Outside of financial details I don't think there's any decision you can peg solely on Fitterer. He doesn't strike me as that type of GM.

He was spared because it was mostly on Rhule but he definitely shouldn't get a free pass on those years. Empowering him was about giving him the chance to clean up the mess he helped make. If he can't do that he's next on the chopping block.

Finances fall under Samit Suleiman.

Fitterer's experience is primarily draft related, though he was given free reign by Tepper to build the front office as he saw fit. That includes the hires of Dan Morgan, Adrian Wilson, Cole Spencer and others as well as promotions of existing people like Rob Hanrahan and departures like Pat Stewart.

Personnel decisions are, by all accounts, collaborative between front office and coaching.

More from Diana Russini...

I got the sense from her article that if anybody is in danger, it's more likely to be Frank Reich than Scott Fitterer. I get the same sense from this video clip.

At the very least she talks about ownership "having discussions". That's not Tepper talking to himself and I wouldn't bet on it being Tepper talking to Nicole either.

But could it be Tepper talking to the front office?

Yeah, I think that sounds logical.

That’s some next level everybody’s fault but Young’s narrative. Learn to accept nothing less. 

Hell no they will not give up on Young after a single season. And with a year coming up soon where they forgot to trade the 1st rounder, the floor’s the limit. 

OMy sources also confirm that ownership has lost their blind faith that the Super Secret Backfield Limbo-Mesh Bubble-Scream Offense is playing to Young’s strengths, as Reich had promised in the job interview. They want to see more stretching of the backfield.

      And that's totally fair to say, but I think it also shows you guys are conflating what I'm saying with thinking I'm saying something like, "T-Mac will 100% have a better NFL career than Chark had" which is a completely different statement and one I'd agree, you can't really say about any NFL player before they've ever taken a snap. Because what I'm saying, is that T-Mac's actual ability and skills right now, are at a higher level than Chark's ever were, it's a completely different statement that is independent of what his NFL output will be. But even with those other prospects, I'm sure some of them before their NFL career started, still had more ability and physical talent than Chark had, because again, this is so much less about T-Mac and so much more about Chark.  A bad coach, system, QB, injuries, etc, that derail a WR's career no matter how good they may have been and is much more of the reason they were a bust than their own abilities.   Chark was a tall WR with little WR speed, he was a deep ball threat and wasn't even particularly great at it, he was not that good of an actual WR. If the Jags had another above average WR in 2019, then Chark doesn't get his 1k season that I think people are getting too hung up on in thinking he was some great player in this league.

      I've just seen enough highly touted prospects who pretty much everyone was high on end up busting to assume anything.

      Maybe, but a player can also bust for a lot of reasons.  And I'm not about to go look up the stats of all the 1st round WR busts, but I'd be surprised if they had the sustained output and success in college that T-Mac had.  Those early WR busts are usually guys who had one breakout season and then were highly drafted because of physical potential, not already built out ability. I'm not even saying T-Mac is 100% going to have a better career than Chark (although I obviously think he will). I'm just saying that right now, his skill level and ability is better than Chark's ever was, and I don't understand how anyone is arguing against that, not because of T-Mac, but because of who Chark himself was.   If you want to take the argument that you can't say ANY player who hasn't played a down yet can't be considered better than someone who has, then so be it (even though I'd say that's a dumb stance anyways). At his peak ability, Chark was more like a #3 WR than anything else, he was the definition of a league average WR.  If you don't think a Top 10 selected WR with his tape is better than that just because they haven't played in the NFL yet, then you're just stuck on the "he hasn't played a down yet" idea and can't evaluate them as players and abilities.
