The truth....once D.G.left the Gmen....team started to decline

Just to point this out to a few on here. After Dave left that team,it started a tailspin. I believe that his input with personal decisions really helped make them what they where.If this keeps up for them, the head coach might not make it through the season. We are lucky to have ths guy as the GM. His personal evaluation skills are top notch and he has begun to fix the cap issues. There is no doubt he will have the Panthers playing winning ball for many seasons to come. That would be something this team and the fans have never known before.

This may make me sound silly but, I had no idea how much  good GM could affect a team is such a short time. I am really impressed with the work he has done. I am also glad that he has shown some patience with his evaluation of Ron Rivera. I really think that Ron (especially when he develops more of a mean streak, like Bellisuck) will be a great coach. Sometimes he strikes me as just a little too nice. He must insist that his offensive coordinator keeps up the heat until the end or at least until victory is assured. I admit that it may be easier said than done, however. But yeah Gettleman is and will be a huge part of the process which is turning our team into a powerhouse. Yes...powerhouse!!!

I just New York needs a new identity. Has nothing to do with who the old assistant GM was. As good as they've both been in the past, maybe it's time to move on from Manning and Coughlin. If they suck this year they can land one of Mariota, Winston, Hundley or Petty.

True point in this thread, the Giants are awful, but lets face it, the entire NFC East is complete garbage (minus Eagles).  They have taken over the award that used to go to the NFC West.  It's looking like only the division winner will go to the playoffs, somewhere around 9-7.

I think the Giants sucking and our progress has plenty to do with g man.  The guy is a great talent evaluator.  With the rules of the NFL set up so that every team has the same purse to play with, you need to find diamonds in the rough in order to have success.  And g man is an ace at that job.

Another interesting Gettleman fact: the more The Huddle whines about his decisions has proven to be a reliable indicator of how good they are. I never heard as much complaining about Hurney as I hear about Gettleman, because, like the average fan, Hurndog had no business running an NFL franchise.

Gmen was the brains behind all the defensive drafting and stocking up during the offseason with the giants. They just used to load up every off season - now guess who's bringing in defensive line free agents from South Africa if need be. If and god forbid hardy was not to play - we wouldn't even feel it.

Getts is that good.

    • Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time. 
    • If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.
    • Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
