he was a fool and I cant believe anyone here has actually attempted to defend him at any point past the day he cut Steve Smith. The Norman franchise tag saga completely soured me on him and then Ron benching cam for not wearing a tie was when I soured on RR. 2016 fuging sucked.

Gettleman's biggest issue as a GM was his ego. He always had to feel like he "won" a situation even if it meant fuging over the team. As long as he got his way and stuck it to the other party.  Hitting home runs on his bargain free agent acquisitions and riding that to a SB appearance made him grossly overestimate his ability to do that on a regular basis moving forward. He was a flash in the pan.

Probably won't lose much by signing him. We really need a CB with some kind of competency given Horns injury and the poor or inconsistent performance of just about every other CB on our roster. 

I just have no idea what his abilities are at this point... I haven't paid attention to his career after his stint with the Redskins, he definitely didn't make any major headlines after that point. 

35 is getting up there in age and I dont think he was ever known for freakish athletic ability either. So I'm genuinely curious what he could provide to the team. There's no way he's anywhere near the same player now as he was in 2015.

Someone that went to a Super Bowl and former All-Pro vs someone on the roster that couldn’t start on Bama this year? We have safety help to protect a 35yr olds speed but we don’t have anyone to help with inexperienced CB.
 

At this point in the season with two must wins, experience over athletic ability every time. Tom Brady will destroy a bunch of 3rd sting CB. Dalton has been around the league a long time and while he might be able to fool starting CB’s…we don’t have any.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to point out, I still have no fuging idea why we didn't pull some Fitt Magic and acquire an additional 4th or 5th rounder and take Woolen in addition to Mays at that point. Just from the measurables, I would've been comfortable with us taking him in the 3rd if that's how our picks were set up. But in the 4th or a 5th, that was a homerun pick in my mind, and I felt that way BEFORE the draft, again just from a measurables and potential standpoint.

As expected.  Wilks was talking about him like he was already on the roster and how they planned to implement him during the presser.

    • After last season, it was the same question. And the answer most people came to was "If he doesn't make the playoffs, he's gone." He made the playoffs. No matter how it was done, we made it to the playoffs. He's safe. He's going to have a chance to keep working this out, even if next season isn't a playoff one.  I think we'll do better next year than we did this season. There's something being built here.
    • The NBA is a very fickle league. Kon is one of the hottest rookies in years and beyond just his play on the court he is a very steady competitor and that translates to the rest of the team. That has been a glaring absence with the culture of this franchise through the bulk of the LaMelo Ball years that's just being completely blunt and realistic. The enigma of LaMelo Ball is he is entering year 6 and still either red hot or ice cold. We need him to find that sweet spot. Logic dictates the Hornets will want to see this core again next year. But the clock is beyond ticking at this point. It's put up or shut up. Especially considering what the Thunder managed to do recently. I'm hopeful they can keep these wins rolling in and get some much needed playoff experience under their belts which will help substantially.
    • I think as long as the Panthers are competitive with Canales they should keep him. Pepper needs to repair his/the teams image as a place prized free agents aren't hesitant to consider. Just dont do any crazy poo for a few years.
