• 2nd/4th/6th for Darnold
• 5th for Baker
• 3rd and 4th for Corral
• 6th for Gilmore
• 3rd and back up TE for CJ
• 6th for Daryl Johnson

"oh wee mayne"

Don't forget Dan Arnold and a 3rd rounder for CJ Henderson and a 5th.

I honestly wouldn’t mind a change…we clearly aren’t progressing fast enough with him here

I’m angry because Sam Howell looks legit and meanwhile Matt Corral isn’t on a roster. 

I have no idea what kind of career Sam Howell will have. That said, anyone who watched Sam Howell play in college AND watched Matt Corral play in college and decided to draft Corral...well, that person should not be involved in any NFL personnel decisions in the future.

Really should have drafted Howell. He was there for the taking and we would still have all those picks and Moore.

 

This and not drafting parsons was his two biggest misses and could seal his fate

He brought Cam Newton back. That was fun for a little bit

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.

He panicks. That’s why he made that trade up for a project pass rusher  this year in the third round this year cause he said they were all gone.

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.

But then he lets him go after 1 year for peanuts to the bears

There are three things that happened that killed this franchise. These are the critical mistakes that we have still yet to recover from:

1.) Marty wanted Herbert, and I thought he was going to make a move to go get him. We stayed put and missed out on Herbert. Franchise changing mistake.

2.) We brought in Teddy Bridgewater when we should not have done so. Teddy was good enough to get us enough wins to ruin our draft position, but he would never lead us anywhere. This is what I call a "QB Limbo" move where you can't replace your current QB with a star QB, or potential star QB, because he's wining too many games, but he's not the answer.

3.) Fitt signs Sam Darnold, who I said several times on this forum at the time, was a proven failure at QB. I said at the time that he would flop, and he did just that. Signing Sam stripped us of valuable draft picks, but it also allowed QB limbo to continue because we had CMC and too much talent by that point to allow Sam to drag us to the rock bottom of the league and top of the draft.

The scary thing about Fitt is that he believed that Sam was better than Teddy, and that Sam was a franchise QB in the making. I sure as hell didn't think that at the time, and I was hard pressed to find a fan who thought that. Shouldn't the GM know better than the fan base? No. Fitt was guessing. His guess was incorrect, and that mistake ushered in the dark times. Teddy was fun to watch. Sam took your soul and made you turn the tv off.

It really came down to those three critical mistakes. Has Fitt screwed up left and right in other areas? Oh hell yes, but those mistakes are not why we've had to suffer through these dark and boring times. Now everything, including Fitt's career, is riding on Young. Buckle up.

The guy has to swallow his pride and get some consultants in here to hold his hand if it comes down to replacing Fitts.

Tepper will have Fitts conduct his own search for his replacement and he will come back to say he couldn’t find anyone better so he’ll stay at the position a la Hurney

[Move the Panthers to Raleigh]

Hurney wouldn’t have drafted Jaycee Horn

Sam Howell was a fifth round draft pick. Every quarterback needy team passed on him several times. If Howell does turn into a quality quarterback several teams will be saying “what if….”

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. 

This years draft produced a starting quarterback and in all likelihood a starting lineman. Please give this group more than one game before throwing them under the bus.
