Gettleman's biggest weakness IMO


Recommended Posts

So, we all know Gettleman and his crew can draft.  If we look back over the past 3 years, no one in the league has been better.  

 

However, Gettleman is atrocious at gauging other teams interest in a prospect.  This causes him to consistently draft players based on his perceived value, and not the league consensus value.  He wastes draft picks trading up for players who more than likely would have been available. And takes players rounds early.

 

We can never be certain of this however.  With the players off the board, we can never be certain they wouldn't have been swipped and we can only see the "media experts" draft boards.  But, I hope Gman gets a better handle on this in the future.

You won't make it in life worrying about what other people think.  GMan has the gumption to stick to this beliefs when the tide is against him.  You have to do you and let it play out.  There's a ying and a yang to everything; with him there's a whole lot more good than bad.

And just how do you know this "league consensus value"? G-Mans "perceived value" is based on a draft board the Panthers spent a couple of million dollars building. Basically fan and media boards are crap.

Worley could've been picked in the 3rd. Pick 62 is barely a round 2 pick....and I really don't get the Bradberry thing but the other guys that were avail weren't home runs. Kendall Fullers knee is fuged. This Laraven Clark guy was one of the worst OT I've ever seen at the Senior Bowl. Braxton Miller is Armanti Edwards with a bum shoulder. I would've rather had Jeremy Cash or Austin Hooper at 62, but ultimately fans like us and the Mayocks and Kipers of the world don't know true value of guys. It truly doesn't matter where other teams rank guys man, there's 32 teams, it only takes one to take your player.

One the one hand, I think you make a really great point and I wish Gettleman wouldn't trade up for some prospects who would very likely be there when we picked anyways.

On the other hand: I think Gettleman is going about this the right way. If you like a guy, go get him and forget what people think (mama taught me that years ago...)

I'm still trying to gauge why people considers last years draft some huge success? Last season was the first time in forever none of our rookies were even the race for ROY.

Till this day I still say we reached on Shaq and Funchess. Shaq won't even become a full time starter till 2 or 3 years, Funchess couldn't beat out Cotchery.

And what if some team "reached" and scooped up the exact same players, causing Gettleman to REALLY start scrambling. Gettleman went out and got who he wanted on his terms instead of hoping another team doesn't pick them up. It only takes one team to take your player and I have a good feeling it happened tons before our picks so Gettleman just said fug it.

If some team is willing to trade UP to draft a KICKER in round 2, then Gettleman can't trust the other 31 GMs to know what their doing and put the same value Gettleman does on players. Quite frankly, that's how he can find players like KK and Trai Turner in the 2nd and 3rd rounds

if the panthers used all their draft picks this year, realistically, not all of them would've made the 53

trading lower round picks to get guys that you really like seems like good business to me

and does "league consensus value" mean anything when guys like dimitrioff are in that consensus?

    • True.  Sam and Baker did not do well here but went on to better things under better coaching, circumstances or both.  The real question is, ‘why aren’t the Panthers able to get improved performance out of ‘broken toys’, similar to Minnesota and Tampa? That is a rhetorical question.  I think we know the answer.   [The cultural reference to Pogo dates me, I admit.]
    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.  
    • I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch
