What has Scott Fitterer done right?

We’ll see. The one in the last game was a back breaker no doubt. 

Yeah, I feel like that fumble took points off the board for us.

IIRC it was a first down fumble (after a PI called on a ball to TMJ) and we were across midfield.

It's one thing for a rookie QB to throw INTs, but a veteran RB who just so happens to be your gold star FA acquisition to help said rookie QB should not turn the ball over in crunch time.

I’m still undecided on Herbert. 

I’ve heard Rhule use Herbert going one pick before theirs as an excuse before even though Detroit was begging someone to trade up 

Herbert’s numbers always look pretty Damn good but they’re not winning. He had a chance at the end of the 4th yesterday to score a TD but had to settle for a FG. Then in OT he quick snapped his own team and had to punt the ball away. 

I don't know that Rhule would have genuinely been on board with taking Herbert.

He never really wanted to draft and develop a rookie. His "plan" for Corral bbore that out.

I said at the time that whoever made the decision to bring in Darnold should be fired immediately. Who made these QB decisions? Rhule? Fitt?

Rhule. That's documented in multiple reports.

The veteran QB decisions were all made by Rhule. Fitterer badly wanted to draft and develop a rookie but didn't have final say.

guys, a worthwhile GM isn’t going to take a job being a yes man to a Baylor college coach. 

This has always been a dumb narrative.

Multiple strong candidates came in and interviewed (total of 14 if I remember). More than one has since become a GM somewhere else.

The only guys who pulled out of the search were Adam Peters (got a huge raise and new title) and Ed Dodds (insisted on full control for himself).

Tepper doesn't make those kinds of decisions.

Even he himself has said he's not qualified to be a scout or a personnel guy.

Tepper himself has said those are the type decisions he will be involved in as the owner.  He isn't going to get involved in who the backup nickel corner is but will the franchise QB. 

and reports/rumors was their was a disagreement about QB.  Staff liked Stroud (who was also discussed to fit the Reich mold the most).  Tepper liked Young.

yea I don’t really care who interviewed, the yes man got the job and took the job for a reason.

do you consider Fitt to be a strong candidate? I mean for us of course since no one else interviewed him that I know of.

I agree. Had Herbert been there I still think we end up with Brown

It was just a very convenient excuse for Rhule to use

If course you don't 😆

And yes, 20 years of experience with a successful team is a good resumé, not to mention he'd had several interviews prior to that.

Yeah, those rumors were just that. Reports since then have shown otherwise.

Of course I know you won't believe those reports if they don't support what you think happened, so...

If Tepper had final say, we would have been watching Justin Fields out there in 2021. It was even shown in the behind the scenes productions.

Can't be true 😲

Some people so desperately want to be right about wanting him fired that they'll refuse to believe any report that gives him credit for something good.

I'd love for him to prove me wrong I'm just not seeing any evidence for it right now and I'm not going to try to sugarcoat everything. I mean my god man, you still defend everything Gettleman did simply because he's not Marty Hurney and now you're doing it again with Fitts. You gotta get over this Hurney derangement.

I definitely don't on't defend everything Gettleman did (hated the Vernon Butler pick, for example) but I do maintain he was still the best GM we've had, undeniably the most successful. A lot of people emotionally hated him for the Smith thing, which leads to stupid takes like "Marty Hurney was better".

Neither am I sugarcoating anything Fitterer has done, but I understand it's deeper and more nuanced than a lot of people are willing to admit, especially given Matt Rhule's arrangement.

I mean hell, one of your own fellow mods has tried to argue that Rhule didn't really have final say despite that being well documented. That's what I call "derangement" 😆

(or dumbassery, If I'm being honest)

Bottom Line: Emotional takes are way more common here than logical ones, and I kinda doubt someone in your position would deny that.

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
