I hate to spam the Panthers sub-forum but 2-3 days ago I said Gettleman didn't know what he was doing, in the past 24 hours he has given us the best Free Agency in years, if Ginn joins us Gettleman is a wizard with money. I know we still have many needs but damn is he off to a good start, I was so wrong about him.

I'd like to point something out, Ted Ginn JR had 790 Yards Receiving under a completely poo QB, and third string numbers under Alex Smith, cam might do him wonders, we already know he is a beast at returning.

don't do anything = "OMG THIS DUDE SUCKS"

signs a backup safety, two nickel corners, and someone who lost his job as a returner in san fran and can't catch = "OMG GOATTLEMAN"

you're a moron if you're doing either of the above. literally judging a new general manager who can't choose his own staff with barely enough money to sign backups one week into the season.

I didn't slam him earlier, and I won't praise him now. Lets wait and see what happens on Fall Sundays over the next few years.

I am optimistic, but I see no reason to jump to any conclusion at this stage in his tenure.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

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

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
