Voth reviews the Gettleman presser

[ickmule]

Say what you want, the Gman has it together and this team is headed in the right direction.

Voth is great, love his website.

Anybody else read that in Gettleman's voice?

Stahhhh

Panthers are going to be heading to the playoffs an awful lot under gman.  The guy has truly special talent evaluation skills.  Draft picks and UDFAs have been stellar under him with a mixed bag of very low cost free agents (understandable, a small contract should equal low risk, low reward).

As long as we keep a solid QB under center we will be able to restock annually in the draft and eventually clean out enough money to sign some bigger names to fill in the gaps.

How could you possibly keep Richard Rodgers...ST led to losses, a tie, and the Cam Chancellor thing was embarrassing and almost a compete disaster. The unit was inept..

Good post OP. Still see a WR or LT in the first followed by either another tackle or a back in the second. Read it as you will, I'm not a GM

Yeah, Ron seems to think it was 100% lack of players. I'd say 70% of our special teams disasters were coaching related.

Can someone please explain how he's viewing the cap? I'm not sure how the cap raising hurt us.

Unlike former GMs, I've always thought Dave's pressers were full of information. 

 

I think DW will come back on a cheap 2 year deal being paid more like a back-up than starter.  I doubt he wants to go anywhere else and he's made his money.  If I am wrong, he will be gone. 

 

The RB position scares me to death with this team. Stew looked awesome and is more than capable of being an elite back, but you can't trust him.  He's missed so many games and I question his toughness and if he is one of those guys that just wants to collect a paycheck.  If he goes down next year, I'm not sure I'm ready to let Fozzy carry the load in an offense where running the ball is so important.

 

I think Dave has learned that he needs to watch his words more closely and I think some of his comments re: coaches and players currently employed display this.

If the ST coach survives I'm going to be shocked. If its true no one gets a pass then this guy goes.

I think he said this because the extra $5 million gave the Panthers the ability to go $5 million more into debt and this team needs to go the other direction.  It was a confusing comment.

More cap room drives up salaries. Yes, Carolina also gets a boost but that doesn't make a marginal player (the kind Carolina was looking for) better, just more expensive.

[Mr. Scot]

As I understood the analogy, he's talking about how when someone has maxed out their credit cards and suddenly gets a raise on their limit, it's very tempting to just go ahead and max out all over again.

 

Gettleman is saying we don't wanna go that route.  We wanna be responsible and pay down our debt (so to speak).
