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.
