Do Gettleman and Co Feel the Panthers Overachieved Last year?

At 12-4 and perhaps on the cusp of a deep Playoff run this year a team might be tempted to keep the nucleus together and maybe even add or keep a couple contracts that might not be too cap friendly in a year or two?

 

But Getts seems rather flip about the roster and is apparently comfortable losing a lot of core players.

 

No hysteria here but is it possible Leadership at BofA feels the Panthers had a lucky streak, overachieved last year and are still in need of major overhauls and another year of contract purging before they expect yearly Post Season runs?

Or...

They aren't like the chicken littles running rampant on the huddle, twitter, etc & won't run out & sign people just for the sake of signing people.

It's only March 11th. Christ.

We haven't lost any of the core other than Gross but we can't control retirement. But we did lose some great role players Ginn, Mitchell for example that played large roles. We will feel a lot better once FA is over and we draft some quality starters but damn did our division rivals get better...

Guess that depends on your definition of Core.

The nucleus of any winning team has to be DL, OL, and QB. 2 of those are in great shape. No doubt that OL needs tons of work. Gettleman won't overspend on any other positions until that's taken care of, imo. Sign hungry players on short-term deals until the cap improves.

Gettleman said, "Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise [we will be out of Hurney cap hell] in two years."  I'm of the opinion that this past season and anything we win before then is gravy. We will be a perennial playoff team soon. but I think we take a step back this year. 

 

Gettleman is thinking long term. He's thinking several years ahead and he's considering many things that fans don't, like depth and salary cap ramifications past this upcoming season.

If all the rumors are true, we'll have lost Smitty too... Mitchell was more than a role player in that secondary.. Not in terms of talent, but leadership. He was a core defensive leader. MItchell, Gross, and possibly Smitty are huge losses.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      Difference between you and I here on this convo….is you only acknowledge PFF.   It’s hyper fixation from folks that get creative  and blinders to the rest.  Put that one website to the side, and all the other aspects we use to declare what top 10 looks like wouldn’t put Bryce in that type talk.

      What it tries to do is grade each player individually IMO. If XL drops a nice pass it tries to make it not hurt the player than threw the pass and if on a similar pass a WR like DK makes a leaping one handed catch it tries to even out how much credit the QB gets vs the WR. Yeah it has grey areas because some of it can fall under opinion despite them using specific measurements and charts to justify their definitions. Like it or not PFF isn’t going anywhere. Analytics are trending up right now.

      I’m getting 2 of 7 off his passing chart that day for balls that traveled at least 20 yards in the air.   And 20 yards in the air is largely the consensus of a deep ball.   that’s why I keep saying people are just running with a headline.  Because his best in the week deep declaration is based off a 2 of 7 day.  PFF is declaring him best off the day and using plays like a 50/50 jump ball to AT that went incomplete to build it.  That week was full of guys that factually were better deep…..everywhere but PFFs website.  Lamar, Stafford, Nix and on and on were all better in reality that week.  Hell, Mahomes in that same game.   PFF basically does a what if alternate reality on those deep throws.  So the volume of just throwing up a jump ball aids the PFF stat pending it’s a good 50/50 ball.
