Fritterer was a Rhule guy so he is a GM worthy of being under a midtier college coach? McAdoo has plenty of experience yet he is still terrible. I call BS. Show me where Fritterer has positive experience working in an organization with a traditional GM / HC rolls? Pre 2009 maybe? Simply put we can do better and it was a weak hire when they pulled the trigger. What matters more to other hires than Fritteres being given an unearned promotion after 2 years of failure is how Tepper handles the firing which I seriously doubt he is ready to do the corect way. That scares me way more than people being pissed off about a guy who teaded for Sam Darnold being replaced for someone better.

Lol no mercy for us or him. Ohh well, here comes that #1 pick. I guess this means no one in house believes in PJ anymore lol.

Meh any cap offset and additional picks of decent value should be on the table. I just fear too many crappy deals leave our hands tied on the guys we should be liquidating.

We should all grade rookies on their first couple of games lol. He was a prospect that needed some time but wasn't a project. He took his lumps and will have a few more yet but we have a legit LT now and hopefully a long time.

That situation was the one he was prepared for by being in a similar organization up in Seattle where the HC rules all, that was why Rhule wanted him. He fit that mold and would operate in that kind of system. Saying it's not fair he doesn't get a shot at a job type he wasn't hired for or have much experience with is a bit misleading. He was never a final say GM so just giving it to him is a complete shot in the dark when we could hire GM prospect trained in that kind of environment. He had his fair shot when he decided to sign on to a mess. It stinks but he did say yes to being a GM on a leash and to Rhule of all coaches. No one can downplay his decision there. I'm OK with seeing how he handles the rest of this year and him earning his job next year but no one owes him a damn thing he doesn't earn going forward. The season is still long from finished and all these guys have to play nice with each other while facing an uphill battle for wins.

He is a dinosaur and will be NFL extinct soon. He went up there and did exactly what many thought he would because he is so predictable. It is always the QBs fault and never his inability to put them in a good spot. D Jones says Hi and is a great example of why we should not go with a defensive backed coach this time.

He doesn't look like Ron lite and has some competency in putting together an offense that is basic but also a lot more effective than the pooshow we have seen all year. I expect a lot more running and rotation of non-Rhule guys. I am guessing the offense remains really bad and he runs too many soft zones in the D. I would be happy to be wrong tho.

I'm not so sure he is willing or desires to work with or under another NFL GM or Owner after what went down in SF. I get the opposite feeling. He knows he likes the colligate level and wants nothing to do with all the NFL BS he has been avoiding. Good coach but I don't see him coming back to the NFL anytime soon.

Have you been around since Tepper got here? The list is so long it's easier to list what he hasn't fugged up: Logo at midfield Practice bubble That is it.

Ahh the front office Hurney built. So there is more. Go ahead and fire the cap guy also. We need new people and a huge shakeup in the front office side.

Either put a lot more practice into the process or just do it in writing with editorial help. He still has not learned that winging it is a path to looking bad.

Lol maybe. Who knows how this team comes out and the Rams look not good so far. It could also be a get right game for the Rams. I have no idea and that is so much better than knowing what we would have got for a game just last week.

I agree that you can't blame him for everything under Rhule but he also wasn't a great hire, just the guy that would take a GM lite job under Rhule who was hand picked by Rhule. Maybe he is good or maybe he is worse than some of us think but he was never hired to be a full or real GM so grading him by the job he took and did is fair even if there is the asterisk of Rhule's rule attached. He even came from an organization where the GM took his directions from their HC so it's not like he was trained to be a fully functioning GM in the traditional since. It could just as easily say it's not fair to give that kind of candidate the benefit of the doubt when there are better options out there for a traditional GM role.

I hope you are right.

The list of offensive coordinators as first time hires had me excited about potential options. The list of failures that already proved they were better coordinators than HCs make me realize I had better learn to settle for the safe meh because it sure feels like that is what we are rushing towards. And fug Payton, it wouldn't work here and I doubt he doesn't washout in 2 years wherever he goes. Talking on TV is such a cushy job compared with the coaching grind. His best days are years behind him.

But all those leaks were faked by the media to make him look bad unfairly... Sounds like the smoke did indeed lead to a fire.

That would be a deal killer for me also. I was always expecting a washed up HC but I at least thought they would have had some success in the past as a HC...

Yeah that would be a hell no. If that if what Fritterer wants then it's best to do a hard reset under a consultant becaude he is a dead end as a GM. I'm not impressed with the current crews coaching tree conections. We need new options beyond Quinn and Dorsey and Ron again lol

What do all of you think Fritterer will do now? His position is far from safe so what does he need to do to save his job? I don't see how he doesn't start finding deals to dump longterm cap and if not stockpile then at least recover lost picks. How that works with Wilks trying his bestest to not lose would be some interesting friction and the potential for a huge mistake can't be far away. I know picks are far from guaranteed sucsesses but it is a volume game and right now we gave up way too much for for way too little over the past few years.

Your not wrong about his deal and how the team handled all of that. I was harsh on Teddy. He is a limited QB but he was dead on about the circus here. That doesn't change any of the rest.

He was right. They made that man look like trash and he was speaking the truth the entire time. Sorry Teddy. You still don't take the easy shots downfield but you were right and I was a dick.

Meh Wilks is a place holder. Rhule left him a mess and McAdoo is still calling plays. IMO Wilks isn't close to a long term answer and we need a HC with a better coaching tree. We are not hitting .500 this year.

Just IR him with Sam and start trying to forget it all ever happened.
