Some Love For DG

I personally like what Gettleman has done in Carolina thus far.  The Gaffney/Barner/Kugbila drafting aside, Avant & Cotchery look like good acquisitions.  No GM is perfect, but his record looks like DG is doing much more positive things here, than bad. It's been awhile since we've gotten a good Gettleman quote.

gotta add the OL situation and potentially hardy. 

 

overall, he has done a hell of a job. 

 

but man, i really wish we can sure up the OL after next year.

[Who Said What?]

With our salary cap issues, I am ecstatic that we are fielding a team this competitive week in and week out.  When he gets the room to make moves, our team might not have any holes.

Gettleman is a genius and the GOAT.

[Soul Rebel]

Agree totally.... Carolina wasn't built in a night, but DG has done wonders with what was given to him.  He has shown an eye for drafting talent too, which is huge for us.  Just truly shows how horrible Hurney was here.

He is in Ozzie Newsome league of GMs

 

I think it's too early to say that just yet.

 

He's done a good job so far.

His mistakes are much easier to live with than Hurney's, cause he's not afraid to admit to said mistake, and part ways.

I can live with the occasional 4-7th rounder not panning out. Hell, that happens to almost every team every year. It's the 2-7th high percentage bust rate that I'm not going to miss.

What has Ozzie Newsome actually done in the past 4-6 years? I don't know much about their team and to be honest am not sure why he gets so much credit. Look up every draft after the Flacco draft and tell me what makes him so great. I see a lot of drafts in the past that weren't so successful. What made Newsome amazing was a great run of probowl/hall of fame 1st round pics. Lately...not impressed. 

 

I love what DG has done and how he has been finding late round gems. I hope it can continue!

I have a friend who's a Giants fan, and he misses Gettleman a lot.

According to the article, we were $15M in the hole when DG arrived....crazy to think what he's done.

In the article it also mentions a formula that reminds me of a moneyball kind of approach. As long as the front 7 and Cam Newton are in place, the parts around these areas can be interchanged on the cheap.

Great post.  Many GM's will not admit mistakes and continue to feed that mistake to justify their actions.  DG has integrity and character.  I've said it since I joined the Huddle, this man will take us to the promise land.

I bet he's not alone

 

It still qualifies as 'coincidence' to me at this point, but if we continue to be successful and the Giants continue to decline, it would become the sort of thing that would make one wonder.

[Soul Rebel]

Never linked the two, but it makes sense. Manning and Cruz have declined sharply and the running game has been horrible for the NYG. Maybe not restocking the toolshed could be the reason.
