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.

      I'm salty every time I see someones mid picks become stars while we throw first and second rounders over and over and they all stink outside of Tet (who still has a lot to prove, imo)

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      There is a contingent that is total Bryce but they weathervane with the wind. When the good Bryce wind blows about once or twice a month we hear a lot from them. But they are always pro Bryce, they just don’t pipe up too much when he sucks. I can’t speak for them, as far as what they are looking at.    In a second contingent, the collective mind is made up. He has had had basically three years worth of starts that might include a top tier outing or two, a few second tier outings, offset by about the same number of bottom tier outings which actually may have the edge there.  The rest of his stuff is third tier and that is going to be the bulk of his starts. We want to move on. And we aren’t getting off of that hill until he puts us off of it. He has not.    There is a third contingent that has no conviction and definitely weather vanes. Bryce is good. Bryce isn’t good. Depending on the latest game. They will buy into 7 on 7 success so that should tell you something.
