A Gettleman legacy

I see the ex-wife is still bitter and spewing bile toward the husband that she dumped for her old flame because he easily moved on without a qualm and eventually married an SI Swimsuit cover girl.

 Thank you for keeping me from posting a bunch of FACTS that have been rehashed many times over on here. This sums it up perfectly. 

   Since this is such an issue, one would think we would maybe compare Hurney last 5 drafts and how many players from those actually made it to play for us after 2012. Considering that he is actually the GM NOW and not anyone else. Let’s see how that works out. I’ll wait.

Gettlemans Legacy:

Losing all-time great Panthers and failing to extend an UDFA lineman who developed in to an All Pro. 

Panicking because of his own mistakes and setting the team backwards.

 2009-2012: 23-41. No playoffs. 

2013-2017: 51-28-1. 4 playoffs, SB appearance. Still set up to be contender in 2018. 

 That’s his legacy. Results. Not “he cut my luvee” agendas.

I see the spin machine is fast at work.

Ironic the same people who blast the Jerry Richardson way of football in one breath can't wait to pile in and justify it in another breath because Gettleman's name is involved.

I assume you are thinking Norman is an "all-time great" Panther. But come on.  He started 36 games in 4 years, logged 7 interceptions, got into a fight with our franchise quarterback, and refused to play for 15m in 2016.  Can this franchise not do a lot better than this as far as "all-time greats"?

It is laughable to think Norman would have turned a 6-10 team into a contender.  He didn't turn Washington into a contender.  And he has a grand total of 3 interceptions in 2 years since leaving.  2016 was just a lot of close losses, key injuries, and 1 very big missed FG.  Norman wasn't going to save us from any of that. The only thing retaining Norman would have done was prevent us from extending Short.

Maybe you are talking about Smith.  I agree, he is an all-time great, but Gettleman didn't lose him - he cut him.  And the reasons are well documented.

And how exactly was Gettleman going to extend Norwell?  He was fired before the season even started.

    • I agree but he honestly has gotten better about this. Used to be he’d do it like 4-5 times a game, now it’s like 2-3. Overall I’m incredibly happy with his game, his D has been solid and when he is playing his role he’s a solid scorer and one of the few guys who can consistently finish at the rim and provide that threat. Plus he’s electric and LaMelo loves him. Going into the season I was sure he would just be a stop gap here but now I’m reconsidering and could see him continue to be a “core” piece here. Obviously not on the level of the other starters but he is an important cog for this team. We felt his missed presence during his and Moose’s suspensions.
    • Philly will be a bigger challenge than the Knicks were IMO. George and Embiid are back, not sure about Maxey but Embiid alone is a nightmare matchup for us and Moose. We’ve never really done well against him. Celtics added Tatum but honestly not sure they’re all that much better with him right now than they were when we whooped them a few weeks ago. We should be able to at the very least split these 2, hopefully take both.
