"Panthers select somebody to pressure quarterback, not protect their own"

[Mage]

Wait, wait, wait.  

 

Ryan Grigson a better GM than Dave Gettleman?

Truth hurts

Are you ever happy Aceboogie? I can't help but imagine you stewing over everything the panthers choose to do. You say gettleman is a terrible GM? He's been constantly getting first round talent in all rounds of the draft. Is fixing our cap issues that almost ruined us. Lastly made serious needed cuts and had to rebuild 3 position groups last year because of money problems yet still made it to the playoffs? How the fug is that a bad GM!?

Eh, a 12 point font is usually better.

He's not a terrible GM, not a great one either. He's average, and despite his age he's learning on the job. I like some of the things he's done, and I hate other things. I'm just not a fan. And despite my post here I'm actually a very happy person. Currently sitting in Port Canaveral waiting to board my cruise, I'm very happy. Just a passionate fan who's objective amongst Panther fans. When talking to fans of other teams I defend every move Gettleman makes. Except the Steve Smith release.

It is going to be hilarious when we take a DE in round 2

 

the meltdown among the pessimists and haters here will be absolutely glorious. 

 

Helping the D will help the O.  If it puts us in a position to run the ball more, that protects Cam. 

 

^this. 

 

you have to examine the philosophy that Gettleman approaches the game with. its a time-tested philosophy. Panthers.com recently posted Gettleman's story and his pedigree. im paraphrasing, but Gman said that you have to run the ball, stop the run, and rush the passer. this makes every other facet of the game easier. 

 

run the ball? win time of possession and break the will of the opposing defense. also, keeps the QB healthy and makes it easier for him to pass the ball because it lulls the defense to sleep. 

 

stop the run? prevent the opposing team from accomplishing the aforementioned goal, making them one-dimensional.

 

rush the passer? after shutting down the run, this makes opposing offenses unable to move the ball and, thus, score points. the less points the other team scores, the less points we need to win. 

 

everyone who freaks out about no protection or weapons seems to have the unreasonable expectation that the Panthers should put up 40 points every game, fug what happens on defense.

 

defense is more important. running the ball is more important than passing on offense.

Two WR's were drafted right after we picked by two GM's who have been more successful at their jobs than Gettleman has.

 

How can you say that when everyone said man the Colts have completely ignored defense, they have the oldest defense in the league. Colts are super unbalanced in the opposite way. Plus commentary last night was don't they already have the same guy in TY Hilton?
