Well I also don't see Reich putting up drastically different results. IMO, if I am given the choices of Reich or Wilks, I don’t have any real strong opinions on those guys. Now if the wheels fall off the rest of the season, I might change that opinion.

He means accepting responsibility.

TBD but I would agree Reich is probably a little better option to "right the ship." He is also not really going to be capable of elevating the team much above respectable, so the cons aren't gonna be that drastically different than Wilks.

The more I think about it, if Wilks rallies the troops the rest of the way(which he sort of has already), maybe we just stick with him on a short term deal. At least we might be able to restore some credibility to the organization and make it a more attractive option if we have to move on from him. Plus....I am pretty concerned about Tepper's next hire. I sincerely hope he has some good FOOTBALL knowledgeable people around him for that decision.

Yeah, the DBO sign and all the arbitrary running and punishments that training camp was my moment.

Not sure but I do know that Von Miller can suck every pecker on the planet at once.

He is such a fuging buffoon. And he keeps going from outlet to outlet trying to sell this stupid poo.

Yeah, I think Burfict broke him. That fuger is really who should be in jail.

Yeah, if I was involved I would want to learn everything possible. Even before I started out, I would probably immerse myself in every shred of information and human resource possible.

Current version me would not meddle. I could see myself trusting the wrong person to run it. I could not see myself falling for Matt Rhule. That I can assure you. Seen too many of that type before. I know what that is.

I would like to think I wouldn't because I have a pretty solid handle on my limitations and I have managed people before. I know how bad micromanagement can screw things up.

I'm not sure if you are trying to be ironic or not but.....

You do realize you are an insane person, right?

Yeah, I hope he is involved enough to have some opinions and I hope he is smart enough to trust the people he hired.....to a point(looking you, Matt Rhule).

Yeah but you also know that Hartman isn't an NFL caliber player. I get having college allegiances, I do. But you cannot let their college abilities cloud your NFL judgement.

Yeah, ear plugs are very inexpensive.

Yeah, hard to say. I do think the details of that deal becoming publicly available was like chumming the water for his agent.

If any of that is true and Tepper is making decisions on first round draft picks(or really any major personnel move) this franchise is fuged until he is gone. That is Dan Snyder/Jerry Jones level of meddling and it doesn't have a successful track record in the NFL.

These threads are perpetually ruined by college fan homers. The people trashing him are largely hyping their own trash SEC QB's. I am not sold on Levis either but the shade being thrown by Richardson or Rattler fans is laughable. Ya'll need to take your dumb college fan hats off when it comes to the Panthers. None of us give a fug about taking a bunch of overrated or bad college players to pollute our roster from your schools. Hook us up with some studs and that is great but we don't need any more Ben Boulware's, Elijah Hood's or whatever version of a not-NFL-caliber player that will get hyped in here to the nth degree by people that don't understand the NFL at all.

I just shake my head at the Richardson people. I genuinely believe they have never seen him play.

I disagree. We are at the point where we need better quality players, not just more players. Trading back is fine if you have a stacked roster and don't need a first round salary on the books or you have the luxury of trading into a future 1st round. Otherwise, trading back to load up on 4th-7th rounders is fuging absurd. We have a decent core now but we really need top tier players, not depth guys. Get some studs and/or potential starters in the 1st-3rd rounds with these higher picks. That is what will help us improve as a team.

It depends on what the free agent market looks like in 2023. If there are a lot if top tier pass rushers available, Fitt might be concerned about the market going nuts. Also keep in mind that the cap is about to start jumping up. Those could be reasons why he might be trying to get a deal done now, to lock him in at a lower range deal. I would say withhold judgement until the details are available.
