...shows you if you build the lines you can plug and play....especially at RB...

Right. A RB is pretty damn dependant on the line in front of them. Minus maybe a few select VERY special backs. 

So again, why they felt the need pay Miles who isn’t special is beyond me

Dallas showed that years ago when their line was the most elite in the NFL. Any RB they put in that system became gold. I don't know why Fitts didn't understand this. Philly took Gainwell and made him look like a RB1 in the playoffs. 

Fitts vision is suspect on a lot of levels....just worried we will be in this same spot 3 years from now.

Seems like the thing to do is draft a running back every 2 3 years that is hungry...but they take so much punishment they're spent after about 5 years. The word is out don't overpay for a RB...but what does fit do? overpay for a RB....

I have been long suffering with Fitterer. I have defended questionable moves and honestly blamed most of it on Rhule. However, it is obvious now that Fitterer is not capable of evaluating talent. 

I am kind of there too. I think I cut Fitterer slack because of Dan Morgan.

I never felt like there was enough evidence that he was behind stuff, when we have a heavy handed meddlesome owner and the previous cosach had control over the roster not the. GM. How are you supposed to be able to judge his performance in that situation. I didn’t want to unfairly place blame.

Now, I will fairly place the hell out of some blame.

Whoever’s fault this is, it is time for accountability, and every person involved has majorly failed. 

I am fine with firing all of them. Every single person working on the staff and in the front office. We are like an expansion team, may as well go full new.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
