Good things? What good things?

-Signed Darnold

-Traded for Mayfield

-Traded up to draft Corral

-Didn’t resign Gilmore despite trading for him for not even a full season.

-Picked up Darnold’s 5th year option.

-Traded a 3rd for CJ Henderson

-Extended Ian Thomas

-Extended Donte Jackson

-Extended Robbie Anderson ( whom we are paying 10 million for this year). 
 

He’s not the GM everyone on here acts like he is. People just like him because he’s not Hurney or Gettleman. I’m not so sure he’s better than either at this point.

they are going to say it was rhule making the call

 

But it really doesnt matter as his fate is clearly tied to Young.  If he works he has a job in 2/3 years.  If not he is gone.  Its pretty simple like that, but yeah all in all fitt has done some dumb poo and now it appears #1 on that list is not trading burns to a desperate rams team that appears to be aiming for a couple of top 5 picks in the next 2 drafts

The more I think about him the more I realize he might be our worst gm. We have no depth because the drafts have been trash. We essentially had to trade cmc for Sam darnold because of mismanagement of assets (the cmc trade simply recovered the assets we gave up for darnold and henderson). We passed on fields to take an injury prone although very good corner. If we got the Young pick wrong were set back at least 5 years.

-Extended Ian Thomas - Rhule

-Extended Donte Jackson - Well obviously

-Extended Robbie Anderson ( whom we are paying 10 million for this year). - Rhule all the way. Chosen Chosen or what ever his name is now didn’t even make a roster.

So ya, most of it had Rhules finger prints all over it. Fitterer kind of feels like a pushover though we’ll see what kind of moves come down the pipeline this year as it progresses. Specifically how our other draft picks perform. It’s hard to GM a college coach used to having everything his way.

Wonder how refusing to work while still under contract would fair in the private sector…yeah….

NFL isn't a government job.

It's known as a strike. Contracted private sector workers have been effective in using them as a negotiating tool forever

I'm so upset. Now that my house is officially on the market, the buyers know I want to sell, and they have all the leverage!! 🤣🤣🤣

A buyer looked on your Facebook page and saw that you had posted that you're relocating and need to sell so you can buy a new house in the next month. They lowball because you need to free up the cash to make a down payment, offers aren't coming in, and you can't carry 2 mortgages. That's leverage.

Which isn't the case with Burns. He's under contract, and he was going to get paid regardless. 

Oh, and I'd never sell a house in a hurry. There are better ways to financially handle that type of situation.

You need a better agent if it comes down to that.

Burns value is set by the market regardless of what happened with a previous trade

Burns value is set by the market regardless of what happened with a previous trade 

And right now it is the perceived market.  He and his agent are looking at recent deals and the Panthers are looking at how recent deals compared to him.

The fact that we turned down a pair of firsts and a high second for him last year will impact his side's view of the market for him and his worth to the Panthers.

But the market will not truly speak until he becomes a FA.  Then, it only takes one team to bid his price up substantially.  Kinda like we did in the Jet's trade value for Darnold.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
