No Joke: The players apparently didn't like Gettleman

[The_Mango55]

While I'm fine with his strategy, posters have to accept what comes with it.

 

I don't want to see any more posters bitching about players being greedy. That's a double standard.

[top dawg]

You think Gross converted in just a season? After trying to play with his money, I doubt it.

 

Hey, man, let me delude myself. There is a chance...

[frash.exe]

Gettleman is raising the standard here. He's not going to dole out ridiculous contracts to marginal talents like Hurney did. How would anybody be surprised that the players weren't very happy when a real authority showed up? That's like being pissed that a stricter parent came home and stopped playtime when it got a little raucous. Sure the fun part of the day is over, but now we're eating dinner instead of having a mighty max wedged up someone's nostril eventually.

Yeah, we all knew what had to be done, but the Smitty thing...Who can honestly say that they saw that coming?   Who would have thought even three weeks ago that Smitty's time as a Panther was coming to an end?

[Kurb]

I don't care if players like a GM, as long as they respect him.

is one-sided respect really respect?

[Gabeking]

All I have to say is its about time. Gettleman can make the tough decisions and JR can give the group hugs. It's time for this organization to grow a set of balls. Just win. Just give me, as a fan, the ability to thump my chest and tell every asshole I see in Charlotte with Steelers gear or Cowboys gear to go suck it because my team is better than the team they bandwagon hopped.* That's all I ask.

*I do this anyway but it'd be nice to have the team to back me up on a consistent basis.

Like Ben and Chris in parks and rec lol

Accountability...such a novel, scary, and foreign concept to some.  

[Semaj]

And he really shouldn't. It's a business and it's about winning championships. Not giving huge contracts to people that don't deserve them because they are good guys or have been with the team a long time

Yep. Welcome to the real world. The one in which I and most of the rest of the civilized world lives in.

Of course they don't like him, he's a prick.

Yeah, but there are two sides to every story...

 

Part of the American way is to use a motherfuger up as long as you can, while giving him the lowest wage, and then put his ass out to pasture if he's lucky---lucky enough not to be sent to the glue factory.

[The Huddler]

My dad was an asshole but he got the most out of me. Gettleman ain't here to be friends with you and give you way more money than you deserve. ..

Mother fuger the more I think about it the more it gets me fired up. Yeah no poo he was about money look at the bullshit he walked into! Holy poo man I'm behind gettleman 100%

something that i think several posters in here aren't getting.

 

didn't ≠ don't

 

gross said he didn't at first, but does now. 

[top dawg]

Gross likes him now, for what it's worth.  Perhaps this is the general sentiment, unlike what many of you are trying to suggest.

As was posed to me, do you really believe that Gross actually likes Gettleman? Really? **in deep voice** Really? **in deeper voice**
