I agree with this 

I felt like Fitterer thought, really thought, he was getting Russell Wilson 2.0

…a better version in his mind

Common theme too.  The LOB era has steadily influenced Fitterer.  It is why he drafted a LOB corner in the top 10 as his first move too.  No way that was Matt Rhule pulling his weight for that.   

and Tepper came out singing what Fitterer pitched him IMO.  Just imagine what we can save if we draft Bryce and we can devote all of our extra resources to our LOB D.  That's how you win.  That was the mindset Tepper was sold by someone and it's just a ripoff of the old Seattle team

So was all that about Fitt walking into Frank’s office and him saying “it’s Bryce” a fabricated story by both?

I think Frank bent to the pressure in the building.  I think he knew where other people were at even though they 'supposedly' didn't know each other's pick. 

That's the reason both Frank AND Josh got fired because neither were firmly in Young's camp.  I think it was well established that McCown was smitten with Stroud during the pre-draft process.

Yes I think this is true.

As much as I want to root for Dan Morgan, I think we need a full cleaned house.  Everyone has to go.  Sucks, but the stench has just been too thick and heavy this year.  Just not good enough period.

Agree. We had maybe a couple actually good moves out of dozens of draft picks, FAs and trades.

There’s so little good that I can’t understand why we would want to keep anyone. If Morgan wasn’t a former Panther, no one would be suggesting to keep him.

Sorry, but I really don’t believe the hype on these stories. You can find all kinds of like/love stories on every prospect. We had tons of good stuff to say about Young, Stroud and AR. Same with Pickett and friends the year before. We met and had positive articles on Pickett, Willis and Corral. Stroud called Nicole Mama Tepp so maybe Nicole was smitten by Stroud and it was Reich and Fitterer who vetoed her for Young.

95% of the stories about McCown were that he told CJ that they’d play a pickup game in Charlotte. Stroud loves sports including basketball so that’s literally small talk with CJ.

I’ll say it again, if Josh and Frank loved CJ so much then I’m glad they are gone. If after their many years in the NFL (as QBs no less) they can’t convince Fitterer and Tepper to go Stroud that’s sad.

I run ideas past my boss all the time, it doesn't mean he uses any of them.  It may be sad, but a billionaire and lackey can be stubborn.

Not sure I can sign on to this...

If we're staying in-house, I'd probably prefer Adrian Wilson.

But what I'd prefer most at this point is that we not stay in-house

Which tree do we pull from?  John Lynch, Brandon Beane?  I would think we would try to get someone from a tree that has been success for many years. We thought we had the right guy when we pulled Fitterer from Seattle.

My choices would be Will McClay, Joe Hortiz, Brandon Hunt or Ray Agnew If you really believe in the two-for-one idea with Ben Johnson (I don't).

I hope they don’t hire Samir Sulieman as new GM he is incompetent to be GM otherwise Brian Burns would always have a new contract since he’s the contract negotiator 

I'm worried Tepper will go for an analytics guy because he thinks it's the wave of the future and it'll be another chance to show he's smarter than everyone else.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      I realize it about the expectations, but on paper, we drafted players who would have a chance to compete at positions where any could realistically step in and take the job---Freeling?  Yup.  Hunter?  Yup.  Brazzell?  Yup.  It is likely that all three see the field early and often.  Day 3:  Lee?  I see him as the #3 CB and the job is his when they are ready for him--and it is his to lose.  Hecht?  I loved him in mock research and called him the best C in the draft.  He might play a year behind Fortson or he could take the job--regardless, he is the obvious front runner for the 2027 season.  Wheatley?  I see Ransom and Moehrig as basically the same "in the box" type S.  If Wheatley can learn for a season behind Scott, he has the tools to be a serviceable FS, something this team needs.  Finally, Kuwatch seemed to be a PS pick, and he could be--but to win the 4th ILB job, he needs to beat out Bam Morris-Scott and with a 46.5 vertical (I can't do that on the triple jump) and a superior RAS rating, he looks like a special teamer and depth piece.....I forgot about Morgan's comment about giving up the 5th--probably to get ahead of Detroit.  Freeling has the athleticism and the tools to be the best OT in this draft.  The others lacked arm length or something like that--Freeling simply lacks a ton of experience.

      excellent points and insights.  I agree on Tepper.  I guess I worry that his questions and comments might influence the thinking of his employees, that his presence in the room might add pressure to an already stressful situation, but after watching it again, it does not appear to be like that.  Morgan was in charge.  Canales mentioned needing a center, but beyond that, he was there to serve as a consultant, more or less, if asked.  I suppose my point was this--everyone knew their roles, I did not see egos--I saw empowerment.  As for Morgan--I saw a leader that listened to others, made wise decisions, and never lost control.  I was VERY IMPRESSED with Dan Morgan.

      Pretty good summation, although I would caution just a bit that there might be a little of over-enhanced expectations. I do agree with the assessment on BPA. It was exceedingly clear they had a specific shopping list. Early on when there was some discussion about the tackles available, Morgan was asked if he was willing to give up a 5th to get Freeling, if it came to that. I think the only way it wasn't a left tackle with that 1st pick is if none that were valued as a 1st were still available.
