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.

      Great season regardless of what happens. From starting out 4-14 to ending 44-38 is incredible progress and future is bright from here. I do think we can beat the Heat and then win on the road against either Orlando or Philly assuming Embiid doesn’t miraculously return sooner. But if not, a higher draft pick is nice too

      I know a DT that's asking for a trade: 🤔 maybe a home discount can be worked out. Dan Morgan could create up to $80 million in space through restructures of stars like Derrick Brown, Jaycee Horn, or Taylor Moton. They could also include players like Tershawn Wharton ($18.6M cap hit) in the trade to balance the salaries. Carolina Receives: DT  Dexter Lawrence II New York Receives: 2026 2nd Round Pick (No. 51 Overall): A premium Day 2 selection that fits the for  Lawrence  after his 0.5-sack season in 2025. WR  Xavier Legette : A young, high-upside receiver who provides the playmaking depth HC John Harbaugh needs for his offense. 2026 4th Round Pick: Immediate mid-round value. 2027 4th Round Pick (via MIN): Future capital acquired in the  Adam Thielen  trade.  ----- Stone Forsythe* (another young player as a potential trade option)provides immediate offensive line retooling for HC John Harbaugh.    John Harbaugh's history in Baltimore proves he values draft volume over individual superstars.    Just my 2cents

      Moved to Tuesday, not Wednes because of scheduling with Flyers game or something in Philly. But I don't feel good about the Heat.  It has been a great season regardless.  Team just been playing so hard to move up since a bad start and just picked a bad time to get gassed.  It's like almost everyone is shooting cold at the same time even wide open shots.   Maybe atmosphere and playoffs kick off a spark.  I'd rather be in a series than a one and done though. The team has a good foundation to build on regardless of what happens.
