Is David Gettis... Fast, tall, but I don't know if he's going to take that next step...IF he is like Drew Carter where he produces for 3 games, and only gets open because he is fast. Do you feel this Panthers regime will neglect improving the WR core like the old days? I hope we don't pass on some of the wr's in this draft because were getting him back next season, we can't be that dumb. I understand we drafted Jarret and signed Key, but we hung on to Colbert and Carter for way to long.

I think Gettis runs with more strength than Carter. But even if he just becomes another Drew Carter it doesn't mean he can't be useful to us. Drew Carter could go deep and stretch the field and produce 100 yd games every once in a while.

But I don't think that is going to happen. Carter always seemed like he was playing on his natural track talent. Gettis seems to have a burning desire to be a great WR.

You're comparing players in completely different offenses/mentalities/players. Shockey and Olsen didn't end up like Rosario did they? I have a feeling the offenses in the previous regime held guys back, as well as Jake just not being the type that makes receivers better.

This offense likes to use the talent it has and Gettis has deep speed to compliment Cam's pretty deep ball. Gettis showed some good stuff in a rookie season where we had no QB and the offenses were awful so I think he will pick up where he left off.

Way too early to make a judgment call on Gettis. Not only because he has only had on year with a crap QB at that, a sixth rounder who has only played one year and because he is coming off of an inury.

Replacements for Gettis and Davis need to be sought out. Lafell still looks to me like a poor man's #2. Next year we will know for sure on him.

Don't bet on Gettis, a 100% recovery while retaining the desire to play at a high level should not be expected. WR is the biggest need on offense if you think Otah is worth a poo.

      Wonder if we draft a RB. Seems like a lot of eggs in Brooks’ basket right now.  And the OL, no kidding. If that running game goes to hell with what we have at QB, you can forget competing. It is so much more important than sticking another wideout on the field. Take your wideout later.

      I have lots of different thoughts on it. This argument, the primary thing is I don’t like seeing him or anyone, being convicted on hearsay and/or pure speculation. Which some are doing.  I don’t care That much about defending Morgan as I do about the criticism being fair minded.    You sort of assert that Dan was just a yes man. I don’t think we know if he ever pushed back against Fitterer but I have this instinct thing that needs me to satisfy the question of: if Tepper was so down on a Fitterer as to fire him, why in the world would he hire his carbon copy? I guess maybe he wanted a yes man.Like I said, lots of different thoughts.     I am just not gonna judge him that harshly based only on speculation. I am sticking with what he has done starting when he was hired as GM. Maybe I am more lenient because the first season for him and Canales, I gave both a pass. Said I would judge them after the first year. Stuck to it. If you can get to the reality that neither were ready for the job and say okay give them a year get their feet wet, it looks a lot better.    And we are not bound to Bryce yet. Yes, for yet another fuging year he can probably marginally improve and slide by like he has been doing. But if they add even more people and he regresses? I think we could see some relief.    The QB room? As I understand it, Pickett was Canales’ choice. If we need to blame people for poo. In a sense, he is very Bryce like. So makes a good plug in. I get that a little bit. We still have the draft. If they do better than Jake Plummer or Hooker I’ll know they are trying.
