At what point does Fitterer start taking heat too?

When we get a coach that knows wtf he is doing and still can't win...  which will be quite awhile. 

Fitt can't be held accountable for this poo.  He has tried to accommodate Fhule, as was apparently directed by Tepper, because when he came in, Fhule was already here and was the final word on everything football ops.  I think that's started to shift, but we still can't judge anything until we have an actual professional-level coach in here.

What position group is a strength right now?

No group other than RB is a strength right now. But is that because of Fitts or is that sheer incompetence by Rhule and company. This whole oline competition was a farce that wasted valuable time. Chinn was DROY runner up, and he's been made impotent playing him at FS. Baker? What choice did we have? The CFL  qb Rhule refuses to cut? The list is long of Rhule's dumb ass moves that have led to this losing situation. I wouldn't trust Matt Rhule to pick up a gallon of milk from the grocery store at this point. What has he done to prove he's an even mildly competent head coach and capable of making the most basic of correct decisions?

Especially when he doesn't even have roster control. 

Did he know that Rhule had full roster control when he accepted his current position?

Yes?

And, after accepting his current position and knowingly agreeing to Rhule's control over the roster, is he accepting those sweet, sweet Tepper paychecks?

Yes?

Then he is responsible as well.

Fitterer will start taking heat when Rhule is gone. He's subordinate to Rhule. That's why he doesn't get as much heat.

It's hard to tell where the line is between the GM and the HC in this organization, and that is all on Tepper. 

At least on paper, Rhule makes the personnel decisions.  I think there are a couple we can say were mostly Fitterer because of the way Rhule (mis)handled them once they were on the team.  But lacking that, we have to assume Rhule is the guy in charge of this circus.

Strange how our structure looks like what you would find in a college athletic department.

Hiding behind rhule is not an excuse.   He hasn’t done jack poo since he got here.   I wish someone would post a good move he has made.  Just one.

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

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
