He says its his model of doing things.  thats telling, it was totally unnecessary

The model isn't broken, it's who made the call for it to happen.  Did Fetterer do this on his own or did Rhule say make it happen?  HCs don't draw up contracts.  Again, who was the point man in saying: 'lock Robbie up before he hits FA after the season?'  Was it Rhule or was it Fitterer? I will eat crow if you can prove that Fitts did this largely on his own and Rhule wasn't the driving force behind Robbie staying in Carolina.

Anybody thinking coaches aren't at least 50% culpable for that outburst has probably never played WR or RB. That ish was not okay. I probably would have lost my ish too. He just shouldn't have kept going at him. Say your peace so they know how you feel, then bust your tail to make a play somehow. 

This is about the only sensible post in this thread.

Are you saying he deserved the ext?  Not following here.  The model, as according to Fitt was to get ahead of him becoming a free agent with the ext even when he had a season left.  Thats not smart in regards to this jackass.  Its probably not smart even to do before the season for a guy you actually like.   We obviously had the same philosophy with Cmac and you know how that went.

 

If rhule said to sign him (which I agree with you he did) then fitt is a gm cuck for not pushing back if he didnt think it was necessary.   And like I said he better have some receipts of that given the RA past 2 years of play and his behavior this season.

In short there was absolutely no reason to add money and years to his deal.  And that is without even acknowledging the elephant in the room of Terrace Marshall.  Who we drafted in the 2nd who we apparently had a first round grade on him.  Signing robbie to an extension, drafting marshall so high and knowing we had to sign moore (which he talks about in the video) is not good roster management

Rhule had 100% of roster control at this point.  Fitts could have pushed back, but who is going to win that argument?  Now, I will agree the extension was bloated.  The years wasn't necessarily the problem (2 more years), but the money was too much. 

Marshall was a rookie.  Unless you have a high first round pick at WR, you don't pencil them in as starters.  As shown, Marshall was always going to be a project.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
