David Gettleman "I Got This"

CRA, as far as talent, no, DG didnt do much, but as far as fixing the cap, its night and day. But DG did upgrade the roster while lowing the salary cap figures. Which is impressive to me.

He didn't really do much cap wise. A little Hurney magic to obvious stuff but for the most part opted to sit on the Hurney mess for a year.

He was much better with scrub FAs than Hurney.

I am sure he has a plan. I think he gets his hands a little dirtier now. Like he did once the season started and got rid of Beason

I like Dave, seems like a classy guy; fast talking New Yorker; but that said I want to say I think his notion of "I don't talk contracts" is a cop out. I mean, I understand you don't want to do it through the media and stuff. But quit beating around the bush so damn much, you politician.

 

Is it that hard to say "We want to sign Cam Newton to a long term contract extension, if at all possible and when it makes sense" Is it that fuging hard, Dave? Give the kid a vote of confidence, he is your franchise.

 

Just thought that part of the presser was crap. I don't like it and he feels sneaky to me because of that. He's leaving himself an out still ever so slightly in regards to Cam.

He said he doesn't talk contracts with the media. That's pretty logical and professional IMO.

You need to go read NFL.com. They have a big article about GMan saying Cam has proven he's the franchise QB for Carolina. Get a clue bruh

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
