Yep. Jerry’s hands are all over this team and have been for a while. It’s a breath of fresh air that we are going to see a new direction for this franchise in two years time. 

yea

 

if the panthers are going to suck through this transition, i hope the giants win it all next year

at least it’ll be funny to see ppl on here try to convince themselves that a 3-13 team went from the cellar of the NFC east to the lombardi in one year for some other reason that has nothing to do with gettleman, while hurney mortgages future draft picks for app state players and trades away all of our DT depth

This is fuging stupid. Gettleman took over a team that hadn't won in 4 years and a roster $15 million over cap despite being shambles at practically every position group outside of QB and linebacker. His drafting and free agent moves brought 4 playoff berths in 5 years, the best season in team history, and a trip to the Super Bowl. Anyone who compares our roster now to what it looked like when he took over and considers that a failure doesn't know dick about football.

After the debacle that was our WR core this evening unfolded while Ted Ginn burned our defense, you can take solace in a Gettleman wet dream? Geesh.

It's like ppl forgot that we had no money for the first 4 years but still got to the SB

Coaching is a way bigger problem than personnel.

We need 3 CBs, 2 Safety’s, a LB, a LT, RB, 2 WRs and you want to be the coaches

Ron has coached his ass off in spite of Gettleman.  Gettleman did absolutely nothing but make Ron's job harder (as well as the OC's and DC's, as well as Newton's, etc.).  Ron's biggest failing in my opinion is his reliance on Shula.  Just the way I see it. No need to argue about it.

There is a reason he got another GM position 6 months after being fired while Hurney sat on his ass for 5 years without a sniff.

DG was definitely not an issue.

Lol...this is the wake he left behind...

Signing Russell Shepard instead of re-signing Ted Ginn (similar contract #) turned out to be a massive mistake.  

I will admit at the time, I was fine with letting 33 year old Ginn walk.  Boy was I wrong 

[Fright]

Too much credit is given to DG for “fixing the cap issue.” Richardson paid whatever was needed to keep favorites. He stopped doing that and the cap fixed itself. DG is just a GM with an over inflated ego. A “football guy” who made more questionable signings (and lack thereof) and draft picks than Marty in my books. At least Marty gave huge contracts to players who produced (Delhomme is arguable), while DG refused contracts to proven players(Norman, Ginn, etc) and over paid for players who haven’t proven poo(primarily Matt). 

DG is overrated due to the success Cam brought to the team while he was here. The team wasn’t successful bc of DG, but bc of Cam. I feel fine with new ownership and Hurney, but I guess only time will tell.

Which is the most frustrating part. Because after the Super Bowl instead of making a couple tweaks and going into the year with the best roster in football and a potential dynasty in the making he tries to go Mr. Big Cock on Norman, wastes our 1st round pick on a luxury pick, and wastes the next two picks trying to hopefully find a Norman replacement. Imagine last year if we keep JNo, use our 1st rounder to replace Remmers, and use our 2nd on a safety after Harper got released
