Just speculating... I wouldn't be surprised if Frank or Fitt is fired soon. Very soon.

Yeah it’d have to be someone like that even though the last time we went that route we ended up with gettleman

The problem with consultants has long been that they tend to favor people theyre networked with.

The problem with not having a consultant though is that it leaves us beholden to the "wisdom" of David Tepper 😕

He has actually had an ex-GM routinely helping him for about 2 years now.  He even paid him on contract for a time being.  It's not the name you'd like to hear though.

We just won our first game and don't know yet how this season is going to end.

I'm not really up for making that kind of decision until we see how this plays out.

If we see improvement by the end of the year, are you still going to be on board with firing everybody?

Define "improvement". I mean, ending up with 5 wins would still mean a significant improvement down the stretch but yeah, I'd probably still say that this front office needs to go.

They made moves thinking they had positioned this roster much better off than reality has proven. We're pretty strapped on draft capital in the short term and are going to have to lean heavily on FA to compensate. These guys' two biggest FA signings this off-season were massive busts and have already lost their starting roles not even halfway through the season.

I've read his resumé... Morgan's too. Hell, the profiles written up by various sources when both of them got here will tell you that.

If you look up articles about them you'll see the same thing, especially ones discussing the division of labor between Scott Fitterer and Trent Kirchner in Seattle.

Seems selective to excuse him from a bunch of the shitshow mess that has gone down here.  I mean he is our GM and now being tagged somehow as just a draft guy. 

But let’s say it’s all true.  All the more reason to part with the guy then.  We need a real GM.  Who can do more than just poorly handle the draft primarily.   Because our drafts under Fitt have sucked and he brings little else to the table then.

I'm not looking at win totals, though that would be nice too.

Mainly just interested in how the team looks.

Well, when the brass and telling everyone that will listen how were ready to compete and win the division then you probably end up last in the division I'm left thinking that maybe these people don't know what they're doing.

The best sides hit big in the middle of the draft. I’d move on from Fitt in the off-season but keep Reich for Bryce’s development 

Except any legit GM is going to want to pick his own coach. We have done this staggered changes before and they never work.

And changing systems ruin young QBs I’d rather get a GM that had a track record or part of a system that has had success drafting players that fit Reich’s system.

      Complementary Football, or: How to Lose a Game

      By Evil Hurney · Posted

      My read is they intended to try and get points but that first run and usage of the clock was done to hedge against things going poorly. Basically they shouldn't need all that time to score since they had multiple timeouts. Dirting that second play put us in a no-win situation. Sure you can run on 3rd down but ARI had timeouts so they still likely get the same result.

      Can we all admit it now?

      I never said he had a good game in the Denver game.  As you said we had a good first drive ending in Bryce throwing a slant to XL for a TD.  It was garbage time but the back shoulder throw to Coker for the late TD was a great throw.   Throws like these in bad games are why I say he "can" do it and has the physical tools.  The question is can he do it consistently, continue to improve, grow and become our QB of the future.  Up to this point that was a hard no but with a new head coach and Bryce in his 2nd year it was 100% the right call to play out the year and see if he got better.  He did.   Two games into this year is still more of the up and down quality of play and coaching but there is still plenty of potential and we have 16 more games to decide if it's worth it to continue down this path. I don't know what will happen but I know cutting him or benching him now makes zero sense on any level. I said of those last 10 games we were only blown out in 2 of them.  I'll concede the Denver game was a blow out.  So 3 blowout loses and 7 competitive games, 4 of which we won, all decided by less than a TD.  Sounds like a team growing, improving and getting better.  All I want to do is see where that leads and if those examples of starting NFL level quarterbacking can continue to improve and become more consistent.   Anyone with pride would retire?  Laughable.  Do all of you quit in your daily lives every time things get tough or don't go your way?
