I think people want Fitt gone too. This makes it look like Reich/staff is just the scapegoat.

I think people just want something to bitch about. 

All you hear today is “the dysfunction of the Panthers” due to the third head coach firing since Tepper bought the team.

Should Rivers’s firing be counted towards the dysfunction when everyone wanted Rivera fired even before he was?

Should the Rhule hiring be counted towards the dysfunction when he was one of the hot names on the coaching carousel that year? Should Rhule’s firing count when everyone wanted him fired the off-season before he was fired?

Does Reich’s firing now mean dysfunction when, again, people have been clamoring for it for weeks?

What’s the point of keeping Reich around if a firing is inevitable? Why not rip off the band-aid and start the recovery process?

This fan base, and especially this board, just want something to bitch about. The great thing for them is they get to bitch with hindsight.

Not going to hold any ill will toward Reich. Just didn't work out. What is most demoralizing is that I'm not sure there's any way out of this downward spiral in the near term because the root problem may be at the very top.

Rewatched a blip from the 1st round draft presser I caught something that should have been more obvious at the time.

Joe Person asked how Frank dealt with needing more convincing of Bryce because of his size preferences...Frank answered that "It wasn't that I needed convincing" and that it was about how he was "committed to the process"..but what he referenced, wasn't himself turning in favor on Bryce, rather, that the entire scouting department had a moment in the room where Scott asked them and they were all unanimous with Bryce. "And Bryce was their guy, and that was great for me to hear" He goes on to say general superlatives and that Scott told him to just take their time.  Eventually he said they watched tape and Bryce was "the best player", but man, reading between the lines, you can tell.  The coaches had to be convinced.  The scouting room didn't.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      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.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
