I mean, that is no doubt the hope.  No way to know for sure, I just find it doubtful Morgan disagreed with all the bad moves.  Got to think he was like minded to some extent.    

either he didn't like them or he realized that wasn't exactly the right way to do it (because it got his old boss fired) and now he goes with what he knows....who a real football player is and not looking at what they could be if given the right situation or whatever.

I mean he is on video agreeing with 2 of our poo draft picks (Johnson and robinson) and you have to think he agreed with the trade and selection of young since he ultimately got the job.  Tepper isnt going to keep him onboard if he though young was the wrong choice

it also been well reporter Tepper has weeded out the types that ran against the grain.  So, the argument is either Morgan agreed on a lot ......or he kept his mouth shut.  Neither option would be overly flattering.

All we can do at this point is hope and wait and see.  And I have always said having optimism and hope are not really good strategies in building teams.  I hope we crush this draft but I dont even know what that would look like at this point

see, I don't agree there.  There isn't much of an argument for Matt Rhule being all powerful and getting de facto GM his last season either.   He was a dead man walking in reality.  That's why he was fired a couple weeks into the season and even during that offseason had been intentionally put on the back burner. 

Matt Rhule had a line buried in a contract and people IMO ran way too far with it.   Some of the bad moves during the Rhule era where Matt Rhule influenced bad moves.  Some of the bad moves were just Fitt and company being just as bad at it.   I'm not down w/ using Matt Rhule as the catch all fall guy for where we are today.  It was also the front office.  Fitterer and his team.  

Ok the 22 draft had Icky ( up and down but the Huddle seemed to love the pick ), Corral (McAdoo wanted). Honestly the problem is we were missing another high pick because of that Darnold trade. We need to be acquiring picks not sending them off right now. I’m not sure who that falls under but I’m betting Fitt.

all guess work. 

my concern remains the common theme.  The Seattle mindset and focus.  I think our wannabe Seattle blueprint front office folks have botched this.  Sadly, that's going to include Morgan.  Morgan is a real football player.  But Morgan, the front office guy and build a team guy, was largely molded in Seattle.   

from day 1, I think our first big move and our last big move.....was the Seattle dream clouding judgement.  Jaycee Horn on a team that had nothing and needed to rebuild....and the farm for Bryce Young.

Fitt had a first round grade on him and MC was his #1 rated qb that draft.   And if we are in the business of letting journeyman shitty assistant coaches making trades/picks then we are way more screwed then even I previously thought.   Hopefully morgan instills a process for scouting and actual drafting that looks like a modern nfl team and not a fuging fantasy football draft on a 10 beer saturday night

Mr. In on Every Deal. 

the rest of the NFL is going to miss Fitterer

Morgan also went to Seattle with Beane who turned their franchise around.  They didn't really follow the Seattle blueprint (huge raw QB who they molded and trading for a top WR to help him grow, never really got a good running game with their RBs). 

People like to compare Young to Wilson because they are both short, but honestly Seattle got lucky with Wilson in round 3, they had traded for Flynn for that to be their guy.  Young and Russ also have two pretty different playing styles.  Canales talking about the offense he wants to run seemed similar to the one he just ran in Tampa.  He was just speaking basics IMO.  Yeah PA, running game, and bootlegs helps take pressure of the QB especially with a bad OL.

Fitt was bad.  No one is arguing this.  We are trying to see if their are signs of Morgan insisting on these picks.

No way of knowing, but if they general style of Fitts regime was that truly of a "consensus builder" then you have to think he right hand man agreed to the bulk if not all of the moves.

You think he had everyone agreeing? I’m not sure that is possible…

      Yeah, honestly being a long-term backup is at least as much about being a good lockerroom presence and accepting your role as a supporting piece and not being a greasy wheel as much as it does about ability. Backup QB requires a completely different mindset than the starter and some guys just can't make that switch. It doesn't make them bad guys or locker room cancers or anything like that, it just makes them not what you're looking for in a long-term backup. You bring in that type of guy to compete. You don't bring in that type of guy if you're not looking for competition.

      We have some good pieces.  Enough to be competitive week to week.  Coaching seems to be improving but they’ve made it much harder on themselves than needed.  There are very good reasons to be optimistic about the future. However, I don’t trust them yet.  Wins are odd looking and mostly ugly.  Our opponents have to have a bad day for us to hang with them.  A lot of that is because we still haven’t figured out the most important position and will continue until it’s solved. I think Morgan has done a nice job in both the draft and FA so far.  He’s getting better each day he’s in that position. As far as the players listed, I’m pretty much in agreement.  XL and Bryce are not performing the way they should at this point.  I will say XL could see more success in a vertical passing attack to better utilize his speed. And as always, Fug Tepper.
