When Has This Much Turnover Ever Resulted In a Successful Season?

I want to be clear about my posts. The main point of most of them was to say that Gettleman has done nothing with the Panthers to deserve being beyond reproach.

Come talk to me 3 seasons from now and maybe my opinion will have changed.

Until then I will remain skeptical as any reasonable person should.

I hope Gettleman is making the right moves but I'll just have to wait and see.

I am wildy outnumbered on this but, looking at our roster now and the one we had this time last year I think we are pretty much on par. Losing Gross hurt like hell but other than him and Steve I can't see the reason to panic.

you don't "turn a team over" for a 16-0 record the next year. 

 

it takes time. 31 teams wont win the superbowl next year. we will now be in better shape then most with a core group of young guys and cap room. why is everybody whining 24-7? Go root for the Pats if you want interesting signings every year

Marty Hurney was always trying for a successful season.

 

Dave Gettleman wants to build a successful future.

 

Maybe this coming season is successful.  Maybe it isn't.  Either way, prioritizing short-term success over long-term success is what got us into the mess that they're right now having to try and fix.

Why do you trust Gettleman so much? How do you know he's "got it"?

Why do people insist on treating people that question Gman (which is what a logical person would do) like over emotional football idiots?

I think some of you Gettophiles put a lot of unearned trust in Dave.

Maybe he knows more about football and personnel matters than all of us combined? Maybe this blows up, but based on his moves last season, I am taking a wait and see approach.

Maybe. All I'm saying is that it remains to be seen. I understand people questioning his moves. What I fail to understand are the people who think everything he does is part of some genius plan.

It's much more reasonable to be skeptical until one can review his results.

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
