From what I read, it sounds like Fitterer wants to do things "the right way", i.e. draft a quarterback and build around him (with Person noting that a lot of the pieces have already been put in place this offseason).

Rhule and Tepper, on the other hand, seem to be wanting to win now. Rhule especially so because he needs to save his job.

Basically, it sounds like if we draft a quarterback it'll mean Fitterer won the debate. If we sign a free agent or trade for one, it'll be Matt Rhule.

If rumors are accurate, Hurney wanted to trade up to get Herbert. Obviously Rhule was not in agreement and we have Brown. 

It’s a catch-22.  First round Hurney is amazing, but trade-up Hurney is horrific.  Which would prevail?

This offseason has a different feel than last.  I really think Fitt is making most of the calls (with Dan Morgan being in there, too) and hoping it stays that way.  Rhule’s lack of NFL experience was blatantly obvious to everybody except David Tepper, so he may have made some changes to let the big boys who know what they’re doing take charge.  We’ll probably never know

That’s why we got Fitt in there making all the decisions this time around. 

Do we know this?  I really don't know, but Rhule may try to intervene on draft day. 

Jesse's assertion is #fakenews🤦‍♂️

"He and Fitterer both report to Tepper, but Rhule's in charge. Rhule and Fitterer have a good and complementary relationship, and the chemistry and respect they have shown as they get to know each other seems genuine. But yeah, if you want to make a chart, Rhule is the top non-Tepper name on it."

I'm more curious about the article regarding what Fitterer said the owners meeting. 

Anyone read this?

It's actually posted in one of the other threads.

(I don't remember which one)

Makes sense since a rookie QB isn’t going to amass the wins Rhule needs to stay afloat and he might not be here to “develop” one.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By CRA · Posted

      my understanding is a big time throw, could be a 5-10 yard slant to Adam Thielen given AT isn't going to separate.

      It's a subjective stat that PFF made up. https://www.pff.com/news/pro-pff-qb-grading-most-effective-tool-there-is
