I still think the best choice right now is to separate him from the team completely. Otherwise you risk a toxic environment, or at the very least the appearance of one.

But If that's not going to happen, then at the very least you have to move him to a different role that doesn't involve roster decisions.

Maybe he can be Teppers bartender, to avoid alcohol abuse. 🙂

Well the offensive roster is pretty bad, lots of bad trades.  D looks good. He’s teppers yes man, so I bet he stays.  But they better sign our d players whoever we have in there

This was the logic Dianna Russini and others said might lead Tepper to keep Fitterer as GM. His issues were only with the offensive side.

That was before the "Hunger Games" stuff came out.

What good defenders has he drafted outside of Jaycee Horn?
 

Dude is atrocious at drafting every position.

Exactly. His two best value draft picks are BC and Chuba in 3 years. That's truly sad to start but every meaningful starter (who’s played more than half their games) was already there. Shaq, Chinn, Brown, Burns and YGM were all there before Fitterer. He’s filled some OK FAs but he didn’t build poo on D and he’s blown the offense up completely.

Any logic to keep Fitterer is grasping at straws. We are the least talented team in the NFL. We lost a poo ton of talent when Rhule came on board and at least drafted some D talent in 2020, but since then we’ve lost even more talent and done nothing to improve.

If Fitterer stays, I’ll come back to watch when they have a winning record. I’d assume that will be around 2030-2032 but at least Fitterer and two more coaches will be gone. Hopefully, we’ll get back to winning before CMC’s HOF acceptance speech.

Tepper thought Marty was an amazing college scout as well so he might actually think Fitterer is OK.

I’ve already told my son and said it in here that I’m not watching next year if Fitterer isn’t fired. There’s no disputing that he’s the worst GM in the NFL. His drafting and trading record is flat out horrific. 

In complete fairness, if I were Tepper I'd have paid a lot of money to have Hurney picking our first rounders the last three years.

So I was listening to Will Brinson interviewed on FNZ and he said - hope I get this straight not his exact words - that the video guy in Jax- whatever fan video they got of interaction with Lord Tepper and his subjects - that there is audio of Tepper in the owner’s box loudly complaining about what Fitterer had done to the team.

Maybe start about 3:50 into it to get straight to what I am referencing

wouldn't be surprised if Tepper changes Fitterer's position to something like President of Football operations, hires a new GM and states he is "stepping away". This will cause everyone to rejoice but secretly Tepper will just be doing the same old poo through Fitterer his 'yes man'

      In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

      It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.

      CBS Sports brief discussion about questionable Canales decision making

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
