Dave Gettleman FIRED as Panthers GM

[CPF4LIFE]

Remember DG didn't draft the core players are this team, and now he was ready to get rid of them.....Wasn't gonna fly.

Guess we don't like winning.

Can't run the team with emotion.

No way we keep all of our young pro-bowl DTs and OGs when we resign Peppers and TD to 3 year contract extensions. Maybe we can sign Delhomme and DW back just to throw away some extra money.

Hearing rumblings that Dave was going to likely retire after this upcoming season. 

If true, why fire him now of all times??? Just look for his replacement until then!

After another MVP season for Cam this year he would need a pay raise too.

Because 40-23-1, 3 playoff appearances, and an SB appearance mean nothing to trolls. This move only makes them think they are right.

Can a mod pin this?

I'm having to unblock so many users so I can read their cries now that daddy is gone.

Have not heard back yet whether Jerry Richardson will speak to press. Has a quick statement in team site release. Think public wants more.

I'm not even a huge Gettleman fan but this is an unmitigated disaster right now. Having no GM in place right before the season is really, really bad

[CatMan72]

Wow, WTF... seriously hope this wasn't over the handling of one player (TD) as rumored. 

[Hallin'AllDaeDae]

We lost KB in training camp, and now we lose a fuging GM and all hope is lost ?

You idiots

Players are pleasantly suprised

Oh my GOD, this is going to be the funniest day in the history of this site. 90% of you worship Gettleman AND also can't tolerate any criticism of the team whatsoever. I cannot wait to read your reactions.

If you're laughing, then you're a shitty Panthers fan.

Firing of a GM right before the season starts shakes things up a lot. Especially when you consider that there are two important vets waiting for new contracts/extensions right now and a total newcomer is more than likely coming in to make the contract calls now. So, yeah, if the team was right on the edge of having a successful season, I don't think it's crazy to predict this pushes them to the other side a bit. 

 

I am not one that believed we were on the verge of a Super Bowl run(like apparently some do). Mostly, "wait and see." And, I am just not buying that this will have a tremendous impact on our success next season. Minimal at best and largely from the distraction aspect, which will probably die down before the season even starts. He isn't a coach. He isn't a player. This should have minimal impact on team dynamics, play calling, player production, etc. I can't buy into that argument.

I won't cry over this.  Never a Gettlemen fanboy.

I imagine....more was on the horizon in regards to how Dave was going to treat veteran Panthers.  Dave probably wasn't going to budge from his ways.  Richardson then fired him.  My guess.  Olsen deal was out there, Davis is out there, etc.  Bet JR got tired of treating guys like Patriot players
