That 2nd we lost from Darnold is going to hurt…

Thats why I hold off on proclaiming Fitt to be the best thing since sliced bread.  His cons far outweigh his pros at this point.  He played chicken with the jets and got butt fuged.  He bid against himself.  He should have said a 4rth take it or leave it.  What were they realistically going to do?  Say no and just cut him?

He is definitely a bit of a question mark. He needs roster control to fully do his job. It’s hard to tell if Rhule was pushing the Darnold trade or Fitts the way it’s currently set up.

If I remember correctly it was fitt who approached the jets at someones pro day.  Seems like he initiated the talks.  3 fuging draft picks (obviously one being a 2nd) for sam fuging darnold and we are paying that numbnuts 18 million next year.  Tell me again why we picked up his option?  fuging stupid

The fifth year option blows my mind. The picks are tough to overcome, but that 18.5 million  is devastating.

It sucks but I wouldn't classify at as devastating.  The Robbie deal and the CMC deal (hindsight is 50/50) look worse because they stretch beyond next season.

But the moves he's made in terms of value outside of the ones we know Rhule dictated have been incredible.  Darnold was all Rhule, Fitt just did what he had to do to get Rhule's guy.  

Outside of Darnold, the moves he made in the draft, the guys he drafted, and the other trades outside of maybe Henderson, which still has a chance to be a win for us, have been incredible.  

Rhule is the fuging poo stain that is ruining all of it.  Fitt has a great eye for talent, along with the other personnel guys we brought in.  He knows value.  And he seems to have good relationships built and established with other FOs across the league, which is another invaluable asset to have in your FO.  It's Rhule being the "final word" on acquisitions that is fuging us royally.  It is Rhule and Rhule alone who is seeking out Teddy, Sam, Cam Erving, etc.  I'm convinced Fitterer's mad genius will truly show once we get a fuging professional level coach in here who doesn't want to trade the farm for best-case game managers who consistently grade out in the bottom third of the league starters at their position - all because they had a friendly exchange and a good conversation a couple years back.

Not sure how you can say trading back and getting marshall and passing on tons of oline help is "incredible".  This draft remains to be seen how good it is.  I can see it breaking either way.  And no I dont think Rhule was as hell bent on darnold as you are saying, it was fitt that negotiated the trade.    So yeah I am having a hard time seeing where Fitt has made "incredible" trades for us.  I mean poo Gilmore still isnt in playing shape and we are 4 games from ending the season.  WTF has he done to help us?

Don't we owe Paradis $8m next year whether he plays or not? How did we screw up a fresh start rebuild so badly

Yes--A Hurney contract and the team is on the hook for two more years. Its

I was wrong here--Paradis' Contract was modified and 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 are "dummy" years. He will be a FA this offseason. We will owe him a little money(I think..maybe 3.7 million or so) that will be a dead cap hit but not much.

I apologize for the Misinformation I read Spotrac wrong.

Yeah I don't really understand it. Over the cap still has him as $8m but cut in half if he's a post June 1 cut

      Known Prospect Meetings with Panthers

      By ECHornet · Posted

      Taking only players from the sheet that are realistically available in or after the listed round, I’d like… 1st: DT Caleb Banks (Styles not realistic) 2nd: LB Jacob Rodriguez 3rd: OT Best available from Bowry, Barber, and Casey 4th: CB Daylen Everette 5th: S Jalen Huskey 6th: RB Adam Randall 7th: IOL Best available from Lemieux, Dawkins, Leausa, and Brose   I know nothing about some of the players listed, but it seems like that would be the best way it could fall for now. I’m sure the list of who we meet will change a ton, and there will also be players we don’t meet with to keep quiet. I’d love to pick up Randall in the late rounds.

      Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Not what I said. They know within the building why we aren't utilizing TEs more. If the rumors were true that we were seriously pursuing a couple of decent receiving TEs that strongly points toward a lack of quality receiving TEs currently on the roster. Does that mean we consider drafting one at 19? I don't know, but it wouldn't shock me and if we did there's only one guy it would be. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see TE drafting somewhere in the first three rounds.

      Yeah, I don’t know. Tepper was behind the Bryce selection. Behind firings and hiring over his lack of development.  He doesn’t have to literally tell them their hands are tied for them to know this. It is in the air constantly. The Canales Bryce play calling was even portrayed by more than one person as Canales failing Bryce, instead of Bryce being responsible for his own performance (except when he does well, then it is all him). Now they have an extra coach in, to help the new OC get results from this QB.  The atmosphere is not welcoming to prototypical young QBs that have talent. You get Jake Plummer types or old vets. I think we are stuck.
