Recommended Posts

Saying Rhule makes finals decisions nullifys even hiring Fitt in the first place and pretty much excuses him from any bad decisions. Nobody was saying this when were 3-0. Stop the BS.  We should just get rid of him now if he has no say and is just a Yes man and also he is far from the best GM we ever had if this is his role.

I'll give you QB, but how could the OL be better if there were no better options in FA?

We spent a top 10 pick on what has become the deepest position on the roster after continued moves. A 2nd round pick on a WR who hasn't really been much of a factor. A 3rd round pick on an OL who has been unable to supplant terrible veterans.

"Bid against ourselves and paid a kings ransom for Sam Darnold"

Dude a 2nd round pick is not a kings ransom.  So no.

 

I know Darnold isn't panning out but taking a gamble for only a 2nd instead of a 1st or mor, is fine. He took the gamble and it was going to go two ways man. It works or it doesn't. Unfortunately for us it did not work out. 

Everything else is on point at least. Fitterer is doing a wonderful job, getting Rhule players he wants, this is more on Rhule than Fitt.

I said the other day his grade should be a solid C, but after sleeping on it this dude has failed in just about every aspect of his job..

Cons:

Bid against ourselves and paid a kings ransom for Sam Darnold

Pick up his 5th year option unnecessarily therefor tying us with him for 2 years

Extending Robbie Anderson.  I mean wtf was that?

Being cute in the draft and not addressing our main needs (QB, line) and letting talent slip by for a wr that we didnt need

Signing Erving and Elflein on day 1 hour 1 of free agency

Trading Perriman

Giving up more draft capital for a corner that is rumored to hate football and has played limited snaps and trading Darnolds safety valve in the process

 

Pros:

Gilmore for a 6th is great but then again we have to sign him and I imagine its going to be an expensive 3 year deal

Signing Reddick albeit to a one year prove it deal

Signed Daquan Jones

 

I am probably missing some stuff on both sides but damn the bloom is most certainly off this rose.  People on here were kissing his ass after the draft and I told people patience.  Sure he is better then hurney but the darnold albatross is going to pull this franchise down for 2 solid years

 

The deal for Sam is an all time awful…he got fleeced by the jets…and now we are stuck with an $18m cap hit because he bought his 5th yr option without him ever being in a Panther uniform…and lost 3 draft picks

gave up a draft pick and a potentially good TE for a head case that’s hurt and may never play…got fleeced by the jags

Went after & paid 2 OL that both suck way too much cash

reddick was a good pick up…Gilmore was too, but we may not even have him next yr…jones was a good pick up, I think

ill give him a big fat D…probably should be an F

I'll give Fitt a C overall. Rhule wanted Sam. While I don't like the way he's played, the actual trade itself was a good one if Rhule had him graded higher than any QB not named Lawrence or Wilson. Elf and Irving I give a D. Too soon and too much for what they were on day 1 no less. 

The draft has yet to be determined. We had so many holes just being able to field a team was going to be difficult. There are definitely things I would have done differently, Slater, a C and Trey Smith, but you never know how things are going to fall once the season starts. Hell, Marshall could be the next Randy Moss but it doesn't matter if he never gets the opportunity. 

Rhule is on a much shorter leash for me and his off-season I give an F, and in season I won't even give a participation trophy.

Anyone that had any criticism or debate the first 3 weeks was slapped down by 'we are winning'. It was complete mob rule until the Dallas game.

This offseason was terrible. Even with Rhule being #1, there remains a ton of doubt about Fritts at this time.

Considering a better QB in Minshew was traded for a 6th round pick, yeah what we traded was a relative king's ransom given the caliber of player we were getting in return. This brain trust seems to put way too much emphasis on a veteran player's draft position years ago. Oh, Darnold was a top three pick. Oh, Erving was a former 1st rounder. Who gives AF that some other team made a terrible mistake? Using that mistake to justify or at best attempt to sell your own terrible mistake is a pretty awful look.

Believe me i wanted Minshew, but for whatever reason they did not want him. Why? I have no idea, theoretically giving up a 5th for Minshew and keeping that 2nd for the future would have been ideal but again, hindsight man. If Minshew didn't pan out, well you still have your higher round picks. 

 

My point was, he said Kings ransom, that's not really what we paid, it was a hefty price, but not a kings ransom.

"King's ransom" is relative. If you pay $40k for a rusted out POS vehicle then you paid a king's ransom relative to what you got. Yeah, that's a paltry sum compared to a Bentley but you still way overpaid. We basically paid $40k for a rusted out POS with a blown engine that was headed for the crusher.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
