I am not on the Fitt bandwagon at all. The dude looks nervous in all of his interviews like somebody is about to jump out and beat his ass. 
 

He gave up capital for Darnold, Mayfield, and Henderson. Then gives up capital for Gilmore to play half a season. Extends Ian Thomas for god knows why. 
 

I mean you can blame Matt for some of that but at the end of the day he is still the GM and it’s not that hard to prove Matt wrong in a meeting room if you disagree with him.

I highly doubt Matt had him in a chicken wing against the computer making him do what he wanted.

Possible, but they've been a pretty good team during his tenure.

Cowden was formerly part of the Panthers organization and he's had GM interviews before. Guess now they'll get to see what he can do.

Seems like they may come after Morgan

The Titans roster construction strategy would have been good in 2004.

lmfao the same strat that homers here want to choose. Get FA QBs and don't ever draft one bc its too risky. Titans are their role model. Meanwhile they get boat raced in the AFC by teams with Franchise QBs like Bengals and Chiefs.

I'm not for firing Fitterer, but I wouldn't mind adding Robinson to our front office.

From The Athletic (link)

Robinson is the only general manger in franchise history to oversee six consecutive winning seasons.

Tennessee earned playoff berths in four of the past five seasons. The Titans advanced to the 2019 AFC Championship game, compiled consecutive AFC South titles the past two seasons and earned the AFC’s No. 1 seed last season.

Since Robinson took over in 2016, the Titans have the ninth-best overall winning percentage (.606) and fifth-best winning percentage in divisional games (.667).

The team's statement basically indicates they think he's done a good job, just not good enough (i.e. no Super Bowls).

Probably some internal politics and stuff there too. There just about always is.

Vrabel has won that team all those awards, Robinson has been along for the ride.

They drafted Malik Willis, the guy with potentially the most upside in the draft.  They sat him behind a competent veteran who is painfully familiar with maturing as a player in the NFL.  The Titans have never had a losing season under Robinson.

He fired the coach who gave the Titans their first back to back winning seasons since 2007 and hired the guy who took them to the AFC Championship where Mahomes finally ended their season.  Look at the QB's who have knocked them out since 2016:  Brady, Mahomes, Jackson, Burrow.  That's like murderers row of QB's.

I really doubt the AJ Brown trade is the reason the guy got the axe.  It's probably internal politics combined with building your roster around a 1980s power back and a washed up average QB.

No it's probably mostly the A.J. Brown thing, that was a real fug up he's a dynamic player and they aren't paying anyone or will be paying anyone that's worth A.J. Brown, but also their drafts have mostly sucked and their contracts have been terrible even outside of Tannehill. 

Vrabel's probably safe, it's the roster that's gonna get hit and makes sense to bring in a new GM too.

Yeah the Titans are a well coached bunch.  And have a defense getting better but are about to miss Henry's window.  Mike V. is loved around the league and by the org/team.  Can def see them crafting a reworked offense beyond Tannehill for him.  To follow up to where they are this season after being the 1 seed last year, with that roster, is impressive.  But I do feel they made some head scratchers this offseason.

      PFF Grades vs Dolphins

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah I am sure you are right. Every week it seems there is something whacky in those numbers they post. I like my simple eyeball test, been watching over 60;years. I know when someone loses or wins a matchup or performs above or sucks.  When WR and QB aren’t in sync, I can’t know who was suppose to do what all the time and don’t try to say. Defensive coverages blown, I don’t always know that either.. so I am imperfect.  I think PFF is too. No big deal. It’s fun looking at the grades anyway.

      PFF Grades vs Dolphins

      By electro's horse · Posted

      The secret with PFF is they are specifically opaque because they traded in their once good reputation to poo out next day madden grades for monday morning desk warriors who want something to click on. It takes NFL teams about 36 hours to fully grade every play from their own team, and those are the coaches who know what all of the play calls are, who all of the players are, are professionals at their jobs, and have a staff of interns helping them do it.  I know people that do this for PFF. There are some people that are smart and good and know what they're talking about, but they're rare. And even in the case of people that have football experience, they don't know the plays. They have an idea of the plays. This is to say nothing about the idiots who played one year of JV ball and never saw the field and can't get over it. That's what the most of PFF is.  These grades are completely worthless.
