I disagree, he insinuated cmac was part of the process and was kept abreast of the situation the entire time. 

So where in this does it imply CMC requested a trade or wanted out.

Fitterer said he notified CMC earlier in the week when they started getting calls.  Said several teams were testing the waters and later it got more intense.  He also said which I find funny you don't acknowledge.  He said all CMC was focused on was Tampa.   I don't think a player that wants out is going to be focused on the next team.

Usually crap like that gets out to the media one way or another.  I never saw anything where CMC asked for a trade or implied he wanted out.

The Saints game was them playing their worst, with a lot of injuries.

And if you think we were ever in that game against an injury depleted Rams team, you are just looking at the score. We were downright pathetic.

We were getting our asses kicked again and again and again. Getting rid of CMC didn't insure us of losing out, we were going to do that anyway. 

yeah, you get that in the NFL.  You also get random games where people muff punts and the ball just bounces against you all game. 

hell, just look at what a tiny bit of energy did to the Panthers the day Cam returned.  We smashed the Cardinals.   NFL gets weird.  Then went right back to being the clown show. 

 and yeah, lets go back to that Rams game.  We were down right pathetic.  And even in game it was talked about how it sure looked like we were coaching to lose.  They prevented PJ from doing so basics we know he could.  The end of the first half was comically suspect with those 3 timeouts.  The Panthers coaching staff did everything they could to not win that game IMO.  

CMC was a problem that game.  Ane the Panther staff went out of there way to neuter him as best they could.  Comical even.  And if they even allowed PJ to do some basics, I think they knew they might accidently win that that game.  So they didn't allow it.  They couldn't allow a repeat of AZ the year before.   

I don't think that is a conspiracy at this point.  That Rams game was suspect.  And that's not all hindsight.  Lot people thought that by the half.

I believe NFL coaches about as much as I believe politicians when talking in front of a camera.   

Fitt was up their lying to people's faces this afternoon too.  It's just what they do.

Other teams see what we're doing.  Expect the aints, bucs, and falcons to play to lose if the game doesn't matter.

Someone said we basically traded CMC for Darnold and Mayfield and I cannot get passed that. 

The draft compensation nearly breaks even, the cap hits I haven't looked into. I gotta put that on Rhule trying to save his job by gambling on jag QB's hoping something sticks

CMC would never quit on a team but I think he is happy to be traded to a better situation and a chance to compete in the playoffs.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
