Said it in another thread last week, but Ron and Co. better win some games early, or this could turn even worse.

 

I'm not sure what exactly is going on with the Panthers, but I'm not liking it one bit.

My reaction to this whole story and thread:

It's kinda hard to buy that a guy who's been a loyal employee since the beginning of the franchise suddenly latched on to a new GM and turned against the owner.

If I were guessing, I'd say he was fired for performance reasons.

If I wanted to go conspiracy theory, I'd say Hurney is firing a potential rival.

In the end though, I wasn't a fan of Koncz so this doesn't bother me. It does surprise me though.

Agreed that I don't have strong feelings one or the other. I don't think it was knocking off a rival unless he would get serious consideration for the job which seems unlikely. And if it were performance alone then why did Gettleman promote him unless Richardson did let Gettleman do his thing and now that he is gone, Richardson was free to do it his way now. My guess is that Gettleman and Koncz were philosophically similar and therefore dissimilar to Richardson and Hurney.

This is the most likely scenario.  JR wants his guys around him....his yes men.

We have seen many rich people, celebrities, athletes that surround themselves with folks who won't tell them no.....it usually ends poorly.

But that raises the question of how he got as far as he did before Gettleman got here.

Koncz was already in charge of Pro personnel when Gettleman was hired. He wasn't promoted higher until this offseason (the same one in which he was subsequently fired).

If Koncz was on board and a trusted member of the Panthers staff for the past 20 years, what could he have done to get canned particularly on the heels of Gettleman getting fired. The timing appears too close to be a random event or coincidental. They have to be connected.

I acknowledge the possibility.

Unless Koncz himself speaks (and I don't see anyone seeking that out) I don't expect to get any actual explanation.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Bama Panther · Posted

      It was absolutely a catch, and I can’t believe how many folks were stating, before the NFL’s apology, that the overturn was the right call.  The ultimate question in this case is this: can a player complete a catch with only one hand? Of course, we all know the answer to that question, and it is an emphatic “Yes.” T-Mac maintained complete control with one hand (believe it was the right) while the other came off when the ball hit the ground. The ball was in the same position in the one hand (watch T-Mac’s fingers in relation to the NFL shield on the ball) after touching the ground as it was when it first went to the ground. Going back to the question above, if one hand can establish control, then there was no need for the other to stay on the ball, so long as the ball doesn’t move in that one hand that stays on it   It blew my mind that they overturned this in the first place. This should not be a “We got it wrong on the replay because there wasn’t clear and convincing evidence.” This should have been, “That was absolutely a catch.”

      Sign him up. I am willing to bet he wouldn't finish a game with -2 yards.

      Why Panthers’ Dave Canales won’t run a QB sneak with Bryce Young

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      He is just fuging limited in every way.  On one hand, and nfl player, you would want to bulk them up so long as it doesn’t limit their mobility, elasticity, flexibility, ROM, or dynamicism - as is the concern with bulking up.  But the issue with that is, you would be worried about that when a guy has those traits to begin with.  Bryce is a very average athlete with a weak arm.  So if you’re not gonna be a great athlete with a strong arm, bulk up.  And if you can’t or won’t bulk up, find another fuging profession that doesn’t require athleticism and arm strength.  You’re built like a bitch AND aren’t a great athlete - you can’t be subpar in both categories…  well, unless you play for the Panthers apparently.
