who would you have as GM that would have been available to replace fitt?

Don’t have a name today.  Haven’t put in the work.  

largely just pointing out my belief that Fitt and his scouts might have more to do with stuff than the coaches right now.

I’m still not super high on Fitt and think we should have had a new GM come in to start the new era.   

Giving away draft capital and making head scratching picks threeyears in a row now.  Matt Corral, Brandon Smith, Deonte Brown, Keith Taylor, Davion Nixon, Tommy Tremble all wasted picks. We should have hired a new GM when we hired the new coaching staff. Tepper is an idiot.

Meh.  Not a huge fan of the pick, but he's a very big and fast run stuffer who will probably be pretty good at setting the edge, something we haven't been great at.  He played both ways and apparently can rise to the occasion.  He played an important roll in the Ohio State upset.

"During the pivotal final minutes, Johnson caught a pass for 11 yards to convert a third down to take critical time off the clock. Following a punt, Johnson sacked Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud on the final play of the game."

Evero wanted him, and he's a late rounder.  Lets see how this plays out.

Most draft picks for every team don’t make it for long. 
 

That being said, there are at least three on that list that you are being wildly impatient with.

I didn't understand the Corral pick at the time, and it doesn't make any kind of sense now. Just tossing away draft capital. I'm hoping we trade Corral to get something back. Ultimately if Young becomes our franchise QB then all is forgiven. Fitt can stay here forever if Young is good. If not, then everyone is getting fired obviously.

Post-Draft Analysis

A former tight end and 24-year-old prospect, Johnson reminds me of Brian Burns in the way he plays and will fit that same role in the stand-up, outside rusher position. Johnson likely factors in as a rotational pass-rusher out of the gate, but he could continue to develop and push Yetur Gross-Matos opposite Burns. -- Matt Miller

Brian Burns has elite bend and flexibility to be able to dip and get round tackles. That's this guy's worst trait.

I didn’t say I agreed…I think that is a pretty crazy take and makes me wonder if he even knows the player

Yeah, I don't think he does. Brian Burns famously has two things, elite flexibility, and burst. This guy's two biggest weaknesses are those two things.

That is 2 drafts,  pretty small sample size there and the last draft we didn’t have hardly any picks

    • I think you've taken my comment out of context as well. I never implied that his father being a psychologist would make him a better leader or make him a psychologist. If your dad is a lawyer, you're more likely to be exposed to law. If your dad is a doctor you're more likely to be exposed to medicine that's all.  My question is, why did you take my comment that way? 
    • Are you guys trying to say that the Cam ‘haters’  exactly mirror the Darnold ‘lovers”? Same people?  I don’t think that is it at all. I think it is more likely to be different people, probably with some overlap. This racism thing, when most of the team and league is Black and people are big fans of plenty of Black players, but have football issues with one or two and that makes them a racist? I don’t understand that at all.   I will tell you also, Sam Darnold at the price he would have cost, and all that cost invested in other areas plus we’d have DJ Moore, was a far better option than what they did.   
    • More of the same, but with actual statistics thrown in with the film review. It's a long one He puts blame on the offense and coaches as well, but doesn't sound too high on Bryce's ceiling. Lots of words but here's the basic summary Young’s lack of arm strength and size creates little room for error in his play. If he takes one extra hitch or is a hair late getting rid of the football, defenders often make plays on the ball or squeeze windows even tighter. The issue is that Young constantly needs to take an extra hitch to get enough zip on the ball when throwing to the outside and he often needs to work backward in the pocket to see that target. What does this all mean for Young going forward? Well, let’s just say it’s not exactly a rosy start to his professional career. It’s a rough statistical profile and his play wasn’t overwhelming when I studied him. Yes, former No. 1 picks like Goff and Trevor Lawrence have overcome their horrid rookie years to become viable quarterbacks, but those are the exceptions to the rule, and Lawrence showed more glimpses of high-end play during his rookie year during the Urban Meyer experience than Young did under Reich and the rest of the Panthers' funky bunch coaches. This is not to say that Young is a bust already, either. His accuracy and intelligence still translate to every offense and still give him a floor as a viable starter, and better teammates, like the newly acquired Diontae Johnson and explosive rookie wideout Xavier Legette, should help highlight those traits even more. But, you take a player No. 1 overall to move the needle, not to just get the job done. Young has a path to be a quarterback who can keep an offense on time with some ad-libbing ability to add creativity and spice to an offense (Alex Smith, another quarterback with a rough rookie season, is a play style and career comparison I keep coming back to for Young). But to justify that 1.1 selection, Young (and Canales) have to push it even more in 2024 and beyond. https://sports.yahoo.com/bryce-youngs-hopes-for-a-bounce-back-season-with-panthers-comes-down-to-more-than-just-his-supporting-cast-140010168.html
