Do Gettleman and Co Feel the Panthers Overachieved Last year?


Kevin Greene

Recommended Posts

Gettleman came in last year pretty clearly under the impression that it was going to take a while to field a good team and that it was going to have to be done his way.

While I'm sure he enjoyed the winning season, I think a part of him feels it was a burden because it only strengthens the ties to that succesful team when he is deadset determined to tear it all down and build it up his way. I think he feels it was an inconvenience in his ultimate goal to build his own roster. The way he has handled the 89 situation reeks of nothing but "No, this is my team" and it bleeds of arrogance. He better be successful and I don't mean two or three seasons from now. We had the nucleus to be good next year and stay good but I believe he is so wrapped up in tearing down the poor situation he perceived himself walking into last year that he is trying to force "new era" type moves, regardless of the logic.

I don't get that feeling at all. Dude has consistently been preaching how with all personal decisions and drafting that it has been a group effort and everyone in the room has had a voice. That doesn't seem like arrogance at all. He could easily just do things his way like you are saying he's doing but everything he's said and done has said other wise

That sounds jolly, but we've seen it not mean anything in practice. Gettleman himself said in post draft interviews last year that there were differences of opinion and that he made the call he felt was best. For his sake he better hope it works out and again, I don't mean three or four seasons from now.

People want to keep every player who ever did anything good and do not understand the market.  Relax.  Sit back and let teams overspend for Lafell, Ginn, Mitchell, Smith.  Also remember, we are not going to be able to spend a lot of money because Hurney overpaid B level RB's (the least valuable position in football).  

 

We are going to wait and sign veterans in the secondary and at receiver that are cheaper and comprable to what we had.  Does anyone honestly think Brandon Lafell is hard to replace? 

 

Gettleman said the it will be priority to get Cam more weapons.  Would you rather have an aging Steve Smith, an average Brandon Lafell, and Journeyman Ted Ginn....or rebuild the recieving corps with young guys that can grow with Cam?

 

A championship can be won in free agency.   Maybe the Broncos will win the Superbowl this year.  But success in the long term, like the Patriots, is built around finding value in guys everyone else overlooks, and smart drafting.  Gettleman did a great job of that last year, so everybody needs to let him do his thing.

I'm not sure, I know they wanted to see Cam get some winning drives and have the team in contention. The problem was always going to be this season though. Gross was never coming back and the team just doesn't have the cap space to get a Lt that can come in and play up to gross' level. All the free agents in the secondary and wr's was always going to be a problem.

Unless one believes the FO should rely on a voting system and the end of the day someone is going to have to make the final call above everybody else. That doesn't mean that voices weren't heard or they didn't contribute to Gettlemen's final decision.
