Is the Gettie trying to do too much too quickly?

[Stroupe-a-loop]

Was referring more towards Smitty. Gross retired because he was done! Not because Gman forced him out. Gross even said that the team is in good hands! Doubt he made that up, so yes, he used to be!

I hope you are right because if Gettleman offended Gross with that restructure, we will be in much worse shape this year for some minor savings last year. It looks like it may be the same thing this year with smitty. I hope Gettleman has some sort of larger plan.

How? Facts, I want Facts

 

 

I am not giving facts or sources but I know for a fact that it is true

Ace, you are dreaming stuff up now! Gross decided to retire last year before Smith was even an issue

[Gin and Juice]

Yeah sure! So much BS out there now, when fact of the matter is Gross could have gotten a healthy payday for two years! He retired because he was done, not because of Gman

The Gettie?

 

...personally, i'm starting to prefer Ghettoman....

Last season Gross basically said he'll only play for Carolina.

[Gin and Juice]

And he did! Up till he decided to retire. "Sources" claimed Gman tried to bring him back, but he was done. Went out reassuring fans that the team is in good hands

Can you cut more than one person with the June 1st designation?

Two a year.

Gettleman had a lot to do with gross retiring

 

Father time had a lot to do with Gross retiring. He has been hinting about retiring before Gman was even the GM.

He said the Panthers wanted him back but he was done at his retirement ceremony. It was reported Gman met with him twice trying to get him to stay. You don't meet with a guy twice you're trying to get rid of.

Fans need to cut this crap out about Gman forcing Gross to retire. Bottom line, if Gross wanted to play then 8 teams would be bidding on him today and he would be free to pick where he wanted to go!

Yes, Carolina would have bid on him but we can't give him what we don't have.

I know, I know....how can we keep JStew and not Smitty. Thank Hurney for making Dwills and JStews contracts untouchable.

Lets say you worked for the Panthers for a long time and got hired on as the GM for the Cowboys or something.  You would not have any emotional ties to the players and you would see things objectively, not through team colored glasses.  I think this is what is happening.

 

I agree wholeheartedly. Still just doesn't seem right.

There is a reason Gross said he didn't like Gettleman last year. Why do you think that is? Gross learned the way Gettleman operates and left why he could on his own terms.

He didn't force him and that's the whole point. He left before he would be forced out down the road
