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.

    • My general thoughts on the roster as it stands right now:  - Most interesting positions to watch: TE, NT, WR.  - If we add a TE I feel like it'll be a bigger name FA or Kenyon Sadiq in the 1st round. I don't expect us to take a TE that early with our need at tackle, though, so it's likely one of the top FA TEs or we ride with Tremble/Sanders/Evans again. Signing a mid-level FA or drafting another mid-round TE isn't going to help us at this point. We have three of those guys already.  - I don't buy the 1st/2nd round WR hype. I do think we will sign someone to play the slot because XL is... not good. John Metchie, Juan Jennings and Calvin Austin would make sense if the money does.  - NT could be interesting because I don't get the sense that they view Bobby Brown as a true starter. This could be a position we look to add a veteran starter at or possibly take one early in the draft.  - Devin Lloyd was a huge addition, but we need another starter beside him. I fully expect us to go after one in the 2nd round. Jacob Rodriguez makes a ton of sense here.  - The Luke Fortner signing gives us a veteran fallback at center this season. I don't expect he'll end up being our long-term starter, but it's likely he will at least begin the year atop the depth chart. Even if we draft a center it's unlikely that player ends up being a day-one starter. But I think right now we're likely targeting a center in the 3rd-4th round as that seems to be where the value is.  - We have no punter on the roster. Interested to see if we sign a veteran or go the draft/UDFA route.  - The OT situation is pretty bleak. I now fully expect us to take a tackle at #19, but even after the Stone Forsythe signing we also need better depth there. Brady Christensen would be an idea re-signing; I also like Jamaree Salyer from the Chargers as a younger option that still has room to develop.  - Guard depth is also lacking. Again, having a versatile backup like Brady Christensen would go a long way toward having some security for our entire OL, but even if he comes back we should add another veteran backup, IMO.  - I assume Lathan Ransom would be the starting FS if we played today, but we know Evero loves him some Nick Scott so I won't be surprised if/when we re-sign him. He's basically the defensive version of David Moore, unfortunately. Ideally we'd look to add a true FS, but I don't get the sense that is a big priority at the moment.  - Nickel corner is a need and I fully expect us to sign someone in the next few days to upgrade over Chau Smith-Wade. Long-term, I won't be shocked if we go CB earlier in the draft than people might expect given Mike Jackson's contract expires after this year.  - I wouldn't be shocked to see us sign a RB. Sean Tucker or Brian Robinson could be interesting. We know what Chuba can do, but Jonathon Brooks has to be considered a question mark at this point.
    • Considering the Raiders and Crosby’s disagreements about his health late last year and the Ravens’ history of being an extremely well run organization I lean towards the Ravens not being in the wrong here
    • Hoping for Chig as the TE signing.  N'joku and Goedert are more proven and names, but give me the guy entering his prime that hasn't missed a game over the older guys with better stats but injury history.
