David Gettleman Gets Let Go
I’m excited to see all the reports that are going to come out of this Gettleman situation, because whooooooo-eeee! That was unexpected!
Panthers have had a lot of success under Dave Gettleman. They went from occasional upstarts to consistent successes, this past year not-withstanding, and this past year really wasn’t the GM’s fault. You could argue a lot of the current successful team was built on previous drafts, but Getty images still did a great job getting the team into a more financially successful position, one that can keep the team consistently powerful.
Early speculation seems to be that financial reason is exactly why he’s been cut. Jerry Richardson seems like a sentimental guy who wants to overpay veterans and friends. Dave seems like a guy who wants to win. Maybe not quite Patriots levels of heartlessness, but enough heartlessness to make the tough choices that will help the team in the long run. Things like letting an old and overhyped Josh Norman walk. It was a surprise move, but so far seems relatively fine. Norman is still good but he’s not worth the dumpster of money Washington is paying him.
This is one of those firings where we probably won’t know the full story for a while because it was probably all internal personal human drama. People who can’t work together due to different views. By all accounts Gettleman has been a success in Carolina. We shall see what happens now.
Also: Baby Boomers & Gen-Xers obsessed with my generation not doing things the same way yours did: Have you tried avocado toast? It’s delicious.
Congratulations to the lucky franchise that gets a shiny new GM with a track record as strong as Gettleman’s, because unless there’s something truly abhorrent about him that’s about to be made public, he’ll have a job by the first day of the offseason, at absolute latest.
What are the odds yet another team fires their gm this far into the offseason?
Jets/5
Make a list of all the team’s good players the team has had the last 5 years. Is their name Kony Ealy? If not Gettleman had nothing to do with signing them. I’m kind of lost how a team can end a season with everyone shocked they overperformed for their talent year after year and then everyone gets confused when they dump the guy that keeps putting a roster out worse than the year before.
The last season wasn’t Gettleman’s fault? Am I living in a parallel universe where Carolina had no defensive backfield, or did everybody see that last season? 6-10 isn’t “regressing,” because you regress to the mean, 8-8. 9 fewer games is an epic collapse. It has to be either coaching or personnel, does anyone want to say it’s coaching?

Fuck yeah! Avacado toast is amazing!
Also, rich people who have no idea how much things cost are what’s wrong the previous generation. Where is it $18 to buy avacado? It’s like that dude who thought cable was $300/month last week.
One of the tags should be “distracting pink shirt”
I mean Gettleman signed Matt Kalil for +50M
The dude’s lucky he stayed for that long.
I think that avocado makes pretty much any food taste better.
I can afford it, though.
Looking at other comments and the article, is avocado really that expensive? I don’t eat it but I never thought it could go anywhere past $10
It’s probably that expensive out of season. No idea why anyone would buy stuff out of season though. It always tastes disgusting.
easy there baby boomer sympathizer, clearly you don’t spend the extra $$$ on organic, non-gmo, free-range, bedazzled avocados with insurance policies on them
Not necessarily.
Food can be out of season in some places but in season somewhere else.
But that means bringing that food from someplace else, which means paying for the logistics.
And if the food you are buying is only produced in a few places of earth at that time, buying fresh will cost you.
Avocado isn’t that expensive here, it’s Smashed Avo on toast at Hipster Cafe that’s expensive.
Other popular arguments in Australia go along the lines of “Millennials are just greedy, they want to live within two hour’s commute from their job when there’s plenty of cheap houses in Griffith or any other outback town with no jobs.
Honestly as someone who lives in such a small island, I never thought anyone’s daily commute should go over 1 and a half hours. In now way wanting a short commute makes someone greedy
at least they’ve stopped blaming Generation X for everything.
Wait until you are 40 and there is a new generation of young people to blame.
Cam needs to start getting some of the blame.
“he’s not worth the dumpster of money Washington is paying him.”
What else is new?
Marty Humely is back. Bye bye Panthers cap-room.
“Gettleman Fired For Not Signing Sexy Rexy”
That was missing from the wheel.
I’m slightly disappointed, Dave.
I dig the mr poopy butthole reference.
Ahhhh, back when Dave liked Gettleman…good times, good times
Oh man, about Gettlemann and the Giants…
That’s how the Corporate Media writes their “news” no facts, but lies and speculation.
