Fire Scott Fitterer

On topic I 100% think Scott Fitterer should be fired. He’s made made pretty significant blunders every season.

Right out the gate drafting CB Horn over talent at more important positions of need, inexplicably picking up Sam Darnold’s 5th year option and saddling the team with his like $19m salary in 2022, trading picks for Matt Corral in 2022 only to see him cut in 2023 without seeing the field on the regular season. The trade for Bryce Young will either make or break his tenure though. If Young pans out, all is forgiven most likely. But the jury is obviously still out on that so we’re probably stuck with him until the end of the Frank Reich era.

If the trade for Bryce doesn't work out and he sh$ts the bed, this team will be behind the eight ball for years. He will be gone if that's the case.

Trading for CJ Henderson is Fitts most egregious error.  However, Rhule did say that he loved CJ coming out of college, so I'm not sure who put the wheels in motion for that trade, but obviously Fitts negotiated the package, which was too much for a guy who had bust written all over him.

I did not disagree with trading for Henderson based on what they paid. They got what they thought was a 1st round talent and a 5th round pick in exchange for a 3rd round pick and journeyman TE. I wouldn’t say they broke the bank there and Henderson is on par with the production of a 3rd rounder IMO. I still don’t think it’s a bad trade, Henderson just isn’t very good.

Yes, but Henderson showed he wasn't very good at all.  At least with Darnold the risk/reward was much more in line with what we gave up in the deal.  Had he panned out, that trade package would have looked like a steal. As it turns out, we lost a second rounder and a couple day 3 picks.

Fitt has got to go. The moves he has made have not equated to wins or sustained success. Most of you say you liked the trade for Bryce, not me. In my opinion we gave up way too much for a supposedly smart under sized qb. Now I am seeing comments that are saying we need a wr. Didn't we have a very good not great wr on this team that we traded away to acquire Bryce?

Why would you trade away a position that could greatly help a rookie qb? I forgot we are stacked at that position. We would've been picking in the top 10 again, except for the fact we traded that pick in an effort to win now, because obviously Fitt thought we had the roster to make a run. All we needed was a qb. Now we are in a position where we have to pay the two best guys on our defense but are having a hard time coming to terms with just one. If you knew you didn't want to pay the asking price. Why not trade said player unpopular as it might be and recoup high draft capital in order to use that as ammunition to go out and acquire a position that you want? Brown and Burns are going to cost a premium, it's just the facts. Luvu should be next up for an extension. These three players are crucial to the team's defense.

If these three players are not locked up long term, Fitt has failed as a gm. Letting Hassan go, Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield, trading away DJ Moore. Giving up a massive draft haul to take an undersized qb. Need a true middle linebacker. It's all a mess. Team building is the job of the GM. Scott has failed and is failing miserably.

essentially we gave up CMC, DJ, a future 1st, two 2nds, two 4ths......just to move up a couple draft spots in round 1 and 3.  That's a pretty big gamble.  And the history of giving up a lot isn't a good one.

    • You can't say that with any certainty at all. Bryce played the worst football of any rookie ever. His mechanics and footwork have nothing to do with Frank, DC or anyone else. All those ints and fumbles, yep, those are Bryce too.  Bryce and Stroud are 2 different QBs. Just because Bryce had one complete game in year 3 vs Atlanta doesnt mean he could have led a team to the playoffs his rookie year. 
    • I added a question mark to your question. Also bolded it to look prettier.  
    • I don't understand the tone, I gave you my ranking, that's it.  And yes, I still view Lawrence and Kyler are still ahead, in my opinion, which doesn't really mean much lol.  What's this have to do with being a fan ffs? I will say, they are at the end of the list/the more arguable/debatable guys.  So open to debate but it seems you're going straight to the "you're not a fan" debate.  Which is super annoying. Maybe I'd agree Bryce could be ~19-20 on the list if the argument was laid out instead.  His Atlanta game was better than anything they have done in recent memory, but he's had like 10 other games this season.   He is way more inconsistent in my view, due to a few factors... Shotty footwork - he has a shallow lazy step back from gun that puts an OL in an impossible place.  Goes on his toes wayyy to much more my liking. Poor upper body mechanics.  His upper body remains parallel to the LOS and has to perform that rapid twitch/turn motion to get in stance His shallow drops also create a lack of sight lines so he can't layer throws well He's had poor pocket presence - not last week, but it's been a thing   Pure traits standpoint Arm strength is mediocre Mobility is mediocre - can outrun at times but quicker IDLs can catch him Accuracy is a range due to his inconsistency - can be above average to very poor.  His career so far has been pretty bad with intermediates (which again was not the case against ATL) Ball Security Way too sensitive to fumbling Has exhibited very poor decision making, especially in first halves that put the team behind This all does NOT take away that he had a GREAT performance against ATL.  He was able to extend plays, found guys post-route in stride, the XL throw in Q3 was fantastic, a few of the Coker crossers were beauts.  There's no disputing that.   But yeah, in totality, it hasn't looked good but he absolutely cooked last week. Outside of that, he's only had 5 other 250 yard passing games in his entire career.  He stalls on drives, makes annoying turnovers, doesn't see the right guys.  It's okay to both say that and the fact that he balled tf out last week.  I hope he continues so we get better and maybe can make some noise.  Big test on Monday.
