Looks like it, but who knows with this staff developing him. 

That is so true.  How can we really tell with rule's staff trying to develop players.  I'm distraught.

My bad, I thought Fitts drafted him. Either way, I welcome any evidence that Fitts is going to prove to be a competent GM.

Compare our OL now to when he arrived. That should settle it for you.

And this is the type of player you want to get in return for CMC. Fans as bad as the owner.

Look at our cap and our QB room.

The problem with trying to reach a verdict on Fitts is a little like trying to reach a determination of most of our roster......what is on them and what is on the coaching staff/Rhule?

For Fitts, we can blame Tepper for creating what organizationally is a bureaucracy.  It is set up in a way that it is almost impossible to hold anybody responsible for anything because the lines between the duties are so blurred they are unrecognizable.  I can't tell what is Fitts and what is Rhule because Rhule's "lane" includes so much of what should be the GM's responsibility.  And we are not talking about Hoodie, or Reid, or John Harbaugh, we are talking about a guy who has proven absolute zero in the NFL, both before and after he was given that much leeway.

Is YGM a bust?  I dunno, it is certainly not looking like he is going to realize his potential.  But before I make that judgement, I would like to see him play for an honest-to-gawd NFL coach (HC and DC) in an NFL system.  This is the same crew that managed to neuter Chinn.

I heard from one ex panther DE that YGM just needs to work on a good spin move and he will be alright.

Being a good rotation guy is ok in this league. People will clamor about his 2nd round status but he will get a second contract either with the panthers or someone else.

I see it differently.

A player drafted in the top 64 draft choice for a rebuilding club with a new HC needs to be a difference maker. If he were a 4th rounder (or even a late 3rd rounder) his production wouldn't concern me as much.

Based on his production so far, YGM appears to be a JAG. If we lost him, I think we could replace him with a later round draft choice in the next year or two and not miss a beat.

I’m a firm believer that only first rounders can be busts. Anything else was just a waste of a draft pick and a regrettable decision.
 

There’s only 10-15 players in every draft that are sure things. everything else is a crapshoot

I caution you for doubting Everett "Spin Cycle"  Brown's wisdom.  He is a Panther draft bust legend.

He is on the Rushmore of panthers draft busts.

I like what I see out of Brown, Horn, BC, Ickey, McCall, etc.

Also impressed he was able to trade Greg Little and Dennis Daley, signed Austin Corbett, Woods and Luvu, and traded for Shinault.  
 

sure it’s a mixed bag overall, but he has made some good moves.
