I could write a long list of Fitterer’s failures as Panthers GM. What has he done right? I am really having trouble figuring it out. 

Picking Icky? Is that the best thing he’s done? Zavala if he pans out as a legit starter? Maybe Chuba Hubbard? Wait never mind it was who Matt Rhule’s WIFE who picked him.

He's got a few decent draft picks. Icky most would agree was a no brainer kind of pick though. We had an immense need at LT and it was one of three options. Either way you're rolling the dice. Horn would be his shining achievement but the kid can't and possibly won't ever stay healthy. His initial signings on the OL were instant turds ie Elflein and Erving. His trades are ehhhhh Gilmore ended up being a needless GM mode on Madden kind of move. The 3rd we sent to the Jaguars for Henderson is looking like a steal for them at the moment. The trade for Shenault is likely another pointless one if he can't stay healthy which was his issue with his last team. There's just a lot of eh or meh or outright bad mixed in with his overall body of work as GM. When you consider the fact he's being kept upright on the defense by two Hurney picks in Brown and Burns you have to ask yourself what are our standards if the guy we agree was absolute poo as a GM is the only reason our roster hasn't fully bottomed out in Fitterer's 3rd season as GM.

I'm far from sold. I've watched folks staunchly defend him and Gettlemnan both simply because they aren't Marty Hurney but at some point we have to move on from simply getting away from Hurney and try to get an actual competent GM.

Hurney could at least identify a star player which I’ve yet to see Fitterer figure out.

The problem with that is Tepper is still in charge of making that decision on the next GM.

 

Everything he touches turns to shiittt!

      Be careful what you wish for

      Like that matters. That's the first thing. I suggested that it's probably better to let a QB sit and learn, and that's what I meant. Secondly, in what planet am I making excuses, my friend, or engaging in any mental gymnastics in Bryce Young's defense? As I have said, I don't care if he turns into Mighty Mouse, it's time for him to go. In my opinion, he's too short to be a successful QB in the NFL. I have seen enough. I'd rather trade him and take my chances with Hooker, at least he's more of a prototypical size and can actually see where and why he's throwing the ball.

      About that schedule.

      There is a scenario where our team comes out prepared to play football instead of shitting the bed for the first quarter. Every bad Bryce game seems to start with him looking incompetent - the OL looking incompetent - and the defense looking incompetent.  Boom, down 14 before we know what hit us. Imagine a world where we come prepared and play with a lead, and Bryce gets to fulfill his ceiling by managing a game instead of playing catch up. He's bad, but upon reflection he is not Clausen bad.  He can move the team down the field when he gets 4 - 5 seconds in a clean pocket against a soft zone.  I don't think Clausen could do that.

      You are literally naming almost entirely instances where they are sitting behind a well established if not star player that was already on the team. That's a different scenario entirely.  Listen, if you want to make all the mental gymnastics for excuses, have at it. I think the facts are clear, Bryce Young is not an NFL caliber player. Furthermore, no amount of pine time nor change of scenery is likely to change that.
