Interesting listen for those who have time  7 mins…at 2 mins or so, the comment on factions and Fitterer 

I truly believe the house needs to totally cleaned out, Fitterer, every single coach, all of it

Anyone who has ever worked in a team oriented situation knows the truth of the insinuations here 

also found one of the comments to this post having some truth that perhaps the players don’t believe in Young too.   ….ill add to it, Fitterer saving his ass by going to Tepper about Reich not coaching up Young (ie, the depth of drops)   

scott Fitterer, Mr consensus builder, is a snake 

if this org is ever going to be successful the coach and GM need to be joined at the hip

Im not sure hes a snake, probably more of a rat trying to save himself from a sinking ship.  Either way hes terrible at his job and should have already been fired, and if hes not fired this offseason, i think that is the absolute worst case single decision this franchise could currently make.

If I'm Scott Fitterer, I started look for my landing spots after Frank was fired.  While Frank was not able to bring together his offense with Thomas Brown's offense, Scott was one of the major players responsible assembling this team.  He absolutely should be held to account, and be fired.

It's been said many times that there are a lot of smart people in the Panthers' F/O, and I'm not going to insult people I don't know.  But the results speak for themselves.  It's just not working.  No need to keep beating your head against the same wall.

We need a BIG ole refresh of most of the team.

Fitt is an awful GM. He hasn’t done anything positive. Every trade he’s made, in hindsight, has been terrible. Trading the #1 pick and a sold WR for a QB that’s probably at best a top back up. Team is going to be bad until he is fired. 

Yeah Rhule and Tepper weren't great influences but he's horrible on trades, giving and receiving. He was signed in January 21 and first big moves were signing Pat Elfein, Cam Erving, and the Darnold trade. Then I don't give a poo if Rhule liked the guy you don't skip on Trey Smith for a long snapper in that 2021 6th round. Oh then he gave Robbie Anderson that dumbass contract while he was holding out of camp. These moves listed were all made by him in his first 7 months

Yep, and we have probably the least talented overall roster in the NFL.   During games sometimes the announcers talk the team up that we are even playing close at the time, like we are a college team playing against an NFL team.  That is absolutely unacceptable and that's on the GM.

We need to clean house completely, unfortunately Tepper will want to keep Fitt, Campen, Tabor, and Bryce. 

And if the owner does this, barring a miracle, he will totally lose what is left of his fan base and I’m not just talking about people in the area who buy tickets 

at some point, tepper’s ego won’t be able to stand being a laughing stick who is every traveling team’s get well hostess party

No matter how you feel about Fitterer he’s done a bad job. There’s qualities I like about him but it’s undeniable at this point. The only reason is to keep him around is if you believe he has the qualities to become a good GM with more time, but frankly I don’t think we’ve seen enough progress from year 1 to bank on that.  He is who is— a human calculator who is good at asset evaluation on paper but is throwing darts at the wall to when it comes to talent evaluation.

Tepper needs more than just a new GM.

I suspect until Tepper takes a couple of steps back Fritterer is the kind of front office guy we will keep seeing. Tepper is way too easy to manipulate and I can only imagine what the rest of 'his guys' get up to that we don't know about. Sounds like a snake pit

Great point. Fitt’s probably as good as a Yes Man gets.

With what's come out, it's not even about the job he's doing.

You can't ask somebody to come into a culture like that. You'll have to clean house as far as assistant coaches as well.

    • Plus he was in the era in which Safety, LBs, and CBs could de-cleat WRs/TEs on crossing routes. He was beyond tough too. Plus those numbers his 4.66 40 time etc....... GameDay with 15 LBs of pads/clothes/tape, he was the fastest guy on the field. In fact I never recall at any point Rice being ran down or "hawked" from behind by any player. He was a gamer and clutch, just like lex Lugar the total package. 
    • Not all talent can be measured with a ruler and stopwatch. His hands, body control, and skills were ELITE. 
    • He did have talent, but if you look at his combine/workout numbers...they are not eye popping like many of the combine freaks are. All the best have talent, smarts, and work ethic. What he was able to do in his 40s, he holds all the records after 40. He had two 1k seasons at 39 and 40, no other WR has 1k after 36. He came back from a ACL tear within 9 months after he turned 35 years old. You know this is the era where ACl was a career derail-er and it took most mortal men took a full 12 months and they were never the same. Only two other players have made catches at that age (40) and neither one was a wide receiver. LOL at Tom being one of them....   I also read or heard, he would have still played if not for ST. He was going to play for the broncos in 2006, I think he would have been 44???, he earned a spot as the #4-6 but the numbers game of having WRs play ST ended his career. He could still get open and play, just no sense in having the GOAT run head first into a wedge on KO duties.....
