Is the Gettie trying to do too much too quickly?

[charlottenian]

Is the 12-4 season getting to him? I think Gross retirement was the way his contract was handled.... I suspect since there was no true cap savings on getting rid of our #1 receiver that this must have been a testosterone contest between the two and Gettie is going to release him.... He did well with the draft and brought in decent lower tier FAs but this offseason it appears near implosion.

Our offense was ineffective last season... Failing to score more than 13 points in many games. 12-4 record is all defense. DG is rebuilding our entire offense. We cannot do any worse offensively this year than last year.

I hope players want to come play for us, he pissed on two Panther GOATs

[BlackCats2013]

Out with the old and in with the new and hopefully productive offensive players

[Ja Rhule]

DG is doing all the right things. Loyalty cost this team many seasons.

[charlottenian]

I will relish the day Gettleman takes care of this issue....

Actually, if Hurney didn't screw us with the contracts, I think he should be doing more.  Marginal improvement won't get us over the hump.  Looking forward to seeing who he brings in.  DG said that free agency is for filling holes so we are not drafting with any glaring needs.  If that holds true, we are signing DBs, WRs and OT(s).  Will we go big this week or wait for the market to cool down.?. 

 

If you think we are doing a lot, check out the Saints recent moves.

Lets say you worked for the Panthers for a long time and got hired on as the GM for the Cowboys or something.  You would not have any emotional ties to the players and you would see things objectively, not through team colored glasses.  I think this is what is happening.

No he is doing what he has to do

Maybe but what successful team doesn't do such things?

[QueensKing]

It's not about the decisions that are being made, it's the way he has handled the decisions.  Respect is a two way street.  The tone has been set, hopefully Cam is okay with these moves because if not, we could be in trouble.

 

Speaking of, when is the almightly G-Man going to get some weapons for Cam.  As "bad" as Smitty may have been, he was still our best receiver by far.  We're taking steps backwards, and I'm sure come season time it'll be blamed on Cam.  Maybe it's a ploy to drive down Cam's number once his season isn't as statistically impressive with no weapons to work with?

It is his job to get the players and manage the cap. Time will tell if will work.

Gross retired... he was not cut by DG so don't blame DG for LT issues.  Legendary WR don't win you games, playmakers do.  Unfortunately, Steve Smith is a shell of a playmaker.  Watching Smitty getting chased down by linebackers last year was painful to watch.  Smitty is no more than #2 or #3 WR but he's getting paid like top 10 WR in the league.  If you insert smitty as your #1 WR, you guranteed a limp dick offense.  Team's will single cover slow Smitty, allowing them to bring safeties closer to line of screamage and take away our run game (something that happened A LOT last year).  They will be able to effectively blitz Cam and completely destroy our offense.  You add 2 fast WR that can stratch the field on each side, defenses will have to move safeties deep for extra support.  Less blitzer and better run game.

 

Last year I witness many times when teams would blitz their corner and their LB would perfectly cover Smitty.  LB on WR should be a mismatch and should lead to at least 1st down but it wasn't many times.
