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

If TD and Greg had anything to do with this I will lose all respect I had for both of them.   And that breaks my heart to say.  What's even more sad is that JR actually did it, if true.  No matter how you try to rationalize this what JR is doing to this team will most likely set this team back a decade.

Love TD, but if his extension is the reason DG was canned, then this is really not a good look for us and sets a terrible precedent. TD essentially has one year left. I'll catch a lot of heat for this, but I wouldn't extend TD either. Gettleman got us out of cap hell with unpopular moves. Any objective student of the game can tell you we were on our way to becoming a stable winning franchise.

It is these feel good BS Hurney contracts that land us in cap hell. Cap hell that took DG few years to fix. Now that we turn the corner, we wanna go back to doing the same thing that DG came in to fix. Insanity is doing the same mistakes and expecting different results.

Richardson should either become like Jerry Jones and meddle away, or let the GMs do the job they are hired to do. Also the fact that they won't publicly say why he was fired also speaks volumes i.e. it was some emotional, impulsive BS. Been a fan more than 20 years. We've made some bad decisions, but I think this takes the cake. This is self sabotage.

What I'm scared of now is a GM coming in and it's Hurney all over again and then we're fuged for the next 5 plus years again. 

that's basically what's going to happen

 

no gm with any kind of special ability to evaluate talent is going to see this as a viable place to make history

 

we're going back to the dark ages. back to 2009-2012

I am also concerned lot of top notch GMs won't wanna come here. At least the perception will be you will be working under someone that can pull the rug from under you any minute with no rhyme or reason.

Richardson is the boss. He said when he fired Hurney that top management had ultimate control and any GM would have to understand that. Gettleman likely got in a pissing contest and said my way or the highway. Richardson showed him the door. He had no choice if he came down to who ran the show. Any GM who bucks an owner will have the same thing happen.

Why is Jerry Richardson meddling? He is so far removed from the game it's sad. Yes he is the owner but look at the results of owners that meddled in football operations. Al Davis ran the raiders into the ground. Jerry Jones hasn't seen a championship playoff game since the firing of Jimmy Johnson 2 decades ago. Not saying Gettleman was the greatest but why wait so late to fire him?

      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.
