What's taking Gettis so long?

Now I don't know if his injury was more severe than TD's, but how in the world does the guy coming off his 3rd ACL tear, many years older, and what, 2 months less time since the injury, get back on the field before Gettis?

It's just frustrating to me because I really thought he'd not only be our #2 this year, but take over for Smitty as our #1 outside WR at some point during the season to allow Smitty to move inside and wreak havoc like Welker does against nickle backs.

His size and speed combination would be absolutely killer with Cam throwing him the ball, I really see him as a faster version of Colston

He pulled a hammy so I think they just wanna make sure he doesn't get injured whatsoever.

He needs to be practicing right now though or Murphy/Tutu will take his spot.

yeah, optimism sucks.

no, homer-ism sucks, we have been so desperate for a second WR for so long, anybody that lines up opposite no.89 our fans think he is heir to the throne, when in reality, they couldn't make any other team but ours...Adams might have a chance as a slot guy, but Gettis, Pilares and Edwards shouldn't be more then practice squad players

You're right. Your "This guy sucks, that guy sucks. You're all stupid." mentality is so much less annoying.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      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.
