If Gettleman's firing has anything to do with not extending geriatric franchise icons we're doomed

[Jon Snow]

If TD and Greg had anything to do with this I will lose all respect I had for both of them.   And that breaks my heart to say.  What's even more sad is that JR actually did it, if true.  No matter how you try to rationalize this what JR is doing to this team will most likely set this team back a decade.

Love TD, but if his extension is the reason DG was canned, then this is really not a good look for us and sets a terrible precedent. TD essentially has one year left. I'll catch a lot of heat for this, but I wouldn't extend TD either. Gettleman got us out of cap hell with unpopular moves. Any objective student of the game can tell you we were on our way to becoming a stable winning franchise.

It is these feel good BS Hurney contracts that land us in cap hell. Cap hell that took DG few years to fix. Now that we turn the corner, we wanna go back to doing the same thing that DG came in to fix. Insanity is doing the same mistakes and expecting different results.

Richardson should either become like Jerry Jones and meddle away, or let the GMs do the job they are hired to do. Also the fact that they won't publicly say why he was fired also speaks volumes i.e. it was some emotional, impulsive BS. Been a fan more than 20 years. We've made some bad decisions, but I think this takes the cake. This is self sabotage.

What I'm scared of now is a GM coming in and it's Hurney all over again and then we're fuged for the next 5 plus years again. 

that's basically what's going to happen

 

no gm with any kind of special ability to evaluate talent is going to see this as a viable place to make history

 

we're going back to the dark ages. back to 2009-2012

I've got a freaking headache.

Sad fact is we'll never truly know. The team isn't going to say, and i doubt Gettleman does either. 

It'll all be opinions based of rumors, and our fans will never stop beating the dead horse that is their opinions based on rumors.

I am also concerned lot of top notch GMs won't wanna come here. At least the perception will be you will be working under someone that can pull the rug from under you any minute with no rhyme or reason.

Basically he's worth more than he's being paid. Business is business, the panthers owe him his worth, right?

Actually the Panthers owe him the value of his contract...that's it.

Richardson is the boss. He said when he fired Hurney that top management had ultimate control and any GM would have to understand that. Gettleman likely got in a pissing contest and said my way or the highway. Richardson showed him the door. He had no choice if he came down to who ran the show. Any GM who bucks an owner will have the same thing happen.

I might just have to go into a rabbit hole until JR is gone.

Why is Jerry Richardson meddling? He is so far removed from the game it's sad. Yes he is the owner but look at the results of owners that meddled in football operations. Al Davis ran the raiders into the ground. Jerry Jones hasn't seen a championship playoff game since the firing of Jimmy Johnson 2 decades ago. Not saying Gettleman was the greatest but why wait so late to fire him?
