Should the Panthers make any moves over the bye week?

Gettleman knows Nicks very, very well and we have had multiple opportunities to sign him.  That tells you that he does NOT value Nicks.  Same with other teams, as Nucks is still unemployed.

Well actually he offered Nicks a contract last year and he chose the Colts. With that being said something strange is going on with Nicks. I've come to the conclusion that he doesn't have the mental capacities to pick up a playbook on the fly. The Saints, Cowboys, Titans, and Giants have all worked him out this year and passed on him. Now I've been driving his bandwagon, but there is clearly something about him that we don't have knowledge of.

I was under the impression Gettlemen told Nicks he would be better off elsewhere and Nicks left without an offer.  Not sure where you heard Gettlemen gave him an offer?

Easily wr, everyones content now because we are 4-0 but that shouldn't be a excuse on not trying to find ways to get better,that's the difference between playoffs teams and superbowl wining teams.

 

At least kick the tires on some guys, def would take a look at boldin and see if the 49ers are looking to trade.other then that get healthy, and bench harper 

Been hoping for Boldin for a little while now.

Just the opposite in fact. The "Gettleman didnt want him" myth has been completely debunked but is continually recycled to perpetuate the "Gettlemagic!!!!'" hysteria.

Saturday, Charlotte native and former New York Giants receiver Hakeem Nicks said his hometown Carolina Panthers offered him a contract but ultimately the two sides agreed it wasn’t the best situation.

“Yeah they made an offer when I talked to (Panthers general manager) Dave Gettleman,” Nicks said. “But you know it just didn’t pan out the right way. I feel like this is the best fit for me.”

lol "report"

Why dont you show that to us Scot so we can see it?

 

While Nicks wanted to return home to Charlotte and play for the Panthers, Carolina showed no genuine interest, per multiple sources.

Voth was one of the 'multiples'. As I recall, he stated that Nicks never actually came to Charlotte. They only spoke by phone.

And are you telling me you don't remember the massive screaming fits everyone had when they found out Gettleman told him he'd be better off elsewhere?

lol that article doesnt mention Voth at all. In fact, months later, Voth wrote an article mentioning Gettleman's interest in Nicks and how they werent able to get a deal done, in his very in depth and revealing article on how poor planning by Gettleman led to the team regressing last season.

Dave Gettleman wanted Hakeem Nicks. He offered him a contract. When Nicks didnt want to come here, and Gettleman didnt feel he could afford to change his mind, they agreed he should go to Indy while keeping relations cordial.

that has been the story since the beginning and frankly im not surprised youve tried to see it as otherwise.

    • It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game to go around   and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important.
