Gettleman was fired for not wanting to sign Olsen and Davis beyond this season

The thing with all this hand wringing about Greg Olsen is, even if we did move on from him, who do we replace him with? We didn't have Ian Thomas, or any young TE prospect with upside enough to remotely begin taking the reins. The best TE Gettleman brought in was Ed Dickson, and he was already almost 30 at the time.

Admittedly Olsen's contract isn't all that ideal, but he's about to retire anyway. Regardless of all that, it isn't Greg's fault that we decided to draft the biggest bust we've seen in years in Vernon Butler.

Thank God Hurney was able to get Thomas; otherwise, we’d be in some trouble at the TE spot. 

Anyways, in the long battle between Getts and Hurn, I feel both were trash and time has passed them by. I stated this a few years ago, and I’m stating it now; we can do much better than both and I’m hoping Tepper is able to finally get us a good GM.

      Steelers fans will take over the Stadium and city   It will be unbearable  worse for me, on the west coast, resigned to the nfl network and you know it will be a steelers broadcast team.    It was ungodly bad with sheduer 2 weeks ago  Last game, tried listening  on panthers radio and  watching  on espn live last week but the delay between the 2 drove me nuts  so as bad as they were playing, found something else to do

      I mean I don't have a personal axe to grind with any human on the Panthers roster.  I know AT shouldn't be dominating the slot. The fact he is....is because we have a horrific front office/management.   I can part with any player.   The goal is a winning team.   the root of the AT ranting, is really just looking out for BY (people like to call me BY hater though).  A QB who was basically screwed from day 1 when we got drafted here.  I went hard at Carolina then too for setting him up to fail. Because it was obvious from the jump the setup was failure by design.  Which was true.   I said Frank bad zero sense with BY.  Miles Sandes made double zero sense.  The players they got in FA made zero sense.     Either you build a BY O.....or you move on from BY.  I have said I am cool either way.  We are in no man's land and have been there since they day we drafted him.

      It's the QB school guy mentality. Thielen is a shitty #1 option so aaarrrrggghhhh FUUUUUUUUUG HIM!!! This dude SUCKS!!! Yeah, Thielen should no longer be a #1 option at this stage in his career. He honestly shouldn't be a starter at this point in his career. But it's not an Adam Thielen issue that we've had to ask him to do that.
