Under Gettleman, best 2 and a quarter season stretch in Panther history

[R0CKnR0LLA]

If you look at a the period Gettleman has been here (two full seasons plus 4 games into the 3rd season) the Panthers have 23 regular season wins, a record for the organization.

Compared to the rest of Panthers history:

• 1995 - 4 games into 1997: 21 wins
• 1996 - 4 games into 1998: 19 wins
• 1997 - 4 games into 1999: 12 wins
• 1998 - 4 games into 2000: 13 wins
• 1999 - 4 games into 2001: 16 wins
• 2000 - 4 games into 2002: 11 wins
• 2001 - 4 games into 2003: 12 wins
• 2002 - 4 games into 2004: 19 wins
• 2003 - 4 games into 2005: 20 wins
• 2004 - 4 games into 2006: 20 wins
• 2005 - 4 games into 2007: 21 wins
• 2006 - 4 games into 2008: 18 wins
• 2007 - 4 games into 2009: 20 wins
• 2008 - 4 games into 2010: 20 wins
• 2009 - 4 games into 2011: 11 wins
• 2010 - 4 games into 2012: 9 wins
• 2011 - 4 games into 2013: 14 wins
• 2012 - 4 games into 2014: 21 wins

Through Panthers history, the average number of wins for a comparable period is 16.5, meaning under Gettleman the Panthers have won nearly 40% more games than their average.

Also of note, the 3 year period before Gettleman took over (2010-2012) was the worst stretch in Panthers history, winning only 15 games over 3 full seasons.

duh

He's not perfect, but tough to argue with the results.  Gettleman/Rivera > Hurney/Rivera.

This team has issues in several areas, but I said it a few weeks ago, Getts knows what he is doing and there has been a different attitude about this team and organization since he arrived.

And again, because it cannot be emphasized enough even though the naysayers want to argue otherwise, he has accomplished this while putting the team in rebuilding mode.

"Gettlemagic" is not about nailing every draft pick, because he hasn't. But what he has done is put forth a plan and stuck to it, come hell or high water, putting the franchise in a position to be flexible once locking in the foundational guys he was given when he got the job.

It's so refreshing to see a franchise that appears to have a plan and has folks on the same page. As a Hornets fan who has seen the alternative, I can tell you that's really something that should be appreciated. Rivera isn't perfect, Shula isn't perfect, but in the big picture we are in a much better place in franchise history than we we have been in awhile, and the long-term record bears that out.

nice.

this is shaping up to be one of the best seasons in team history if we can keep momentum. our death-row stretch suddenly looks remarkably routine and i think we're built to handle the falcons as well as anyone in the league.

16-0?

Agree. Philly (no relation) is not looking so tough this year, Indy barely handled Jax, and GB had trouble finding points today. 

I think we go no worse than 2-2 over the next 4.

[SOJA]

Gettleman is a top five GM in this league

Indy barely handled Jax because they had to play Matt Hasselbeck, but I agree with you.
