Gettleman Isn't a People's Person

[ThunderKatt]

Gettleman was less vocal last year about players and he handled cuts a little more transparent.  There is a reason everyone was outraged about Smitty being cut and Gross retiring.  Had the situation been handled differently the whole Smitty propaganda would have been died away.  Don't act like the entire huddle wasn't pissed the way the cut was handled.  Now all of sudden, it wasn't ever a problem.  Right, and if we felt like that then you can imagine how the players felt.

 

You want to have more loyal players than a team of players just looking for the biggest check.

it's the gm's job to get the right peoples in the building.  it's up to the coaching staff to develop players/team chemistry.  winning cures everything.  from the sound of this place, you'd think we went 6-10 last year with an overpaid gettlemen roster.

One thing you don't get is the fact that if the G.M. isn't a people's person then that could possibly trickle down to the players.  No one wants to play for a team that disrespects players or mislead players.  Football is a team sport so if the G.M. isn't building that team chemistry and team infastructure then the house could come down.  Tampa Bay felt the effects from their head coach.  

 

The man could be the best talent searcher in the world but if no one is respecting him and the players don't have confidence that the Panthers is a place they can comfortably call home, then him being a good evaluator is pointless because only old washed up players will come here for the vet minimum and potential talents will come here to strengthen their resume' for a one year deal then they will leave.

 

Hmmmm!!!! Marty Hurney was considered a people person by the players,how did that work out for the team? Not so good? Point taken,case closed.

Well the first thing gettleman said during his initial interview is that his breath stank

[ThunderKatt]

Marty did some good he just overpaid players.  No one is saying Gettleman has to kiss ass to win over the players.  I am saying, he needs to watch his mouth before he goes around blurping his opinions about players behind their backs.  His still new, he will take enough lashings or he will go down in smoke.

Those were Rivera's words or did you miss that.  So what did you get from the article?  I asked you a question and you continue to avoid what you got.

 

??? i read that he was there to "make sure we are staying on point".

 

what i didn't read was that gettleman was not a "people's person".

 

that was all you making that reach.

answering your question....what i got from it was this:

 

One of the big points was the Panthers aren't done

that was the focal point of the article. no jumps needed no reaching needed. right there in plain sight.

[ThunderKatt]

Is it Rivera's job to make sure the G.M. stays on point?  To me that is a smack to Dave like he is a bonehead that doesn't know what or what not to say.  If you read the entire article that means Ron was the only coach that sat in during the interview.  No boss ever needs their employee to sit there with them to nod when they are right, and give a dumbass stare when they crossed the line.

Yea and during that tenure he was kept quiet to the public so he wasn't under the same scruntiny as he is now.  The head coach and G.M. during that time handled the players and the media.  Big difference.  

 

The only ones who are putting Gettleman under close  scruntiny are fans like you, who are still butt hurt

that Steve Smith was released. "Ice up Son" ,move on and get over it.

[ThunderKatt]

Not really, I was shocked but that's old news.  The entire fan base was shocked so don't act like I was the only one concerned about who would step into the role to make plays.  If it didn't cross your mind then your butt is numb from being hurt for so long.

If you have a spider man pic for every response you think of, then you were already sick, lol.

The part that actually is funny was, he starting out being a man wanting to accept the challenge then punked out. The pm was a punk check, and the punk checked in just like expected.

I would never challange you..I am clearly intimidated by punk checks.

to you, that is a smack to dave.

 

it could also mean just to make sure that they are both on the same page.

 

but i guess your interpretation brings more drama so we'll go with that.

Once again, these are grown ass men. This is a job for them. They don't get all pumped up with team spirit and cry when they lose. Sure a lot of them enjoy playing and and take great pride in doing well, because that's how they get pay raises. Rookies straight out of college shoot for the stars and old vets want rings. Everyone in between is trying to get paid, cause they know it will only happen once.
