Let's play "I could be a better GM than Scott Fitterer"

Let's play a fun game, which move did you look at and say "I could honestly be a better GM than Scott Fitterer".

Rules of the game:

1.  has to be something other than "not drafting Bryce Young"

2. Only list your top answer

3. It can be any move, free agency or the NFL draft

At least when it comes to the NFL draft, I think it was just common sense not to draft a DJ Johnson in the 3rd round let alone trade up for him.  I think I screamed at the TV when it happened.  Supporting evidence of the bust below:

What's yours?

All of his trades. Even the Gilmore one was ill advised in that situation and then they let him walk.

His trading away players and ending up with less talented players with the draft capital has been an issue.

His free agents this year, Bell looks like the bright spot there. 

His contracts are usually awful. Moore's was solid but lol

Player evaluations are way off across the board. CB depth, Oline depth and holy crap the switch to the new scheme with the same people is looking crazy bad.

I'm sure there is more I just can't think of it after all of that list.

My answer to this is pretty simple...

I couldn't.

Hell, I doubt I could be a better GM than Marty Hurney and most Huddlers probably know how I feel about him.

Even the personnel people who might be bad if their job still have tons more resources, training and experience than I'll ever have.

I get the game (basically all hindsight, mind you) but that's my answer.

Not drafting or trading for “project” players when the philosophy in the building isn’t to develop projects. 
 

So many clear projects only last a year here. Don’t pretend a project player can learn everything in one training camp and turn into a “win now” guy. 
 

We are overly patient with guys like Ian Thomas, and show no patience with the Brandon Smiths and Corral’s. Watch DJ Johnson get cut next off-season.

#1 Trading for Darnold

#2 Picking up his 5th year option before even seeing him play a down for us lol

I place the blame on rhule/snow. I think the quote was " I see lots of stanford in darnold". Rhule was the top boss and if he demends a player, its your job to work out the trade. 

still fitts without rhule mogging him, has not had good results either...

The whole 2021 QB debacle.

Trading for Darnold before the draft which led to us having to trade Teddy for peanuts and pass on Fields when he fell to 9. Then following that up by NOT trading the 9th pick to the Bears when they obviously wanted to move up and take Fields.

Could have kept the BRIDGEwater QB in place, let Fields develop for a year, and not begin the whole train of throwing away draft picks.

    • They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers
    • Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.
    • Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
