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.

      PFF Best and Worst vs GB

      Yeah like I said. Your ball knowledge is bad. You think it’s best to try and clown on one of our guys? If you wanna go play with your lil cheese packer-fan you can. I don’t feel bad for him man. As a fan he has nothing to complain about in comparison. His franchise is where the NFL was born, who the trophy is named after. I can appreciate his loyalty though. Btw how many plays did Parsons make in comparison? Or did Rico run all over them too? sorry just a whole lot more nuance than just saying some dumb 💩 about our rookie DE who is playing well. So is Princely. Also new signing Gipsen. Rozeboom recently and others in being better in run D.   your point about Jacob’s, is just that…Jacob’s doing. Your hyper fixation on my remarks about him being a good run DE, doesn’t change that fact. Scourton also needed more on the pass rushing downs. But I could go on and on. the real question that needs to be fixed though is why as a fan do you feel the need to bash one of our own, and talk through another person to try and do it to someone else?

      Burrow or Bryce? Seriously? 32 out of 32 NFL coaches are taking Burrow. Remember we paid 100m to put Bryce behind a good offensive line. Just because Cincy isn’t managed well doesn’t mean anyone in their right mind is taking Bryce and his 3 years of mediocrity over Burrow’s elite level ability.
