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.

      Jalen Ramsey

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Would absolutely love to have him. I dont think he would require more than a 5th rounder. The biggest thing with his contract is the amount of guaranteed money. As long as they can work out and scenario where the Panthers aren't on the hook for a lot of that, I think it's a no-brainer. The Panthers can come up with $20M at the drop of a hat with restructuring Moton's contract, so there definitely isn't an issue from a money perspective. Jaycee paired with Ramsey along with Mike Jack would give us one of the best CB groups in the league. The one caveat I see is that safety still remains our biggest current weakness. We need a starting caliber S more than CB, simply put. But adding someone like Ramsey would be amazing as long as the compensation made sense. Ramsey could also play for FS snaps also. I also dont understand this nonsense about being seasons away. We have a QB on a rookie deal who was playing at an elite level to end last season. Within reason, now is absolutely the time to make moves like trading for Ramsey.

      He'd be a huge upgrade for this year, but we're still not going to be contenders with him and I'd rather keep the cap space to roll into next season to spend on a younger player who can be an impact starter for us for the next 3-5 years while we're hoping to contend.

      Because playoff hockey and regular season hockey aren’t the same thing.  It’s a combination of the game intensity being dialed up with loose officiating.
