Wow: Norman tried firing his agent and signing the tender, but Gettleman had already rescinded

I've got an idea for all the Josh lovers, go get you a Norman Foreskins jersey and root for them this coming season.  We won't miss you as the Panthers spank that ass of every team. 

You really shouldn't be telling anyone this. The first bit of adversity this team faces, you're ready to trade everyone or chalk up the season as a lost cause. We can expect your overreaction after the first preseason game.

Sit this one out, champ.

Alright, sorting my thoughts out on this one. Really does stink knowing that Josh could've been a Panther this year, but his agent from the great land of nothing proved to be quite terrible at his job. It stinks.

That might be you. Sounds like I hit nerve about Norman and you decided to start something. Get over it dude, he's no longer on the team and I'm pretty sure you don't get paid one way or the other.

Itll be interesting to see if this is one of DGs first mistakes.

First mistakes? He's done some great things while he's been here, and he's also done some completely moronic things. That 3-8-1 start to 2014 was directly his fault. Gettleman thought Byron Bell and Nate Chandler was an acceptable tackle tandem, Gettleman signed Decoud and Cason, Gettleman cut Steve Smith and forced us to rely heavily on an unpolished rookie. The Hardy situation played a big part too, but other than drafting KB and Turner, Gettleman's 2014 offseason was an absolute blunder. 

I love that Gettleman has gotten us out of a terrible cap situation and drafted well and built a good mix of talented youth and savvy veterans, but the idea that people on here think he's the primary reason that we made a Super Bowl this year is laughable. You look at our 8 best players from last year, which in my opinion would be Cam, Stew, Olsen, Kalil, Short, Luke, TD and Norman, all of them but Short were already here before Gettleman. We also already had a coach that's put together dominant defenses everywhere he's been with different systems and different levels of talent in different positions. Combine that with the most dangerous dual-threat QB to ever play the game and it's not hard to see why we've been good for the last 3 years.

Again, I love the guy and we're lucky to have him, but it blows my mind how people really think every move he's made has been a homerun and overvalue how much he's really been responsible for our success

Nah, but thanks for your opinion.

G-man wanted to start the rebuilding process this year.

G-man became convinced he had norman at best one year. So, G-man said what's better starting over now or waiting 24 months to do it. This agent didn't do his homework on G-man. G-man is going to do what is best for the team period. 

All the agent had to do is convince g-man there was hope norman would have been there long term. It sounds like the agent tried to play a hardball game with g-man. G-man took the game and face value and did what he does best, he started finding new talent.

This agent sucks.

And how is this supposed to change anyone's opinion? Even if this were true, Norman still had a chance to come back and sign with us. He chose to sign with the Redskins. So, fug him.

And the "player fans" vice the team fans queue up here...

NOW.

If me inciting enough people to trash you for the tantrum you throw every single time we miss a tackle is enough to compel you not to do it out of pride then I've gotten more than Norman has this week

Only way to come back after than was on a deal that was $4mil per season below his worth.

 

Cool.

Bye Josh!

said it before and I'll say it again, this was a dumb move by DG. made no sense on any level.

The reason we got out of cap hell is because of what he did in 2014. The tag on Hardy in retrospect was horrible.  They wanted to keep that front 7 that won us so many games in 2013 together so it made sense. But 2014 could not be helped when we were purging contracts left and right and signing cheap players while veterans were retiring. We just lacked talent and the talented players we did have were young and still getting their feet wet.

 

and no I don't think he's perfect but he's general manager of the year for a reason.

No, it's not. It's his job to do what's in the best interest of the team.  

And he did.

No matter what fans named "LinvilleGorge" insist on him doing.

Amirite?
