Mr. Scot

Agree on all points...

Equally so on message boards

One of the things I caught watching the press conference was Fitterer's expression when he talked about how young (emphasized "young") the offensive line is as a group. But yeah, that's what we want.

That's being a person of honor.

I'm actually kinda interested in the first few Michigan games now...

Not many will get this reference but this guy's name sounds like a stereotypical rich kid character in a show like Dobie Gillis. The only thing that's missing is a suffix like "the third".

I didn't really need anyone to lower my expectations. They were already low. And honestly, I won't feel too bad if this season is mediocre. I remember we overachieved in Gettleman's first season as a GM. Some folks actually felt that set us back. There's an argument to be made...

Except he didn't. That's documented. What he's done though is act like a man and take ownership rather than just blaming somebody else. In his post firing comments, Rhule did the exact opposite.

One more former Panther gets picked up...

Or Rhule, for that matter. That's the kind of response you should expect from a professional.

"If we don't make the playoffs in Year One, fire everybody!!!"

Pretty much. I know people were talking playoffs and stuff given the division, but some of us have already said we wanted to pump the brakes on that.

Hurney should have been fired no matter who the coach was. Schultz mentioned wondering what could have been if he'd been fired before Rivera. I added he's not the only one who wonders about that. And no, that doesn't bolster your argument. Actually it's another point against it. Guessing you didn't read that too carefully

Wish I knew. I tried to discount it when it was first happening, but she's been consistent

Pretty sure Corral goes to the practice squad...or potentially elsewhere, I suppose.

Brandt was primarily discussed on here for his initial evaluation of Cam Newton, but he has a much longer history than just that. RIP to one of the great personnel guys of NFL history.

So...down to four, and a roster spot opened.

The story of that meeting is one of the things that made me uncomfortable about Rhule early on. Tried pretty hard to get past it, but it never really left. For his part, Tepper has at least admitted that early on he genuinely believed he was the smartest guy in the room and was going to show the rest of the league how it was done. Obviously he didn't, but the fact that he's willing to admit that is a good sign.

Dude, we all get it. You don't like Fitterer. You think he should have been fired. Everybody gets it at this point. The problem is that the reasoning behind your argument is, well... To be brutally honest, stupid. And it's not a super fan thing. The vast majority of people here would agree that Fitterer will and should be given a chance to see what he can do without having to answer to The Meatball. That's where we are. There are only a few people whining about it. You just happen to be the most vocal.

Or a bleeding and a course A lot of us wondered about that. We've learned since his firing that Tepper actually became disillusioned with Rhule after his very first season, but still stuck with him for what would have been two more. "Patient" is definitely one way to describe that.

Oh, she will. And when the Cowboys games are on, I'll be sitting with her. The parakeet will only be sitting with us for the Dallas games, though. When the Panther games are on, she throws a fit, goes back to her cage and sulks. (not kidding about that, she really does)

His name used to give my autocorrect fits.

Lady Cowboy Fan thinks it's hilarious
