Letting Brandon Beene walk set us back 10-15 years.  

Get ready for that 2.0 when evero gets hired as a HC, he takes Morgan or someone from the FO, and whatever team gets them is in the playoffs in 2026. Meanwhile Carolina will still be recycling QBs

This just takes into account the draft. Look at all the BS trades he made... When we hired him, his forte was digging out great talent after round one and deep into the later rounds... allegedly. Who knew they were talking about him digging out the most succulent bits at the buffet....

Oh I know. I just don't have the bandwith tonight to create a whole thread based on his other moves. Obviously CJ Henderson, Miles Sanders, and Ian Thomas's extension lead the list.

I got roasted on here for saying repeatedly that Fitts should follow Rhule out the door. Well, here we are.

I mean as soon as he walked through the door there was just bonehead decision after bonehead decision. Trading for Darnold, fine, but you pick up his $19m 5th year option? What the f*ck. All his trades up in the drafts have been disasters. Have any of his draft day trades worked out?

His best draft pick is probably Icky and that’s not saying a lot after what a terrible game he had today. What is super weird is they went up there last season and didn’t have that problem under Wilks.

Certain people where to busy trying to blame everything on Rhule.  Just because Rhule had “final say” doesn’t mean he was coming up with all the bad ideas.

Having a bad team is the result of many things, but poor drafting and roster management are the catalyst. 

Let's take a look at what he's done so far:

2021:

Jaycee Horn - good but hurt all the time and therefore useless to the team

Terrace Marshall - Bust

Brady Christensen - Serviceable but out for the year 

Tommy Tremble - Bust

Chuba Hubbard - looked ok last year but now can't crack the lineup over Miles fuging Sanders

Daviyon Nixon - Cut

Keith Taylor - Had maybe the worst game I've ever seen from a CB last year against Pittsburgh, cut

Deonte Brown  - Bust/Cut

Shi Smith - Cut

Thomas Fletcher - LOL

Phil Hoskins - who? 

2022

Ikem Ekwonu - looked ok last year, terrible so far this year, not trending in the right direction

Matt Corral - cut/bust

Brandon Smith - cut

Amare Barno - not an impact player, buried somewhere on the depth chart, special teams guy at best

Cade Mays - awful, probably shouldn't be on the team

Kalon Barnes - I don't even know who this is, but apparently he was cut

2023

Bryce Young - incomplete, no way to know if he's any good or not, some troubling signs

Jonathan Mingo - incomplete, seems to be able to get open, has potential

DJ Johnson - a dumb pick even for Fitterer, and that's saying something. Can't even get a jersey

Chandler Zavala - playing only because he has to, spent most of today in Dalton's lap. Probably sucks

Jammie Robinson - see DJ Johnson

 

So out of 22 draft picks for Fitterer, nine have been cut and aren't on the team, at least four others should have been cut and aren't NFL talent (Tremble, Marshall, Mays, Barno), one can't stay healthy, and the rest are incomplete and/or have major question marks. If you want to know why we suck it starts with having a bottom 5 GM who has no clue how to manage a team or evaluate talent. He was the one constant for the recent sucking besides Rhule and Tepper (who we can't do anything about). Now that he has successfully mortgaged our future it's time to move on as soon as possible. 

Yeah. When a grown man doesn’t have a clearly identifiable Adams Apple, but a nut sack where that should be. Be afraid

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
