This incompetent sob trades away one of our best offensive threats on a already struggling offense.

All because we have an over his head OC who can't adjust to his personnel and think every receiver running go routes is good play design. We let one of the best possession receivers in the NFL walk out the door for peanuts, for a Marty Hurney 3rd round draft pick ponder that.

I remember when Gettleman said he didn't believe in windows for Superbowl teams. Well Dave, Superbowl windows are a very real thing and you and Hurndog helped us completely miss ours. Other teams are realizing they have a real chance at winning the SB and are going all in. Either every team in league is wrong or windows are a real thing and we got completely fuged because of shitty upper management.

We are in 49ers, Jets, Browns, territory when it comes to wide receiver depth and talent.

And all these experts talking about Cam played better in 2015 when KB was out. We'll guess what, we could run the ball wih the best of them in 2015 and now we are one of the worst. 

And now we just got weaker in the passing game. KB size and ability to box out sealed the win for us last week. We have no other receiver on the roster who could have made that play.

I was a lot more mad when we lost Josh and Smitty

I was mad about Steve but more from a nostalgia aspect than from on field performance at that point in his career. With Josh I was mad but atleast Gettleman had a philosophy and a rhyme and reason for not wanting to pay Norman. 

I see no reason for executing this trade other Hurney throwing Beane a bone and giving Tyrod a reliable receiver on the Bills playoff run.

This stinks and it certainly doesn't show the Panthers are in win mode now.

      The Evolution of the Panthers OL (2023 - 2025)

      By Icege · Posted

      Several Huddlers mentioned the states of other position groups in the WR evolution thread, so I figured... Why not? Let's throw something about the OL together. Snap counts btw include ST, but JJ Jansen is not included because it would be an insult to the GOAT for him to not have his own thread (which I'm not making).   2023: Revolving Doors Projected OL: Ikem Ekwonu, Brady Christensen, Bradley Bozeman, Austin Corbett, Taylor Moton Week 1: Ikem Ekwonu, Brady Christensen, Bradley Bozeman, Chandler Zavala, Taylor Moton Week 18: Ikem Ekwonu, Gabe Jackson, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen, Taylor Moton Snap Counts: Ikem Ekwonu (1,201), Taylor Moton (1,201), Bradley Bozeman (1,149), Calvin Throckmorton (544), Cade Mays (486), Chandler Zavala (403), Nash Jensen (334), Austin Corbett (261), Gabe Jackson (205), Justin McCray (84), Brett Toth (80, Brady Christensen (79), David Sharpe (24), Ricky Lee (24), J.D. DiRenzo (14) What Happened?: OL Hell. Corbett was out most of the season and then was reinjured shortly after returning. BC only got to play week one (finishing the game with a torn biceps). The interior became a weekly shuffling of overwhelmed rookies, emergency vets, and waiver claims to try and survive the season. BY9 ended up being the second most sacked rookie QB of all time (now third after Caleb Williams' rookie campaign). The team ended up starting 6 LGs and 7 RGs (in total, they played 8 different LGs and 9 different RGs). There was constant interior pressure, missed stunts, and zero chemistry. This was an insane fall off when the OL looked to be a strength at the end of 2022, but there was a scheme shift from a power run game to a lot more zone. Verdict: Icky and TMo were the glue while Bozeman was stuck between a turnstile and a parking cone. These three did their best to be the glue, but there was only so much that could be done with the injury issues and catastrophe that would end up being the coaching staff. 2024: Changing of the Guards Projected OL: Ikem Ekwonu, Damien Lewis, Austin Corbett, Robert Hunt, Taylor Moton Week 1: Ikem Ekwonu, Damien Lewis, Austin Corbett, Robert Hunt, Taylor Moton  Week 18: Ikem Ekwonu , Damien Lewis, Cade Mays, Chandler Zavala, Taylor Moton Snap Counts: Robert Hunt (1,022), Damien Lewis (999), Ikem Ekwonu (963), Taylor Moton (899), Cade Mays (502), Brady Christensen (448), Austin Corbett (292), Chandler Zavala (259), Yosh Nijman (255), Jarrett Kingston (25), Andrew Raym (4), Brandon Walton (4) What Happened?: Solved the LG + RG issues by reuniting Lewis with Canales and paying the best RG in free agency (Hunt). Corbett again didn't finish the season, but Cade Mays was brought back and he filled in admirably. BC played almost every position on the OL and provided a valuable back-up + OL6. Zavala even looked better and more comfortable. Icky continued to show promising development as well, earning himself the team picking up his bonus option. The team churned the bottom of the group a bit, using special teams as a way to evaluate them. Verdict: The team has four of the five OL spots now occupied with true starters for the following 2 - 3 seasons. The results showed on the field as the offense became who carried the team through the season. The team was left in a position to develop depth and find a long-term solution for the center position. 2025: What 2023 Should've Been? Projected OL LT: Ikem Ekwonu  LG: Damien Lewis C : Austin Corbett/Cade Mays RG: Robert Hunt RT: Taylor Moton What Might Happen?: The biggest question mark is obviously the center position and who comes away as the starter? Icky and TMo have been the only constants on this OL, but there was rumours this offseason that TMo has knee issues. Icky is going to be due a payday soon as well. BC provides a high-quality second-stringer at every position, but the team still needs to develop some young backups. Zavala and Kingston both provide depth at guard, but the team looks a little thin at tackle with Nijman and Walton being the next two up there. If the starting unit can remain healthy, especially the tackles, the team can continue to build off of the progress that they made in the second half of the 2024 - 2025 season.

      The Evolution of the Panthers WR Room from 2023 to 2025

      By Panthercougar68 · Posted

      Darin Gnatt made a comment on the Kyle Bailey show yesterday that it’s night and day with all positions since 2023. He stated that you can see the level of competition is much better and deeper because each group now has not just the starter competition but general roster competition which has been lacking for years. You’re gonna see Panther players actually picked up by teams at final roster cuts.
