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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
