From the article...

Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer and new coach Frank Reich are on the same page as they take a collaborative approach to roster construction. Previous coach Matt Rhule had control over the 53-man roster and didn’t appear overeager to budge on certain decisions. That dynamic will change with Fitterer regaining control while working with Reich for his input.

So basically, a normal NFL front office...

Both Reich and Fitterer are known to be easy going, non-ego driven personalities, so things are expected to go smoothly between them.

I'm sure they thought about going with The Appaloosa Model but they ultimately settled on this instead 😐

Im honestly shocked at anyone thats able to have both HC and GM duties....theres not enough time in the day/week/month/year. Plus the stress level must reach space. Its super difficult to weigh winning now and future building.....cannot imagine that as both.

And David Tepper thought Matt Rhule can do it all and a bunch of other responsibilities......

I feel like that whole time he was in charge was just a really bad dream.

Keep asking myself "Did that really happen?" 😳

And yet we had people arguing right up to the end that he was doing good and could turn it all around given time 😄

Wonder if our old buddy Dr Lunker still thinks that 

You put out his ultra bait "Appaloosa Model", lols......I sorta miss him, form a entertaining side 

Truth be told, I bought into(some) after I thought 2020 2-14 was the max record.......he pulled out his standard 5-11 season, *but 8 of those losses were within one scores. Seemed to be a great building block, no other building took place in the coming years..

I was never a fan of hiring a college coach but said I'd give him a chance.

Year one is pretty much always nothing special, but we'd gone into that season expecting to come out with the worst record in the league so 5-11 seemed like an overachieving year.

By about the middle of year two though it was like "oh, okay". 🙄

Leroy Hoard used to say "if you need three and a half yards, I'll get you three and a half yards. And if you need five yards, I'll get you three and a half yards."

That statement works well with Matt Rhule if you change it to five wins.

It's the norm for a reason. Let the coach focus on coaching and let the GM focus on roster building. Yeah, it's a collaborative effort but both jobs are full time plus jobs. 

Tepper came in thinking he was gonna revolutionize the league, show everybody how it's done and look like a big balled genius.

Instead he's a massive failure so far, is learning why things are the way they are and looks like a big bald numbskull.

Yeah, the guys who eventually get full control are generally proven NFL winners with a SB ring or two or more on their fingers.

Not guys who racked up wins against unranked college teams at Baylor and Temple while losing to every actual good team they faced.

That era pretty much ended when the salary cap started.  Someone would need extremely good assistant coaches and support staff on the GM side to pull it off.  And then they would need to keep those people in place or have a steady stream of exceptional talent to replace them.

The problem The Process had is that he was about as good as he was going to get in year one.  To get better at anything, the person needs to realize they need to get better or even can get better.  He did not see the need, and he thought his methods were the epitome. 

What he discovered was that immortal Jerry Glanville quote, that if you are a pro coach NFL stands for Not For Long.

Imagine having all those responsibilities and then wasting precious time micro managing social media and taking vacations in the middle of the season. Matt Rhule was one of the worst hires ever.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.

      It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
