3 Apparent Finalists for the GM Position


Recommended Posts

According to Ian Rapoport, the Panthers have lined up 3 candidates for a second interview: Adam Peters (49ers), Monti Ossenfort (Titans), and Scott Fitterer (Seahawks). These apparently seem to be the finalists for the General Manager position. 

Based on this and earlier reports, it seems that Tepper is deferring to Matt Rhule's choices for the GM spot, and all of them have familiar connections to Rhule. The analytical guy that Tepper wants could come from another source. 

Don't know if it matters, but it's interesting that 2 out of the 3 finalists come from the Bill Walsh/West Coast style of team building, and one (Monti) is from the Bill Parcells/Belichick school of team building.

Still wish they'd bring in Joe Schoen, but I've resigned to these 3 and would be happy with any of them.

Correction, Monti is from Parcells school, Fitterer from Bill Walsh school and Peters has influences in both (Patriots/Broncos/49ers). I like that diversity of different team building skillsets, maybe I'm rooting for Peters after all.

But don't you guys think with so much history that the power dynamic will be skewed? Personal relationships, especially from coach to player, might not make Peters fight as hard for a player he likes if Rhule doesn't agree.

    • He was saying Ron hid when he was cut/traded whatever that was.  I get being resentful, and feeling like that was gutless.  He, and Ron, neither are from the ‘breaking up with someone in a text or email is okay’ generation. That avoidance is seen as a lack of character.  Talking about it on camera how many years later? Why? And it is all one sided he said she said stuff. As he is speaking I am thinking well I bet that ain’t the whole story.    Between this type of stuff and him cheating on the wife stuff some of his shine is wearing off. 
    • I was very critical of Ron Rivera as a coach for a range of reasons. But Steve Smith has been playing the victim for years now and it's just not working anymore. We know for a fact that he was disgruntled from the moment we drafted Cam Newton because of his own ego. That says more about him than anything he could say about Rivera. And yes Ron Rivera had a lot of faults. No excuses for it. We were right to move on from him. But ultimately Steve Smith couldn't hold it together with that group the same as he struggled to hold it together under previous regimes. He needs to grow up and accept his own role in the last few years of his Panthers career because there are things he could and should have done differently the same as anyone else. Stop seeking to only shift blame to everyone else and evolve or just stop talking and fade away. This isn't helping anyone and it is certainly not helping his image.
    • A friend of mine was involved in building Steve Smith's house and nearly came to blows with him during the process.  Love Smitty as a player, but I've heard very little good about him as a human being.
