Well I'll take a page out of your book.

How about you go find the last post I brought him up on my own?

I hope you're talking about Steve Smith. Because if you're under the impression that I'm talking about Gettleman, well, let's just say your reading comprehension could use some work.

Oh, I read your post. Just not the part you were quoting. That's my bad.

What I find funny though is that even in this response, you don't deny constantly talking about Gettleman.

He really does seem to be an obsession of yours.

Dude, we have like 3 or 4 Gettleman threads in the first page of this subforum alone, and I didn't create any of them. We're all here talking about him. If you're going to stand on a pedestal about something, at least try to actually know what you're talking about.

Talking about him in a thread that's about him is fine.

Talking about him in every other thread, every chance you get, not so much.

And if you think I'm the only one who sees this in you, think again.

Well if you're upset about that, let me tell you, it just tears me up inside.

I'll have to disagree about Funchess. He's only like 23, and honestly he's already a solid #2. Funny that I'm the one saying this considering I'm supposed to be the biggest DG hater here lol.

Now the KB pick is where you can criticize him. We shouldn't have drafted two identical WR's. One should compliment the other. I'll give Ron his share of blame for the pick as well, you know he had input there.

Yeh we can get into a KB or Funchess is better thing— obviously irrelvevant now that KB is gone. Funchess is younger, much actually and yes he can still improve(I personally don’t think he will, hope truly I’m wrong, gladly eat crow) and yes he’s a poor mans Moose. 

I dont think KB was a bad pick, I think he was a great pick— GMan drafting Funchess while letting Ron keep Shula with KB here too was stupid.

i mean having Funchess Ginn and KB on the field at the same time would have been lights out. KB has his faults but much was fixable— had a want to for blocking, can’t fix that, have to have it— can fix man grabbing corners for deliverate holds.

Norv would have had KB running the routes he’s good at, deep slants, outs, those 50/50 end zone catches etc. 

we wont get to see that now.

i liked DG, didn’t like a lot of the draft choices but liked him until Josh Norman thinking that he would draft the hell out of 5th round CB in the 2nd and 3rd round like a dumbass and somehow they would immediately be as good as Norman and Bene were at the time.

bene was good,... with Norman— somehow fell apart when Josh left.

then Ginn,... wow... thinking that Sheppard who has worst hands than ME, Charles Johnson and Underwood would all somehow replace the worlds fastest man Ha

then threatening Greg Olsen and TD— ala Jordan Gross. 

Just too cute, too money ball—

I'm really trying to understand how you're processing this.

You're telling me to stop talking about Gettleman. But your post history in the last month is literally at least 80% about Hurney or Gettleman and everything in between.

You actually think you're so far above the fray right now?

You're borderline delusional man.

[Jon Snow]

Gettlemen is the GOAT.  fug you detractors.

Nice attempt, but no.

If you actually did look back at my posts you'll find a lot of talk about coaching prospects. Occasional looks at other things, but I've been heavily focused on that pretty much since Shula was let go. Other topics I've started have been about random stuff (including just now).

And only one of us will use any opportunity to start talking about Gettleman. (Hint: it's not me)

Like I said dude, find something else to talk about.

So far, I have to admit I'm pleasantly surprised. I'm still distrustful, mainly due to boneheaded decisions in training camp and Hurney's history. But the trade of Benjamin and the firing of Shula have given me hope that maybe perhaps Hurney has learned a few things. The real test will come in free agency and the draft. If Hurney can direct just one successful off-season, then the 2018 Panthers could be the first to have a consecutive winning season and could perhaps challenge for the Super Bowl. If Hurney does old Hurney things, this team is gonna spin out of control like a top that's lost momentum

I think it’s about time we let go some of the aging veterans before it’s a year late. If he can free up  enough cap from the cuts & with slight increase in cap we should be able to extend new core players while adding  some mid level FA vets.

The irony.

old and tired is this dumb thread being created taking a ridiculous headline and running with it. the tri-state media market has a lot of resentment towards mcadoo over some of the things that transpired in the 2017 season. so of course they want to put a spin on gettleman’s comments to create excitement and buzz about the giants’ future, and in turn, it’s being used here to re-affirm everybody’s hatred for the guy.

and let’s not pretend that a lot of you guys don’t act like it was steve smith’s birthright to retire a panther. when gettleman cut him, that’s when he passed the point of no return as a perceived asset.

I didn't want to get rid of Smith,  but understand why Gettleman did it---at least what he indicated.  He said that basically Smith was done (although I think that Gettleman was absolutely premature in that assessment). My biggest problem was and always will be the way that he got rid of Smith.  He was an unprofessional, class one A-hole about the entire matter.  And,  his "A-holish" ways continued throughout his time here.  The man obviously has no tact. This McAdoo thing is at worst a "shot." At best,  it's just a reaffirmation that Gettleman needs to think before he speaks and put professionalism,  common decency and decorum a little higher on his priority list. 

All that being said,  my main issue with him was his dogmatic approach to team building.  I don't hate the guy,  I hate the way he always left the team more incomplete than it had to be. Simple!

you really need to get some thicker skin dude. about smith’s departure, gettleman’s demeanor, everything. it’s more likely he’s not slighting mcadoo and nj.com is just taking a soundbyte out of context and framing it in a way to entertain their readership bc every giants fan hates mcadoo forever for benching eli. 

the NY market is a shark tank. and gettleman’s not going to mince words while trying to get a point across like everybody wanted him to in carolina. it’s not gettleman’s fault that jerry ran this place like a mickey mouse organization for the last 20 years, and job security was based on appeasement to the meal tickets, instead of putting a better product on the field. i couldn’t give less of a fug how smith felt about getting cut. say what you want about the guy, but he made the tough decisions that hurney never did (when papa jerry let him), and he made them knowing that ppl weren’t going to be happy and it didn’t phase him. we all wanted a hard ass after 2012 when hurney got fired bc he had no answer for JR about why the team was 1-5 and we were in cap hell. and then we got one and we ended up hating him for being a hard ass and cutting guys that weren’t approaching their role on the team with any discipline.

and if gettleman fails in NY, at least he’ll fail knowing definitively that the decisions that were made were his own, not like here where there’s pressure and influence from ron, jerry, the players, the top cats, probably brandon beane, and whoever the hell else. i know the giants owners wanted a pats coach, but they deferred to dave and endowed him with the appropriate level of authority to make the hire he wanted. in contrast, dave came in here and had no control over who was going to be a part of the coaching staff from day one. i bet they don’t have weekend log cabin getaways with bed checks in new york either.

and the part about him not bringing enough personnel in to fill the holes is bullshit. he provided the coaches with enough talent to be contenders every year. if they want to try to stick square pegs in round holes and have a shitty two minute drill then there’s no amount of talent you can bring in to win a championship with that. this isn’t basketball, and you can’t just buy your way to a championship. strategy just plays way too big a part here.

[TheRed]

If you're still eagerly groveling in defense of the GM of another team, it's a bit disingenuous to tell someone else to get thicker skin.

This isn't the Giants forums.

We can direct you there if need be.
