Did Scott Fitterer draft any good players?

I still think those first two years fall on rhule, but his 1st year at the wheel was nothing short of terrible results for both draft and FA players. 

20/20 and allll, but I think tepper should have hired a former GM instead of a rookie one. 

No need to keep blaming Rhule for 2022. The 2022 draft was all Fitterer. Rhule was fired early in the season and was forced to change coordinators. We had tons of threads in here from some of our top posters about how Fitterer had taken the off-season reigns. Rhule isn’t going to be in charge of a draft while on the hot seat and this forum posted articles saying that. Fitterer trade ups in 2022/2023 were almost identical and Rhule isn’t sitting on the hot seat with Corral as his guy. I’m sure he asked for Mayfield.

He's been dealing with some life issues and probably doesn't want to continue to be berated about his outspoken support of Scott Fitterer over the years. Now on the one hand I say at some point we have to let him move on from his mistake. On the other hand though many here know how condescending he could get toward anyone that challenged him on the subject. Funny enough on the subject of David Tepper he used to tell me personally I was being paranoid and engaging in conspiracy theories because I felt Tepper was involving himself too much in team personnel matters. Well look where we are now and look what we know now. Mr. Scot has previously and still can bring good content here. But if he wants to move on from his position on Fitterer he needs to just admit even the man who he used to badmouth on a regular basis for being an awful GM (Marty Hurney) is and was significantly better. At least he could hit in the first damn round!

He had great content and was a logical dude but not sure why he was infatuated with Fitt. He was shockingly bad and I don't think he'll land another job in the NFL...Old numbnuts Dave got burned again trying to fast track success with out due diligence...

IMO, most likely not. We will see what we are able to do but I don't see a winning season for a while.

Hopefully the roster would be built up enough where it could be like an Alex Smith/Chiefs situation where it’s time to draft the Bryce replacement because the game manager isn’t taking us past the first round of the playoffs

Horn is elite when healthy and was the right pick. He’s better than Surtain and the injuries couldn’t be predicted. Ickey is really good, one down year in a clusterfug of bad coaching and Mr. No Pocket Presence doesn’t change that. I’m confident he’ll get back on track. Christiansen and Chuba are decent. 

Hard to have pocket presence when your o-line has more holes in it than a strip club at closing time.

Building the way KC built would be music to my ears even without a Pat Mahomes at the end of that tunnel.

    • 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.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
