Bust?

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.

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.

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

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.

      I'm right there with you, brother. I've been a Panther fan since the day the team was awarded to the Carolinas.  We've had some good years, a couple of great years, as well as some low periods and no consecutive winning seasons. But I never thought I'd see such a period as we have over the past several years.   It has gotten to the point of being rather apathetic in watching them. In fact, I told my wife before the Miami game I was watching just to see what new and creative way they lose another game.And early on, it looked like they would. But damned if Miami wasn't more creative than the Panthers.   I'm now older than my Dad when he died (he was 65) and, like you, I've wondered if I'll ever see them have another winning season. I'd sure like to think I will.

      Cowboys' out/questionable... OG Tyler Booker - OUT WR KaVontae Turpin - OUT WR CeeDee Lamb - OUT RB Miles Sanders - OUT MLB Jack Sanborn - OUT OT Ajani Cornelius - QUESTIONABLE OL Tyler Smith - QUESTIONABLE EDGE Marshawn Kneeland - QUESTIONABLE CB Trevon Diggs - QUESTIONABLE CB Caelen Carson - QUESTIONABLE CB DaRon Bland - QUESTIONABLE WR Jonathan Mingo - QUESTIONABLE Full participants: EDGE Sam Williams EDGE Jadaveon Clowney EDGE Dante Fowler Jr EDGE James Houston MLB Kenneth Murray S Juanyeh Thomas S Donovan Wilson OT Tyler Guyton QB Joe Milton   Carson fully practiced this week but is listed as questionable. Clowney likely to play it looks based on practice as well. Cornelius, Diggs, Kneeland, and Smith were limited all week. Mingo likely not going to be able to play. Dante Fowler Jr missed practice with an illness Thur + Fri. I imagine he'll suit up as well.
