That's my thought too. Honestly RR and Dave where first timers in their roles for Carolina. Image all you want and be around football for many years, it's different when you're talking GM and headcoach.

I member Logan talking about being a head coach, he had a bit of wisdom. He said "you're either the first to know or last " about many happenings. Dave had to deal with cap hell(which lead to asking gross for a paycut), resign cam&luke, Greg hardy nightmare, hurney contract mess, Steve Smith, Williams mother's funeral fumble, mountain of injuries, etc. 

They're certainly learning. I love this new approach.

Shows they do have a heart, and realize they've made mistakes. As much flack as we give our staff, they've opened their eyes on issues. Gettleman jumped the ship early and showed a change through the way he's currently managing the offseason and his change of approach in cutting core players.

Rivera has spoken about a new offensive future multiple times, and so far cutting Tolbert shows a glimpse of that. Now we'll just have to wait until the next season to see the beauty of a true NFL offense in action. 2015 showed us we can reach that pinnacle, we just need to adapt and evolve. 

I love this new approach by our guys.

I could be wrong, but didn't several of the players that were angry at the front office learn about their release through twitter or other sources before the front office contacted them?

Was it the Jon Beason trade and Captain or who? I can't remember. We all know why Josh Norman, and Steve Smith were angry. Maybe it was Williams.

You would be wrong.

Steve Smith took the statement that everyone was being "evaluated" as an affront, but he was still told of his actual release in person, as was DeAngelo Williams.  

Josh Norman heard the tag was rescinded via his agent, but that's standard as Josh was a free agent at the time. He wasn't released.

These three are all the players that have thrown a fit about their separation. I'm not sure three counts as "several".

People invent their own version of  history to support their agendas.

"This is business, the NFL is a business..." Yet in another thread these same individuals will be hollering how such and such player isn't classy or is classless. Lol

Classy move by both Rivera and Gettleman. Looks like they're learning, or it could be they like Tolbert a lot. Still, a classy move!

      Dan Morgan has the chance to do the funniest thing

      I don't think Rodgers but probably not for the political reasons I bet a lot of posters are motivated by. I just think he is not the QB for the Panthers, at all.

      It wasn't great but  the 2022 NYG won 9 of 16 games plus a playoff game. He had a 92.5 passer rating. 15 pass TDs 3200 yards, 7 rushing TD, 700 yards 6 fumbles 3 lost.  His first season he had 18 fumbles lost 11. Wow.  Anyhow he had problems in 2023 with injuries and didn't win poo before tearing his ACL. This year, no Barkley, not good, but you know.... these ACLs take a while and it was right and he throws right so pushes off of it.  I agree it doesn't hurt to let that guy compete cheap. You don't hand him the job like with Bryce or NYG with him.  When I look at what we have been saddled with, he doesn't look worse and has the physical advantage. So I don't get the umbrage given our situation. This "No we won't settle for anything less that the best" attitude and then taking Bryce Young was pathetic and I think that attitude brought us to where we are. That's where that poo gets you. Away from Mayfield, away from Darnold, even away from PJ - just to replace them with an inferior PJ.  At the same time I am not really advocating for the guy just looking at it objectively. It could be another guy with the same story. And yes the odds of him getting it are low but the numbers and performance from 2022 are for sure better than we see with Bryce even after a season of major propping him up with better players around him. Take a look don't take a look he fails or he doesn't fail...   to instead sit here and be happier with what we have is bullshit.
