Gettleman's pre-draft press conference on Tuesday

[CoastalCat]

I thought of a couple of possible names but quick research tells me it wasn't them.

 

 

Cameron Wake started with the Giants in 2005 while GMan was Pro Personnel Director. Been to 4 pro bowls though.

[Bartin]

It'd have to be the Giants.  He hasn't been here long enough for anyone he cut to make three Pro Bowls.

 

 

Could be the Broncos as well.

That's a solid guess, but he wasn't drafted by the Giants.  He was an undrafted FA.  Maybe Gettleman was speaking metaphorically.  

[scarface]

he is so going to take DGB if he sat him down and tawked to him

I am pretty sure he is talking about Shane Ray.

One of the only former players drafted by the Panthers that was cut and ended up going to the Pro Bowl is Evan Mathis.  

[Mr. Scot]

Hadn't thought of that.  Valid point.

That was before Gettleman though.

I won't lie. I just wasted 45 minutes going through the entire draft history of the Bills, Broncos and Giants while Gettleman was there and I couldn't find a single player that met the criteria Gettleman laid out or even came close really.

 

I think he was either speaking metaphorically or taking an example of a player from another team and using it as his own. He was still correct about setting a plan for an injured guy and sticking to it though so whatever. He got his point across.

Did he say that they drafted the player that he cut, or was he just saying that projections are tough?

[Fidel Cashflow]

Gotta love Gettleman

[LinvilleGorge]

I don't think Gettie liked when people rated his draft as a C

 

I don't think he cared, I just think he liked rubbing it in their faces.  They rated his draft as a C- when their analysis of his draft was an F.

[Fidel Cashflow]

Gettleman should have a presser every month. The guy is great to listen to.

[TheWiz]

There was a moment in the press conference where Dave sounded like this....

[top dawg]

I am pretty sure he is talking about Shane Ray.

Did we even work out Ray?

[AceBoogie]

I have said it before and I will say it again.

 

Best Panther hire ever.

 

For those who will miss it, the text version:

 

"Well, in the foist round we are looking at some blue geeses, or is it blue gooses? Anyway, a hog mollie could fall to us and that is good because Tom Cah-flin once told me that you win with the big guys.  Pass rushas are impoitant, so don't fuhget about the pass rushas. Any questions?" (sips water and unbuttons his shirt again)." 

We went 7-8-1 bruh chill out
