You really think you could make any sort of argument for Gettleman here?

I included both Gettleman and Hurney to be thorough, but I think the arguments against either one are pretty weak.

Yes for dismantling the team that went to the superbowl

Allowing the likes of Remmers, Bell, and Kalil to protect Newton's blindside seems like a reason to me.  I think he's got as good of an argument as anyone on that list not named Ron Rivera.

As a matter of fact where is Mike Shula?  He's the #1 culprit now that I think about it.  Crappy scheme, asking our QB to hold the ball for years behind a shoddy offensive line.

Blaming Shula is ultimately blaming Rivera.

Yeah Gettelmen catches some blame for trying 2 position group rebuilds after successful seasons..

2014 let the whole WR group go and his faith with (Bell and Chandler) OT combo ..

2016 Egoed himself into having to rebuild the secondary after a Superbowl run...

      Legette admits taking his catching for granted a little his rookie season

      By BlazeCarolina · Posted

      Trying to do anything I got to?  I don't like the way he says that. I want him to work out, but the more I learn about him, the more he seems to just not have that elite mindset.  Would love to be proven wrong. On the last highlights from camp I watched, he still wasn't tucking the ball correctly to run.  He adjusted, but I want that type of thing to be automatic, not something he has to think about.

      Legette admits taking his catching for granted a little his rookie season

      By TD alt · Posted

      The bad thing is that Xavier Legette kind of ignored the Jugs machine his rookie season. The good thing is that he's committed to it now. Catching is important to an NFL receiver (sarcasm), but, perhaps just as important is a receiver's---any player's---mindset.  "This offseason, the young wideout has gotten back to something in terms of preparation (Jugs machine). 'Oh man, it’s always been something I’ve done, and I don’t know why, but I felt like I could take a little breath,' explained Legette (via Darin Gantt of Panthers.com). 'And when you’re playing in this game, you can never do that. It’s always a way to get better, and that’s one of the ways to help with catching. For sure, for sure. In my mind, I’m thinking about ways, things I can do. What can I do to have less drops this coming season in Year 2? 'The whole mindset has changed, man,' added Legette. 'Trying to do anything I got to. I’m sacrificing a lot of things that I used to do outside of the building to put my work inside the building.'" https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/xavier-legette-focused-on-reducing-drops-that-plagued-rookie-year-with-panthers-01k1692c0tz9 So, yeah, it wasn't good coming in taking some things for granted, but Legette is young. His mentality appears to have changed and he appears to be maturing and he's been putting in a lot of work by all accounts.  I know some of you are down on him, but I still have faith. Last season was a disjointed mess in its entirety, but there were still some flashes, particularly with route running. With Legette's seemingly better fit as the WR2, mindset and focus---doing his actual job catching the ball---he should be able to improve. Lastly, I'd like to add, props to Legette for being so open about the need to improve and change his mindset. Some guys wouldn't necessarily admit that publicly. If nothing else, he's honest and down-to-earth.
