Scott "The Fiddler" Fitterer

If you truly believe that then we should have kept Hurney.  "Rhule is the GM" right?

The GM builds a roster of 90 players that he thinks fit what the coaching staff are asking for.  He has final say on the draft and FA.  The coach evaluates that roster and picks the 60 players he think will get the job done.  He has final say on the in season roster.

That's how it works.  This doesn't preclude massive collaborative work between the two.  It's very clear that happens.  But each has final say in certain situations, and it seems to be working out pretty well.

FYI: The guy you're debating is the latest version of our old buddy Sanjay.

And for the record, he predicted that we would keep Marty since he believed Marty was a figurehead and David Tepper was actually making the personnel decisions because that was supposedly the Appaloosa Model.

Then when Marty was fired, he said we wouldn't hire a traditional GM (wrong). Once Fitterer was hired, he again said that Tepper was still in charge of personnel moves (wrong again). And lately he's on the notion that Matt Rhule is an absolute monarch because supposedly that's the Appaloosa Model now (what it actually means changes each time he's proven wrong).

Basically, he's just desperate to hang his hat on something so he can say he's right and everybody else is wrong. Unfortunately, he knows so little about football that everything he predicts or suggests winds up blowing up in his face.

I've told him before he should just be happy to be part of the conversation instead of trying to act like he's some sort of guru (and thus, annoying people) but he never listens.

I usually give folks a chance to have a conversation in good faith, but yea, people who aren't willing to do that I don't continue to bother with.  No loss.  Good apples, bad apples, every forum has each.  The trick is learning which is which.

Didn't put together that @SizzleBuzz was Sanjay.  Good catch.  His flurry of alts are tricky to read

Its his MO. He picks out something he thinks is a big deal and obsessively spams multiple topics with it till people are sick of hearing about it.

Previously it was a two tight end set pic that he found on Wikipedia. Now it's purported insight into David Tepper that he supposedly got by watching "Billions" on Showtime.

(guess you could say he has a pattern of questions sources too)

Your imagination knows no bounds...

(hey, it's understandable...you have a half million posts...hard to remember what took place when you're jacking up 1,000 posts per day 😂)

So far he's done an incredible job bringing in talent via the draft and FA.

Im more of Scott Finesser connoisseur. i like to add rerererer to the end of finesse since it adds a element of class to it as well....

Finesse initially meant skill and manueving through a situation with ease but over time it's been used to mean stealing or taking something in a sneaky manner.   

As my fellow kids say- "Finesser be licking fools"....

Great face pic, I did want to see one with more of his neck tho.....

Well some of that is partially true. Like Rhule can't be fired by Fitterer which is how it usually goes with the GM on top. Rhule has more authority than most HCs and certainly more than 1st time NFL head coaches. Fitterer clearly knows his poo though.

    • Yuck.  I still kind of like Herbert but these playoff performances are rough....
    • I feel like this was the case with River and McDermott defenses as well, we just had the jimmies and the joes to overcome these deficiencies with all pro players at edge and linebacker positions.  Even then, was extremely frustrated in 2015 when we'd let team come back from 20+ pt deficits playing prevent only to barely win at the end. 
    • We need to move on soon and just use Bryce as a bridge to find our next guy. I'd like to see how this offense works with Canales hand picking his own guy. Bryce holds this offense back a lot considering you draft the first pick to carry your team and be your best player. We invested heavily for Bryce and need everything to go right just to have him look like a solid game manager sometimes. When he plays well he can look decent or mid, but when he plays bad he looks like a bottom 5 qb in league (backups included). It's not worth it, especially if we need to pay him soon, which means we have to skimp all over the roster. If the defenses don't hand it to us on a silver platter Atlanta style then we struggle big time. Defenses don't respect the offense at all. With Cam we could have the worst offensive talent and I'd still think we had a shot in any game we played. If Bryce is facing a 3rd and 10 I pretty much wave the white flag and don't think we can make that first down.
