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. 

exactly. Fitt has done well with finding value and giving us the pieces we needed. But the problem has been coaching staff trying to fit a circle in a square hole. They have no clue on what they are doing. Offense looks awful and its really not Cams fault neither Sam. When your oline, playcalling and preparation sucks. Your going to suck no matter what. Despite the offense being hot garbage this year the defense has played well enough to keep us til the 3rd quarter but have no morale about the offense delivering. Get rid of Rhule and go get some sumo wrestlers on that oline.

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

Morgan is a D guy... so thats one sided..can he evaluate oline..etc...Fitt...i'm not sold on...who has he been linked to as far as his input on talent...Wilson wants out of Seattle because of a shty oline...so... im not sold on either....

How much of the player ratings on the big board was on Fitt and how much of it was on Rhule?

If it's on Fitt, I'm honestly not impressed based on what was passed up to draft who we did when we did to acquire more picks.

If it's Rhule, I could cut him some slack as Rhule and his team would have evaluated the talent and ranked them according to where they saw the player's value. Fitt then made calculated trades to acquire more guys clumped in the same talent bracket that Rhule put together. This is more forgivable.

Morgan's primarily been a pro personnel guy as an executive. Fitterer's background is more in college scouting. Between the two of them, it could be a pretty good combination.

I'd add that a few have said they'd fire Fitterer and name Morgan GM.

Not sure that's a real possibility.

Fitterer and Morgan are said to be pretty close friends (i.e. their families hang out together type friends). Morgan also gives Fitterer credit for helping him learn how to be a scout.

Granted it's a business, but if you were to dump Fitterer, I'd say it's far from guaranteed you keep Morgan.

When it comes to player acquisition, coaching-GM dynamics tend to be pretty much the same regardless of who has the power.

The coach sets the scheme, and based on that what he wants in players. Take offensive line, for example. Some coaches want big maulers while others want smaller more agile guys.

(and some guys want "versatility" above all else) 😒

The personnel guy's job is basically to get what the coach wants...

...even if what the coach wants is dumb.

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.

Anyone who doesn't have a conflict of styles with rhule is at this point highly suspect to me.  I doubt Fitters gets fired this year and don't feel good about rhule going away either,but imo neither deserves to be kept for another season.

Fitts resume looks pretty vanilla ... his career looks like mine... find someone who can do your job for you... but since we have another year of BS...lets see what he can do...but, im only impressed with his neck and gut at this point...

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      Coach asked about Coker!!

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
