Bill Voth: Jerry Richardson Not Liking Where TD Talks Are Going. Prefers To Ruin Our Future And Fire GM.

I'm sorry. I love TD to death. But football is supposed to be a business, and we have a perfectly young promising talent in Shaq Thompson in the wings.

So when I saw this as the primary reason, it's safe to say our window just got a whole lot shorter:

With likely loaded contracts going to aging vets when we have young talent in the wings (and who we'll probably let go due to such), I don't like how the franchise looks going forward.

Jerry Richardson will likely install a "yes man" GM who will give out loaded contracts to guys he likes and ruin our future. Even though Gettleman just had one of his best offensive drafts of his career, and is one of the best at evaluating talent.

This firing makes no sense at all.

No its was DG's ego holding this team back and I beleive Ron & DG had a little bit of a feud going on for couple of years

Does Richardson want to give TD a 5 year 70 million dollar extension or something? How could they be that far apart? Maybe DG wanted to cut TD?

I would assume it went more like this:

JR:  Extend TD.

DG:  No problem, but what he wants is way higher than we can afford to pay and keep moving forward...same with Olsen.

JR:  Extend them both.

DG:  You running the team or me?

JR:  No one is any longer.  Get out.

Goddamnit I knew it. I swear this is no way to run a successful franchise. As much as I love TD, I will really resent him costing us years of potential success if he got Gettelman fired. He always said he was about the team and all the loyalty he had been shown... Maybe Dave was fuging up and not even talking with TD?

I don't know I'm torn by my respect for what Gettleman has built and love of guys like TD, Greg, and in the past the way Smitty was handled.

Probably said a bit differently, but my impression is you probably nailed the gist of the conversation.

Bye bye, Cam's prime years.

    • Have they though? I'll give you KC with Kelce, but c'mon, they weren't winning those SB's because they had a great TE, it was a combination of Mahomes and some great defenses.  Will also give you the 49ers and Ravens with Kittle and Andrews, but even then, both have missed time with injuries the last few years. After those 3 teams, the best teams of the last 2-3 years have not had elite TEs The Eagles had Goedert, he's good, not great. The Bills have also had good but not great TE's The Rams have had average TEs and still consistently run 2 and 3 TE sets with them and still win. The Bucs have been winning the South without a great TE The Lions' Laporta is more a name than a highly productive TE. The Texans have had a serviceable TE in Shultz, but nothing too amazing. Some of the best TE's in the league the last few years have been on some of the worst teams.  McBride, Bowers, Warren, Njoku, even Pitts this past year. A true elite TE is absolutely a weapon in today's game, but I think the best teams use that money elsewhere and find serviceable TE play, usually through a committee where each TE brings something else to the table.
    • When it comes to evaluating talent, the equation is actually pretty simple. If you're elite in both the measurable traits (size, speed, strength) and the mental side (IQ, instincts), you're looking at a Hall of Fame trajectory—assuming injuries don't derail you. If you're elite in one area but just decent in the other, you can still carve out a Pro Bowl career. Decent in both? That's your typical NFL starter. But here's where it gets tricky—and where a lot of athletes, especially the ones who dominate practices, find their ceiling. If you're not a starter and you don't excel on special teams, you won't last in this league. The roster math is unforgiving. That "what if" game has been playing out in Carolina for a while now, especially at wide receiver. You've got guys who light it up in practice—everything looks smooth, natural, effortless. But when the lights come on and the defense throws a look they haven't seen on tape, the processing slows down. The game speeds up. And when they have to think instead of just react, they crumble. That's the danger. Put a player like that on the field—any position, really—and expect him to process on the fly, and you're setting him up to fail. Now factor in that he was a top-10 pick, not some late-round flier or UDFA. A franchise invested everything in him. They moved pieces around, changed coaching, changed systems—tried everything to help him succeed. But here's the reality check: if he's out there, remember that the guys lining up across from him are also getting paid millions. And their job is to find that weakness and exploit it every single snap.
    • I think he'd make a good QB spy role in those mobile QB games, like Chicago. Just send him at Caleb every play.
