The Official Gettleman Poll

[PanthersFanNY]

Voted no. I think (or hope) that he has a grand plan and just needs more time to get it together. I imagine once Hurney's mistakes are gone he'll adequately address the offensive line and that alone will be a big step forward.

I just hope he makes the right decision with Cam.

[SOJA]

No he gets an A for last year and an F for this year. He's earned one more year. Rivera has largely been a failure save for last year, it's time to move on from him.

I would. I made my points in the other thread. Basically, I feel like Gettleman is being kept because he might be good, but there's other, more proven options out there, and some of them already have links to the Panthers.

Like who?

Tom coughing carolina Panthers 2015 calling it now so no...

Specifically, Tom Gamble would be my favorite. He helped Baalke build the team in San Fran, he then went to the Eagles and helped Chip Kelly put together the new age offense as a personnel guy. He learned from Polian as a scout, even here in Carolina.

Dear god if that happens...

[PntherPryd]

wish the poll would not be anonymous.

Firing a GM after 2 seasons is a Browns move. Gettleman came in from day 1 saying that we'll be in cap hell rebuilding for at least 2 years. He needs time to see through his vision.

How is he "proven" as a GM though?  He's never been one, and no team he's been a part of has won a Super Bowl (2012 49ers made an appearanvce, but didn't win).

 

He's gathered interest, but calling him more 'proven' than Gettleman is a stretch.

Or a Raiders move...

 

(or a Madden move)

Gamble would just be my primary option, because of his understanding the new age NFL (as proven by the hirings of Harbaugh and Kelly during his tenure).

 

Of course, there is always Eric DeCosta and Brian Gaine, both who have actually been, in some capacity, assistant GMs. (Though, I seriously doubt DeCosta leaves Baltimore, unless a hefty sum is sent his way).

Kelly was hired before Gamble went to the Eagles.  He went back there in part because that's where his dad was team president and he considers them "his team".  And honestly you can't really give him any credit for the Harbaugh hire.

 

DeCosta is probably going to be good but yeah, he's never leaving Baltimore.  Researched Gaine before and wasn't all that impressed.

 

 

[Mr. Scot]

Obviously I'm not in favor of firing Gettleman, but I would definitely like to see him make some changes in the front office (especially the Pro Personnel department).
