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

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.

      Redzone Offense vs. KC by drive

      By Icege · Posted

      NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.

      Crazy stat

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
