Still loving Gettleman?

[TheRed]

Apparently becoming a member to this site means you've just become a fan of the panthers. That's a completely ignorant thing to say. Stop trolling

Are you referring to tiger7_88? He literally became a fan of the team because we drafted Cam Newton. He's an Auburn Tigers fan. Ask him yourself.

What exactly do you think the "tiger" in his name means?

If you need any other assistance following along in this thread, let me know sweetheart.

Yep. Still loving Gettleman. I'm really looking forward in what he can do in years 3-5 when he's completely out of Hurney's mess.

This thread is going down the sh***ter. Not that I'm surprised though.

[Ruff]

This will be an interesting thread to see at the end of this coming season.

Don't forget the 7 second pause on Cam.

[ecualumni06]

One word yes.

We keep smith great we don't and still win great. Winning is most important. Period

[Khaki Lackey]

Don't forget the 7 second pause on Cam.

The one that preceded the 12-4 season and playoff berth? Who gives a damn? Maybe if it was a 10 second pause we would've won the Super Bowl.

Problem is, most of the Panthers fans are Mayberry, Andy Griffith born and raised.  There is nothing wrong with that as long as you are in a vacuum.

Problem is...the NFL is not in that vacuum.

 

You people expect this franchise to operate inside the "deep south" way of doing things in which loyalty is valued above all else.  We tried that, and Hurney displayed how foolish that is and how horribly it works.

 

Gettleman has no back-woods in him and many of you are not only uncomfortable with it, most of you can't comprehend it.

 

Performance with projected performance equals payday, performance with projected diminishing returns equals aloha.

 

This would be a non-issue in New York.

Well since this is how things are done in New York, I guess the Giants front office should currently be publicly distancing themselves from Eli Manning through the media. Oh, you mean to tell me they aren't? They actually had a dialogue with him, and decided to hire a new offensive coordinator? Interesting.

So far so good

 

Never-mind the few sissies in here who need a tampon change because all players are being evaluated.

 

Steve should feel more betrayed by Hurney for all those years he gave him 0 help on the outside, not to mention making the team suffer through a Jimmy Clausen season.

 

I know which GM(former) the players should logically feel hate for.

keep the D strong and that could be a reality.

That's your prerogative. But if people are honest, everyone knows that special employees that are valued more highly than others in any organization are treated "differently" than the rest.  Furthermore, I don't see Steve Smith as the quintessential diva. He's just a hard-nosed, hard working, no nonsense type of a guy.

 

It makes sense to discuss a player's status in the exit interview, and it's also just common human courtesy to give someone a heads-up about their situation before you discuss their situation in the media.  That should be any player.   A more seasoned GM would probably know this. And to say that he was just answering a question, or just being honest is unacceptable. A better response would have been:

 

"Steve Smith has been a very important part of the team, and he continues to be a part of the puzzle. Next question." 

 

You say something while saying nothing at the same time.  That is always the best course of action when the media is throwing you tough questions.  G-man gave the reporter a gift, and fell into the mouth of the shark, hook, line and sinker.

 

Special players/employees are treated differently but if they aren't producing anymore they are no longer special for the present or future. Steve has been special for the past 10+ years and he deserves alot of credit for that but going forward he is no longer special. 

 

It is kinda like a car. It has been the cornerstone of your life but after 10+ years the car is starting to breakdown. There comes a time when you say man it is not worth taking this car to get fixed anymore.

I don't deny that the media is blowing it up, but to not at least give him a slight heads up that you may be considering ending his 13 year employment and then also not return his agent's calls, seems shady.

 

I don't really think the media is blowing it up tbh. They reported a direct quote and inferred what every other logical human being would from the quote. People being so quick to criticize the media should really take off the blinders and accept that Getleman has handled the 89 situation about as bad as a GM possibly could.

the giants are a non issue so I fail to see the point.
