    -We had Foreman last year and a healthy Oline

    -the scheme is built around Bryce. The Panthers were the only team in the NFL using a Power O scheme. Other teams dropped this scheme years ago. There is a reason they dropped it.

    -we don’t have the WRs that can do it. That falls on Fitt as he handpicked all of these WRs.

    It’s funny to me that everyone blames Reich on this sub and everyone else in the NFL world knows Fitt is the problem. Fitt can’t evaluate talent which leaves any head coach in a difficult spot working with bad players.

        Three rival NFL front-office executives said they weren’t surprised Reich and his staff struggled to produce wins this season, because the Panthers’ roster is so thin on talent. Speaking on condition of anonymity so they could talk freely about another team, they also questioned how general manager Scott Fitterer has kept his job. Fitterer constructed Carolina’s feeble roster and helped Reich make the decision to draft Young over C.J. Stroud, the Texans quarterback who may win Offensive Rookie of the Year. Some believed the more prudent decision would have been to keep Reich another year while replacing Fitterer, to see if a new front office could fortify the roster and give Reich and Young a better chance to succeed.
