First Impressions: Dave Gettleman

[Future of the Funchise]

Has anyone posted this on youtube yet? Stupid Panthers.com videos don't work for me for some reason.

There is absolutely no way you could convince me the Bojangles thing is coincidental. The old man is trolling.

not trolling so much as clever product placement

I always have to pause my adblocker to get their videos to load.

Thanks man. That worked for me to. I wonder why tho. I've never had that problem on any other site.

Did I miss something during the presser ? On NFL.com they said Dave Gettleman laughed about our cap situation. I didn't see what that writer saw.

I haven't read through the thread, but has anyone gave it to JR yet for potshotting the media during the intro? Wow, low blow.

they've done it to him. they deserve much worse than what JR threw at them.

[Wine&Cheese]

One important factor to me: He stated that the evaluation and roster decision process has to be "unemotional" and "not sentimental".

Welcome words.

Agreed... This is the BEST part! The guy is objective and accepts reality... If nothing else those statements alone give us great hope for the future!

I'm not taking sides, I'm just saying it doesn't seem like the ideal time to strike back, lol.

[CatMan72]

He seems like a very down to earth guy with a good sense of humor.

I love the fact that we finally have a GM with a significant background in player evaluation... he said when it comes right down to it he'll pick up the clicker and watch film to aid in decision making.

[TylerDurden]

Like what I see/hear. I just hope he is given full autonomy as the decision maker in regards to the personnel.

Did you miss me guys?

Silence.

Did you miss me?

Muffled laughs.

Tom, did you miss me?

Muffled laugh from Tom.

Tom......did you miss me?

Awkward.

Just think back to how the Giants handled Osi Unmenyuria. He begged for a big deal and they told him to play or watch JPP.

yes--great example. Gettlemen (in my opinion) made a few comments that were directed at hurney's style of managment. He mentioned the word "objective" when evaluating personnel. I think Marty because disoriented by loyalty to players which caused him to pay them for past performance.

I bet he throws up when he looks at the contracts in the books.

Hardy could be his first test.

[Guest Tom Cat]

Gettleman seems to have a bit of a chip on his shoulder from having been passed over for gm consideration in years past.

I like that chip.

[TylerDurden]

Wow, he even teared up talking about his deceased mother-in-law. This dude is awesome.
