We all go idiot mode here at one point or another, that's what keeps this place interesting.

As for those speaking on general managers or head coaches without a clue as to what they are talking about, I don't think that is only exclusive to the huddle. Most of the sports reporters out here throwing poo at at the wall every chance they get are glorified huddlers with merely a fancy title. Just look at Joe Person, I mean really.

Agreed. Supposed experts know slightly more than we do.

That's a 20 year old photo.

Here's one more recent...

Not sure if that was a joke, but I'm pretty sure that's not him.

The reason I'm actually posting though is because I found an interesting article while looking for a recent pic of him.

That's from 4 years ago, I dunno if the photo used is a recent one (as of the article) or not but I'm more inclined to believe that one and the others I found googling that actually look like the confirmed (if outdated) photo from earlier in the thread. Gettleman turns 62 next month according to http://www.nj.com/gi...leman_a_ca.html and if the top pic actually is him, he's the worst looking 62 year old I've ever seen. The interesting part of the article is this:

Retired Giants GM Ernie Accorsi is serving as a consultant for the Browns during the team's search. It's likely he endorsed Gettleman as a candidate.

The old man picture is most definitely not him. And I hate to tell you but I'm pretty sure the one you've got there is actually of Ernie Accorsi.

Other than his bio shot, I've only been able to find two pics. They both look to have been taken the same day (sometime in February of last year) and one is no bigger than a thumbnail.

Here's the smaller one...

And here's the larger (Gettleman is the closest)

Looks about like your average man in his 60s, I suppose.

Kudos to anyone else who finds another one. Finding a picture of Gettleman is about like finding a picture of Bigfoot. And video? Forget it.

i just don't understand some people on this board, if Gettleman is the pick that's fine by me. if he can come in revamp the scouting department & understands how to evaluate talent is my only concern. he can always groom someone younger to take his place in time. We don't need a GM with Swagg, we need better football players period

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By poorboysrev · Posted

      Right...I think they've done really well. No one's going to bat 1000% but they've addressed areas of need and there's no comparison to the overall talent of the team now than when DC and then Morgan got the reigns. This whole season is about seeing how much of a step up can Bryce and this team make. If Bryce can't and last year is as good as it gets for him then at least we have a talented roster for the next guy. I think we're going to be good this season

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.

      IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.
