"There is a real interesting crop of defensive line, which doesn't upset me" Regarding the draft
 
"My philosophy of unrestricted free agency is you use it to setup the draft." 
 
"Both groups are strong (OL and WR)." 
 
"I'm not going to discuss what we are going to do with Byron. We are going to draft the best guy. If we have 5 studs at one position and the best guy is at that position, we are going to take him."
 
"We're slowly but surely digging out. We are at a better position now than last year"
 
"I spoke to Deangelo, we had a great conversation. Its private."
 
"Deangelo had a tough season, he lost his mom, dedicated the season to her and couldn't stay healthy."
 
"As far as the college kids are concerned, I haven't really gotten into the film yet" regarding left tackle draft prospects. 
 
He went on to say last season they liked a left tackle prospect early, but the prospect was chosen before the Panthers pick. That prospect went on to play left tackle, so Gettleman feels good about their process. 
 
"Right now Greg (Hardy) is on the exempt list, until that changes I have nothing to say."
 
"I've been around running backs... I don't see anything terrible with having 2 or 3 running backs at times." 
 
 
"Stah had the injury at the end of the year, and KK has really come along. KK played significant minutes last year. He came on and got stronger and stronger. Very pleased with those two young guys." 
 
"This game is too hahd.... who wants a ticking timebomb?" in regards to character issues in draft picks.
 
"I just don't start on the college kids until I leave here, this is my first taste."
 
"I love the interview process because its strictly football oriented. Its about football. We don't try to get in his head. We treat it just football, its a crazy idea. We did a couple haug mollies last night. We want to see what he knows and what he doesn't know, and what he can spit back to us"
 
"You gotta know how quickly you can get this guy on the field. If you can't get him on the field, then whats the point"

That's what I was thinking. Couldn't have realistically been looking at Lewan or Matthews. That's interesting that we liked James though, because people said it was a reach for the Dolphins to take him at 19, but it ended up being a good pick in hindsight. Shows that Gettleman really knows his talent evaluation.

      Bears Following Panther / Saints blueprint

      By Waldo · Posted

      Meh I get the intent but signing the OGs at the highest price and coming out with a historically bad D isn't something other teams should do. The Bears took a better route. Older guys but cheaper. Only negative I got there is that they still need to take an OG this year but that 4th is 2026 so it really should be hard for them to make a solid swing before it's a gapping hole again.

      Bears Following Panther / Saints blueprint

      The coach of the Chicago Bears just referenced the turnaround of the Panthers once they invested in guards.  He then has just signed 2 high profile guards.  How is that not copying the Panthers?  I agree that there is not a lot to copy here, but step back.  We lost Darnold before investing in the OL.  We lost Baker before investing in the OL.  We drafted Bryce before successfully investing in the OL.  We invest in 2 guards.  After a slow start, Bryce ends the season 4-5 and is very close to both Philly and New England.  Later, the new coach of the Bears references the Panthers and how they turned it around after signing high profile guards.  A week or two later, they announce they signed 2 high profile guards.  I think all GMs paid attention to what has happened here.  It may not be the sole basis for their decision, but the defense cost us 2024, not the offense.  In addition, we did it without our #1 WR, a top TE, and the cupboards were pretty bare at WR.  I think they noticed.  As you say, Frank, we shall see.

      Panthers met with Skattebo at Combine

      By PantherChris · Posted

      I was about to say he put up a damn near 40 inch vertical and a 10'3 broad jump, even if he only runs in the 4.6 range the guy belongs in the NFL, not sure he will ever be an elite back but he definitely can contribute
