Dave Gettleman FIRED as Panthers GM

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. 

And don't forget that pre-season camp involves not only cuts from your own team but evaluating cuts from other teams as possible additions to your roster.

But I'm sure Ron and Mike can take care of those things.  Meanwhile, JR is drawing up contracts for TD and GO that will keep us in salary cap hell in perpetuity.

Who was that after we drafted McCaffrey that said enjoy his 5 years here before he heads for Denver?  Whoever that was might be more right than I ever realized.

So, let me say that this is 100% SPECULATION AND IN NO WAY FACT BASED.....but, would it change anyone's opinions if he didn't get canned as much for the player treatment as for the front office defections that have occurred recently? 

That's as reasonable as any other theory out there.

I just don't like this. IMO, Gettleman was one of the best in the business when it comes to building the bottom of the roster, which is a hell of a lot more important than some fans think. He has done a fantastic job of not overpaying all those name players that are released by other teams that some fans crave.

this is a browns move all the way

i know gettleman killed some of your families and all that but even if you love this move so much that your precious little heart is about to explode the timing makes no sense whatsoever

Exactly.  Awesome timing to turn the world upside down.  Totally a Browns/Redskins move.

    • One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.  
    • “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃 
    • Bix has more tds through his first 11 games than bryce has his entire career....no comparison at all he made amazing throws during his first games his decision making just keeps getting better.  Young does not have the physical ability ro make the rhrows bo makes
