Carolina Panthers

Scott Fitterer’s tenure as the general manager of the Carolina Panthers was an abject disaster. In three seasons in charge of Carolina’s roster construction, Fitterer and his staff failed to make the NFL playoffs, never even finishing with a winning record in a season. His failures started with an inability to hit on non-first round draft picks.

The Panthers were unable to find any late round draft gems during Fitterer’s reign as the GM, leaving the bottom half of Carolina’s roster thin on talent. Combine that specific struggle with failed free agent signings, a rotating door at quarterback, constant head coach and coordinator changes, and you’ve got a whole bunch of losing seasons under your belt.

None of those things were FItterer’s biggest sin as the man in charge in Carolina.

The most prevalent wart on Fitterer’s resume was the inability to keep star talent in Charlotte. DJ Moore, Christian McCaffrey, and Cam Newton are just a handful of franchise-defining names that left the franchise during his tenure. Tre Boston, a former Panthers safety, took to X this afternoon to express his displeasure.

I ain’t gon lie! I’ll never forgive the guy who let all these greats leave in their Prime. It’s forever beef! I don’t like it! 😭😭😭😭😭 pic.twitter.com/s08Bn4LdKO

Boston didn't name Fitterer explicity, but Panthers fans know who he's talking about.

Carolina's history has been founded on their relationship with their on-field legends. Luminaries such as Jake Delhomme, Jonathan Stewart, Luke Kuechly, and numerous others continue to have a wonderful rapport with the franchise they made great. Fitterer's inability to foster relationships with the stars at the time of his tenure will define his failed time as the Panthers general manager.
