I know there are some on here who want to keep him and some who don't. For clarity though, I would ask this question:

How many of you have ever been put on a group project in school or at work where the person in charge of the project was a dumbass?

Not much fun when your results are affected by the work of someone who doesn't have a clue, is it?

I've been there. I suspect you have too.

That particular dynamic is a big reason why I'd like to see what Fitterer and Morgan can do unencumbered by the incompetence of Matt Rhule.

Here's hoping we get that chance.

I think Fitt could be a solid GM.  He’s already shown aptitude when it comes to trading during the draft, and I think we all know Rhule’s the one calling the shots on the actual players selected.  He’s trying to build something with a hammer tied to his nipple and both hands behind his back.

I have a lot more confidence in Fitt than I do Rhule just based on how he navigated the last draft.

A lot of the rookies they drafted have high potential and they might be really good, we just dont know because Rhule wont play them. 

How Fitt navigates this year with no 2nd and 3rd will be a testament to his ability as a GM imo.

I think Fitt and Morgan with a new head coach would be a great thing for the Panthers.

We finally got out from under Marty Hurney as GM for good only to wind up stuck with a full power head coach that Marty was instrumental in choosing...

It's like he never left 😒

Trading for Henderson was on Rhule.  Rhule even said they were looking at him the year prior.  I don't blame Fitt for that trade.  I'm not sure who made the call on Darnold's 5th year option, but I doubt Fitt made that call all by himself though.  So I'm willing to give him the benefit of a doubt to see what he can do with a new HC.

I think the Rhule hire was all Tepper.  He knew he would be firing Hurney so his input was nil

I know Tepper had the final decision on the hire, but I'm not certain he knew he was going to fire Marty at that point.

Most of what I've read seems to indicate that what got Hurney the boot was a conflict of styles with Rhule. For whatever you think of Rhule, we do at least owe him for that.

Throw in that Tepper isn't exactly the most discerning guy when it comes to football knowledge. Before he trusted Rhule, he trusted Marty. Even went so far as to call him a great talent evaluator.

Gotta believe the Robby Anderson extension was probably influenced by Rhule as well.

Fitt’s personnel decisions have been spot on. Darnold was a low risk, high reward proposition. We essentially lost a 2nd round pick for a guy who a lot of people thought could be rehabbed. 
 

We are loaded at one of the most valuable positions in football (DB). 
 

Imo his draft was pretty good with Horn, Tremble, Nixon, Hubbard, Marshall etc.

Vastly overrated by Panthers fans. Another offseason close to the last one and it will be confirmed. 

How much was Rhule? No idea. But just going to his 'Yes Man' to co-conspirator ranges it is not at all reassuring or encouraging to me. Maybe it works out but I'm not expecting it to break that way. He looks like a Rhule quality GM.

      I believe in bryce...

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Icege · Posted

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
