There are only 32 NFL GM jobs in the world. Might have something to do with that.  

So he was desperate?

Worried he'd never get another look?

All that said, I respect Fitterer but he's part and parcel to King Ghidora, the dominant beast in the Panthers biosphere... 👊

nah, again, there are only 32 NFL GM jobs in the entire world.   That’s just you doing your weird thing you do.  Someone takes X job.  Then you claim they must think Y team is great because they did it.   There are just 32 of them.  The worst one is still a good one . Not saying that is us but whoever it is.  There are only 32.  Whether we are talking GM or video guy

yeah the Corral one is personal hahaha. He's my dude. Like I still feel like this is a fever dream and we are still a week before the draft, I can't believe he's a Panther and we snagged him in the 3rd. I haven't gone balls deep and bought a jersey, but its coming...

I mean.....I don't really believe in any QB taken that far down the draft and especially in a class that weak.

But if he even became an average NFL starter, that isn't a home run, it's a grand slam. That would make Fitterer look amazing.

Without knowing specifics I think he has done a good job.  I suspect there has been a power shift from Rhule holding all the power to them having confidence in his input.  I think he has done a fairly decent job thus far.  Still have to judge him on perceived value based on what he has gotten.  Draft this year and last looks good if they start to produce.  The FA signings to fix the line this year looks good on paper.  On value and need he gets an A with the exception of the Anderson deal.  Production is a TBD.

I was not impressed in year 1, and still trying to figure out if I'm impressed now...but as far as up or down vote, I'll go with up...for now.

Of the three Kings up there, Fitts seems to be the only one that understands the NFL.

That said, his free agency has been pretty damn bad...I don't know if Rhule had a lot to do with year 1 of that...and I'm guessing yes...so it's hard to say, but this years seems better.

Robbie's and CMC's extensions and Sam's 5th year were real head scratchers for me, didn't like any of those moves.

Do you guys honestly think Rhule and/or Fitterer are making unilateral decisions when it comes to the roster?  A coach/GM relationship should be highly collaborative; otherwise, that's a sign of a highly dysfunctional partnership IMO if they are on wildly different pages on roster moves (FA, extensions, draft, etc.).  It's very difficult to evaluate them individually when it comes to roster management.

Well collectively they get a failing grade on the management of the QB position.  Everyone that has been involved does since 2020.

Well yeah...my whole point is that it's hard to evaluate them individually when it comes to roster management because you don't really know the power dynamic behind-the-scenes nor do you know which of them is driving any individual move.  It's much more straightforward on the other hand, to evaluate them as a pairing, which is what you're talking about.

It's like when Ron was the coach and Hurney was the GM and we had some pretty bad drafts and then Ron gets fired and Rhule came in and everyone loved Rhule/Hurney's first draft together (at the time) and people were all "CLEARLY this was Rhule's draft cause it was so much more awesomer than our other Hurney drafts in the previous years!!".  But I would argue that the Ron/Hurney partnership needs to be evaluated separately from the Rhule/Hurney partnership, which needs to be evaluated separately from the Rhule/Fitterer partnership.  Coach/GM pairings create complex dynamics when it comes to roster management.  I'm only talking specifically roster management...there are some things we can probably confidently evaluate them individually on, like game management, which I would give Rhule like a D- on.

Essentially every draft has been overall loved at the time.  Heck, there were people calling Jimmy Jam a steal. 

yeah, it’s a blurry line.   I generally put the bulk on the HC.  Because I think generally we have operated wanting to do what our HCs prefer.  Which IMO is the right way to do it generally.   Who knows where it really goes.  My gut has always been the 2010 and now the 2022 drafts were the 2 the GM might of been the heaviest in getting his their preference though.

It's probably a reasonable assumption to think that the hotter a coach's seat/the shorter his leash, the less authority he has to override the GM if there is a roster disagreement.  That probably applies to Fox in 2010 and Rhule in 2022, so again a reasonable assumption to think the GM had more flexibility to steer roster decisions.  That's part of the complexity of the coach/GM dynamic, that their individual roles/responsibilities/authorities are somewhat fluid depending on the warmth of their seats.  I'm sure Rhule probably had more influence on roster management in his rookie season when Tepper threw his entire support (and wallet) behind Rhule, whereas present day, the power dynamic has probably shifted away from Rhule and more towards Fitterer.  Again, it's all speculation though.

On the free agency front...

2021 = Fitterer / Rhule

2022 = Fitterer / Morgan / Rhule

That's where I see the difference.

As mentioned earlier, Morgan has a strong pro personnrl background whereas Fitterer has really only been a college scouting guy.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
