Laugh at his nipple shorts and his Boston drawl all you want,but this guy is the real deal. Between managing our cap mess and getting value out of every decision so far (Kug may be the exception,nobody's perfect)this guy has done in a couple of years what the previous guy couldn't do in ten. Some may cry that he didn't pick this guy or that guy,but all his picks are a piece of his strategy to make the Panthers a force to be reckoned with for years to come. No I am not kissing his ass,just stating the facts as I see them.He takes no crap and does what has to be done.We are lucky to have him.

I remember last year, he made a comment about GMs thinking we'd make trades with them (it was something along those lines).  He laughed and pretty much told the league to fug off.  New guy's running the show and he's not getting pushed around.

Sometimes trading is a good thing. He needs to start thinking about trading down sometimes or atleast give teams some time to call about a trade. Sheesh quick on the selections he is.

I agree. Trades can be beneficial, whether it's trading up or down. I think blinders may be on a bit for Gettleman during the draft. "I want this player and fug you all".

It seems more like the guy we are targeting and hoping falls to us keeps landing in our lap.  If the guy you've wanted is there at your pick, you take him.  If he isn't or could fall to ur next pick then you think about trading.

it's a little early to be calling him a top gm

 

Agreed, part of being a top GM in this league is being able to keep your team competitive year in and year out. 

 

Dave hasn't been in the position long enough to demonstrate that yet.

 

However, all signs indicate he is well on his way.

To trade down requires a trading partner that wants to trade up.

 

And if there is a trading partner that wants to trade up, that trading partner has to make it worth your while to move down.

 

Y'all seem to be under the impression that Gettleman is turning down all these multiple trade offers to trade down that are too good to be true.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.

      Well I guess he should stop playing football. This was his defining moment and chance to prove he was generational and he failed. What a waste of football life..
