If Gettleman's firing has anything to do with not extending geriatric franchise icons we're doomed

Olsen wanting an extension i get.  TD lost a step last year.  He was amazing during the 15-1 season, but he clearly wasnt the same last year, which is why Shaq will be playing more than ever.  To tie up cap space in an aging LB rather than investing it in Olsen, Star and our two young Guards is idiotic.  Please let this not be the reason he was pushed out because i will have officially lost faith in JR for good.

You can tell the age of posters on this board by their reactions to this news. The ones who are celebrating are post cam fans and have not seen what blind loyalty to Veterans does to a franchise. 

Those of us who have been around a while know this is a joke and just going down the same paths this pathetic franchise has always taken.

I will wait and see how it all pans out before rushing to judgment, but on the surface this does not seem good.  If the rumors are true, and Gettleman was told to reach a settlement and was unwilling, then the fault is Gettleman's.  He works for Richardson, end of story.  IF there is more to it, well we will see.  I do think there was lingering frustration with the way the situation with Norman was handled last year, and the horrid performance of our secondary.  But the timing seems odd. Actually, it seems terrible.  No point in creating uncertaintity in the front office with the season getting ready to start.

To be clear I don't agree with the move, but I have to think it was a slow burn here, with things he kept doing over time could have rubbed people the wrong way, including vets, coaches, and owner.  I definitely think Ron should have been axed before Gettleman but who knows.  It's shocking but I'm hoping we'll find a good replacement (if there is one).

Basically he's worth more than he's being paid. Business is business, the panthers owe him his worth, right?

Doesn't mean you destroy this franchise's future in place of that. We have VERY important players to sign next offseason, and we might not be able to now.

This is really dumb. The previous GM gave 40 million to an over the hill Jake Delhomme and we sucked for a half decade as a result. GM cleaned up the mess and now we're SB contenders year in and year out. The Browns don't even do stupid stuff like this anymore

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
