Fitterer doing God's work

Wisdom

"Quantity has a quality all its own." Attributed by various sources to both Napoleon and Stalin. In WWII, the Allied strategy in Europe depended on putting more mass produced but inferior Sherman tanks in the field, as compared to the superior and more lethal but numerically fewer German Panzers. So, there is some justification for the idea of trading down and accumulating more picks. For the record though, if Sewell, Slater or Pitts are still on the board at 8, I would take them and not trade down.

I find this theory offensive...

Bored or not, thanks for doing the work!

You can say that again.

To be clear, you are suggesting that Darnold, Teddy and Mond/Mills (all three) could be on the final roster? Wow. Wouldn’t that be equivalent to asking current wife, angry ex-wife and au pair/girlfriend/future wife to share a hotel room with the kids, while on vacation at Disney World?

This is a strong opinion lightly held but, I think good OC’s are easier to hire than good QB’s. Tepper’s deep pockets, many offensive weapons, an improving O line (maybe), Rhule/Fitterer, it should make this team an attractive landing spot for a really good OC. So, if Darnold has a really good year and shows he can be our franchise QB but Brady leaves for an HC position elsewhere, meh, this is still a ‘win’ in my opinion. YMMV

Not much conviction in your projection. Let me know when it rises to 75.9%.

Usually Saturdays. Sunday is a recovery day and then back to the office on Monday.

This seems a little unbalanced in our favor. Throw in Teddy and we can feel better for having done the right thing for our old friend Marty.

This!

The infamous butt-fumble. “You usually pay double for that kind of action, Cotton.”

My concern is that with DJ, Robbie, CMC and Arnold, how does the addition of another impact weapon make an ‘impact’ contribution? There are only so many ways to slice the pie on pass plays. We already have three impact players, possibly a fourth in Arnold. Adding another just changes the distribution? Not trying to be argumentative but keeping Darnold upright and opening up running lanes for CMC seems to me to be a bigger contribution. Sewell, Slater, Darrisaw wound be making an ‘impact’ on 100% of the offensive plays, run or pass. Fun to speculate and I appreciate your posts. Keep them coming.

Some reds are redder than others... LT, LG, CB, 3tech DT. I think the strength of this draft allows us to address the first three. 3tech will have to be addressed through FA signing, trade or another team’s final roster cut.

Come for the draft analysis, stay for the... fireplace mantle?

Substitute rigatoni. After you slop some sauce on, who cares what shape your pasta is.

Stop being so rational. It's not a good look here in the Huddle...

Give Douglas an 'A' for transparency and honesty. Refreshing.

Field ain't going to matter when you have bums who can't protect him on passing downs. See how that works?

For a moment, it appeared as if you were departing from the revered Holy Church of the Left Tackle. I now see that your momentary loss of faith was transient. You are absolved of your sins. Go in peace, my son.

Strangely, yes, assuming you meant a QB draft choice with unknown flaws.

[Teddy on intercom system] ”Sam Darnold, pageing Sam Darnold. Please report to Scott Fitterer’s office... and bring your playbook.”

"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?" "Don't stop him, he's on a roll."

I take it you detect a pattern? Unhealthy repetitive behaviors can be an indication for neuroses...
