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.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By frankw · Posted

      If you draft a guy who is healthy and has no concerns about that whatsoever and he goes out and tears his ACL in his first few games in the regular season on a physical play that's a freak accident. But when you trade up to draft an RB who is already rehabbing from a recent ACL tear and he spends the next several months continuing his rehab only to tear the same ACL again after less than a handful of regular season carries in a non contact circumstance that is no freak accident. That is a textbook example of why you do not do what we did. Particularly for what is now a plug and play position. And when you have the highest paid OL in the league over the next two years. None of that makes any logical sense. Legitimately it is and was some Scott Fitterer type foolishness. Now as for XL. The guy has not been committed to his craft. I think anyone with eyes on the situation can and would recognize that. However the warning signs were there. One season of legit production raw prospect that we knew would take time to develop etc. But Morgan and Bryce Young's own father were very high on him. I think in some capacity the reality of our limitation at QB is entering into the equation. Even TMac got a lot of flak over the course of his rookie season for not being able to haul in all of Bryce's passes. At the end of the day our fourth year QB also needs to do his part to maximize the talent we have available. As far as this year. Again. WR round 1 boils down to where are we going to get the touches for the rookie? That would require eating into not only our 8th overall picks touches but also our #2 WR whom oh yeah by the way was UNDRAFTED. I am happy to discuss WR prospects here. I was thrilled we invested what we did last year in TMac because it needed to be done and it made sense from all angles. But nowhere is it written in stone that you cannot draft a good or great WR outside of the first round. Except in the Panthers building apparently. That is not a good reflection on our scouts and front office let me tell ya. Because there's no way on this earth we are going to get back to relevancy and legitimate contender status if we can't pick some gems in the later rounds. Simple and plain.
