D.G.saved this season regardless of what some think

[Jmac]

D.G has his hands full trying to built a competitive team with the cap hell we are in.The Panthers have a P.R. dept that are paid to do that. J.R should also step up and be the face of the franchise when dealing with certain issues (e.g. Greg Hardy).

[Mr. Scot]

DG sucks at PR, but I like the way he's building the team so far.  As far as Hardy, DG is just doing what he knows to do.

 

Strahan, Cofield, Umenyiora, Mitchell, Kiwanuka, Tuck...

 

I think you'd agree we don't need a politician or a public speaker in that job.

 

We need a talent evaluator.

I think that you want good scouts, which we have, and someone with a good vision for how to build a team, which Gettleman seems to have.  In a few years I don't doubt that people will get used to the talent level and his faults will surface and people will start piling on.  It's just the way things seem to work.

 

Ideally, your GM should be able to execute a vision for the team, listen to his staff and make smart decisions, recruit good free agents, and hire good coaches.  So far the only thing we've really seen from Gettleman that would be truly different from most GMs is his vision for the team, and I have to say that I like it a lot.  But then, I have always liked defense...

[Mr. Scot]

I love that Gettleman has experience with actual game planning.

He did, and cried like a little bitch.

It is very amusing seeing all these people who screamed the sky is falling all off season and hated DG for no valid reason, there wasn't one reason to think he couldn't get the job done, now saying they knew all along we would be fine and just changing their argument to try and save face.

Cried like a little bitch....very nice. If it wasn't for him the only thing in Charlotte would be a bunch of cars going around an oval track for three hours.

Those kahunas need a little extra support.

Allows him to actually sit down with those huge balls

Him and kakow are 'a bloo bloo bloo I hope Steve smith has 20 catches for 250 yards and 4 touchdowns against the panthers that'll show gettledouche bawwwww everything the panthers did this off season is dumb and wrong don't they remember x clown' type posters so I wouldn't sweat it

[Jmac]

Why anyone would slam J.R for being emotional about DV is beyond me.

[panthers55]

The reason he tagged Hardy instead of signing him long term was precisely because he didn't trust him to be level headed and not do something like he did.  Of course he couldn't predict the media and everyone would bonkers over the domestic violence issue and he did plan for after Hardy.  As others have said, he didn't foresee it being so soon.  I just hope when Alexander comes back he is ready to go full tilt.  Hardy just about assured we will be keeping Alexander.

I hear this all the time. I find it to be totally ridiculous. It's not like JR is the only billionaire to live in North Carolina. In fact, he's not even the only billionaire NFL team owner from North Carolina.

I'm from the same town where Bob McNair grew up, and to see his influence here (he has given this town a summer league baseball team, a full-ride scholarship to one student every year to South Carolina, free parking areas, etc), it's impossible to say without JR we wouldn't be here.

[KendrickPanther]

The smartest thing DG did this off season is not give G Hardy a long term deal. I love Greg but he's always been a volatile personality.

[Jmac]

But he did and we are. That's what counts in my book.
