Difficult to excel as an NFL GM with a shitty quarterback that's getting paid like a top 5 guy

He shouldn't have been fired at all.
frick Steve Smith's precious feelz. Dude was never anything but a locker room cancer. Only player he ever gave a flying frick about was Steve Smith.
Love Thomas Davis, but it was painfully obvious he had lost a step last year. And, at his age, its only going to get worse. Why in the world would any sane GM want to re-sign him to more money?
And Greg Olsen is the best TE in football. But, if the offense changes this year like we have been told it is SUPPOSED to change, his catches, yards, and opportunities go down with McCaffrey and Samuels catching the mid-to-short routes. That's why he wants more money than the $6.5M he's making NOW instead of at the end of next year when the output won't look as good. If the new offensive players contribute like they're supposed to, he'll just be another receiver instead of the 2nd most important person on the offense as he's been the last 2 years.
Gettleman took over a disaster of a roster in salary cap hell and rehabilitated it to a Super Bowl and made the playoffs 3 times in 4 years.
Now the owner wants to go back to the old ways and overpay veteran players. Get back up to having so much money tied up in washed up vets that the good rookies that come to the team can't get paid and will walk at first opportunity.
Hey, but the "vets" will be real happy in the locker room! (As long as they don't GAF about winning.)
Yay.

Gettleman was trying to be like Bellicheck, cutting or not extending older players after they have peaked. Charlotte is a small market team with two prominent players seeking extensions, who are quite involved in the local community (local charities, their own foundations, etc). I'm guessing gettleman didn't want to extend Olsen and Thomas Davis's contract, and the "big cat" (Jerry Richardson in Charlotte, Ernie Ladd everywhere else) wanted them to stay.

I always heard that Steve Smith was short, but now I'm convinced he's very, very small.

Holy shite, you're an idiot on multiple forums. That's quite an accomplishment.

Gettleman might be a dick, but he needed to cut bait with Steve Smith, and he did.
He's managed the roster about as well as anyone could have done in the time given. As a Saints fan living in Charlotte, I can objectively say this is a mistake by the panthers.

Yeah I forgot he had no hand in helping Carolina assemble a team that could make the Superbowl... How foolish 
Posted on 7/17/17 at 4:42 pm to tduecen
Especially since the previous GM is now a local am radio host, and had previously extended both RBs for large contracts.

Anthony Bright, a practice squad player, suffered a broken nose and was hospitalized for two nights in the fight that broke out during a film session Monday. He filed an incident report with Charlotte-Mecklenburg police following his release from the hospital.
The Panthers have already suspended Smith for Sunday's home game against Atlanta.
"We knew this was a possibility," Panthers general manager Marty Hurney said of Smith's jailing.
Smith was charged with assault inflicting serious injury, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Capt. Cam Selvey said. As a misdemeanor, the charge carries a maximum sentence of 120 days imprisonment.
Fractured orbital bone for Bright, btw.

Wow, I can sure see now why Smith was such a respected leader.

Carolina Panthers receiver Steve Smith was sent home from training camp Friday after he punched teammate Ken Lucas during practice, causing the starting cornerback to be carted off the field holding an ice pack to his left eye.

A three-time Pro Bowl pick, Smith has had trouble controlling his temper. He was suspended for a game in 2002 after punching teammate Anthony Bright during a film session. Smith received counseling for anger management, and a lawsuit filed by Bright was eventually settled out of court.
Smith was never a leader. He considered rookie WRs "threats" and never helped them. And what he considered "leadership" was actually finger-pointing in the locker room about what everybody else was doing wrong.
He was a cancer. He never practiced or played a single second where he didn't consider "Steve Smith" to be the most important thing in the world.
