This is why I've been saying that not only should Rhule be fired, but Fitterer should go with him. Go hire a real GM, not just some guy you brought on to be a yes man and paper pusher for a college coach. And no, I don't think a legit GM candidate who thought he might have potential other options would've ever agreed to come on in such a role.

Have said before that I'm pretty sure that's why Ed Dodds pulled out of the interview process. He saw the writing on the wall.

(and kudos to him for doing so; he looks pretty smart now)

That said, I still want to see what Fitterer and Morgan can do without Rhule around to screw everything up.

and RR didn't have a say when Hurney came back?  People need to wake up, its a HC driven league.  Owners are fighting over HCs, not GMs, the concessions are going to the HCs.  Look at Lynch and Shannahan.  Alot more HCs have final say than what fans realize.

Was Tepper's selection of Rhule the best choice, doesn't look like it right now.   With Rhules limited NFL experience was it risky? of course, but the concept of this type of structure isn't as crazy as people think.

Lets say Tepper decides to get rid of Rhule and Hackett is the hottest prospect on the market.  Would you let him have final say over personnel to get him to come here?

Do you want a GM driven organization?  Thats fine, and there are organizations like that, but when it comes to finding a new coach you might limit your choices.

Questions about Fitt, all the terrible FA decisions, do you feel they all fall on Rhule?  Or is it possible that Fitt was behind some of them.  Rhule might have had final say but it would be naive to think Fitt didn't actually come up with at least some of the ideas, wouldn't it?

Part of me agrees with you, maybe Fitt and Morgan can be a good team but I keep going to back to what I said above.

Regardless of structure, the dynamic between coach and GM is pretty much the same everywhere.

The coach sets the system and determines what kind of players he needs to run that system. The GM tries to go out and find players that best fit that profile.

lol

like usual you deflect

so you feel like Fitt had no influence on some of these terrible free agency decisions?

So Rhule did all the work coming up with Sam, Erving, Elflein all by himself?

No, I answered the question.

As the saying goes, I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

No you didn't, but whatever

So Rhule told Fitt to find a LT, but the fact the LT is bad that is on Rhule and Fitt has no responsibility in it at all.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
