I love TD, he's one of my favorite players of all time. But don't be "irked" when people connect the obvious dots. 

 

Was TD the sole reason Gettleman was fired? No. Was he the final straw? Almost certainly.

I think Olsen was moreso the final straw. Gettleman was actually working on a deal for TD.

Either way...they both had some influence on JR's decision, without a doubt.

There's a very simple way for reporters to "solve" the TD/Greg rumors.

Ask both TD and Greg this question: "Did you or your agent "go over David Gettleman's head" and directly mention or discuss the status of a new contract with Carolina Panther's owner Jerry Richardson?"

Yes.

Or no.

If the answer is "yes" then, yes, TD/Greg... you ARE in part responsible for the dismissal of David Gettleman.

If the answer is "no" then, no, you bear no personal responsibility in the least for the dismissal of David Gettleman.

The above is written in no way to cast a value judgement on Gettleman's dismissal, that's a totally separate issue (of which many of you already know how I feel).  Its merely to make clear the case of what might have happened prior to Gettleman's dismissal.

Now the question for fans is what do YOU believe?  Did TD or Olsen (or both) or their agents "jump the chain of command" and have a personal talk with Daddy Jerry?  Or did they keep it "strictly business" between player/agent/GM?  

It would be interesting to hear the answers if the above question were asked.

      Dan Morgan on Rich Eisen show

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      I’ve turned from a staunch detractor to him now having my 100% support. 1. He turned the worst o line in the league in to a top 10 unit in 1 offseason. Incredible.  2. Contracts to Horn and Hubbard. Reward your ride or die homegrown talent. Neither contract was way out of line for market value.  3. All of the talent he has added are intelligent, high floor types who love competing.  4. He understands that an org lives and dies off of the draft. This was the very first draft that I can remember since… ever where the franchise didn’t make a boneheaded trade and/or waste a high pick on a project tweener. No. It was Tepper sitting by almost completely mum, watching Dan orchestrate Dan’s draft…. picking intelligent high floor dudes from big name schools who showed up to play every Saturday and loved competing. It just felt right.  5. He has shown no reservation in cutting bait on guys that he sees as not having what it takes. This is really big one. It’s what the good teams do. Without it, you get the ‘coach’s guys’. Complacency. Stagnation. All these dudes needs to watch their backs.  I see him building a young core who have displayed NFL level ability. For the first time in a really long time it feels like the captain of the ship actually knows what he is doing.

      Jake Guentzel was a pretty elite  player and he fit us very well. And we’ve only had two offensive elite forwards under Rod. That’s Jake and Miko. Sample size is pretty small and I feel like your arguments biased. We are going to get an elite player or two In the off-season, we can be the judge of that this time next year.

      Canales Addresses CB position

      Defense is overall bottom 5 without a doubt.  We literally do no have any depth on any position for the defense.  We are once again a couple of injuries away from being complete garbage again.   I assume next draft will be defense heavy.
