Gettleman had the most success.

Hurney was terrible.

Fitterer is still an incomplete.

Agree with this - but GM is more than just making moves.. it's handling the roster and the way Nipple-Shorts did D.Will, Smitty, J.No24 cannot be overlooked.. he pissed fans and players off with how he moved and players on other teams saw that.. he might have had some good drafts and brought in some decent vets but leveraged our future at the same time and we paid dearly for it..

I am gonna say Gettleman was the worst simply because I feel like fewer of his mistakes were because of doing what his boss told him to do. They were his mistakes.

These others… they listen to the bosses more. Pretty sure. 
I went with Hurney because no way I could choose Fitterer over him. It is q moot question anyway, they left D) none of the above, off the poll.

Now that I think about it, Hurney was both the best and the worst.  Duality of man.

Agreed. His best was the best and his worst was the worst.

 

Overall worst at the moment is Gettleman, pretty obviously. I will say that Fitterer may end up eclipsing him as the worst of our franchise history depending on the next couple of seasons.

Not you specifically, yours was just the first one to make me want to respond.

I don't know if this is a Panthers thing, or not, but this weird obsession with "drafting star players" and absolutely caring more about the players than winning seasons is very strange to me.

Marty gave us a BUNCH of names to cheer on, and a BUNCH of losing seasons.  I'd rather not know a single player on the roster and win, than have TD, Luke, Olsen, Cam, CMC, Norman, Smith and Peppers out there losing season after season.

 

Fair enough. But we have to understand,  GMs build the roster and coaches coach the roster to wins. The team philosophy is based off the coach. We saw under more than 1 GM that we were never gonna win anything under Ron Rivera as coach. Hurney gave the guy 2 mvp HOFs on both sides of the ball and he only produced 3 winning seasons. The losing seasons cant be all on him.

If I was the owner of any team at this time I would like to know who is available that has a proven track record as a GM and has drafted successfully. I never hear anyone mention that when the discussion turns to firing our current GM.  Do you hire someone that you think might make a good GM with no experience? I think of that more often than I look back at past GM’s of the Panthers.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
