I’m not going to go through all the rounds but most people scoff at how GMs are SOOOOO much smarter than fans but are they really? Let’s look at some key Fitterer picks / signings 2021- Horn, the consensus on here was Micah Parsons. One has the durability of Swiss cheese, the other is a transcendent LB of this current era 2022- Ekwonu- I think the board was in consensus for this pick, just not playing the right position 2023- Young- the consensus was Stroud trading CMC- I think both fans and GM in agreement Burns- almost everyone on this board was in agreement on trading Burns, that never happened resigning Bozeman- board and GM in agreement resigning Thomas- nobody on this board thought resigning Ian Thomas was a good idea signing Sanders- board was 50/50 on this, I personally didn’t like the contract given to Sanders all I’m saying is Scott Fitterer isn’t that savant that’s way better then what some of the elders on this board could do if they were GM of the Panthers

He was a better coach but worse human but in either case this is like saying you’d prefer gonorrhea over chlamydia

Water is wet, more info tonight at 11

Even in their first loss today under Antonio Pierce, you can see how the Raiders were playing and had a chance until the very end. This was a 12.5 point underdog that could have very easily won this game. This is the same team that had no life/pulse under McDaniels. Antonio Durran Pierce is a leader of men Steve Wilks is a leader of men Matt Rhule, Josh McDaniels, Frank Reich are Billionaire CONMEN

Say that I was in my 30s

It’s basically an Audi Q7 equivalence in the driveway or season tickets to the Panthers. Once you remove the fan aspect and look at the monetary costs of season tickets and what else you can do with that money, it’s maddening

honestly it started during the beginning of last season with Rhule... Wilks gave me some excitement but it was a rinse and repeat this offseason with Reich

you're a long time fan as well... this ownership group has really alienated the long time fans who stuck through many bad seasons

I bet you don't regret it do you

Frank is too senile to play chess or checkers

I "grew up" with the Panthers as a transplant from WV, rooted for the Steelers but picked them up when I moved here in 1997. I'm 41 now but remember being excited to afford nose bleed season tickets, then I upgraded to lower level end zones and for the past 4 years club seats. I never in the past minded bad seasons and would always go to the games. Today, I sold my tickets knowingly to a Cowboys fan, enjoyed sitting at home and watched RedZone and honestly thought how much more convenient and enjoyable this was. I have NEVER missed a home game if I am in town, never but today I just had no desire to go, at all. At the games I find myself playing on the phone, walking around, annoyed by the lack of great and exciting food options and an environment that's just about as entertaining as walking into Belk's department store. I'll still follow the team, go to away games as a tradition with my boys to see different stadiums but I don't see any rhyme or reason to keep forking $7700 a year for a crap product and a team that has no soul or direction. I would say my sunk cost on being a fan of this team is over $200k between tickets, 2 Super Bowl trips, London game, etc. I'll still post on this board cause I like y'all but my "diehard fandom" days have been drained out of me. At least the Hornets while losers are lovable and entertaining losers, worthy of my $9k annual commitment. I don't have any short / near term optimism for this team. New Coach / GM, won't make a difference. There's an undeniable stench on Mint St and it starts and ends with David and Nicole Tepper, AKA Tepper Sports & Entertainment. It's apparent that he runs the Panthers and his dealings with city officials as if they are a hedge fund. While analytics may work amazing when picking some company to buy because of their PE ratio, it's not so amazing when you're picking Teddy B over Cam MVP Newton. It's not so amazing when you're relying on S2 and not your eyeballs in OSU / GA game watching Stroud dice up an NFL caliber defense in college. Until Tepper$ remove themselves from trying to run the Panthers and not running the business of owning an NFL franchise this team will be perpetually doomed. Fire Reich / Fitterer, sure put those two boot lickers out of their misery but until Dave and Nicole buy a self reflection mirror and put the Carolina Panthers franchise first and not their ego to have to be involved in every decision we'll find ourselves in the same miserable predicament with whomever is our next jock sniffing coach and GM. Mr. and Mrs. Tepper, I am keenly aware you have social media assistants who peruse this board to get a finger on the pulse. I know I am a peon in the sea of season ticket holders but I hope that many of us end our financial commitment until meaningful change occurs. Mr. Tepper you of all people know as a money manager that sinking another penny into this franchise as a fan is a terrible investment. Rest in POWER Mr. Richardson, miss you as an owner!

At least when Tepper said he wouldn't accept mediocre he meant it, we're down right awful

he should have never been the pick... never!

I take it you finished breakfast

TMJ is done in Charlotte

That’s pretty much the end of his career

This is gonna be a national embarrassment

I proudly sold and profited tremendously from my tickets to Cowboys fans

You know Tepper gonna hate seeing ole Jerry look out from that box and witnessing Dallas’ home away from home

Frank’s offense is as interesting as ambien. Great guy but should have never been rehired

Just put him out of his misery

Now they’ll tank appropriately and get a top 10 pick…. That’s what a smart team would do

If Frank had any decency he’d take half of that contract owed and fade into retirement

This guy went from about to be fired to contender for GM of the Year https://texanswire.usatoday.com/lists/4-reasons-texans-nick-caserio-nfl-executive-year/
