DJ Johnson, Mingo and Jamie Robinson

I’m not out on Mingo but I agree, fitt needs to ago. The past few years have been beyond egregious in mismanaging assets

 

all the draft capital we’ve traded for either JAGS or players we don’t resign (Darnold, Baker, Gilmore, trade up for Corral, trade of up for DJ Johnson) 

rejecting the burns trade and not including him in the trade to move to 1, but instead trading our 1 WR which we’re now in desperate need of, all to keep a player who’s on the fast track to walking this off season for a wasted year.

Every decision just reeks of trying to get out of a hole he dug himself. He has no clear vision, and seems to care more about “deals” than anything else

Scott Fitterer for being an idiot & agreeing to trade up & draft the kid

I feel like Fitterer is a yes man. He'll agree to recommendations just so he won't be fired. He let Rhule have a heavy influence on the past drafts, Yes man to Tepper with Young pick, yes man to dumb trades. I don't know that Fitt really has a plan on how to manage a team. If he is a yes man, he should listen to the huddle and resign.

DJ johnson seemed like such a stupid pick even at the time. I hate Fitterer

One of the bigger indictments on Fitt: We used 5 picks in 2022 on what has amounted to nothing-no wait and see, the players are already gone.

2022:

2 picks for Corral - released/waived

2 picks for Brandon Smith - released/waived

1 pick on Barnes - released/waived

Looking at 2023, if DJ (2 picks) and Jammie (1) truly shape up to be off the roster shortly (which it sure is trending that way), then that's 8 picks used on almost instant burnt toast.

Half of our capital in two years gone, just like that.  It's even worse some of the main culprits were trade ups.  

The entire scouting dept. let us down with that, Fitt especially.

I’m ready to see him leave but I don’t know why it will help. We have a head on this snake that dictates who will replace him, just be another yes man. 

 

Edit: at the same time, you want a GM who will listen to the coaches about players. So I expect that stuff to happen whoever is here.

    • 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.
