Correct, he doesn't have to be but he said he could be. And I don't see that as him trying to be a talent evaluator. If half of the staff is saying they want Fields and the other half is saying they want someone else then it's really him him imposing his philosophy that the QB is that important. Most people would agree that Belichick is the best Coach ever but he apparently shouldn't be choosing WRs in the draft. No reason to think we should trust Rhules judgement on a QB over our other talent evaluators, he already signed off on Bridgewater and that wasn't a good decision.

There's a huge difference between seeing "the quarterback position is important" and saying "this quarterback is the guy".

If you say the second, you're being an evaluator.

Dan Rooney made the decision to draft Ben instead of Shawn Andrews. Said he was tired of passing on QB prospects.

Tomlin's ducking the question.

I have literally never seen Mike Tomlin duck a question.  The man is nothing if not brutally honest.

You can't always be brutally honest if you're an NFL head coach or GM.

Rhule has final say.

Does he?

When/where was this confirmed?

Months ago when Fitterer was hired.

Rhule himself acknowledged it, but said he wasn't going to act like a dictator.

Really?

I must have missed that.

So you're confirming that Fitterer reports to Rhule?
