Fitt and Tepp

"well liked and works well with others" reads like "fully willing to be a rubber stamp for David Tepper" to me.

Sad to say I'm starting to get that feeling as well.

The way Dianna Russini talked about Frank Reich's situation made it sound like Tepper and Fitterer were on the same page. She also pointed out (rightly) that defense and special teams haven't been a problem, just offense.

So if Tepper feels okay about the roster in those areas, it would indicate he might not have a problem with his GM or front office.

Tepper- "Listen here Scot, matt rhule is the boss, do as he says."

Fitt- "ok...i mean yes'

Tepper- "Fired Matt Rhule, Im the CEO boss now. I demand trading to the #1 and after din-din we are drafting Byce Young"

Fitt- "yes"

I nearly think it's a lock that fitt is just teppers #1 yes man.

Only way you could keep this guy around....any of the 31 teams in the league woulda jettison his azz two years in maybe sooner.. Its like Fitt had aspirations of being a brain surgeon but ended up a stir cook...

To be clear, there's another side to the "works well with others" discussion.

Why did we draft Matt Corral? Reportedly it was because Ben McAdoo wanted him.

Why did we draft DJ Johnson? Word on that was that he was favored by DC Ejiro Evero.

Why did we sign Miles Sanders? Story there was that Deuce Staley and Frank Reich advocated for him.

Why did we draft Jonathan Mingo? Pre-draft we were told that a certain receiver had so impressed the coaching staff that they were certain to draft him if they had the chance.

Why did we draft Bryce Young? Well, that topic's been discussed plenty already.

There's a pattern here, though.

Former Titans GM Floyd Reese hated having coaches involved in scouting because, per his words, coaches had a tendency to fall in love with a particular player over highlights rather than looking at the whole picture.

Obviously, it's the GM's job to get the kind of players his coaches want, but how much he should listen on particular players is a matter of debate.

It's one of those things that's been in the back of my mind for a while now. Tepper is obviously the bigger concern, but these stories also make me wonder.

I am convinced that Scott Fitterer will be here for another year. Tepper is a joke and so wildly incompetent that he would fire the head coach and not one of the worst GMs in recent history. Absolute clown show. I would do anything to make Tepper sell the team.

    • Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.
    • Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
    • You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
