Josh had a track record of not improving so he deserved to get fired. It also seemed like he lost the locker room with Adams and even Renfro. Davis is still an idiot owner though. 12 head coaches in the past 22 years. He doesn’t know what he’s doing. I think Fitt is realizing just how much Pete Carrol helped his GM all those years. A consensus GM only works when your coaches and owner aren’t complete @ss.

Depends. Steve Jobs once said his biggest mistakes were not treating people like long term investments. Firing someone for making newbie mistakes just means hiring someone who hasn’t make those mistakes yet. Everyone has to learn. With coaches and GMs, you have to ask is the person learning from past mistakes and are they improving? Frank seems to be doing the same things he did in Indy. Scott…well it’s hard to tell if he’s learning or not.

Fitt said Chicago wanted either of the 3, and he felt finding a replacement WR would be easier than a replacement for DE or DL. He wasn’t technically wrong, they just missed on those replacements outside Theilen. Personally, I don’t think we go after AT if DJ were still around. And DJ would be filling all the same roles as AT right now. He’d be the go to guy. Long story short, we’d be crying about a lack of pass rush AND and lack of receiving talent outside of DJ if DJ were kept and Burns was delt.

Vikings are in tank mode. They won’t trade for anyone.

I just don’t know anymore. He had some terrible reps. https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx8pjkMjcgaWg8PTv_o5hPqME9naJda0fm?si=qGuUbeeCFKwsKCeL

“But Brown said he has free range to build the playbook – the first time he's done it in the NFL, and the second time he's done it in his career (he built the playbook at Miami while working as a college offensive coordinator under Mark Richt from 2016-18). When the offensive staff sits at a conference table in his office, Brown presents his work for position coaches to help tailor details and solidify certain areas. "The first thing I really appreciate about Frank is he's let me just roll so far," Brown said. "So being able to kind of put my own stamp on it and just be with the guys in this room while he handles some stuff from a head coach standpoint, it's been awesome for me.” https://www.panthers.com/news/thomas-brown-dives-into-the-work-behind-creating-all-new-playbook

Brown said before the season that Frank asked him to write the playbook. Frank gave his input after the initial draft, but it’s mostly Brown’s playbook.

Zach Taylor, Jimmy Johnson, and Bill Walsh all had 0-7 starts.

Why? They are all part of the same business and rely on each other to survive. Is it weird that each McDonald’s franchise owner isn’t trying to outcompete and shut down the other franchise down the street?

Not going to happen. Pro sports is cyclical. Team suck for a while and are good for a while. Being a KC or NE (past 20 years) is mostly luck anyway. No one is going to tie their financial future to lucky or unlucky draft picks. Besides, even the good teams everyone watches need the bad teams to fill out a schedule. Also, the players union would never agree to that since a non-even split would impact the salary cap. They don’t want some teams having $150 mill to spend while others have $250. Spreading the love evenly is in the best interests of all players.

It’s in players best interest to get that big first contract. JC would be an idiot to sabotage that.

Walkability is great for places with high population density, but that’s never been the south. What makes living down here nice (traditionally anyway) has been the low pop density (big single family housing plots, etc). Thats why the suburbs exist. A lot of people don’t want to live in an apartment/condo.

No paper bags or ‘fire Tepper’ signs?

I think the current owners of the Bills would have something to say about that. Also all the other owners.

Good luck.

‘All our talent’ = 2-3 defensive guys.

The ‘trade our best players for a quick fix’ approach isn’t working. The way to actually fix this roster is to retain our best players, get a coach and GM that can draft well, and do exactly that for 3-4 years. We need starters, but we need depth more. Slow and steady wins the race.

We are not one piece away. We need starters and depth at every position.

We don’t need picks. We need good players. He is a good player. Remember, we essentially traded CMC for Mingo, DJ Johnson, and Zavala. Picks are great until they turn into players.

If he can’t receive a bigger role in this terrible WR room, he’s not going to get one anywhere.

The two newest owners.

DJ was clearly a coaches pick looking at the draft room vids. That doesn’t excuse Fitt though. That was an obvious bust from day one.

They can do that if they want, but math tells us that giving away 5% to every 1st round pick means teams will eventually run out of shares to give away.

It’s not just delusion its ego. An ego that big is going to be a problem.

Exactly. Who was the last QB that won anything without some very good WRs? Cam? Brady?
