Scott Fitterer.... let's grade his drafts and FA signings

I'm not sure if the jury is still out on Fitterer or they have not even started deliberating yet. 

Our owner made such a mess of the division of responsibilities about who did what and to what extent is mostly unknown.  We know that the guy who had the personnel control in his contract was shown the door.  We also know he was a control freak who wanted to control everything down to the toilet paper used in the bathrooms.  We suspect that sometime after the end of the 2021 season how much control he had was altered by the guy writing the checks, but we don't know to what extent.

It was an NFL version of the MASH episode where they are dealing with a supply officer who is a lieutenant, getting nowhere, asking him who his boss is and he replies "my sergeant."

The best anybody can realistically give Fitterer right now is an incomplete.  The others involved in this comedy are not nearly as fortunate.

Reasonable as far as we go...

That said, during his interview with Will Kunkel, Fitterer basically stated that he and Dan Morgan were the lead in the head coaching search.

That would tell me that at least as far as Tepper goes, there's not any need for "deliberation".

(and that's consistent with what we've heard from other sources)

That’s fair. Start the scoreboard after Rhule. 
 

Traded best offensive player for the equivalent of a mid 2nd rounder. 
 

Turned down 2 1sts, and 37 this year for the privilege of paying a player 25M+ a year. 
 

  Let’s see how these work out.

Walking away from the Rams offer for Burns really, well, burns.  I reluctantly declined on the two firsts since they were 2024 and 2025, but when they added their second this year, which most of us knew would be in the top 10 picks of the second round, well, you run to the bank with that deal.

And the logic is much the same as it was for trading CMC.  Not sure how we didn't either pull the trigger on both or walk away from both.  We were either selling players not on their rookie contracts or we weren't.

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
