Where is he? He is game day active but seeing zero snaps. Amare Barno even got snaps yesterday. You'd figure the coaching staff would play our younger players. Considering the potential of Brandon Smith, I wonder why he isn't getting any snaps.

 

Anyone have theories or content addressing this topic?

Wilson, Shaw, Wooten, Luvu are all ahead of him...he got some ST's snaps, EDGE where Barno plays is not as deep as the off-ball LB'er position. 

A couple guys would need to miss time for Smith to have room to step in.

That only has something to do with it in your pea-sized brain. Appreciate you trying to connect concepts that are wholly unrelated, though. Spend more time telling us how Scott Fitterer's so great. Was it the Darnold trade that convinced you, or the Henderson trade? Or was everything bad just on Rhule?

I don't just dismiss what you post, but we don't know if Fitterer had to try to make deals for Darnold and Henderson because Rhule wanted him to.

I guess it's within the realm of possibility that Fitterer could be the mastermind behind these moves, but from the things I've read it seemed like Rhule had final say on these things and Fitterer was a conduit between him and other FOs.  Fitterer would let Rhule and Co. know a player was a available for trade and then Rhule and "the brain trust" would decide to either pursue or not. 

The Darnold thing was probably more a committee type thing than Henderson, although Tepper and Rhule both made that situation arise just by bashing Teddy.  The Henderson thing seems more like Rhule really wanting him and asking Fitterer to go get him.

In both cases I hope Fitterer made the trades as palatable as possible for the Panthers - just like other signings that I wasn't a big fan of like Donte Jackson and Ian Thomas. 

I am not saying Fitterer has or will be great, but the moves that have been made since Rhule was shown the door have been pretty damn good, especially the ultimate return on CMAC because it is apparent now we weren't getting a 1st from any team.  Do we give Fetterer any credit for the revamped O-Line or the selection of Icky and Horn (who has been great if he can stay on the field)?  We can't pick and choose.

Hahahahaha, again you are ignoring Rhule having final roster say. Ignoring obvious facts, but I'm the one with the pea sized brain. No one is saying Fitterer is so great, but he had a helluva better track record before being hired to be Rhule's rubber stamp.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
