From what I read, it sounds like Fitterer wants to do things "the right way", i.e. draft a quarterback and build around him (with Person noting that a lot of the pieces have already been put in place this offseason).

Rhule and Tepper, on the other hand, seem to be wanting to win now. Rhule especially so because he needs to save his job.

Basically, it sounds like if we draft a quarterback it'll mean Fitterer won the debate. If we sign a free agent or trade for one, it'll be Matt Rhule.

If rumors are accurate, Hurney wanted to trade up to get Herbert. Obviously Rhule was not in agreement and we have Brown. 

It’s a catch-22.  First round Hurney is amazing, but trade-up Hurney is horrific.  Which would prevail?

This offseason has a different feel than last.  I really think Fitt is making most of the calls (with Dan Morgan being in there, too) and hoping it stays that way.  Rhule’s lack of NFL experience was blatantly obvious to everybody except David Tepper, so he may have made some changes to let the big boys who know what they’re doing take charge.  We’ll probably never know

That’s why we got Fitt in there making all the decisions this time around. 

Do we know this?  I really don't know, but Rhule may try to intervene on draft day. 

Jesse's assertion is #fakenews🤦‍♂️

-------

"He and Fitterer both report to Tepper, but Rhule's in charge. Rhule and Fitterer have a good and complementary relationship, and the chemistry and respect they have shown as they get to know each other seems genuine. But yeah, if you want to make a chart, Rhule is the top non-Tepper name on it."

I'm more curious about the article regarding what Fitterer said the owners meeting. 

Anyone read this?

It's actually posted in one of the other threads.

(I don't remember which one)

Makes sense since a rookie QB isn’t going to amass the wins Rhule needs to stay afloat and he might not be here to “develop” one.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By strato · Posted

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
