Fitterer setting low expectations.

That is exactly what I have been saying is going to happen.

We aren't this year's Giants, we are going to be this year's Jaguars.

One of the things I caught watching the press conference was Fitterer's expression when he talked about how young (emphasized "young") the offensive line is as a group.

But yeah, that's what we want.

You don't trade future 1sts and plan on losing. What a poo show.

You must be fun at parties...

Equally so on message boards

This team is way too talented to have low expectations.  Don't really want to hear about learning curve for Bryce either.  This is a playoff roster with even average QB play considering how terrible the NFCS is.

I think we can still win games early on though, this isn’t unexpected from Fitt to say but despite the somewhat disappointing preseason I still believe this team can and will win the division (and do so with a solid winning record, 10+ wins). 4-4 after 8 then 6-3 in the last 9 is my guess

I never took issue with you saying that we're going to win X amount of games, I just disagree with you that it should be some litmus test on Fitterer and company's future viability.

When you misfire in hiring a coach, there is a price to pay. 

When you hire a disaster as a head coach, that price goes up.

When you hire a disaster as a head coach and then give him complete control, that price increases again, and it goes up a lot.

We are lucky this thing isn't being torn down to the studs after doing the third. 

Wilks deserves a lot of credit for stabilizing things last year, and that is also because The Process was sent packing early in the year.  But, the roster was already built by then, so even in the process of stabilizing things he was making lemonade.

Such crap. Already making excuses. Really good idea to trade a potential top 5 pick next year if you are in it for a rebuild. A complete joke. 

[1989]

That doesn’t mean we’re guaranteed to lose games. Just means we’ll be getting better as the year goes on.

That's being a person of honor.

I get your point for sure.  But, I simply don’t see any way Fitt wasn’t help make the calls.  A few seconds of video showing Rhule discuss the selection isn’t enough to convince me.  I imagine Fitt worked with the team to narrow down a few choices at each pick.  Rhule then had the latitude to pick from that list.  No way the GM had zero control over who we selected.  And his comments today, IMO, affirm that.

Thank you. Fitter sounds like a bitch with this. They’ve been rebuilding since 2015

Im so sick of Tepper. This is clearly coming from him. Fitt is not the guy to blame we are in this situation because of Tepper. The expectations have always been low since he took over the franchise. This guy needs to sell the team.

 

Keep Pounding is no longer a thing in the Carolina's. Fans are saying the season is over before it even starts. This is our culture now. It's now cool to say we are years away from making noise.

 

2027 will be our year!

Just because you’re unable to view the team objectively and think we are legitimate contenders this year doesn’t mean expectations are low moving forward when people speak in realities.

Been trying to tell you this for months but you just keep sticking your head back in the sand trying to ignore facts.
