3rd and 4th for Corral while Sam Howell looks legit is the nail in the coffin. Could have just stayed where they were, drafted Howell and called it a day. It’s like he can’t help himself on draft day and has no patience to let the draft come to him. Bad trait in a GM.

I don't know if we can fairly assess him in week 2 of his 3rd year because Matt Rhule had a lot of sway the first year he was here, and we don't know how much say he had last year as well.

I think we need to have that conversation at year's end to really identify the good he has done for this franchise, because frankly, there have been a lot more whiffs than hits so far.

Ironically enough, I don't have as much ire for him as Hurney, because with Fit, the randomness and aggressiveness are at least fun, compared to the predictive clockwork of Hurney - Draft first round stud, fug around the rest of the draft, sign some bum FAs, overpay a mid tier talent, have a losing season. Rinse repeat.

You kinda have to look at it as a braintrust.

For his first two offseasons, Fitterer was tasked with getting the kind of guys Matt Rhule wanted for his systems. Now we've got entirely different coaches and systems, hence why some guys acquired previously don't fit anymore.

That doesn't mean everyone needs to go, but it does mean we're starting from scratch more so than some realize.

Ok, so in his third year….his 2nd and 3rd best adds are average starting lineman.   His best add is LB. 

I mean, that sort of sums up the Panthers in an offensive league. 

I mean I would also put Foreman up there after what he was able to do last season for us after CMC trade. 

You said PJ Walker but I’m pretty sure that was a Rhule/Hurney get in 2020 and Fitt (or Rhule, whoever) kept him around after that.

I am not defending him by any stretch, he has missed way more than he’s hit….but just think he’s done better than PJ lol.

Right now I’ve got Frankie Luvu as his best FA signing and I’ll agree production wise vs his pay, that’s a win.

Contact wise the DJ Moore contract extension was very reasonable but also one of the reasons they were able to trade him in the Bryce Young so that’s a wash at best. 

Draft wise are we saying his best pick is Icky?

I can’t say it’s a long list of good decisions.

Nah.  I don’t include Foreman.  Just like I don’t Gilmore.  Or Reddick.  They were one year rentals and not part of building us in a direction. 

I was largely just looking to insult the man with the PJ reference lol.

What about the signings-picks Fitterer has hit on? Drafting or signing Christensen, Ekwonu, Bozeman, Corbett. I still believe in Jaycee Horn. Drafting Zavala and Bryce this year (2 starters in this draft). Whether you say Fitterer-Rhule or Fitterer these have not all been misses. If you look around the league today there are teams like Denver and Cincinnati who are 0-2. We have a young team that has some important key pieces. I refuse to throw in the towel with 16 games to play.

      Rasheed Walker for Kris Jenkins Jr.

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      No poo tho you might could Jenkins for Legette. They got nothing at WR after the big 2 in Cincy. I don’t think you trade away OL depth. Could get a quality player in cuts. Really that 3-4 end spot what you should be looking for is someone who is stout with long arms and can push back the OL in both the run and pass game for others to make plays…. But we signed Wharton, sometimes I think Evero is a fraud ass nerd who should be an analyst at best.

      you would honestly probably do Monroe Freeling more of a disservice by putting him in a position where is not yet ready to succeed. .we all knew Monroe Freeling struggled at the NFL combine in drills because of technique related issues & would need time to develop  & now all of a sudden before they even put the pads on Monroe Freeling is somehow a starting LT in the NFL ? if he struggled at the NFL scouting combine what do you actually think is going to happen in a live NFL game at LT ? .even our best LT of all time was not ready to start at LT when he was a rookie & he turned out to be a pretty good darn LT by the name of Jordan Gross ...just saying be patient Young Jedis

      well i could go on & on but i will just highlight it by saying big difference trust me from the SEC & NFL.it's honestly like comparing apples & oranges especially when you are talking about a  LT. in the NFL you are going up against the most athletic freaks of nature the world has to offer . .the NFL also has much more exotic & complicated defensive schemes than what they are used to seeing at Georgis &  finally but most importantly you have to learn how to master complex bio mechanics where the body kick steps instantly as a reaction to these world class athletes rush without really making a conscious effort it's more of a learned muscle memory  & it can take thousands upon thousands of reps to master rproper technique for a LT in the NFL especially if you are still very raw like Monroe Freeling is    ...just saying
