Gettlemagic?

KB made sense then and I still agree with the pick today. He did well and met expectations are a number 1 WR. I believe it was when his mother passed that it affected him emotionally and psychologically which led to his downfall. People cope differently and I think his way of coping just so happened to derail his NFL career.

I've already been down the rabbit hole of Dave Gettleman's failures.

The thing that stings the most is KB giving up on the play that changed Cam's career against the Chargers.

KB made sense then and I do not agree with the pick today. He was a one-year wonder.

Gettleman was such trash

He wasn't even that good his rookie year. He got a lot of garbage time stats.

I will say KB had the make up of an All-Pro but for whatever reason mentally he fell apart.

His life is better off for it.  The Panthers would have screwed up his career.  In Green Bay he had a future HOFer throwing to him, competent coaching staffs and a solid front office.  Imagine if KB went to the Packers?  Heck, he may not be washed up like he is right now and further more, be having a decent career.
