Guys guys it's gonna be fine...


NICOLE'S PICKING OUR COACH AGAIN 🎊

From what I have heard I don’t think that’s going to be the case this year. I think he knows he was sold dreams by Rhule and Frank. I wouldn’t be surprised is Fitterer is gone before EOS as well. 
 

I expect him to put real football people around him this time. He is tired of losing.

If Fitterer isn't then this feels meaningless and even possibly detrimental.

If we're keeping Fitterer but firing another coach mid-season, then I feel like most of the coaching talent pool are going to scoff at requests to interview. The reason being is it looks like we have a buffoon running the team and an even bigger buffoon running the front office. Who would really want to interview with us?

Please Jesus, fire Scott Fitterer.

Hate it for Frank the man but I think we all knew despite the rose colored glasses that being a homer, having the number 1 pick, the collective greatness of the staff on paper all brings that this was never going to work out. 

Even his staunchest defenders likely came to that realization around the Miami game I'd imagine. 

The offense is archaic and despite the holes on the roster (don't get me started on Fitt... firmly believe he should have been the first to go) there is simply no scheme, adjustment or improvement on a game by game basis. 

We bickered back and forth about "its just preseason" and when reporters questioned what our identity was as an offense because it was impossible to discern during our 4 games his response was "Good" as if it were all by design while the writing was on the wall the entire time. 

The fact that this offense after 11 putrid games makes me yearn for the days of Joe Brady, Ben McAdoo and Mike Shula should be all the confirmation needed something needed to change. I imagine he lost the locker room as well. Players have been checked out for about a month now.  

All the best to Frank and his family, it was a great story but that's all it was. 

Here's to hoping 3rd times the charm!

Peter Schrager just said on Good Morning Football it was Tepper “ripping the band-aid” off now because it doesn’t count against the cap, he has unlimited money, and it clearly wasn’t working. He didn’t seem to think it would doom us during our next hire, but did say he expected a “bloodbath” around the league this offseason with a ton of positions open, all probably more attractive than this one.

He said he hasn’t spoken to Tepper today but they do talk frequently and Bryce’s regression was a bigger deal than wins and losses. Schrager said Bryce looks nervous and nothing like the confident guy he saw at Alabama.

    • They know within 15 mins.  Many moons ago skins drafted Heath Shuler at like 5th overall and Gus Frerotte in the late rounds. You know the plan, its Heaths team. Old OLman stink said within 15 minutes they knew Gus was the better QB.  I didn't need 15 or players on the same field, I just knew like Bill said "he better walk on water", which he hasn't. I do blame tepper mainly for it, he spend the greater part of 2 year telling everyone Watson would be a panther......and fail....but a great fail...then Stanford turned panthers down.....tepper was beyond pissed and wanted a QB. He forced the trade and picked BY......and now by .....some grace of the gods formed a team with 4 QBs of no hope...... insane given the other roster spots.....
    • He definitely knows nothing about the Panthers, but there’s no denying he’s a pioneer in this whole draft grading and mock draft field.
    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep.
