Who Said What?

I keep hearing that Gettleman may not be all in or completely sold on Rivera this year.

 

Gettleman addressed our gaping hole at DT that the board has bitched about for years.  He drafted playmakers for depth at LB and RB instead of reaching for need.  He brought in good competition at all defensive back spots.  All of these moves were made with us starting nearly fifteen million over the salary cap.

 

Now everyone is whining about gaurd and o-line depth.  First, Garry Williams played during the winning streak at the end of the year.  Now he is complete garbage.  There were not any difference makers in free agency that we could sign while we were strapped for cash.  Now, posters are getting mad because Getts is letting young guys have a shot before going and finding expensive stop gaps.

 

Now with Gettis emerging, all of that answers on the roster stuff doesn't seem like empty rhetoric.  I thought we would be happy after getting a different GM.  Now many are complaining because he isn't operating like Hurney. 

 

What could he have done differently to prove that he is all in with Rivera and that he is not waiting to sign his own coach?

valid points. i don't see gettleman sabotaging this team in any way, as much as the conspiracy theorists like to suggest. i think WR and the secondary may turn out to be much less of an issue than we might have suspected.

 

OL though... if there's been a problem manifesting itself throughout training camp and preseason it's the OL. unless garry williams magically sprouts probowler wings it will remain the achilles heel of this entire football team. he has to realize that.

 

or we're all just stupid

This really need to be addressed because people keep saying things like this about the o line. Murphy played during the winning streak as well and everybody was ready for him to leave the team. If you have confidence in players that's fine, but saying or implying they won't be bad simply because they played during a winning streak is a terrible argument.

Lets look at it this way then.  Cam had more time to throw.  Rushing yards increased during the streak.  There were less turnovers as well.  We didn't even have Kalil during that stretch either.  Soooo is that a little better?

If some viable gaurd options come available like Dwan did on D last year, I'm down.

Ron Rivera barely kept his job going into this season. barely.

Gettlemen would be a crappy GM if he suddenly started investing talent that suited a scheme/coach that has high odds of being gone.....that didn't also fit with what he build if that coach was gone.

Why he went DT...and doubled down. A front 4 is important to DG and would hire a coach that felt that way.

That isn't sabotage....probably being a good GM. Rivera either shows he stays or goes this year....then the GM knows if he is going to help RR or rebuild a new O and team for a new coach

Good post, but what do you think he would have done if Rivera was his guy this year?  Would he have drafted a wideout or already spent more money?

good question, i wonder that myself.  problem is, DG did a good job getting this years cap number under control, but still could not make any long term investments due to future cap problems.  this team isn't in position for a one year fix, unfortunately.  i think we can compete this year, but are obviously not an elite squad.  i am just as interested in knowing if, DG would have kept Ron if he had a choice.

      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

      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.
