Sounds like Scott Fitterer will continue as Panthers GM in '23

Exactly. I don’t get why Rhule’s hand picked guy is someone we have to give a chance to when our personnel decisions the past two years have been really bad overall. It just boggles my mind that people wouldn’t want to go after a more talented GM candidate.

Would you say Finneserererer supplied Rhule with the type of players he wanted?

There was a report 49ers were offering picks as well, no clue if its real or not. I even think it was 1st(be a late one). 

Bro I didnt want Sam, nor did I like the trade package for. 50+ posts of me bitachin about that it when it happened. Got into it will a few huddlers that defended it, @TheMostInterestingMan manned up and apologized afterwards. 

 

Still if your boss tells you to buy taco bell for lunch, what do you do? 

 

Rhule is his boss?   If he accepted the job knowing rhule was in complete control then that’s on him.   fug fitt

Well I can tell you one thing if your NFL general manager is a glorified errand boy you go out and get yourself a real general manager who won't settle for such a role with a professional team.

Its clear to me Rhule was the boss and he was Finnessererer boss.

Ive had PLENTY of experience with dumbass bosses that a outsider would have blamed me for the results, when thats not the case...

Welp, we’ve made excellent decisions so far. Tepper and Rhule hired Fitterer and Tepper decided to keep Fitterer. You are so anti Tepper that wanting to keep Fitt baffles me.

Critical thinking is fun.

Matt Rhule helped draft Jeremy Chinn, Jaycee Horn, Ikem Ekwonu and others.

He still deserved to be fired but those weren't bad moves.

I'm able to distinguish between good things and bad things rather than just suggesting a knee jerk "burn it all down" approach.

One of the guys who did just that has a Super Bowl ring to show for it.

(would've had two if not for a Russell Wilson audible)

Is that guy encouraging and engaging in making trades with two of the worst teams in the AFC? Not everything is on Fitterer but one thing that sticks out is how well the Seahawks are doing while he flails about being in on every deal and we once again have the worst QB room in the entire league. If we give him a chance to right this ship so be it but he's got to stop getting cute and build this damn team.

Give you three guesses what the biggest difference between them and us is...

Umm, he’s trading for two and drafted one. I don’t see anything QB wise that makes me think he’ll pick a winner for us in 2023.

I’d call those darts, in reality, to win in this league you need to spend a first round pick on a QB.

People will make the Brady, Wilson, etc. argument… but the best QB’s currently in the NFL are all first round draft picks and they were drafted by the team they play for.

If Fitterer drafts the wrong QB this year then he’s gone.

    • Well it's not exactly new information that you don't have to draft a QB in the top 5 to compete for a championship. But the poorly run organizations end up with the first three picks. Most of the QB's drafted there never stand a chance. And then you have teams like the Panthers led by the Tepper's that would rather make a big splash to serve their own egos and get talked about in the media for several weeks by trading all the way up than actually being intelligent and strategic and staying put. Worst outcome in that is if you miss you can try again without mortaging your future. But there is another layer in all this. The league is changing again. Even a guy like Darnold with all his physical tools every box checked in that area did very little in the Super Bowl. Seattle had a stout roster all around. Same thing with the Eagles when they blew out the Chiefs. Yet here we are stuck with the tiniest QB in the league.
    • Which highly drafted QBs have actually experienced having a short leash? Most of these guys get multiple years of starting to show what they have.
    • I actually think Cam Newton is directly to blame for the crazy short leash these QBs are given now.  He was so good so early in his career that he reset the standard for young QB play.  Before he showed up it wasn't uncommon for the learning curve to be a full two or three seasons.  The high draft pick guys that had short careers prior to him typically had injuries or off field issues.
