It seems like a common sense statement, but a recent interview by Scott Fitterer and the tone in which he talks about the best players getting to play regardless of any other factors such as pay or seniority is truly hopeful.

It also signals that Scott has been anointed to have full control of the roster in all but the title as Rhule may stil have "final say", but given his failure in this area and being on the hot seat, I think he's deferring to Scott  more than anyone realizes.

Hopefully Scott and the coordinators force the decision on the final roster. Not sure how the game day inactive lists are gonna go, but Rhule might be at the point where he'll delegate everything except his job/salary to anyone in hopes of fielding a good team. Rhule could still end up being the obvious weak link in the whole situation but at least we're set up for interim HC's now. Tepper played nice in his pressers but we're obviously set up for cutting Rhule if he remains inadequate

Matt Rhule said this many times…this is pro football the best play regardless of contract or tenure with the team

What if you have non-ideal arm length?

To be fair, even in GM centric operations, head coaches still control the depth chart.

I do but in to the idea that Fitterer had increased influence over the offseason personnel process this year. Have a hard time imagining him making playing time decisions though.

He surely appreciates the tenure of former college players and coaches regardless of their ability to perform at an NFL level. He doesn't care about our team, he just lucked out on a job and is gonna wear it out until he gets fired

Not sure what you're saying.

Fitt said the best player will play, so Fitt has more power? 
Sooo Fitt decides who plays now?
How does this translate to who controls the roster?

It was collaborative last year.  Its collaborative this year.   
Rhule still has final say on the roster, and his contract hasn't changed.  I don't see Fitt deciding who will play.

If you are in a situation where a FO is literally forcing players on a coach, it's time for someone to go.

Last 2 years reeked of some Chip Kelly BS. Didn't take the Eagles 7 years to win the super bowl once they got rid of him and his total control of the roster demand

He's just repeating what the coach and team's philosophy is. What's the issue here?

Remember the story that the Panthers were considered the least "merit-based" team in the league when it came to playing time? Likewise the saying that we had guys starting on our roster who wouldn't even make a team elsewhere?

That's why something like this gets said.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
