gettleman issued like one statement on it after he was released and said that all players on the roster were being evaluated at the combine.  the rest of it was fans like you going apeshit on the internet and steve smith talking trash to anyone with a microphone that would listen.

 

 

I call bullsh*t. Saying this:

 

"Steve's had a great career," Gettleman told reporters in Indianapolis. "He really has. None of us are here forever."

 

Is NOT the same as saying "everyone is evaluated". He talked about Steve in past tense. He left it in limbo for weeks. That's Gettleman's fault. Saying otherwise is a complete lie, and the fact Gettleman hasn't done that with DeAngelo pretty much proves that.

maybe i just wasn't as massively butthurt by that as his fanboys.  it's a different outlook i guess because i didn't think that steve smith was bigger or more important than the franchise.

With Getttleman it is all business.   If you are paid top dollar, then you have to play like a top dollar player.  It doesn;t matter if you are well liked or  what you did in the past.  Dwill has not played 16 games for several years, but was paid to be the #1 rb.  Stewart should take note and be ready to play a full season next year or be let go also.    Gettleman will look at every player on the team and make decisions based upon production .  Hurney overpaid players and will take a while for Gettleman to get everything balanced based upon the facts.  Look for Johnson to rework his contract or be on the list of overpaid Hurney players and be let go when possible.  We have to pay Cam and Kuechly and they are the future of our team.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
