Meaning can Gettelmen be like those GM'S. Make the playoffs every year but still able to get players out of later round picks..

His last draft he got KB at 28th picked and was still able to get 4 starters and 1 contributor with later picks in each round..

Is he good enough as a talent evaluators to be a Ted Thompson Ozzie Newsome type??

In my opinion, GMs start to mess up when they make trades up and try to grab shiny talents. You see how well that worked out for RGIII and others.

It gets them behind, and in a hole, and causes lots of problems.

Teams like Green Bay, Baltimore, and Pittsburg very rarely blow their money on attractive free agents. In my opinion, a lot of those guys are just looking for money and now worried about putting up too many stats after they have been paid. I know they are still very young for life standards too, but most free agents are over 25 and it seems like 30 is a glass ceiling for a lot of players.

Hard to argue that he can't.

 

1) Has almost tamed the salary cap by not overpaying for free agents and letting other teams over-pay ours

 

2) Wisely traded Beason to let Luke become the defense's unquestioned MLB and leader

 

3) Has drafted 6 starters and 2 key back-ups with his 12 available picks, with greater success in his second year cuz our scouts were more knowledgable about what he wanted them to look for. Could be 7 starters if KK is starting, and Ealy will prolly be starting by mid-season next year 

 

4) has brought in more quality UDFAs than any of us had any right to expect

 

5) cut ties with Smitty, which let Cam be the unquestioned leader on offense and prolly did wonders for our young DBs confidence

 

6) cut vets so that Ron would be forced to play the rookies he drafted (pure speculation, but I could see Gettleman doing it)

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
