Will Gettleman's next team be your new favorite team?

Aint changin, still a Panthers fan & still a Raiders fan, regardless of who's running the show, coaching the players or under center... A bit disappointed, yes, but changing teams is the definition of 'fair weather'....

Oh, I will jump up and down with joy if the extensions that TD and Olsen are about to sign are team friendly....I don't think for a moment that they will be though.

That said, you and I will not agree on the left tackle issue this team has faced since Gross pulled out, and that's OK.  There have been precious few LT's that we have been able to try to acquire...just the nature of the beast of our terrible cap problems a few years ago, teams not letting quality T's walk, and the college ranks not putting out as much talent at that position as years past.

That said, I don't think the Kalil contract is as bad as many here....and it could be a great contract if he plays at a high level, and remains healthy.  (not really counting on either of those)

I know we were dealing with cap issues for years. I liked Gettleman overall, and think he did a lot of good for us here, no doubt about it. But in relation to the OL, I won't mince words, I think if we did more the last several years to address depth along the line, we would have been hoisting a Lombardi Trophy in 2016. It's going to bother me for a long ass time, but it's how I feel. And ultimately it falls on Gettleman and Rivera.

At this point I wouldn't blame anyone if they did. some of us fans have been through a TON of poo and I can totally see how this last move would be what broke the camels back for some. Like the rug being swept out from under them. 

For me I love football Sundays too much, love the players past and present too much to just stop watching. Love going to the bar or to a friends to root on the panthers, even though I will always know JR is holding this org back, I will root dispite that ignorant old man.

Most are mad at JR, not the players.  There is nothing wrong with asking for more money, and nothing wrong with the Panthers saying no.

Correct.

I don't believe Olsen or Davis went in trying to have Gettleman fired, but yes I do believe their lobbying helped it happen. 

My guess would be both are a little shocked now, and yes probably having to do some damage control. Basically, "I wasn't trying to get anybody fired. I just wanted more money."

And yeah, I believe them.

The one guy truly deserving of venom right now is Jerry Richardson.

Wow, that's a strong statement coming from you, Mr. Scot.

I'm assuming it's a "yes" for Sam Mills Fan, the greatest, HogMollieSmaht, PanthersUnitedTheSequel, thebigcat, Raiders Super Fan/R0CK N R0LLA, who else am I leaving out? Wanna get all the snakes out in the open.

These aholes were saying the same thing to people upset about Smith leaving lol.

 

Go find a new team blah blah blah, Smith is just a player and you are supposed to be a Panthers fan....

I dont think these guys were so attached to DG rather than the assumption on why he was fired, a meddling owner wanting a yes man, rehiring Herny and putting family values over long term success. At least thats how I feel, I liked DG for the most part.

The responsibility for this falls on his shoulders and his alone.

I agree. Personally, I think this happened because of one argument and JR made a knee jerk emotional decision. That's the only scenario that really explains why nobody had a clue this was coming. If it was really how he treated the players, there would have been some clue that something was brewing before this happened.

You've been told already but the amount of water in your eyes is preventing you from being able to read anything. 

Just listen to Hurney's press conference. "Communication" was brought up several times and he literally said it wasn't a knee jerk decision.

What we have been told is all speculation. Nobody actually knows but JR, dumb ass.
