Fitt and Tepp

From this article and the ESPN one, sounds like Fitt is pretty close with Tepp. He'll probably get one more year most likely... 


*sigh*

"well liked and works well with others" reads like "fully willing to be a rubber stamp for David Tepper" to me.

[CamWhoaaCam]

I would do anything to get Tepper to sell the Panthers...

Sad to say I'm starting to get that feeling as well.

The way Dianna Russini talked about Frank Reich's situation made it sound like Tepper and Fitterer were on the same page. She also pointed out (rightly) that defense and special teams haven't been a problem, just offense.

So if Tepper feels okay about the roster in those areas, it would indicate he might not have a problem with his GM or front office.

Tepper- "Listen here Scot, matt rhule is the boss, do as he says."

Fitt- "ok...i mean yes'

Tepper- "Fired Matt Rhule, Im the CEO boss now. I demand trading to the #1 and after din-din we are drafting Byce Young"

Fitt- "yes"

I nearly think it's a lock that fitt is just teppers #1 yes man.

Only way you could keep this guy around....any of the 31 teams in the league woulda jettison his azz two years in maybe sooner.. Its like Fitt had aspirations of being a brain surgeon but ended up a stir cook...

To be clear, there's another side to the "works well with others" discussion.

Why did we draft Matt Corral? Reportedly it was because Ben McAdoo wanted him.

Why did we draft DJ Johnson? Word on that was that he was favored by DC Ejiro Evero.

Why did we sign Miles Sanders? Story there was that Deuce Staley and Frank Reich advocated for him.

Why did we draft Jonathan Mingo? Pre-draft we were told that a certain receiver had so impressed the coaching staff that they were certain to draft him if they had the chance.

Why did we draft Bryce Young? Well, that topic's been discussed plenty already.

There's a pattern here, though.

Former Titans GM Floyd Reese hated having coaches involved in scouting because, per his words, coaches had a tendency to fall in love with a particular player over highlights rather than looking at the whole picture.

Obviously, it's the GM's job to get the kind of players his coaches want, but how much he should listen on particular players is a matter of debate.

It's one of those things that's been in the back of my mind for a while now. Tepper is obviously the bigger concern, but these stories also make me wonder.

[TeppersEgos]

I am convinced that Scott Fitterer will be here for another year. Tepper is a joke and so wildly incompetent that he would fire the head coach and not one of the worst GMs in recent history. Absolute clown show. I would do anything to make Tepper sell the team.

Not so much that as saying there's such a thing as being too "collaborative".

[Cpt slay a ho]

Just like I said last off season when we didn’t fire rhule, going into next season with Fitts at gm will only prolong this suffering we have to endure to field a competitive team in a division that’s begging to be taken over

That’s the only way I can pull for them again.  Dude is a clown at the highest level.

I can't tell where Tepper ends and Fritterer begins. I just know Tepper is up front
