Kevin Seifert - Why Carolina Panthers got the Josh Norman decision right

[TheSpecialJuan]

There had to be more to the story, right?

The Carolina Panthers cut loose an All-Pro cornerback with no guarantee of compensation and no indication of chronic injury, rancor or regime change. It would be easy to slam Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman for arrogance and incompetence, or at the very least impatience, after his decision to rescind cornerback Josh Norman's franchise tag. But after a move this rare and unconventional, it made sense to wait for an explanation before pouncing.

Pretty good from a guy that literally has zero in the fight.  Guy used to be a Vikings turned NFCN beat writer.

First person I've heard out of the mainstream media that isn't claiming the Panthers are crazy.

exactly.

Even Colin Cowherd approved of the move this morning.

Mike Silver killed Gettleman this morning on the Rich Eisen show. Claiming Gman thinks he's bigger than the team and stupid uninformed accusations.

Gman has this. How many times have these talking heads questioned him? Almost every time and each time they ha r been wrong. The author of that article is right on. Norman will make little to no difference wherever he ends up.

Gettleman is GOD and anyone who questions him is a FOOL. I'm glad that greedy, overrated punk Norman is gone!!

I have heard nowhere that J-No is some stud DB. Yes, he's good but no one is or has been comparing him among the elite DBs outside of his inner-circle.

His belief in himself is gonna take a hit, especially when opposing GMs figure out why his tender was redacted. 

There's just so many red-flags popping up, especially considering GMan on the record saying "we don't develop players for other teams."

Looks like last year's pundits doubting our WRs are onto our DBs.

The funny thing is that we can improve our Dbackfield by strengthening our DL.

Hawg Mawlies and poo.
