Has this week calmed your Gettle-fears?

[KJ89]

I never had any.

[Panthers8969]

My only problem with this FA is letting smith go. I don't care about all that cam leader Mumbo jumbo and we are still paying him 5mil to play for another team. But I could look past all that if gman just fuging respecting the greatest panther of all time. And before a huge argument breaks out about this, everyone should atleast be able to agree Smitty should've been showed respect.

if we trade for Djax then i can finally masturbate without crying

Liar, you know that won't stop it.

[Carl Spackler]

We still haven't made up for what we've lost, not even close.  But, I'm happy to see that we're actually trying to make some moves now.

 

This. Some progress is better than no progress for sure.

[TheRed]

I wouldn't call it fear, more like concern. I am cautiously optimistic, I like the moves. We need more, which I anticipate.

 

WR is still a concern, as is our OL, but that is why I am looking forward to the draft.

[CarolinaCoolin]

Nope, we are tanking. Gettleman wants cam and Rivera gone. We are gutting the team because of that. 1-15 guys. Gettleman sucks.

My fat, disabled ass would do backflips if this was to come to fruition.

[Servant of Cthululelei]

This week has done a lot to calm my fears. Gettleman seems to have gotten doppelgangers for all the role players we lost: Harper for Mitchell, Cason for Florence, Cotchery for Lafell, Underwood for Ginn. Then I imagine he expects either Godfrey or Lester to take over for Mikell, and King or McNutt to take the #4 WR spot of Hixon's.

 

Now all we need is a number one wide receiver and a left tackle. Those positions aren't important or anything, right? But if we go WR in the 1st and OT in the 2nd or vice versa, I think this team is in a good position, if not better off. So yeah, I'm feeling a lot better this week, then say, the day Steve Smith was cut.

 

 

And this is exactly why nobody should panic in the first week of free agency to begin with.  There's just no point.  There's a reason the offseason is almost 7 months long.  Teams aren't made or broken in the first week of free agency.  Period.

[Smithers]

So...you mean players do actually want to play here? 

 

The meltdown on this board over the last few days was epic, and pathetic.  "OMG...we just let all our average to below average players walk.  Our GM sucks!"  

 

SMH.  

 

Gettleman knows what he is doing.  And he is doing it marvelously!  

[Kuech the Sneak]

Terrell Thomas

If we could somehow convince him to fire Shula I may even crack a smile.

[PantherFanOne]

Its obvious that all the hate was triggered by releasing Smith. The media didn't help and unfortunately it seems like most of the huddle bought into it. If you don't think gettleman knew what the backlash would be, you're insane. Hell he told everyone what his plan would be in his post season press conference.

 

Exactly...The media is always stirring the pot about things the Panthers do,or don't do. Sadly, a lot of fans panic and buy into their verbage, when they should be taking it like a  grain of salt.

 

As far as having "Gettle-fears",this is something that never entered my mind. He is working his rearend off attempting to get us good talent with the limited amount of money available,thereby getingt us out of the cap hell we are currently in.

 

Gettleman  realizes we have to presently bite the bullet and not keep pushing money down the road on foolish high bucks contracts and dumb restructures. These are the type actions that will hit teams like the Cowboys and other big spenders  hard, when it is eventually time to pay for these deals.
