What about Fritterer?

What do all of you think Fritterer will do now? His position is far from safe so what does he need to do to save his job?

I don't see how he doesn't start finding deals to dump longterm cap and if not stockpile then at least recover lost picks. How that works with Wilks trying his bestest to not lose would be some interesting friction and the potential for a huge mistake can't be far away.

I know picks are far from guaranteed sucsesses but it is a volume game and right now we gave up way too much for for way too little over the past few years.

If he has more control, as in the more traditional role of a GM,  he's going to have to make decisions that lead to winning. 

Tepper sounded like he wasn't necessarily in love with the handling of the resources, specifically drawing the short stick in drafts because of overspending with draft capital (and perhaps real capital), leaving us ass-out on the draft picks--as in not having enough. So, I'd suspect that Fitt is a little more thoughtful and frugal in free agency. Looking at this past offseason, learning from past mistakes seemed like a priority. Well, it sounds like it's going to need to be even more of a priority to keep--err, make Tepper happy.

If Fitt wants to bring in Dan Quinn then I want him gone.

That would be a deal killer for me also. I was always expecting a washed up HC but I at least thought they would have had some success in the past as a HC...

I think he’s gone at end of season, and Dan Morgan will take over 

That's pure Panther fan thinking with no evidence to support it. Tepper has no more attachment to Morgan than he did to Newton.

It also ignores that Morgan came here to work with Fitterer. He considers Fitterer his scouting mentor.

Fitterer is definitely going to be under the microscope now that he doesn't have Rhule controlling everything.  In essence he's auditioning to keep his job in a more traditional roll and he's got to get this mess cleaned up before next season starts. After that it's going depend on how successful his clean up performs next season.

He'd be a safe pick that may end up getting canned in a few years once we prove to be mediocre across the board.

He deserves a chance to do the job of a GM without someone else telling him what he needs to accomplish.  You cannot put him fully at fault when it has become increasingly clear that Rhule held too much power over the organization.

Maybe he sinks, maybe he swims, but I think he needs a chance to do it as a real GM.

      2024 College Football Thread

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.

      I did, but again we're aware of the practice in college of inflating height/weight as well as what is considered normal and his freshman weight tells a lot. There was a recent Raw Room episode where at one point they were discussing putting on their "big boy weight" when they go to the pros. It's common for guys to have to slap on 20lbs over the summer, but King Dunlap mentioned having to put on 30 and how much of a toll that took on his body. That makes the idea of putting on 50 at the college level even harder to believe. I've got experience with cutting weight and that type of drop sounds just awful... and that's even if doing it healthy and not just turning yourself into a piece of human jerky. Having to add 50? Noooooo thank yoooou. I can understand wanting to take Scourton at face value, but we didn't take Bryce at face value either (and for good reason!). Give the recently posted videos a shot. I watched the one you linked even though I've already seen it, so why not extend the same courtesy? I think you'll find yourself getting more excited about his Purdue tape than you will being irritated by what you believe are false narratives being pushed. 😄
