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.

Very cool that the publically owned Packers are one of the winningest.

So basically we overcorrected and went from CEO coach to a coaching committee.

Over a 100 years of experience gave us the worst coaches we’ve had so I’m with him on that being overrated. A smart football mind who is a motivational leader is what I want and I think Greg has that. i believe this is just a stunt to up his stock though. Like McCown, just being considered for a HC gig is a good one on the resume.

y'all realize he has two sports teams in Charlotte right

Belichick failing here would be disasterous. Atleast everyone agrees that Rhule and Reich were inept. Media's going to go in on Tepper if he gets similar results with the 6x champion.

Said this in another thread but I have a hard time believing Frank was bullied into betting his career on a QB he didn't want and then grew a spine when asked to run some RPOs.

So we’re supposed to believe Reich didn’t take a stand on the QB he wanted but chose this as his hill to die on?

We don’t have a first round pick and this team is not talent enough to go far with Andy Dalton. Bryce is getting another year.

nah that would be 2019 when we lost Cam, Luke, and Greg.

Everyone acting like Young was a reach now is dumb. Who cares if Nicole likes him, so did the rest of football media.

I remember going to a Bobcats game, I think it was the 7-59 season, and they gave everyone a ticket to the next game after a fan made a free throw. I didn't feel like waiting at will call for mine.

If Reich didn't have the balls to stand up to Tepper it's on him. He'd get the credit if we were winning, he doesn't get to weasel out of just because we aren't.

All the hype over how smart the organization was going into the season has opposing teams just flexing on us now to make a point. Every week it's cutesy trick plays and Bryce getting fooled by some defensive look.

fans literally marched to the stadium in a parade to see Cam return while we had a losing record bro it's not a mystery

most hilarious indictment on Fitterer is that our defensive scheme isn't helping Burns and this offensive scheme would only work with McCaffery.

There's been so many complaints about the trade up to get him I didn't know he was doing well

I'd jump at this gig as a coaching candidate. Rich and desperate owner, Heisman QB, win five games and you look like Bill Belichick

Start with the GM. We don't want Tepper and Fitterer leading the search again.

Saw a reddit comment explain that Clifford's defensive system is about limiting turnovers and forcing opponents to take difficult shots. It doesn't work anymore because teams have so many three point shooters now.

If he can't hire a good GM how's he's going to pick a consultant with even more responsibilty?

Outside of financial details I don't think there's any decision you can peg solely on Fitterer. He doesn't strike me as that type of GM. He was spared because it was mostly on Rhule but he definitely shouldn't get a free pass on those years. Empowering him was about giving him the chance to clean up the mess he helped make. If he can't do that he's next on the chopping block.

If Fitt’s fired it’ll be because of his career here not because of the QB choice. Bryce was a group decision there won’t be a fall guy.

That should be his leash. He gets another year since they've pissed away 2024 already but no trades.

Reich is safe. Tepper doesn't want to bail early. Fitt is probably safe only because no GM will want to come in with no first round pick.
