At this point we are far from done. Lets wait until the preseason to judge how well we did.

meh, if people want to celebrate what gettleman has pulled off so far, let them. it's no big deal. i don't see any sense in telling people how to react or wait to see how it plays out. its not mike they are forcing their giddiness on anyone. same with hitting the panic button. it's not hurting anyone if they do it. i just don't understand people feeling it necessary to tell people how to react or when.

if you feel good about what gettleman is doing, don't let anyone tell you any different. if you are feeling like things are falling apart, have at it as well. so what if we don't have a complete picture yet? enjoy the ride with all it's ups and downs. don't feel like you have to wait till the end.

Right. Olindo Mare's contract comes to mind.

the fact that he's still on the books for a couple million still bugs me. not sure gettleman would have allowed that to happen for an untested and rather unsuccessful player. too much money and too big of a contract.

I don't even want to think about it. No way Gettleman gives an inconsistent kicker a 12 million dollar contract, lmao I can barely type that with a straight face. Yet there are fans who have the nerve to compare this man to Hurney, utter hilarity.

he acted like we were moving on from kasay, but we were actually replacing one old overpaid and inconsistent kicker with another, except the new one could do kickoffs.

moving on was the right idea. trying to replace him with mare was a huge mistake....esp. with that contract. that was the hurney way, though. overpay a vet because you like the idea of them with the team. meh.....

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
