From what I read, it sounds like Fitterer wants to do things "the right way", i.e. draft a quarterback and build around him (with Person noting that a lot of the pieces have already been put in place this offseason).

Rhule and Tepper, on the other hand, seem to be wanting to win now. Rhule especially so because he needs to save his job.

Basically, it sounds like if we draft a quarterback it'll mean Fitterer won the debate. If we sign a free agent or trade for one, it'll be Matt Rhule.

If rumors are accurate, Hurney wanted to trade up to get Herbert. Obviously Rhule was not in agreement and we have Brown. 

It’s a catch-22.  First round Hurney is amazing, but trade-up Hurney is horrific.  Which would prevail?

This offseason has a different feel than last.  I really think Fitt is making most of the calls (with Dan Morgan being in there, too) and hoping it stays that way.  Rhule’s lack of NFL experience was blatantly obvious to everybody except David Tepper, so he may have made some changes to let the big boys who know what they’re doing take charge.  We’ll probably never know

That’s why we got Fitt in there making all the decisions this time around. 

Do we know this?  I really don't know, but Rhule may try to intervene on draft day. 

Jesse's assertion is #fakenews🤦‍♂️

"He and Fitterer both report to Tepper, but Rhule's in charge. Rhule and Fitterer have a good and complementary relationship, and the chemistry and respect they have shown as they get to know each other seems genuine. But yeah, if you want to make a chart, Rhule is the top non-Tepper name on it."

I'm more curious about the article regarding what Fitterer said the owners meeting. 

Anyone read this?

It's actually posted in one of the other threads.

(I don't remember which one)

Makes sense since a rookie QB isn’t going to amass the wins Rhule needs to stay afloat and he might not be here to “develop” one.

      Jaycee LOCKDOWN Horn is due for a breakout year

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
