Dave Gettleman FIRED as Panthers GM

This 100% had to do with Gettleman wanting to release Thomas Davis and/or not wanting to extend Olsen. 

Was just about to say this.  I'm sure the fact that TD and Olsen weren't happy about their contracts and becoming potential hold outs didn't sit well with Big Cat.  We know Dave has no emotion when it comes to players and contracts.  Business is business, but Big Cat runs this organization like family.  So after the Steve Smith thing, and the JNo thing, it appears JR had enough and was not about to allow 2 key players to walk due to a stubborn GM.

This is shocking, one of our better GM's in franchise history fired after the draft and right before the start of the season?!

The Panthers have a lot of explaining to do. I really hope the reason is better than he hurt players feeling by not handing out crazy Hurney contracts for past successes.

I hoped our franchise had turned the corner and was on a path toward sustained success. This is not a good look.

Ron should have been shown the door before Gettleman.  I'm shocked and thought this was some kind of clickbait joke.  Gettleman showed he was pretty set in his ways and didn't show much wiggle room on that.  Maybe that had a bit to do with it.  He clearly didn't need to be let go so soon.  Wow.

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
