If you’re hoping for a GM / Coaching fire in season, this IS the most opportune week

0-6 and heading to a bye is pretty much the perfect window to fire Fitterer / Tool Reich. Otherwise it would more likely be an end of the season black Monday scenario.

 

 There’s no way we head into the bye 0-6 without SOMETHING. Either Reich gives up playcalling, someone gets canned, something. Otherwise at the Texans game you’ll see at attendance of less than 10,000

There has been no sign of hope, just them digging in and looking for a trade to help turn it around. 

I seriously doubt they do jack except make a trade and then have the bot stop by to tell us all about it. Sorry but that is what I see. And if you doubt me just remember that the guy who owns the team was fine with a 5 year turn around and then they started talking 7 years according to JZ. Sorry.

I don't think we do anything until year end and then Scott is gone. What's annoying is we hear all about this meddling by Tepper, but the one thing that everyone can see will help the team (forcing Reich to giveup play calling) is the thing he hasn't stepped in on.

They're not going to appoint a GM mid-season, so there's no real point in firing Fitterer besides to take his hands off the controls (so he can't make any more stupid trades).

Reich I could see having a come to Jesus moment later on in the season and mutually agreeing to part ways.

The season is already lost, firing anyone other than position coaches underperforming will scare away some coaching / GM candidates. If we lose out or win one game, anyone interviewing will completely understand.

Honestly trying to make improvements to win at all at this point will only hurt our 33rd pick in the draft as well.

Frank just got here, so it would take a scandal to get rid of him. Fitt has made plenty of terrible decisions, but his fate is tied to how Young turns out. He has until it's clear Young is a bust, or he'll retire here if Young is a star.

    • You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
    • Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.
    • That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.
