Sounds like the same kind of shoe shining and letting off the hook that folks did for Scott Fitterer. Been there done that.

We won't get the lucky breaks we did last year with this years upcoming schedule.

This years draft needs to be a homerun. Don't get cute. Good luck.

Also personally had numerous contentious debates here about Fitterer from people who liked him a lot which largely resulted in a response of some variation of "you're a fan you think you know better?"

We see how that worked out.

People loved Dave Gettleman.

Man even had his own catchphrase.

I loved his approach to cap he'll Hurney left us with. He also called time on a couple guys who were aging out of their contract wants.  That was the good. 

The rest, he was just an ass and nobody wanted to see shorts hiked up that high on him ever. They're shorts, not a bra. Thank God one of the twins didn't fall out for the world to see.

Seriously you guys need to wake up and accept some basic stuff about the 2024 draft. 
We had new GM and new HC that were given a mandate. Maximum emphasis must be placed on propping the disaster that was Bryce Young coming off that rookie season. You know, the one got a mostly new coaching staff brought in. 
 

They were not really looking to trust a rookie C to make those calls and at the same time desperately wanted a pass catching RB to bail his scrawny ass out of trouble, with his little outlet throws. His specialty. 
Brooks was supposed to be ready for camp. 
 

However it worked out, wasn’t what had they in mind. It ended up worst case. Oops. But that’s what they had in mind. 

I get it but it was still the wrong approach. Need a pass catching back, get one in FA. They're out there. Fill the holes that got you to a 2-15 record with starting caliber draft picks. Just about everything that has been done over the past 3 years has been to prop up Bryce and he still barely got to 3k yards. Part of why I'm still not sold on Dan. Just some really questionable at best team building strategies. The draft results this year were better, but overall, at the end of the season, I don't know that the team is really that much better from when he started. We were a 6 win team that got lucky GB couldn't score on 6 trips into the RZ and the Jets were a train wreck. 16 and 13 point offensive outputs aren't going to usually result in wins.

Why does analyzing the motivations and thought process of a failed draft, and coming up with a viewpoint that is different from yours, or anyone’s, have to equal shoe shining? There is a box and it is okay to venture outside of it. Not a shoebox lol. A thinking outside the box

 And the box in this case is a prejudice against Fitterer and his subordinates. For one thing. Also an attitude that it was business as usual for the 2024 draft, and it really wasn’t some damned all hands on deck Chinese fire drill trying to cover Tepper’s butt. Fail at your peril. 
It is hard for me to understand that being an unrealistic scenario. And yeah I want Morgan to succeed but it isn’t a blank check. Let him do something like trade the 2027 1st round pick for a lightweight edge rusher… see what you hear out of me about that.
