For people who are angry with Dave Gettleman..

Recommended Posts

Have you taken the time to think that Dave Gettleman may not have been been the only one who thought it was time to let Smitty go? Don't you wonder what kind of input he got from Ron, Shula, etc.? I wonder what they were saying during all of the discussions.

Gettleman claims he is good at listening to others and not just doing things his way, which he backed up by keeping a lot of coaches and scouts here. So I have to believe that there are a good number of people who are on board with this and share a vision for what they want.

As for how he handled the situation.. The media probably made it seem much worse than it really was. Smitty is the best panther of all time so anyway we got rid of him would have turned into a drama story.

Honestly, I am more ticked off at steve than dave. The panthers have paid Steve very well in the past 10 years. They were super loyal to him and treated him extremely well considering some off the field issues and trade demands. 

Now after 10+ years of the panthers feeding him very well, Steve has a chance to help out the panthers by taking a pay cut. What disappoints me is he would rather get cut and collect guaranteed money than rework his deal to play out his final 1-2 years with this organization. Gross did it why can't Smith

Not even sure if Smitty is going and we have lots of data points to gather in the next 5 months

 

I'll be mad at Gettleman if we go 8-8 next year

 

if we go .500 next year, it will be the sudden demise of the OLine which is more at fault

I guarantee you if G-man had his mind made up about this situation and asked Rivera for his input and Ron said 'we NEED to keep him,' G-man would've done it anyways if he thought it was best for the franchise. I just don't believe he's right in believing that it's the best move for the franchise going forward. We'll see in time, but as of right now I'm very upset. This is along the lines of trading 3 first rounders to move up in the first or some ridiculous Hurney crap like that, in my opinion. I trust Gettleman as he's who was hired to be the GM, but I'm not happy about this decision if it becomes true.

For the people who are mad at gettleman. Stop just looking at this season. Smitty is set to rake up a lot more money in the next two seasons after this one. Yeah, its only 7m now, but smitty a year older from now will make 13m and then 15 m a year after that. We gotta cut the cord now so we don't have to deal with dead money next few seasons. Long term folks.

We aren't upset with the decisions he's making as much as how he's going about making them. You can be a businessman and not be a prick. That type of thing has a ripple affect with your roster.

Do you know what meetings, conversations, etc happened in this situation? I thought not.

I'm not angry at all but I sure hope he knows what he's doing. I have to admit I am pretty nervous due to the fact that the secondary, o line, and receivers are pretty much gutted. Couple that with the panthers being cap strapped and it's enough to raise a few eyebrows. Hopefully fa and the Draft are kind to us!!

Do we know for sure that Steve was offered the option to take less money??

    • That he gets worse while at the same time getting more exposure is just typical.
    • And, yes, I've been a slow boil, but watching continually watching shitty displays of football for weeks has me frustrated.  
    • Bryce just didn't maximize Hunter Renfrow's skills. ***rant incoming*** But this isn't just about Bryce Young mistiming passes to Renfrow so bad that he's going to get Renfrow killed or hurt, this is also about incompetentence by Dave Canales. Renfrow can still play. He's putting DBs in a blender out there---making them play twister at the top of routes to keep up with him, and dumb Dave has the nerve to cut him. How about putting Hunter in the best position to help the damned offense by appreciating his skill set, DC? You're letting Bryce's apparent inability to make an accurate throw, or at least his timidity to push the ball down the damned field cloud your judgment and miscalculate talent---or maybe just miss on talent just as much as Bryce misses passes due to playing pussified football. It's fúcking unacceptable.  Speaking of misjudgment, I don't know if it's Dan Morgan or Canales, but Eijiro Evero is not the business at DC. I have said a few times that his scheme is not conducive to run-stopping efficiency. Hell, and after watching some clips of plays, now I absolutely know why. The gaps are at least half open before the play even fúcking starts. You are setting the opposition's RBs up for success with too much damned space at the line and in the second level. If our guys are taken out in these areas---at the line and in the second level---then the defense is screwed because it must rely on the safeties to cover too much ground to make the tackle. At least put Ransom in who is motivated to seek and destroy if you're going to effectively leave the safeties on an island.  And speaking of rookies, get our two new defensive ends more snaps to see if we can't generate more of a pass rush. For all the good the continued sorry display of defense that you're putting out for fan's to see (Ejiro, Dave and Dan), you may as well get the rookies generously involved. Fúck that money we gave second-rate (maybe second-rate) vets, we need a damned spark getting after the QB. Watch it, it's just another breakdown of the sh¡t we were subjected to last week. I say this with all respect: Fúck you, Dave! Fúck you, Dan! Learn how to run a fúcking franchise. Maximize the players, regardless of what you think you're supposed to do by the book. Cut the dead weight before another season is lost and fans lose interest in September. EE is "Ew!" Or for emphasis "EEw!" /end rant
