Gettleman deserves every award that exists for GM's. In just a few years he's dug us out of cap hell while managing to build an elite team that setup to be a SB contender for the next 5 years. He's identified and cultivated the talent he acquired while building around it on a shoe-string budget and he had the courage to part ways with some vet players that for one reason or another had run their course in our program.

All hail Gettleman!

LOL at teh Growl. "I am above all that piddley crap. I am all about the end results. If you ain't winning it all, you are just a loser." 

 

Coach of the year. Phsaw. You didn't win anything tangible. GM of the year. Yeah right. Gman gets an award for losing the big one. lol  And MVP. Well...Cam did deserve that one. Too bad he doesn't have a coach and GM that could build a team around him.

 

That my friends. Is outside the box thinking. But hey. At least he is on our minds. So he has that going for him.

actually i'm made of sturdier stuff than you (evidenced further by the cabin i've laid down in your mind that grips your thoughts even when i'm not around.) in fact, i'm completely unfazed by twitter awards as a whole, and wish management would've done enough to get us titles that hold real value.

The award comes from The Sporting News, not Twitter.

There probably no more idiotic sports fan persona than the "if we didn't win it all, we're just losers" fan.

in his defense, the reason we lost the superbowl (outside of horrendously one sided officiating) was because of our two weaknesses that were identified before the season started: weak OTs and WRs. i don't agree with his notion that these awards mean nothing, but i can see a rational argument somewhere in there.

 

side note: my iphone just auto-corrected the word "getting" to "Gettleman"

I have always strived to be objective when it comes to Gettleman. You have never seen me dog him out or schmooze with his jockstrap.

Looking at his relatively small body of work as GM, he has done some great things, and has made some great moves. He hasn't been perfect though. 

Patience is required when transitioning from one leader to another in an NFL organization even under the best circumstances, much less one that was in cap hell and still spinning its wheels from not only bad contractural decisions, but feeling the effects of purging key veteran leaders. Gettleman not only righted the ship and successfully maneuvered the waves, but he has also taken the organization to the place where the isle of paradise is always in view. 

With an understanding that even more patience may be required, and that the most steadfast championship-caliber teams don't dump their captains when paradise is always in view, how can anyone not want to give G-man even more time to actually step foot on the island and clutch the treasure---the Lombardi---amid all the fruits of being a consistent winner?

Like I said, he hasn't been perfect, but there is too much to like at this point in the Gettleman era than to dislike. Outside of Billy B (and maybe a couple of others), I think that G-man is one of the best in the business, notwithstanding an error here or there. Let's see how things are going in another five years.

Yeah I do have to admit some success is better than none. I could be a fan of the Lions for instance.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
