No Joke: The players apparently didn't like Gettleman


top dawg

Recommended Posts

Gettleman is raising the standard here. He's not going to dole out ridiculous contracts to marginal talents like Hurney did. How would anybody be surprised that the players weren't very happy when a real authority showed up? That's like being pissed that a stricter parent came home and stopped playtime when it got a little raucous. Sure the fun part of the day is over, but now we're eating dinner instead of having a mighty max wedged up someone's nostril eventually.

All I have to say is its about time. Gettleman can make the tough decisions and JR can give the group hugs. It's time for this organization to grow a set of balls. Just win. Just give me, as a fan, the ability to thump my chest and tell every asshole I see in Charlotte with Steelers gear or Cowboys gear to go suck it because my team is better than the team they bandwagon hopped.* That's all I ask.

*I do this anyway but it'd be nice to have the team to back me up on a consistent basis.

Like Ben and Chris in parks and rec lol

And he really shouldn't. It's a business and it's about winning championships. Not giving huge contracts to people that don't deserve them because they are good guys or have been with the team a long time

Yep. Welcome to the real world. The one in which I and most of the rest of the civilized world lives in.

Accountability...such a novel, scary, and foreign concept to some.  

 

 

Yeah, but there are two sides to every story...

 

Part of the American way is to use a motherfuger up as long as you can, while giving him the lowest wage, and then put his ass out to pasture if he's lucky---lucky enough not to be sent to the glue factory.

My dad was an asshole but he got the most out of me. Gettleman ain't here to be friends with you and give you way more money than you deserve. ..

Mother fuger the more I think about it the more it gets me fired up. Yeah no poo he was about money look at the bullshit he walked into! Holy poo man I'm behind gettleman 100%

Gross likes him now, for what it's worth.  Perhaps this is the general sentiment, unlike what many of you are trying to suggest.

 

 

You think Gross converted in just a season? After trying to play with his money, I doubt it.

 

 

Hey, man, let me delude myself. There is a chance...

 

 

something that i think several posters in here aren't getting.

 

didn't ≠ don't

 

gross said he didn't at first, but does now. 

 

As was posed to me, do you really believe that Gross actually likes Gettleman? Really? **in deep voice** Really? **in deeper voice**

    • I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
    • Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly. 
    • Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
