So, it's official that Fitterer is either a willing participant in this poo show or is essentially a figurehead with a GM title?

Rhule has final say. Period. At the end of the day, Fitts was brought here to be a babysitter and paper pusher.

Why would Fitterer take a job like that?  Was he desperate for some reason?

You know the guy with 608,222 posts says the model you describe is inaccurate, says Fitty is a "traditional GM" in every sense of the word...

...who are we to believe?

Probably because it was the only GM job he was being offered or seriously considered for. Beggars can't be choosers.

I understand your stated position but can't figure Fitty's logic for putting himself into such a scenario?

If he's truly a babysitter & paper-pusher and Rhule has final say on everything, then, Fitterer is not a GM and he took some job other than GM.  A business card that says "GM" on it does not make one a GM.

I do see that he has previously had GM interviews with the Eagles, Chiefs, Colts and Jets (probably others?) and when we hired him he was only 47...

...is the school of thought one where he saw his window closing and for some reason took a job that really wouldn't even meet the requirements for being a lateral move?

Seems illogical...

What a damning draft pick summary. Barely anything about the prospect but just a summary on a coaches hope for self preservation.

It has been a selfish endeavor so far, trying to get rid of our Keep Pounding. Targeting the "face" of the franchise and still a good QB at the time for immediate disposal to make yourself/selves defacto "leaders" of that professional locker room coming straight outta Baylor. It was Teddy, it was Joe, it was Sam, it was Cam. They came in and had no answer at QB, only that they had to have a prior amateur football connection with Rhule. The results were all tied to a common denominator, Matthew. Matthew was underperforming and allegedly ordered to hire NFL coaches.

I think his character analysis is correct. Everybody got thrown under the bus on the way to 10-23 and getting "it" 1000% and us understanding that it was his "system" failing in real time after scape goats were no longer there.

Why wouldn't the same guy favor self preservation over the interest of others? I smell what he's cooking there.

I can't figure out why SizzleBuzz is still here. Maybe he'll leave when his BFF rhule is fired

Hes been a good addition, most just dont like the questions he asks or the way. (maybe a female given the emote usage....⚠️) I think hes in love with Tepper more than Rhule.

Until the Panthers find a long-term answer at quarterback, and fix the offensive line, it's going to be hard to see a long-term direction.

But at the moment, they've chosen to go with organizational stability, rather than join a quarter of the league starting over again, picking through a diluted market of coaching options.

 Tepper said it would take time to fix what he viewed as a depleted roster. His actions suggest he's prepared to allow this staff time to work on it.

This team is a joke. It's a lesson on how to buy and f*ck up an NFL franchise and lose fans.

Tepper can learn and get better, but it's gonna take time.... apparently.

This is not a good time to be emotionally invested in this team.

See it for the joke it is and find something else to care about. Let this team just be a curiosity until Tepper gets his head out of his ass and remembers his brass balls on his desk and fires Rhule and hires some that has a clue.

I agree but I don't think tepper has lost any money on the Panthers.  Plenty of network money and other sales keep coming in.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
