Do Gettleman and Co Feel the Panthers Overachieved Last year?


Kevin Greene

Recommended Posts

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.

    • These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.
    • If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
    • I saw Brooks maybe a few weeks ago, he was walking pretty normally. of course he wasnt running, jumping and cutting.
