Fit might have the worst resume for a GM of all time.

Who is his best pick? What is his best trade?

Traded real picks for Sam Darnold, Matt Corral, Baker Mayfield.
Young over Stroud. Let alone how much they gave up to move up
Horn over Surtain, Parsons, Devonta Smith and Fields looks bad.
Icky looks like a bad pick.
Terrace Marshall in 2nd looks awful
Mingo in the 2nd looks bad.
DJ and Zavala in 3rd and 4th look awful.

He also had 10 picks in the 5th or later and I don't think he has hit on any of them.

Today is pile-on-the-Panthers day. I'd stay off sports sites for a while unless you're a masochist, or a Saints fan.

Well deserved, unfortunately.


I will say I'm surprised they also fired Duce and McCown. I almost wonder if they asked out. Seemed like McCown was a big Stroud fan and rumors were Reich wanted McCown also

Give me Marty Hurney back. At least he hit on all-pros in the first round. Hurney would have definitely taken Parsons too

Panthers are here right now because of the putrid drafting the last 4 years. Same with the Bills. When you draft really bad for 3 years in a row, its really hard to compete.

I appear to have accidentally clicked something and now my phone doesn't do mobile view of the board. Everything is super zoomed out.

Anyone know where the mobile view button is? Can't seem to find it.

I'm pretty sure we could make a team and outscore the Panthers.

Young had 29 yards passing at the half.

Is this the worst offense ever in the modern era?

If it's not, I'm not sure what could be worse.

We have the worst OL (after being good with the same group last year)
We have the worst WR's. Adam Thelin is our best WR. He's a #3 guy.
We have the worst TE's. Hurst is the only one that is even decent.
We have mediocre RB's. Sanders was a product of the Philly offense.

And it sucks to say, but besides Zack WIlson, Bryce has probably been the worst starting QB.

Whole thing needs a revamp this off-season. Fit needs to be fired yesterday. Tepper has to hire good people and not meddle.

Not lookin good.

Decided to follow the Hurricanes this season too, and they can't defend anything. Might not even make the playoffs at this rate after being Cup favorites in pre-season.

Maybe I'm just cursed.

Everyone hates on Bryce, rightfully so... but I feel like the Mingo pick isn't ridiculed enough. The 39th pick and he hasn't scored a single TD. He is 13th among rookies in rec yards... him and Theilen should have been good enough together to be a real NFL wr corp, although a bad one.

Off the top of my head didn't we trade up on the 3rd and draft a guy that has maybe played 4 snaps this year as well?

I didn't like the Mingo pick. He didn't do anything in college to be worth a pick that high.

Fitt is really bad at drafting.

At least in years prior to this new regime, drafting was a strong suit of the team. Luke, Cam, Brown, Star. We consistently drafted pro-bowl or at least starter level players for years.

out of touch old man post coming in:

internet is a funny place where all cultures combine and i must admit i often struggle to keep up with whats offensive/triggering.

I honestly did not know that "thug" had become a racially charged term. It originated in India and we always used to describe a person or group who were unnecessarily violent. Basically a violent bully.

I wouldn't consider it racial at all. We just happen to live in a current state where every thing is a trigger to somebody's over politicized identity and sensitive sensibilities.

Honestly it seems more racist to call it a racist term than anything else.

Panthers 3 points at the half and 112 yards of total offense (most all of it in the last drive of the half).

Carolina Pro sports have been so **** for years now. It's wild.

If NC ever gets an MLB team, I want it to be in Raleigh so the Charlotte sports curse doesn't affect them too.
