Again and again Gettleman has sent the same message, I suggest you all get it along with the players on this team.

 

This is a business and then a family. You will get paid, per what you are able to do, if you make to much take a cut or be released.

 

I get what you are saying but the timing is what bothers me about this...what does that do to the psyche of your offensive line (which has had struggles) when you take away a vet who has been running with the ones throughout camp?

 

I like the precedence that Gettleman is setting but I just wish he had done this before camp.  If Moore or Wharton is signed they won't even be able to practice (in pads) for two days.  This is just a recipe for early offensive line struggles in the first month of the season.

I think it's too early to judge this decision.  If we use the cap savings to get better help and/or extend people that need to be extended, then that'll be fine.  But if don't use it for anything, I don't get it.   Let's see.  Gettleman has been money so far.

Proof this is not a "Let's All be Friends Year."  Hangman was a great guy, but they were paying him to be a starter, and the judgement was made he wasn't up to snuff.

 

Gettleman did him a favor by cutting him now when he has a shot to make another roster.

 

But make no mistake, this is only the beginning.  Gettleman has made it clear the expectation is to win this year, and there will be consequences for those who can't make that happen.

 

It has been over 4 years since our last playoff game, and over 7 years since the last playoff win.  It's unacceptable.

 

Gettleman has referenced several times how well the players have been treated in this organization (and the insinuation is maybe too well). 

 

JJR isn't getting any younger, and he knows what winning a Superbowl means to his legacy.  With the unfortunate passing of one of his sons, it does highlight the very real possibility ownership moves from the Richardson family when the team is sold when Jerry passes.

 

I believe the team will always be in Charlotte, but at this point in his life, I think winning a SB is the most important thing for JJR professionally, and Gettleman has been given the responsibility and authority to make it happen.

Oh man, everyone is exploding over this. If you go back and watch him get terrorized with 0 run push and 0 pass protection you'll love Gett's move

 

Getts watched our entire 2012 season and there was no way he didn't see Piggy's awful performance.. I'm glad he's gone.. he was a backup who ended up starting

Im not saying he should be a starter, he obviously knew he was already on thin ice after drafting Kugbila. Releasing him completely is what is questionable to me. We all know that depth at oline is our biggest weakness, thats all im saying... Being friends with our best leaders and team captains may sound arbitrary, but I've got to wonder if those guys are thinking the same thing that I am.

 

which is why it would be smart to see if that money needed cleared to sign someone like Moore..  if we cut Hangman and sign Wharton, I'm right there with you.  But nothing else in this post helps me think Hangman was worth keeping around if we can get a guy like Moore with that extra dough..

you man the fug up and play football..  nothing really irritates me more than worrying about a bad player helping the psyche of your team..

not a fan of cutting ties with one player without a replacement/upgrade in the wings. i hope there is one. 

 

the timing of it is what i thing is the hard thing to come to grips with. it's kind of a shock. i think we all knew this was coming at some point, but now? why? of course you could also ask why not....

I don't think anyone is upset over Hangartner being gone...its more along the lines of who's his replacement.  Byers, Kugbila (on his bike)?

 

Gettlemen said there was a plan and maybe there is but right now it isn't clear to the fans...and it doesn't necessarily have to be but we have a right to be a little confused.

 

Even if we do sign Moore or Wharton in my opinion hangartner could have still provided a solid backup.

He is a great backup tho, why release him? Getts can go out and his 33 year old Wharton and 33 year old Brandon Moore all he wants. 

 

going ahead and replying to this since it's the next logical response to my post just above...

 

 

that's a decision a real GM had to make with 100% of the info instead of our mere speculation..  I'm sure he feels there are capable backups.  Moore being 4th best guard in the league isn't that baffling of a decision if they needed a little extra room to make this happen..

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
