Gettleman might just make the HOF before any other current Panthers

we don't have any real ones.

Halas trophy is very real, thank you.,

Gettleman deserves every award that exists for GM's. In just a few years he's dug us out of cap hell while managing to build an elite team that setup to be a SB contender for the next 5 years. He's identified and cultivated the talent he acquired while building around it on a shoe-string budget and he had the courage to part ways with some vet players that for one reason or another had run their course in our program.

All hail Gettleman!

LOL at teh Growl. "I am above all that piddley crap. I am all about the end results. If you ain't winning it all, you are just a loser." 

 

Coach of the year. Phsaw. You didn't win anything tangible. GM of the year. Yeah right. Gman gets an award for losing the big one. lol  And MVP. Well...Cam did deserve that one. Too bad he doesn't have a coach and GM that could build a team around him.

 

That my friends. Is outside the box thinking. But hey. At least he is on our minds. So he has that going for him.

Someone should probably let that idiot Jamie Dukes know.

actually i'm made of sturdier stuff than you (evidenced further by the cabin i've laid down in your mind that grips your thoughts even when i'm not around.) in fact, i'm completely unfazed by twitter awards as a whole, and wish management would've done enough to get us titles that hold real value.

The award comes from The Sporting News, not Twitter.

There probably no more idiotic sports fan persona than the "if we didn't win it all, we're just losers" fan.

in his defense, the reason we lost the superbowl (outside of horrendously one sided officiating) was because of our two weaknesses that were identified before the season started: weak OTs and WRs. i don't agree with his notion that these awards mean nothing, but i can see a rational argument somewhere in there.

 

side note: my iphone just auto-corrected the word "getting" to "Gettleman"

I have always strived to be objective when it comes to Gettleman. You have never seen me dog him out or schmooze with his jockstrap.

Looking at his relatively small body of work as GM, he has done some great things, and has made some great moves. He hasn't been perfect though. 

Patience is required when transitioning from one leader to another in an NFL organization even under the best circumstances, much less one that was in cap hell and still spinning its wheels from not only bad contractural decisions, but feeling the effects of purging key veteran leaders. Gettleman not only righted the ship and successfully maneuvered the waves, but he has also taken the organization to the place where the isle of paradise is always in view. 

With an understanding that even more patience may be required, and that the most steadfast championship-caliber teams don't dump their captains when paradise is always in view, how can anyone not want to give G-man even more time to actually step foot on the island and clutch the treasure---the Lombardi---amid all the fruits of being a consistent winner?

Like I said, he hasn't been perfect, but there is too much to like at this point in the Gettleman era than to dislike. Outside of Billy B (and maybe a couple of others), I think that G-man is one of the best in the business, notwithstanding an error here or there. Let's see how things are going in another five years.

Yeah I do have to admit some success is better than none. I could be a fan of the Lions for instance.
