Hurney purge continues....killing the ghost

[TheRed]

Jesus, HOW QUICK you people forget that the man inherited a HORRIBLE salary cap situation, was able to rework SEVERAL contracts to get cap space and still found a way to sign a lot more FA's then ANYONE would have thought possible.

 

Im not a fan or a hater, but considering the circumstances in which DG was thrown into he has done quite well.

 

Don't forget he probably had RR telling him every day he could win with this team and they were right on the breaking point. Being  DG was going to have to give RR this year regardless, he was probably thinking PROVE IT.

 

 

 

I think the man has done a commendable job considering what he took over.

 

If you actually look at some of those restructures, we just pushed a lot of it back to later years to drop our cap hit this year. There's really no excuse for our disaster of an offensive line. Again, I'm not saying Gettleman is entirely at fault, but he is not free of blame here.

He doesnt over spend for them

If that's the only qualification we needed for our GM, to not overspend, then we are in trouble.

[Gabeking]

Right after Gettleman raises the Titanic, you guys can ask him to fix our cap situation and fill the roster with talent in only one offseason

Not before he divides by zero

Cap?  Dont forget:

 

The Panthers (1-2) will have to absorb $8 million in dead money against the salary cap.

Question 1.12

What happens if a player is traded or retires?

Answer: We already know that if a player is waived on or before June 1, the remaining signing bonus that has not been included in salary “accelerates” and is included in that year’s team salary. Acceleration also occurs when a player is traded or waived and picked up by another team. The new team is not responsible for any of the original signing bonus. The team that waived or traded the player is responsible for the accelerated signing bonus (in the same manner as described above). - http://www.askthecommish.com/SalaryCap/Faq.aspx

If he knew that his plan included doing the minimum possible to help us win this year, then he and JR have just said a big "Fug You" to the players and fans.

 

Wouldn't be the first time.

And I think most of us are saying you have set WAY too high expectations for a guy who inherited a big ole pile of CRAP as a GM...

 

just cause you go out and spend money or sign high profile FA's doesn't = wins....... See cowgirls

 

Or Matt Millen in Detroit...

 

Patience is hard to discover... Suggest you start trying. This team will continue to get better, but it will take time.

Again. I guess I'm going to have to spell this out for you like I did the other guy.

 

Nobody is saying to sign all the top FA's. You can sign quality players to your team without handing them record contracts.

 

Example? Ted Ginn Jr.

[PantherGuy]

Doesn't make it right.

 

We could have fired Rivera in the offseason and gotten it over with. JR didn't want to pay two coaches at once though.

 

That isn't Gettleman's fault. But that also strikes me as speculation.

[TheRed]

That isn't Gettleman's fault. But that also strikes me as speculation.

 

It's such speculation that Jerry Richardson has already done it twice. This year with Rivera, and in 2010 with John Fox.

 

What do we know though, right?

[PantherGuy]

I'm not going to take lessons on intelligence from a guy with NCstoner420 as his username. Keep the insults.

 

People can sit around and hope that Gettleman is ultimately in charge, but he isn't. JR is, truth hurts.

 

Of course Gettleman isn't in charge. JR is the owner. Not Gettleman. But there is such a thing as delegation, whereby the owner allows the GM to do what he thinks is best for the football side of the franchise...

[Porn Shop Clerk]

my speculation is JR is more the type to honor a contract, not that he doesn't want to pay two coaches

IMO you're still assuming this. Maybe you just need someone to blame.

[Happy Panther]

Barner was done bc we need to part with double trouble

Klein was done bc of Beason and Davis being so fragile

Everything DG has done has been about setting up for 2014. Been saying it....

If he wanted us to win now with RR....he would have fixed our OL (which would have given our O a shot at being consistent). He didn't and wasn't going to waste resources on a O he would soon scrap.

Double down on DT was to build a NY D.

 

Not really interested in your reasonable and insightful/intelligent posts

If you can't make a difference in 9 months with a poo situation you've been handed, gtfo.-TheRed logic. lol
