He seemed very irritated about this because he brought it up multiple times but kept saying that’s not a reason you let a coach go. Then proceeded to talk about it again. Sounds like it struck a nerve of his

I watched it too, I didn’t get the impression Fitterer is on the hotseat. He seemed to be indirectly blaming the personnel problems (probably mainly the QBs) on Rhule. And the irritated tone at the end came from Fowler asking if he just rolled out of bed that morning and decided on a whim to fire Rhule [“on a whim” is my addition]. Definitely made it clear that he is familiar with Fowler’s work and doesn’t appreciate either his past words or the implication from the question.

One thing I want to mention, which I haven't seen mentioned here yet, though I haven't read through all the threads yet, Ed Foley was also fired, who was also another of Rhule's guys.

Yeah, there was a thread but it wasn't clearly stated in the title.  But yeah, it seems like Wilks was just sitting back biding his time and watching these idiots falling over themselves pretending to be coaches.  I know he couldn't wait for the opportunity.

I dont think player wise, the team is that far away.  They have been forced into a college vanilla playbook and never bought into it because it was dumb.  The same players playing an NFL scheme will play better because their skill sets will match up better and will be put into a position to make plays.  Also, Mayfield, doesnt fit Mcadoo at all.  Mayfield cant do the dink and dunk offense because hes short thus the batted balls.  Hes a gunslinger, he has better success when he has time to throw the ball down field.

Why not give Nick Foles a chance? He’s got at least 12” on Baker.

The more I reflect on this thread and his presser, I feel excited about Wilks' opportunity and what he can do with this roster under his leadership, but man, I feel really hopeless about Tepper.  The overall tone of the presser was angry and somber, and he transposed a ton of hopelessness himself.  It was pretty disconcerting.  When you take offense to answering for your failures instead of owning all of them (not some of them) and offering possible solutions, that doesn't make me feel very encouraged about your leadership.  Much of his answers for solutions were generic, throwaway, very disassociated statements...

Yeah why was he even bringing up concerts and a soccer team as "wins" or whatever? He's more concerned about constantly profiting off the stadium than anything

Well Tepper is a billionaire, most people he deals with probably bend over backwards to kiss his ass. This presser is probably the reason he put off firing Rhule for so long and hoping for something to magically click. 

He finally had to eat crow.

    • I complete disagree. Who is available is extremely relevant. If you have a couple of players you would be happy with and you can still get them if you trade back, you should do that in a heartbeat. Being afraid that people will lowball you next year is an odd stance. Then you just say no next year, problem solved. In this particular draft you can get a very good player at 46. But to each their own.
    • I don't think so.  Watson really screwed them up.  I see something happening, but do not know what.  Cousins could be had in a trade--but they liked Flacco when he played there.  If it were me, I would not spend the #2 pick on Sanders.  I would go after a tier 2 qb because I think Will Howard is going to start in the NFL soon, and I think Ewers was rated very high at the beginning of the year--he knows adversity and he beat out a Manning while taking Texas to 2 playoff appearances.  I am not good at picking QBs, but I think Howard's run pass option and his accuracy is going to help someone.  Stay in Ohio and play for the Browns behind Flacco--
    • After Cam at #1, there are three or four elite players and there could be a trade--If I am the Giants and I am needed a winning season badly and I have several needs, I might trade out and pick up mid first and an extra second rounder, including a QB--while nobody is going to move up to #3 for Sanders, they might for Carter or Hunter.  If the Giants then move back, Sanders could still be in play.  That could be the trade in the top 3.  New England wants Campbell and I get that; Jacksonville at #5 could move back if someone wants Graham or Jeanty.  But barring some trade, the top 4 are probably locked in. So it could be 2 hours into the draft before we get any surprises. Nice list, by the way--you nailed it.
