Baker Could Be our “Brees”

I’m not sold on Fitt. We’ve made so many bad decisions. Our list of mistakes is way bigger than successes and unless you want to say everything bad = Rhule and everything good = Fitt overriding Rhule.

Well remember Rhule is the real GM. We won't know what kind of GM Fitterer is without any reigns on him until he is out from under Rhule.

I do think the trade happy "in on every deal" thing is Fitterer. Which, admittedly has been a mixed bag.

I believe Fitterer is a legit GM. He, Dan Morgan and the rest of the FO is firming a good nucleus for the future. The jury is still out on Rhule. I’m hoping this past offseason of coaching changes and FA acquisitions are indications of an upward trend on the field.

The jury is not out on Rhule.

I hope we have success with him for the foreseeable future but it’s just so hard to accept that it means Rhule stays in the picture. He’s just so out of his depth and it will be true even if we do well. Coach & QB means everything. I’d love for this version of the team to surprise. The NFC is wide open if Stafford’s injuries linger and TB can’t sustain.

I don’t think Rhule should be blamed for everything. The 3rd round QB instead of looking to 2023 is straight out of Seattle’s playbook. The not spending draft resources on OL until forced to is straight out of Seattle’s playbook. The strong secondary/use resources is straight out of Seattle’s playbook. The Rhule is the mastermind is an easy excuse IMHO to make fans f think we have 1 problem to solve and then healthy Cam will magically reappear and we’ll win back to back SBs for our first back to back winning seasons.

I don't consider it an excuse it's more of a lack of information and also just a hierarchy of blame. Rhule is at the top so he should get the bulk of the blame. We can speculate on what percentage of what move is assigned to who but the reality is that we don't know.

What I do know is that Rhule is leading this organization after Tepper, so the bulk of the overall blame is rightfully his.

If Cam Newton didn't want to come back to this "situation" when the door was publicly open for him to do so shouldn't that say something? He wouldn't even do it again for the money. Why? Ever asked yourself why? Maybe you already know why and you choose to wear the blue sunglasses and ignore it.

Maybe this "situation" isn't good for Baker either. Ever thought of that? The "situation" was terrible for Teddy/Sam/Cam/Corral and the situation hasn't changed, it's still doing damage.

Needless to say, until the "situation" isn't in charge I can't see any changes happen physically or energetically.

The "situations" plan is already crumbling piece by piece because of the weak foundation upon which it stands.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
