A thought I had about Scott while taking a sh*t

Why delay firing Fitterer?

I don't want to hand him 6 more Draft picks to waste and ask him to resolve the Burns issue (he either has to hand him an albatross contract or Franchise Tag and trade him this offseason).

Do a proper search for a GM, give him full control over the football decisions and let him do his job.

We have the least talented overall roster in the NFL in my opinion.  No matter how much you try to blame others besides Fitterer, there is no world where a GM who has been here for years shouldn't be replaced first and foremost.

That plus a lack of assets as in no 1st this year and no 2nd the following…

Hear me out... But do we really want to fire Scott?

The whole reason we ended up getting Scott in the first place is because there was already a coach in place, and no one wanted to come here as a GM without having roster control (think cereal without milk). If we fire Scott we're just going to keep on having this cycle of perpetual firing of 

*It's the GM*
*It's the coach that needs to be fired*

I'd rather give Reich and Scott until the ended of Bryce's second year (2024). By then, we'll have a full two seasons to know if Bryce is the guy. If not, fire both of them and then use the 1st rounder you have in 2025, trade JC/ Derrick Brown for Draft capital, and there you go, you can keep rebuilding since 2018. 

TLDR: If we fire Scott only and not Reich, we'll just keep this cycle of firing one at a time. Wait until 2024 to fire both of them and bring in new faces across the board at both coach and GM. 

Lol!! Now u want to trade Derrick Brown!?? That would be the feather on the cap and a Fitterer thing to do!!! That’s why we are constantly filling holes!! No thanks ! Fire his ass!!

No. Fire Fitts and Fire Frank.  Dan Morgan?  Hahahah… that guy says Umm and Uhhh way too much for anyone in a decision making capacity.  Tepper should clean house at this point and start over.   Fitts roster is terrible and Franks scheme might be just as bad if not worse. They all suck.

I would try to shake things up on the staff a bit this offseason. Potentially fire Reich and try to replace him with Deuce, Caldwell, or Evero to see what happens. I would make sure Scott couldn’t gamble away any assets and go into 24 like that.

We will have a 1st in 24 and a ton of cap room, we can sell off players for more picks as well and fire both GM and HC and do a full and total rebuild the right way into 25.

Tough to judge coaches and GM's when they don't even have a combined 50% of say on final decisions.  Nothing that we have done comes from football people. 

You don't trade a top 3 back and a top 15 receiver (with top 5 upside), to get a handful of picks including the overall pick. who Bryce would have out preform an anamoly (Drew Brees was small dude), to make the pick worth it.

In a down draft you take what falls and worse case you get high pick in a draft that has a few franchise players.

There is no way the Analytics have been leading the way, a mediocre dude that got lucky is making decisions that are outside of his comprehension .

    • BPA comes with the caveat of positional value and roster need included. Never let the latter two completely overwhelm the first, however. Our FO seems to lean heavily into "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE POTENTIALZ!!!" as a fourth category and often it seems as the #1 overall pursuit. With as many needs as this roster has, I am not going to get upset over a real roster upgrade at WR versus some reach at EDGE or whatever other extreme needs we have. Overall, I want to see the roster get better. There is far, far, FAR more than one offseason of work left to get this roster into the top 10-12 in the NFL. That should be the goal. 
    • I would say we are more likely to get smoked by Tampa, blast Seattle and then perplexingly lose to Tampa again. 
    • In general, Dave Canales tends to target his TE's the least frequently of any position group(WR/RB/TE) during his three years of running an NFL offense.  However, if you notice this percentage has crept up over time. 2025 is the first year that TE has eclipsed RB in target percentage. Production has also gone up in 2025. This is a percentage of total output in each category. Canales has always used a very TE heavy offense. In fact, on average his offensive formations are 2 or 3 TE sets roughly 80% of all offensive formations. So, the question may be, with this uptick in total TE output, could an elite or top tier TE make a significant impact? I believe there is some evidence this may be the case. Here are a look at TE snaps and Cade Otten specifically. These are the snap percentages for all rostered TE's in every Dave Canales offense. The bolded cell is Cade Otten's whopping 96.46% of total snap counts in the single year he was in the Dave Canales offense in Tampa. This was overwhelmingly his career high. His production was higher with less utilization in 2024, however.    In conclusion, while I don't anticipate ever seeing a top 5 producing/Pro Bowl caliber TE performance in a Dave Canales offense, there does appear to be some evidence that an actual upgrade in our TE room would actually lead to increasing overall offensive efficiency. I think Otten's utilization rate does indicate that the splitting of time between our relatively even TE group would cede significant snaps if a far superior option were available. I believe this is an area we could(and should have this past offseason/draft) made a more concerted effort to get a dynamic TE threat, after the apparent failure that J. Sanders appears to have been.
