Gettleman didn't speak for 'Skins on Norman, but he said nothing, but said enough.

[top dawg]

Mike Florio had the opportunity to ask Dave Gettleman about Washington's willingness to pay Josh Norman such a big contract, and on its face, Getty gave a completely reasonable and Gettleman-esque answer. 

Quote

“Well, I don’t want to talk for any other team,” Gettleman said. “You know, they were willing to give Josh that kind of a deal. God bless them. For us, it was a matter of resource allocation. Everybody has to make decisions for their club. I’ve said this a number of times, and I think people are probably tired of hearing me say it but I’m going to step back and make the decisions that are in the best interests of the Carolina Panthers and when you sign a player to a deal of that magnitude it’s not done in a vacuum. Nothing is done in a vacuum, every decision every General Manager makes has a domino effect and you’ve got to decide how you want your dominoes to fall.”

It makes plenty of sense---about the resource allocation and all---that every club has to look at their own situation. But the thing the part of his answer that speaks volumes to me (in a highly amusing fashion) is when Getty said "God Bless them." 

Not trying to speak for Gettleman, but what I kinda heard when he uttered those three words, as kind of an afterthought of sorts, is that "The 'Skins are crazy!"

But he'll never say that.

Just saw that... and in a later comment (can't resist reading them, they're too entertaining....! ) there is someone opining that "Cam is hated around Charlotte" these days after he let the team down in the Super Bowl.

Just tell that to those 7th graders who went crazy when he jumped the fence to toss some footballs around with them...!  Some hate.  LOL

Count me in as one Charlottean who still loves Cam.

i responded to that with "at your klan meeting maybe" and it was instantly deleted

i'll never understand PFT's moderation rules.  some moron can write a book accusing cam of conspiring with lyndon johnson to have kennedy assassinated and if someone responds calling them an idiot it's like it's automatically wiped out.

I doubt Gettleman really meant to throw shade like that. I'm sure when he said it, it didn't sound like that but it looks much different in text.

If you even question the motives or judgement  of PFF in the slightest way it will be removed yet they thrive on smack talking numb skulls for their livelihood.
