Most guys we got did no receive any interest on the market. Ginn was offered 1 year contract with the Bengals but he choose panthers instead.

Exactly. Gettleman got them for the prices they were worth. He didn't bargain them. People act like he's the king of negotiator. He didn't go and sign a DRC for 1yr. We'll see how good he really is when Cam's contract come.

The fact that Gettleman never even brought him in for a look tells you he was not considered in the first place.

I'm sure he didn't bring Branch in not bc he wasnt "impressed" by him. But that he plans to take a DT in the draft.

I'm guessing Gettleman is more impress with Florence, DJ, Mitchell, and Ginn over guys like Nnamdi, Cason, Adrian Wilson and Jennings?

if there's anything we can be sure of it's that gettleman knows how to properly assign value to free agents. if we had the cap space and still didn't even bring him in for a look there must be a logical reason for it (as opposed to the hurney regime where hubris might play a legitimate role.)

All the guys that Gettleman signed weren't going to get any bigger contract elsewhere. Do you believe that with me? Ok

Ginn could have gone anywhere else. I think Cincinnati was offering him a 1 year deal. He opted to go with us. That was a bargain deal. Getting his st skills for a year at that price, you don't consider that a bargain?

Cincy could've got him and their fans would've call it a bargain. What I'm saying is, what we got him for was his market price. He wasnt going to get anything better in Cincy or anywhere else. He chose us bc hes going to have more oppurtunity here than in Cincy to play on offense and ST. If I'm not mistaking, Cincy may still have Tate returning kicks/punts. It's not a bargain imo, if that's his market price.

That was essentially his whole job for the past 13 years.

Hurney really seemed to have a penchant for overvaluing his own draft picks when contract time came around,

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By Icege · Posted

      "If only Bryce were <height>", he'd <insert stupid thing here>" was the bit and in direct response to multiple posters ridiculously blaming Bryce (and only Bryce) for the punt returns vs. New England. :3 I understand that folks desire balance, hence the "Bryce stans vs. Bryce haters" narrative but it's abundantly clear that the only people going into threads just to talk about Bryce are the haters. Meanwhile, daring to disagree that Bryce was completely at fault for something that happened on special teams gets the "stan" label. Shoot, I'm sure folks lump me in as a Bryce stan (Brycen stan? Absolutely. Bryce stan? Nah) just because I have the audacity to look at what the rest of the team is and isn't doing. 😛

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ Walker is the only QB in the Tepper era the Panthers managed to find wins with.  Only QB w/ a winning record.    PJ had success in pro ball before the Panthers.  He he had NFL tools.    He just is consistent and unreliable.  PJ Walker is what you call a bad/poor man's gunslinger.  He can provide highs and lows both virtually guaranteed.  He is NFL depth.  Bryce Young hasn't proven to improve a teams chances of winning better than the PJ Walker tier of QBing. PJ Walker can do things Bryce Young can't......and that a problem

      There isn’t but the thing is the team/system/staff around the QB ultimately dictates how successful that QB can be. You have Baker getting released midseason here vs playing like a MVP on another team. Darnold on the Jets/Panthers vs Vikings/Seahawks. Geno Smith on the Jets vs the Seahawks vs the Raiders. Mac Jones is looking as good as Purdy on the 49ers. You have to build a roster, culture, and system for these guys.  Obviously the QB has to be the leader and help elevate the team, but we are seeing what moving a “bad” QB to a stable franchise looks like. Daniel Jones might be doing the same but it’s too early to tell.
