Are there any Scott Fitterer defenders left?

I said after last year Rhule should've been sent packing and Fitts should be right behind him. I'm still there.

 

I'm not totally there on Fitts yet simply because we don't know to what extent he is required to follow Rhule. I'd like to see him one offseason without this chucklehead of a coach.

No thanks. He needs to take just as much blame as Rhule for following him blindly if thats what he is doing, if not his moves and drafting has been subpar. 

He did not have to sign on to be Rhules yes man, he could have said thanks, but no thanks like other candidates did, but he did not have any other real offers to be a GM, so he chose to be our figurehead.

If you're willing to take a GM job in title only then you aren't GM material. This dude can GTFO too.

There's only 32 GM jobs in the NFL. Sometimes you take the job even though it isn't an ideal situation to get your foot in the door.

Or he could have thought like anyone with any football knowledge other than Tepper that Rhule would have and should have been fired at the end of last year. 

What we've seen this offseason, the problem isn't totally on Fitts. Rhule has conducted this team like a pop warner tryout. At halftime in game 1, I'm not ready to say this is all Fitts fault that Rhule looks like what we've all said for 2 years, a piss poor college football coach.

Entire house needs to be cleaned, we half assed it with Marty and Ron and we are worse off than before. NO leftovers, period.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
