Dave Gettleman FIRED as Panthers GM

All Getleman did right was manage the cap.  He sucked, plain and simple.  All you guys that worshiped at his feet can now come to grips with the fact that he did used stop gaps to fix hole and had no real plan to build this team.  We had tons of holes and all he wanted to do is draft DL, not invest in WR, TE or DB.  He would have been great for the 1950s.  He sucks now.

The timing of this makes me fear the season is now in jeopardy. The ripples that this could send through the organization could be devastating. fug. I'm not against a change if that's what they felt was due, but right NOW?! This has to be one of the weirdest things I've seen since, well, JNo's contract being rescinded. Come to think of it, they may be tangentially related.

Maybe Gettleman is implicated in some type of crime?  I can't possibly think of another reason besides just royally pissing Richardson off somehow. 

dude all this time I thought people were just joking about the whole mob boss thing

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
