Your "so far" take on Fitterer

I mean he hasn't really done anything. We have picked up some camp fodder but that's about it. We have also lost some depth at C and RB. The draft will be important but what we so after to fill out our roster will be even more important.

Let’s be clear, this is Rhules team, and he has final say.  Fitterer is definitely a major contributor in all phases though.  I like the moves they have made so far.  The two olineman I’m not thrilled with, but Fox, Reddick, and Arnold look like fantastic pickups.  Still waiting for them to address the secondary...

I like the defensive moves and the contracts for those guys. 
 

offensively we seemed to target two oft injured, mediocre lineman very very early in FA period which is kind of head scratching. Not a fan of those contracts but they aren’t back breaking or anything but it’s almost like we panicked. I’m expecting a heavy oline draft, if not, yikes. They talked about getting younger on the offensive side so we’ll see.

I’m not a fan of restructuring contracts. But fitts commented on that he isn’t either but did it because of the unusual cap this year. Either way I would’ve liked to have seen us not do that. If this is a continuation over the next several seasons I won’t be too happy with it.

But it’s way too early to pass a judgement grade on him. Need several seasons of FA/draft.

Right now, I'm in the "ok, we'll see" mode with Fitterer and Rhule to a degree.  This is a very different team from years past, and I'm curious to see how it grows.  Rhule does have an awful lot of control and influence.  It certainly doesn't hurt he remembers recruits a lot of these younger players.

Is it a model for long term success?  I don't know.  Last season was tough for many reasons.  There were some signs of life later on, and I think that the team is generally moving in the right direction.  I am cautiously optimistic about 2021.

Who reports to whom?

They both report to Tepper.

I concur.

That said, do either Rhule or Fitterer report to the other?

In the traditional NFL model the chain of command is Owner > GM > Coach...

...do you believe it's something different with the Panthers?

@LinvilleGorge, if he spams the Appaloosa stuff one more time, I'd say you have just cause.

    • If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
    • I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
    • It is due diligence at that point. Irresponsible not to take him.  Crossing my fingers on this one, he has everything you look for except experience.
