It seems like a common sense statement, but a recent interview by Scott Fitterer and the tone in which he talks about the best players getting to play regardless of any other factors such as pay or seniority is truly hopeful.

It also signals that Scott has been anointed to have full control of the roster in all but the title as Rhule may stil have "final say", but given his failure in this area and being on the hot seat, I think he's deferring to Scott  more than anyone realizes.

Hopefully Scott and the coordinators force the decision on the final roster. Not sure how the game day inactive lists are gonna go, but Rhule might be at the point where he'll delegate everything except his job/salary to anyone in hopes of fielding a good team. Rhule could still end up being the obvious weak link in the whole situation but at least we're set up for interim HC's now. Tepper played nice in his pressers but we're obviously set up for cutting Rhule if he remains inadequate

Matt Rhule said this many times…this is pro football the best play regardless of contract or tenure with the team

What if you have non-ideal arm length?

To be fair, even in GM centric operations, head coaches still control the depth chart.

I do but in to the idea that Fitterer had increased influence over the offseason personnel process this year. Have a hard time imagining him making playing time decisions though.

He surely appreciates the tenure of former college players and coaches regardless of their ability to perform at an NFL level. He doesn't care about our team, he just lucked out on a job and is gonna wear it out until he gets fired

Not sure what you're saying.

Fitt said the best player will play, so Fitt has more power? 
Sooo Fitt decides who plays now?
How does this translate to who controls the roster?

It was collaborative last year.  Its collaborative this year.   
Rhule still has final say on the roster, and his contract hasn't changed.  I don't see Fitt deciding who will play.

If you are in a situation where a FO is literally forcing players on a coach, it's time for someone to go.

Last 2 years reeked of some Chip Kelly BS. Didn't take the Eagles 7 years to win the super bowl once they got rid of him and his total control of the roster demand

He's just repeating what the coach and team's philosophy is. What's the issue here?

Remember the story that the Panthers were considered the least "merit-based" team in the league when it came to playing time? Likewise the saying that we had guys starting on our roster who wouldn't even make a team elsewhere?

That's why something like this gets said.

      Rookie season being key to uour argument. I didn't at all mislead about the talent Cam had to work with. Kalil was a great center. Olsen was a great TE. Our WRs were probably the worst in the league. Cam still won MVP, we went 15-1, and we went to the SB. Your attempt to bring up Cam to defend Bryce is desperate and clownish. Bryce has more talent to work with and has done WAY less.

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
