That's my thought too. Honestly RR and Dave where first timers in their roles for Carolina. Image all you want and be around football for many years, it's different when you're talking GM and headcoach.

I member Logan talking about being a head coach, he had a bit of wisdom. He said "you're either the first to know or last " about many happenings. Dave had to deal with cap hell(which lead to asking gross for a paycut), resign cam&luke, Greg hardy nightmare, hurney contract mess, Steve Smith, Williams mother's funeral fumble, mountain of injuries, etc. 

They're certainly learning. I love this new approach.

Shows they do have a heart, and realize they've made mistakes. As much flack as we give our staff, they've opened their eyes on issues. Gettleman jumped the ship early and showed a change through the way he's currently managing the offseason and his change of approach in cutting core players.

Rivera has spoken about a new offensive future multiple times, and so far cutting Tolbert shows a glimpse of that. Now we'll just have to wait until the next season to see the beauty of a true NFL offense in action. 2015 showed us we can reach that pinnacle, we just need to adapt and evolve. 

I love this new approach by our guys.

I could be wrong, but didn't several of the players that were angry at the front office learn about their release through twitter or other sources before the front office contacted them?

Was it the Jon Beason trade and Captain or who? I can't remember. We all know why Josh Norman, and Steve Smith were angry. Maybe it was Williams.

You would be wrong.

Steve Smith took the statement that everyone was being "evaluated" as an affront, but he was still told of his actual release in person, as was DeAngelo Williams.  

Josh Norman heard the tag was rescinded via his agent, but that's standard as Josh was a free agent at the time. He wasn't released.

These three are all the players that have thrown a fit about their separation. I'm not sure three counts as "several".

People invent their own version of  history to support their agendas.

"This is business, the NFL is a business..." Yet in another thread these same individuals will be hollering how such and such player isn't classy or is classless. Lol

Classy move by both Rivera and Gettleman. Looks like they're learning, or it could be they like Tolbert a lot. Still, a classy move!
