I have more Faith in Scott Fitterer than Rhule.

Just listened to the Interview he did on WFNZ (Fitterer) yesterday on the Kyle Bailey show.

 

Everything about Fitterer screams business. He even sounded more in touch about how the season went. Even took responsibility. 

 

There are some key points that he touched that shed light on some things. Like the whole 5th year option. Apparently, they had to may 8th to do it and weighed their options. I know, hindsight, I know I know.. Darnold is Ass...But how he explained it made sense AT THE TIME they did it. Basically they wanted to play it safe in CASE Darnold light it up and did what they expected him to do. In theory it makes sense. NO I'm not saying it was smartest thing to do. Just taking a step back, it was what was available to them. Just wish they would have gone a different route.

 

IN the same interview he acknowledged that the O-line needs fixing, there was no mention of Slater, kind of wish there was but the interview was short so I guess it was a time issue, either way he said that will be a focal point moving forward.

 

He was asked about the draft and how they are essentially picking once in the top 100. Was asked about the QB class and he said it was a 'good' class not a 'great' class. This leads me to believe they will not be spending that #6 pick on a QB, but he didn't really take it off the table. He basically said that he wants to make sure they get a player that will change their team at #6 but was open to trading down. Also the thing that concerned me a little was the part when if they could still be in play for the 2nd and 3rd round, basically saying there are ways to still get in those rounds after spending that #6 pick. I don't want this team to mortgage more future draft picks, that's the only thing I don't agree with. Personally I wouldn't mind just taking a player at 6 or seeing if we can get more capital by moving down a couple of spots. But trading away future draft capital to me is not a good recipe for this team right now. 

 

Overall his interview was 1000 times better than Rhule, Fitt is very analytical, precise. He doesn't lay on a huge layer of fecal matter to his words when he speaks like Rhule does. I just hope that internally Tepper grows a pair and tells matt that he is no longer taking care of the personnel side and he will solely focus on the team and coaching side. 

 

The pessimist in me just knows that no matter who Fitt Gets Rhule will not know what to do with him.

  What possible gain was there from giving him that 19M guaranteed. Even if he was Tannehill and signs a 30M/year deal, the first year would have been even less than 19M. So why bet 19M on a scenario that wasn’t likely and had no benefit. Just another cop out.

He's better at making poo like that sound somewhat logical, but he conveniently left out the draft picks he traded away for Darnold. You cannot trade 3 picks away for Darnold and cut him after one 5 win season, or if he plays well be forced into a FA bidding war. I like Fitt better than Rhule but lets not pretend like the Seahawks have done anything remarkable since lucking out on Russel Wilson 9 years ago.

It does not matter when Rhule has the final say over all things football related. 

That was true in the past.  Not clear if that is still true going forward.  Tepper may put Rhule on a shorter leash, allowing Fit and Morgan to do their jobs.  We’ll see soon enough…

@Ivan The Awesomenice thread

I’ve been wondering how we could realistically get back into the 2nd or 3rd without trading down or mortgaging the future (a ton)

If we like a guy that will be more day 1 impact than a 4th, then maybe it’s the 2022 4th packaged with a 2023 3rd. Yeah it just keeps taking away future picks but that’s be a way to mid round 3 top-75 pick that may fall/we have pegged as a 2nd rounder type OL.

I mean, if it’s 2 OLs in the top 70ish and we still have our 2023 R1 & 2 then I think that’s the most I’d mortgage with a potential lame duck coach.

Then factor in 1  better FA lineman signing and that’s 3 brand new Ol additions for a 2023 QB to have back him.

      FLA showed everyone it’s not about superstars. they bullied the best line in the NHL into obscurity. they played hard, were in the right positions, and ran over everything that got in their way.

      That’s really not what you said and when I even expressed doubt as to your intentions with the post you doubled down and remained unclear on whether you were trying to drag Dean Smith for whatever reason. You just got the facts wrong, which if you don’t follow the local college programs like you say then maybe you just were mistaken and thought Smith didn’t win championships or have legit superstars, and that is ok, but you just doubled down when my first post was more corrective than anything. I’m not sure what you expect posting objectively false things like “RBA has a lot of wins with nothing to show for it like Dean Smith” (paraphrasing) on a message board with plenty of UNC fans. I’m not taking it as a personal affront, we can agree to disagree, Dean Smith’s legacy fortunately will not be affected by this conversation. Screw the (Florida) Panthers?

      Bring in the free agents and trades.  Florida is the best team and unless Tulsky makes it happen, it’s more of the same…which isn’t bad…but it’s time to win a goddamn cup.
