fug man, RIP to a legend.

I like the direction we’re heading in. A couple of spots to sure up, but all in all a positive 

[mc52beast]

It only took us two tours of Hurney to realize an upgrade was necessary…

[PandaMan]

Love me some Fitty Cent.  The Fiddler is my favorite nickname for sure, though.

I love the fact that the kicker position is such a huge thing. It’s attention to detail. How many teams have gone through 3 kickers in 4 weeks because “it could be better”? I love it.

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.

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

[DaveThePanther2008]

Rhule has a ton of input. I don't think there is a decision made on players that isn't discussed but Fitterer didn't come here to be 2nd fiddle to Rhule. 

Fit is the GM

Rhule is the Coach

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.
