What should we do with the GM who picked the likes of CJackson, RDowling, and added Ochocino, Haynesworth, and to some AThomas in the FA markets. Maybe we should fire his ass too. Christ, you can find a dozen so called misses from ANY GM if we get to use 20-20 hindsight as you seemed to have done.He did botch the secondary pretty hard last year. I know he also deserves credit for drafting decent replacements in Bradberry and Worley, but c'mon...he let Norman walk for nothing despite (IIRC) not needing the cap space for anything else.
Then, consider the WRs Newton has had to work with lately. His top targets have been Olsen (a tight end), 1 good year of Kelvin Benjamin, and...Ginn? This went on for years w ith no real sense of urgency. Even when they took one early, it was a slow, borderline TE in Funchess.

By all accounts, Gettleman had done a decent job building a team that looked to be ready to be an annual contender until last season's hiccup, which was do more to key injuries than bad GM choices.
BTW- Gettleman grew up in Boston (Mattapan), attended Boston Latin and went to Springfield college. He had a decade long sucessfull HS HCing career, before he went to the Bills as an intern and quickly transitioned to personnel as a scout. He then moved up the ladder with the Broncos and Giants before getting the Panther job. He's 5 years younger than me. I grew up in Dorchester (next Boston neighborhood over). I never knew him though I know people who did.
FYI - Boston is really small area wise, and anyone who ever grew up there would never say they are from Boston. You were from Dorchester, Mattappan, Roxbury, Hyde Park, JP, or WRoxbury. Your neighborhood was your identity, not the city.
Cam's sandlot style is just as much the problem as whoever he's trying to throw to.WR has always been weak but Cam has been able to overcome it.

I will maintain my anecdotally confirmed position that the fact Cam Newton remains an undisciplined, immature dope with delusions of grandeur has NOTHING to do with race.Uh oh....that post could be construed to be obliquely racist..in which case you'll owe Cam and all his forebears money.
"“I said it since Day One: I’m an African-American quarterback that may scare a lot of people because they haven’t seen nothing that they can compare me to,” the Super Bowl-bound QB responded."
Don't even TRY to marginalize Newton. Focus instead on that white fairy cheating liar of a lucky his wife's richer than him jerk, Tom Brady.
So says the Patsfans member whose avatar is a mugshot photo of a black man in police custody."anecdotally" is a racist term used to keep everyone who doesn't understand its' meaning down...welcome to 2017
It might've been a reference to him feeling relieved that his career future no longer hinged on managing that erratic numbskull Cam Newton.Interesting how the initial tweet from CAR said he was "relieved of his duties". Fired, indeed!
Ha! I live 40 miles from Charlotte, so there are some. Mainly Clemson fans - ugh.
