Getltleman and our new players

First I want to say what a pleasure it is listening to Gettleman talk about the Panther and the players that he is in charge of obtaining for this team. You see his passion and his belief in his goals for this team. Far better than Hurney. Hurney was boring and rarely gave me the excitement for our team the way Gettleman does.

All GM's use Athletic when describing a player. One word though he used that really makes me believe that we will rarely flop on a player and that is Instinctive. He talked about teaching and coaching going a long way but if you didn't have the instinct then we were wasting our time.

That said, I am confident that all the players we are bringing in whether Draft, Free Agency or UDFA are instinctive players. This puts the pressure on the Coaching staff to bring out the best in our players.

Has anyone else picked up on this. He is going to take us to the top. Maybe not in 2013 or 2014 but very soon,

I get the same feeling, just because I trust Gettleman with 30+ years experience over bitchy Huddlers with youtube clips.

But... every good Huddler knows watching a player for 3 minutes on youtube is a great way to evaluate talent

The GM isn't going to take the team to the top .... he is just providing the tools........... The  only way where going to top is by the players and the coaches  ...unlike a lot of ppl on this board i have full faith in our Coaches especially Rivera and Shula.

Evaluate him in 5 years.

 

But we are a playoff team this year and I will be disappointedif we don't get there.

 

Another losing year will be toxic for this franchise.

agreed. another losing season and no change to the coaching staff and i guarantee this team will lose a lot of fans and support and will essentially be sealing their future as a team who just doesn't have what it takes to put together a winner.

 

and for those who would be glad to have fake fans leave their losing team's fanbase I'll only laugh and shake my head that you would see losing as a good thing so that only "real fans" would be there. its hilarious that people would ever be fine with being a fan of  a perennial loser.

 

give me a winning team with a million bandwagon fans over a losing team with just a handful of loyal fans any day.  i just hope the panthers get their act together soon cause i don't know how much longer i can put up with this poo.

I like the thought of instincts in a player. They can see a play quicker. Can read cues. And are usually coachable because they can relate to what they are being taught.

 

Haven't really heard much on this. Thanks for bringing it up. Yet another reason to get behind Gettlemen.

Seems to me that any panther fan would hope that everything the OP says comes true.  What is there not to like.  I understand that    soon enough we might find that we are not very good this year or might suffer another rash of injuries.  But what is wrong with hoping we are wildly successful and have a fabulous season.

I understand that some folks have to temper their enthusiasm to avoid disappointment. But honestly what is desirable about that? It also means you can't be all in, drinking the koolaid until you have a reason not to do so.  Living life fully experiencing the highs and lows of life always holding back, cynical and doubting so you aren't wrong no matter what.  I prefer believing that this is the year we turn things around and get back to our winning ways. That Cam is going to shine, the defense is going to great and Rivera, McDermott, and Shula are going to be solid.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
