Voth interviews Gettleman


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Bill Voth also asked Gettleman about Josh Norman

Gettleman won’t talk about contracts, but would he admit Norman’s talent could tempt him to make a somewhat sizable investment in the defensive backfield?

“I’m not going there.”

“He made a lot of progress,” Gettleman said. “Like any other young player, there’s still room to grow. You’ve got to see how he continues to ascend.”

And thus begins the "Gettleman is gonna leave us for a bigger market" panics.

Because his path took longer than most, Gettleman doesn’t spend time worried about a falling ax. Whether he continues to build a winner, or if it all goes wrong, this is the 64-year-old’s last job. Not surprisingly, though, he won’t reveal details of his agreement with owner Jerry Richardson.

I'm too new to the site to get all the Joe Person hate... I get that he's not one to provide breaking news, LOL.

But perhaps worse is David Newton who seemed today to copy Bill Voth's interview with Gettleman without providing any attribution to Voth.  Lazy is one thing, but presenting another reporters work as your own is something totally worse.

Here's Voth's piece:

Here's David Newton's

Lol there's still a bit more to it than that, but yeah, that was a good thread.

He's notorious for "breaking" news that someone had already broke hours, or sometimes even days before.

IIRC there was one offseason, can't remember which, where there was quite a bit of rumors swirling around the Panthers... and everyone was getting news from other random twitter users... and not a single tweet about the Panthers from Joe.  Turned out the son of a bitch was on vacation and was instead tweeting about hot it was at the beach he was at and how good the strawberry daiquiri was he just drank or some poo.  Then he finally gets back with the program and starts retweeting all the same poo that several other people knew long ahead of time and were already having in-depth discussions about.

He's also a huge mouth breather, and seems like he's out of breath in most of his interviews... not to mention asks some of the stupidest fuging questions out of anybody at press conferences.  The player can have literally just said "I don't have anything to say on that topic" two or three times in a row and Joe will still proceed to ask them the same question.  Never fails.

That sort of sums it up I guess.

when ravensinsider is breaking panthers news and joe person's twitter looks like the ss atlantus, I must question how easy it is to get a job at the observer. The qualifications must be a pencil and three known words in the English language.

Only if those three words are "I'm completely worthless."

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
