On topic I 100% think Scott Fitterer should be fired. He’s made made pretty significant blunders every season.

Right out the gate drafting CB Horn over talent at more important positions of need, inexplicably picking up Sam Darnold’s 5th year option and saddling the team with his like $19m salary in 2022, trading picks for Matt Corral in 2022 only to see him cut in 2023 without seeing the field on the regular season. The trade for Bryce Young will either make or break his tenure though. If Young pans out, all is forgiven most likely. But the jury is obviously still out on that so we’re probably stuck with him until the end of the Frank Reich era.

If the trade for Bryce doesn't work out and he sh$ts the bed, this team will be behind the eight ball for years. He will be gone if that's the case.

Trading for CJ Henderson is Fitts most egregious error.  However, Rhule did say that he loved CJ coming out of college, so I'm not sure who put the wheels in motion for that trade, but obviously Fitts negotiated the package, which was too much for a guy who had bust written all over him.

I did not disagree with trading for Henderson based on what they paid. They got what they thought was a 1st round talent and a 5th round pick in exchange for a 3rd round pick and journeyman TE. I wouldn’t say they broke the bank there and Henderson is on par with the production of a 3rd rounder IMO. I still don’t think it’s a bad trade, Henderson just isn’t very good.

Yes, but Henderson showed he wasn't very good at all.  At least with Darnold the risk/reward was much more in line with what we gave up in the deal.  Had he panned out, that trade package would have looked like a steal. As it turns out, we lost a second rounder and a couple day 3 picks.

Fitt has got to go. The moves he has made have not equated to wins or sustained success. Most of you say you liked the trade for Bryce, not me. In my opinion we gave up way too much for a supposedly smart under sized qb. Now I am seeing comments that are saying we need a wr. Didn't we have a very good not great wr on this team that we traded away to acquire Bryce?

Why would you trade away a position that could greatly help a rookie qb? I forgot we are stacked at that position. We would've been picking in the top 10 again, except for the fact we traded that pick in an effort to win now, because obviously Fitt thought we had the roster to make a run. All we needed was a qb. Now we are in a position where we have to pay the two best guys on our defense but are having a hard time coming to terms with just one. If you knew you didn't want to pay the asking price. Why not trade said player unpopular as it might be and recoup high draft capital in order to use that as ammunition to go out and acquire a position that you want? Brown and Burns are going to cost a premium, it's just the facts. Luvu should be next up for an extension. These three players are crucial to the team's defense.

If these three players are not locked up long term, Fitt has failed as a gm. Letting Hassan go, Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield, trading away DJ Moore. Giving up a massive draft haul to take an undersized qb. Need a true middle linebacker. It's all a mess. Team building is the job of the GM. Scott has failed and is failing miserably.

essentially we gave up CMC, DJ, a future 1st, two 2nds, two 4ths......just to move up a couple draft spots in round 1 and 3.  That's a pretty big gamble.  And the history of giving up a lot isn't a good one.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
