Yeah. I told my son during the second half that I can't wait to see what he can do with the roster over a few seasons.

 

Rhule controls the roster...

...Fitterer gathers info and executes on Rhule's calls.

Fitterer's "GM" title is simply a PR courtesy -- Rhule is the GM.

All coaches control the final 53. Coaches usually identify the "type" of players they want and the GM usually goes out and gets them in any good coach/gm relationship.  Fitts is far from a figurehead and completely runs the draft and free agency. He engineered all the draft trades, draft confidential on panthers.com made that quite clear.

Uhhh yeh Fitt has plenty of power. He was the drafting leader. The group looked like they worked well together in panthers confidential video on YouTube

100% agree, very competent exec...but he works for the GM, and that's Rhule.

He made the phone calls...

The Appaloosa Model is collaborative in nature but Fitterer doesn't have "GM" powers, those powers reside with Rhule.

If you truly believe that then we should have kept Hurney.  "Rhule is the GM" right?

The GM builds a roster of 90 players that he thinks fit what the coaching staff are asking for.  He has final say on the draft and FA.  The coach evaluates that roster and picks the 60 players he think will get the job done.  He has final say on the in season roster.

That's how it works.  This doesn't preclude massive collaborative work between the two.  It's very clear that happens.  But each has final say in certain situations, and it seems to be working out pretty well.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
