Asked about the importance of re-signing D'Onta Foreman, Panthers asst. HC/RB coach Duce Staley said:

    "Super high for me -- but my last name ain't Fitterer."

Lol. A bit of tension in that room 

meh... i dont read too much into that. A coach and a GM are not always going to agree on players. Do we know that Fitt DIDNT offer him a contract?

We all assumed that because of the connection

At the very least, he would’ve had to OK the deal. I can’t imagine we would’ve signed of running back if the running back coach didn’t like him.

I think Fitterer simply signed the biggest names he could at WR and RB to sell to the fanbase…….to try to mask how bad his CMC and Moore trades were. 

Coming off the Rhule nightmare and then trading away our best 2 players….he had felt obligated to throw names at us to lessen the blowback.   And it worked. All star coach narrative throwing random coaches together.  They falsely claimed Miles was a 3 down RB despite Philly parting with him because he wasn’t, etc

Good Lord, did Fitterer make ANY good decisions?  Everything he touched went straight to poo. 

Can't use the Fhule excuse now, dumbass.

13 month old tweet we already discussed last year.

They're both gone now.

 

Yes I realized that after I posted it

no idea why it showed up in my feed today 

regardless I believe it further shows the disconnects in the front office   I don’t recall seeing this specific comment from Duece either

This happens all the time across the NFL, not hard to imagine whatsoever.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
