My GM take and why it's more accurate than most

JR couldn't control DG. Point Blank!

 

JR and DG likely had a sit down at the house in front of the infamous Grandfather clock. A disagreement or several disagreements surely ensued. DG said that he was the GM and he was going to run the team a certain type of way, to which JR said, I'm the owner and you will do as I say.

 

DG probably said no way, I'm going to run it like this because it works, probably smarted off and told an old more rich guy that he was wrong and would run his organization into the ground if he didn't listen.... old rich guys don't like to hear ish like this, so JR likely fired him based off of this.

 

This makes more sense than anything else I've heard. I'm sure I'm not the only one to come to this conclusion either but I haven't seen it being said.

 

If there were any doubts that this is exactly why he was fired, then look no further than Marty Mart being brought back in. He's the epitome of a JR yes man! JR will say something and ole Marty Mart will jump as high as possible. 

 

It also doesnt sound like ole Hurn Dawg is planning on going anywhere after this season according to him. The only thing he's interested in is eliminating the "interim" label in front of his title.

 

Losing Gettleman won't do much to hurt us this season. The team is pretty much set, minus a few signings here and there after cuts. These signings are usually stop gaps anyways.

 

Lets see if we can go get it this year! 

 

P.S. FUG YOU BRONCOS!

I agree at least partially with this.  I think there was some tension, and the negotiations with TD and Olsen were the tipping point.  As recently as May, the relationship was obviously good enough that we would let the guy we've been grooming for the GM position leave for Buffalo.  Shortly after, Greg and TD decide they want more money and an extension, respectively.  Now, all of a sudden, the relationship has went to hell in the last two months?  Don't think so.  Sounds like JR gave DG the freedom to run the team the way he saw fit but always within JR's limits.  Making tough decisions regarding long-time Panthers and fan favorites was not included in that.

Well, I've been saying basically the same thing ever since I listened to the Beason interview. It makes too much sense when you consider the suddenness and abruptness of the firing.

You can't get into a dick swinging contest with the boss and expect for it to end well. He may let you showcase your junk and smack a few upside their noggins from time to time, but when he tells you to reel that baby in, you better do as he says.

      XL about to turn the corner

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
