It was dumb to turn it down from the team's perspective, but you have to put yourself in the shoes of Scott Fitterer.  He probably didn't like his chances of surviving long enough to use those picks if he sold off Burns.  The team had to show signs of life or he was going to get fired.  Almost every GM is playing for right now, hence the Rams offer in the first place.

It's why I don't like keeping guys on the "hot seat". If you've put so much pressure on a guy that he feels like he's in a desperate win now scenario to keep his job you need to just go ahead and fire him. You've put him in a situation where he can really damage your team long-term because he knows he has no long-term without completing a hail Mary in the short-term.

I knew it. Dude was all over my profile and pooing everything I posted. I don't get why people make alt accounts and continue the same behavior as if nobody can notice.

 

 

No life would be my guess...? He probably takes the poo emoji very serious in his little alt world.

You do thinks as gm for the betterment of the franchise not simply whats best for your job status.  Fat fitt royally fuged this burns situation up and the overall roster and he paid for it rightfully so with his job.

So Morgan is as brain dead as his last boss...

Some people never learn. Trying to turn that guy into a foundational piece of the roster is a waste of time. But this will be the year he finally proves how amazing he is...

I hope he holds out. That is about the best he can bring to the table at this point. It would be hilarious and just speed up the fall of this build. Win-win. And yeah those idiots are still not ready for a serious rebuild.

      Jabrill Peppers Available

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.

      Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
