Was DG that great?

I'm not a hurney fanboy so let's kill that right there, he was a bad gm his last couple of years, it's not about losing one to two big names and vets, it's the inability to replace them with equal or better production, along with fixing current holes in the team, that wasn't done effectively after 2013 and 2015, however this offseason he did a damn good job, I will give him that

True statement..
Biggest knock on Gman he killed momentum for no reason sometime.. He would have had back to back winning seasons if he wouldn't have done the "changing whole position group" thing after a winning seasons..

He kept his eye on the big picture. You guys will realize what we lost soon enough. I just hope the team doesn't suck like the front office does

You can do both..
Keeping Norman under the tag to help transition to the younger secondary wasn't a hard move..
Finding a way to keep Gross for a year and one of the WR instead of sending Cam out there with Bell and Chandler at Tackle and not 1 wr he ever thrown a pass to.. Got your Qb slaughter and isn't good for the future..

GMan was a good GM but let's not act like he was God of all moves. You can't explain away some of his dumb decision..plain and simple..

And just as the person you were responding to said, people aren't looking far enough in to the future. If DG was going to go cornerback, he would know that the cornerbacks he selected would need playing time. That wasn't likely to happen with Norman on the team. Furthermore, Norman doesn't play on the offensive line and he doesn't kick game winning field goals. Outside of separate games against the Falcons and Saints, we weren't far from being a 10-6 team. One could suggest that the loss of Harper and subsequent move for Coleman (10 interceptions in 2015) resulted in more issues than the loss of Norman. In zone defense, it's about the guys behind the corners.

So you give up a season to give a bunch of rookies playing time???
Wtf..
We play with more than 1 CB every play right??
There is no fuging reason other than Gman's ego.. That you let Norman walk and start a season after a superbowl run with a secondary full of rookies..
How did all that playing time help Byron Bell, and Nate Chandler? How was that planning for the future..

This is the NFL and you have to make do with what you have. There are not enough players to go around for every team to have great starters at every position and even if there were, it would be too expensive for any team to do it year in and year out.

You don't understand... these haters expected DG to have Pro Bowl quality 25 NFL positions and starting NFL quality at every back-up position or he's a failure.

But mostly what they expected was for DG to kiss and caress Steve Smith, Deangelo Williams, and Josh Norman's tender, immature egos.

There's no way from a football standpoint that letting Norman walk was a smart move, for the future or present, no way in hell you start two rookie cb's when we have arguably the top wr in the league, and two top 10 qb's in our division. Same thing for the wr core in 2014, you make these moves ahead of schedule and not force them like we did last draft by going cb three damn rounds in a row

Well, except for the fact that by rescinding Norman's tag we saved 14+ million in cap space which we rolled over to this season, and VOILA we had our most active free agency ever.   Matt Kalil, Peppers, Munnerlyn, Mike Adams....  Plus we extended KK.  Don't know how we could have done all this if we hadn't saved that money.  Plus the comp pick we got for JNo did a lot to strengthen our draft position.

People keep acting like we gave up JNo for nothing (in fact the latest Observer article by Person & Fowler on the DG firing says just that.)  But in reality there were things we gained by letting him go, both in the short term, and in the long term.  However, I certainly don't deny that it was an ugly, brutal transition and playing 2 rookie CBs was not a good situation.  Maybe Dave was hoping Peanut would recover enough to come back instead of retiring?  IIRC Peanut didn't announce his retirement until July?

What did he do with the money.??
Did he improve the Oline that got your QB killed in the superbowl??
Did he bring in another vet secondary player to help transition the rookies??
Did he add anothet pass rusher or offensive weapon??
I'm waiting what did he do with those savings that helped us 2016??

    • If Canales comes back and Bryce doesn’t I would probably prefer to bring in 3 guys he likes from around the league or maybe outside a top ten pick and work through them, give that a shot. Because if we win a few more games we won’t be in the running for the top rated QB prospects anyway. 
    • You mean tepper but yeah I agree about rhule   Baker is a top 3 potential qb that is play for mvp and he is doing it with a slew of injuries
    • There’s too many to reply to so I’ll just say a couple more things then I’m out: 1. It hasn’t been both ways and that’s the point. People saying stuff like “too bad Bryce Young didn’t make that tackle” is a direct result of the ridiculousness of blaming Bryce Young for literally everything. I remember one game day thread a poster unironically blamed Bryce Young for JT Sanders flipping onto his own neck and injuring himself. That post was pied. I literally just read a post blaming Bryce Young for XL dropping a ball on a would-be game winning drive last year. This past week, when Tmac bounced a ball off his hands for an interception, Bryce Young was immediately blamed in the game day thread. Alternatively, people who try to give credit to Bryce Young are immediately told that to credit Bryce Young is taking away credit from Rico Dowdle, OL, whoever, and that they shouldn’t be talking positively about Bryce Young because he doesn’t deserve any credit. 2. Yes, there have always been bad posters, the difference is that back then they were largely derided. Bryce Young’s rookie season, when many of us were simply pointing at the train wreck of the whole team and saying it was maybe a little tough to evaluate Bryce Young when he had no time to throw and slow receivers, and just saying basic stuff like “Bryce Young can physically throw the ball further than 20 yards.” There was an attempt made to limit all those opinions to a single thread, by a mod. This is like saying lunatics running the asylum is normal because there have always been lunatics in the asylum. The difference is before they were patients, now they’re in charge. 3. I know for a fact I am labeled as one of the “Bryce Stans” by many of the usual suspects, but the fact of the matter is they have no idea what my position is on Bryce Young because any attempts at nuanced discussion in the past have been so completely pointless due to never being able to get past the hyperbole. How can we have a serious conversation if you insist he is physically incapable of throwing a football 20 yards? Or if you insist that he somehow duped the Panthers into drafting him just by drinking water? Or if you insist that he should be able to succeed behind one of the worst offensive lines I’ve ever seen (rookie year, not now). And I’m not the only one, there are many who have left the huddle because of it and started a discord server, I’m just too lazy for another app.
