This was buried in Bill Voth's minicamp day 1 "Rapid Reactions" write up.  Apologies if this news had already been posted.  If so, I'd missed it.

GM Recovering

Dave Gettleman rarely misses an entire practice, but the Panthers' general manager had a good excuse to sit this one out. Gettleman had knee replacement surgery earlier this week. It went well, but now he has some recovery time before he can get back out to his on-field office.

 

 

Wishing Dave a speedy & full recovery.

Word is that his original knee was refusing to wear shorts while demanding to not have to move on Tuesdays, so Gettleman cut it and went with the rookie. Gotta make the tough decisions.

Pssh, the only time his knees ever see shorts is when he's putting em on and taking em off. 

Was probably a cap casualty.

I hope he drops some weight in all honesty, that is likely what is wearing out his joints

I agree. I didn't want to sound like a Debbie Downer, but he needs to drop some weight. I want him around 10-15 more years

It absolutely is. A lot of doctors won't even do a knee replacement until you loose weight. A lot of knee replacements turn into gastric bypasses, and then magically the knee no longer needs replaced.

WHY DID HE WAIT THIS LONG INTO THE OFFSEASON?! CAMP STARTS IN TWO MONTHS!

Well.... it could have been a VERY VERY interesting draft had Gettleman been pumped full of antibiotics and pain killers...

    • Cooter, Kurb, others have passed on to glory….  Praise be.
    • Oh good for them! Hope this is the start of a long happy time in their lives here.
    • There was no reason to believe in either Cam or Jake as a top tier elite QB before those seasons either. Cam was an "athletic" QB in most people's minds and his passing skills were open for debate. And there was a bit to that as he was still trying to get that massive power in his arm tamed to be able to put some touch on his passes. And then, he did it. Missiles became bombs, the firing lanes became points of finesse. Cam grew up and leveled up, while still retaining the ability and drive to truck people whenever he wanted. And Jake... no one freaking believed in Jake except Jake himself. He got, and let's be honest with this, one chance in a losing game to make something out of his career. And he rose to the occasion like some kind of mythical hero and continued to do so for the season. He became a true leader for the team, and his gunslinger capabilities rehabbed Moose's career and created Smitty as a force in the league. Smitty went from a barker to a biter. But no one believed in Jake going in. And they trashed him on his way out. Now Bryce... who knows? I've seen some improvement. Maybe he finds his footing. His teammates seem to love and respect him and that means a lot. The game should be moving at his speed now. He has weapons available to him and maybe a defense that doesn't just roll over by the third quarter. And his coach seems to be moving this team in the right direction. Could he do it? It's up to him, if he can find the magic like Jake and Cam did. But don't doubt this, magic is really, really hard to find.
