I think it's too soon still but the results are there.

Early returns have him ahead of the curve. The guy has an unmistakeable eye for talent.

The UDFAs have been a revelation. As a panthers fan with my formative years being the Hurney era seeing results and impact coming from undrafted and late round players with this type of frequency is like sorcery.

Haha winning cures everything doesnt it? No doubt he has a great eye for talent and he's found some gems but lets not forget he was also the guy who had no problem sending out nate chandler and byron bell as our tackles and roman harper and thomas decoud and antoine cason as our secondary

Oh he deserves flak for those moves no doubt. But he was able to get back ups and erase his mistakes by cutting them.

People really need to step back in awe of the situation he inherited--debt, dead money, bad contracts--it was/is a mess.  He has been winning gun fights with a swiss army knife and spit. 

 

I hope you can see what is happening. We are not being built to win a few playoff games and slip back into cap hell.  We are quietly building a very solid football team with talent, good contracts, and character.  Remember when he said (considering he had no money) "You build a roster from the bottom up?"  It seems to be working.

It's widely known that those mistakes he cut were largely pushed by rivera. He wanted veterans on the team. Nobody forced ron to start those guys.

And dave is the one who cut them

Some might say that he didn't have many options.  Nobody said he had no problem doing it, but he did. I don't think for one minute he was happy about it.  However, to do something about it would be to sign Colliins to a big free agent contract (He was benched vs. us) or draft a player like Morgan Moses (and letting Ealy slip away).

 

Again, he inherited a mess.  I agree that he has a great eye for talent--finding studs on practice squads, undrafted rookies and fourth and fifth rounders not only starting, but turning the ship around.  Future looks bright, my friend.  Winning does cure everything!

I think he's doing a spot on job. However, people tend to be pretty manic about how they judge him. 

 

I agree.  I welcome other opinions and think fans have a right to criticize, but if you do, you can't do so fairly without considering all of the things he has working against him.  He is building with one hand and cleaning up Marty's mess with the other. 

 

All GMs make questionable moves.  When I read that only about 50% of the first round picks in the NFL pan out, It makes me think how good DG is.  The only questionable pick I can think of is Kugbila--a 4th rounder, and he is still working out his health issues.

 

Star

KK Short

Klein

Kugbila (jury still out--losing hope, but what if...)

That alone is enough to give his first draft high marks.

 

KBenjamin

Ealy

Turner

Boston'

Benwikere

Well, um, He got better

 

He has done his best work finding undrafted free agents and bargain bin veterans

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
