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.

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Icege · Posted

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
