At practically every turn Fitts has made the worst possible decision. That how you end up here we currently are.

As a GM, you will never hit on every move. But you do need to get lucky and hit on a few very important pieces. Fitt has missed on almost 100% of his free agents and draft picks. Luvu is arguably his best signing. Horn is ok. No one knows what Bryce will become. Icky is meh.

That Lamar situation was deeper than we think.

 

I called collusion. The owners came together and said no to Lamar Jackson. They didn't want that Watson contract to become the new norm.

 

I refuse to believe teams like Atlanta/Carolina had no interest when we had trash QB situations at the time. Even the rumors were shady when teams just started coming out of the blue saying no we are not interested.

 

MVP QB's don't just become available and no teams show any interest. This was 100% collusion from the owners.

Sure seemed like some back room orchestrated collusion

It's amazing how people still refuse to accept that the Lamar thing went down the way it did for two reasons.

First is that no team really wanted to give up the draft capital as well as give out the huge contract for someone who wasn't able to finish the previous two seasons.  

Second and more importantly, it was a poorly kept secret in the league that the Ravens were going to match any deal made to Lamar.  Because of that, nobody wanted to waste their time negotiating a difficult contract with Lamar, just for the Ravens to match it and then not get Lamar.

The Ravens were trying to use another team to deal with the negotiations, when nobody wanted to be their sucker, they finally just got a deal done with him.  It was a win-win for them, either someone else did the deal for them, or they couldn't and it then likely lowered his asking price a tad bit because it made the market for him seem worse.

You give up two firsts and you give him a fully guaranteed deal, it was an easy offer but the owners colluded

      Chances against the Cowboys

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Yes. I went to those games instead of selling In 2018, it was hot  as hell and the Panthers had some ‘entertainment on the side of the stadium, like a street fair…I have never seen so many seriously obese people, men and women, in cowboy leggings and shirts   I swear, it was traumatic  I said to my friend with me ‘dear god, Cam. In the name of all that is holy, please win  this home game, if you never win another one, to shut these people up.   I stayed in a hotel sat and Sunday near stadium. Sweet Jesus  obnoxious …of course,when they lose,, there isn’t one sign of cowboys anything   worst fans ever,  they will be in Charlotte in force because even at the escalated price in Charlotte, , it was still cheaper than attending in Jerry ville

      Jags WRs have twice as many drops plus some as the next closest team.

      Bryce Young Is a Symptom, Not the Disease

      By The Lobo · Posted

      Very true about Pennington but I don’t think anyone traded a haul to move up in the draft to get him, that’s what gets me about young. I mean essentially we gave up cmc and moore, our two best offensive players, one of which is arguably one of the best in the league. Gave them up for a guy who hasn’t shown any reason for us to give up the haul to get him. It’s year three and we are seeing the same mistakes he was making year one game one.
