Dave Gettleman Has Destroyed The Carolina Panthers

Adam Wilkinson , Sports Mania on October 16

When GM Dave Gettleman came to the Carolina Panthers, most Panthers fans thought it was a great move. After all Gettleman had led the New York Giants to two Super Bowl titles, and helped get the Panthers out of "salary cap hell" as most fans would call it. However after starting the 2016 season 1-5, a season in which the Panthers were supposed to contend for a Super Bowl championship, Panthers fans are finally beginning to see Gettleman for what he really is, a below average GM who tries to win with below average players.

...

Get ready for the ride. The front office has a lot of answering to do, and while he does not like to trot himself out during the season, he has to as the fans/customers demand management to answer for their crap product they sold as entertainment and value.

There is a pattern with Gettleman as the GM, and it is likely to get much worse for the Panthers front office.

I've got to tell you dude, you have taken a ton of poo on this forum for your opinion, but you've been pretty spot on. There are a ton of people on here who owe you an apology for what all they have said to you.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
