walk.

You drafted Horn 8th overall. Sent a 3rd for CJ. Keith Taylor was impressive enough. Hartsfield is solid. Bouye is your vet. 

The way they approached the CB position last year was so that they didn’t have to spend $$$ on it down the road

We are probably not as far away talent wise as many here think.  Two good olinemen and a QB would put us in position to contend, if we had a different coaching staff (a big if).  Of course, getting a good qb is the trick.  They aren't that easy to get, and Bridgewater II, I mean Garapalo ain't it.

What team are you watching? This team is more than two players away from being a contender. Especially with our cap situation.

This damn fool has thought he was just the right afterthought stop gap QB away from competing from the get go despite all the bullshit about a "process" and "five year" plan hence why we keep drastically overspending on those types of players.

I don’t understand this management. Trade for a hometown guy, who just so happens to arguably be the best CB in the game, only get to use him for a handful of games, and you don’t bring him back. I’m not saying that’s what happened, but I wouldn’t put it past this team. Gilmore>Djax and it should be Gilmore coming back. He actually wants to be here, bless his heart. 

 

I think the thought process was he would step in for Horn who was hurt back when we were stupid and thought we had a playoff team. I can live with that for a 6th rounder. It also prevent him from going to Tampa which was worth it….

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
