Breaking, Ian Rapoport: Fitterer Fired

And just like that no one in house has to prop up the Bryce trade and pick anymore...

Also a tough thing for Bryce. The guy who originally pounded the table for him and was his biggest advocate is now gone. 

An even bigger hurdle to climb appears as not many QBs handpicked by a former, fired regime tend to work out for the next one.

Why the fug did they keep him this long? They could already have hired a new GM and be ready for the HC search.

Even when Tepper does something right he still finds the wrong way to do it. Whatever, take what you can get I guess.

It gives me some hope that as bad as he’s been as an owner, Tepper is still trying to make moves needed to win. The Jets are keeping Joe Douglas who has as bad a record as Fitterer for another season. If everyone here was correct and Fitterer was just a plant to feed Tepper’s ego and let him be the actual GM then he wouldn’t have made this move.

Best of luck to him, but honestly I'm glad we're moving on. These three years with him have been soul-crushingly bad for this franchise.

Maybe we will get lucky and find a new wunderkind out there.

What we have in house in management and evaluation has proven to be terrible. The whole thing needs to be jettisoned, the ground burned, soil turned and new seed planted.

It's Tepper so I will reserve any hope until he gives me legitimate reasons for hope. Trying to make moves was never one of Tepper's faults, making good moves and having good management are. We will see. Anyway it drops not having Fitterer as GM at least opens the door to improvement.

Want to know what grinds my gears?  They always show a photo of a GM wearing a blazer with no tie and Ray Ban sunglasses.  Why is that? 
Some of you will say, "He missed the point of this thread."

"Did I though?"

"Yes.  I seem to have strayed."

It's not so much that they don't work out for the next guy as it is that poor play caused the original guy to be fired.  That being said, given that Bryce is one year in and a first round pick, he will almost definitely have a shot to make it.

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
