Yeah. I told my son during the second half that I can't wait to see what he can do with the roster over a few seasons.

 

Rhule controls the roster...

...Fitterer gathers info and executes on Rhule's calls.

Fitterer's "GM" title is simply a PR courtesy -- Rhule is the GM.

All coaches control the final 53. Coaches usually identify the "type" of players they want and the GM usually goes out and gets them in any good coach/gm relationship.  Fitts is far from a figurehead and completely runs the draft and free agency. He engineered all the draft trades, draft confidential on panthers.com made that quite clear.

Uhhh yeh Fitt has plenty of power. He was the drafting leader. The group looked like they worked well together in panthers confidential video on YouTube

Nonsense.

100% agree, very competent exec...but he works for the GM, and that's Rhule.

He made the phone calls...

The Appaloosa Model is collaborative in nature but Fitterer doesn't have "GM" powers, those powers reside with Rhule.

If you truly believe that then we should have kept Hurney.  "Rhule is the GM" right?

The GM builds a roster of 90 players that he thinks fit what the coaching staff are asking for.  He has final say on the draft and FA.  The coach evaluates that roster and picks the 60 players he think will get the job done.  He has final say on the in season roster.

That's how it works.  This doesn't preclude massive collaborative work between the two.  It's very clear that happens.  But each has final say in certain situations, and it seems to be working out pretty well.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By strato · Posted

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
