A quote I'm happy to hear

[TheProcess]

Says the GM after the owner chased Watson around for over a year with his tongue dragging the ground 

[Move the Panthers to Raleigh]

It’s really the only way a team like Carolina can be successful. No FAs want to come here because it’s Bum fug Egypt compared to LA, Miami, NY, Chicago, etc. 

[Aussie Tank]

Only because we missed Watson and I couldn’t be happier

Not sure why that'd be PR.

Different teams have different approaches.

It’s kind of a no-sh*t comment. You can’t compete in the NFL if you don’t develop the players you draft.

It's the model they want to follow...or at least the one that Fitterer wants to follow.

The actual execution of it might get a whole lot better if certain changes are made next year.

We hope. I am starting to come to grips with the reality that Tepper really is far dumber than we think and does buy into what Rhule is selling him.

He might indeed be here for the long term, regardless of results.

It's possible, I know.

But a pretty good portion of what we've seen lately seems to indicate Fitterer has more influence over the team than he used to.

That's encouraging.

If it means we are no longer a 4 year development team for players we draft then I am all for it.

The Patriots did for a long time.

Years of sh-tty drafting did finally catch up to them in the last few seasons.

I disagree because of the previously referenced differences in fundamental philosophy regarding drafting. He would rather have two nickels than a dime. I just disagree with that.

[4Corners]

Yes, draft a player and develop them for the AFC East

It's worked for the Seahawks.

Honestly, either approach can work. What really matters is that you pick the right players.

Sounds like no one wants to come here.

lmao

Fitt has been saying this since his introductory press conference. It just hasn't happened so much, at least the development. This year will mean a lot for the past couple drafts.

Like the Patriots? LA?
