Meh. If we take a QB I'll hope for the best whoever he is. I don't have much faith in this regime to develop a young quarterback. Even if it's Willis who I like. But the hype may be getting carried away here already. We should all adjust our expectations and not forget the circumstances.

There are some great looking Uglies this year.

And I'm worried that just like so many other years, we're going to miss out on them 🤬

This is a really awesome OL class in the top rounds, not just the top-3.  Although the top-3 tackles in Ekwonu, Neal & Cross  are top talent in their own right.

Kenyon Green (LOVE), Linderbaum (LOVE), Kinnard (LOVE), Zion Johnson, Salyer, it's such a good interior class.

How is Fitts going to save the team from itself? Either he's a yes man with no power, or he's part of the problem based off the trades and free agents that has been made since he's joined the team.

He’s not on the hot seat next year. The entire coaching staff is.

Will they force him to make draft choices that are not in the long term interest of the team? That’s the question.

Thier job is to win next year or they’re gone. His job is to keep the team competitive over the long term.

Well in a QB year Rhule went DB

so in a OT year he will go somewhere else

Yes, I trust Fitterer much more so than a bunch of guys who know their jobs are on the line.    Rhule and his entire staff understand they need to get players who will help them next season, not guys who are best for the team in the distant future.   The coaches Panther lifetime is 12 months long.  That's it.  Anything after then is irrelevant to them.  And that timeline is just a recipe for disaster with impulsive, short sighted decisions.  

It's another reason to justify taking player control away from Rhule.

overall I think GMs and HCs should be tied together.  Exceptions to that but overall I think it is best.  

find a pair that works and give them a run.  When it ends, it ends.   Not real keen on Rhule flaming out and then keeping a GM that flamed out with Rhule.

I think I'm coming around to this. I'm largely someone that thinks Fitterer isn't even 10% the problem that Rhule is, but I also think he knew when accepting the job he would be playing second fiddle to Rhule. If this season is a trainwreck, fire them both by Thanksgiving, find your GM and let him pick his coach.

🤣 Some of these responses.

I have an open mind. Not my first choice, but...Gotta take a swing to hit or miss.

We have a one pick in the top 100….and are going to draft a day 2 caliber QB with a top 10 pick? 

that’s a swinging at a pitch in the dirt

      I think Indiana will win it all but Miami should give them a much better fight than Oregon did.

      If you need some ‘chills’ to start your Friday….

      When I tell people I was at that game, they usually say oh that’s so cool you had the experience. I call it soul crushing. Why? The weeks and months leading up to it were great, the team was fun to watch every week…some weeks the offense was unstoppable and carried the team (saints and giants road games), other times the defense carried the load (jaguars, tampa). Lots of back and forth games against good teams (Seattle and Indy). Good young players on the team, but the veteran leadership was incredible…from Cam, Olsen, Kalil and J Stew to Luke, TD, Norman, Tillman, Jared Allen, CJ. Role players like Fozzy Whitaker, Cotchery (he caught that MFer), Philly brown, Kyle love, AJ Klein, and so on.  The Friday before the nfc championship my wife and I after a few drinks said let’s see what prices look like for flights/accommodations and we got to talking about how much prices would increase if we waited until we found out if we would be in the big game. We said screw it, we are only out $200 if we have to cancel.  Of course we come out and just pulverized the cardinals in front of the most raucous crowd by far we’ve ever had. We had no idea what we would do for game tickets and then found out a neighbor who worked for the team could get us 2 for face value (each employee got two of their own for free, something cool that JR did).  But then the NFL mafia decided that the storyline of manning going out on top like Elway would give them more goodwill than a non traditional QB who didn’t connect with their target demo and the rest is history. I never have and never will watch that game again. I am just hoping I can see them win one in the 2nd half of my life.
