How could we not give Fitt another chance?!?

[DMathematics]

That's why terrible and reckless trading and here is the status he shouldn't be able to make any big future moves until we know who the next GM will be for sure

With Rhule having final say on all personnel decisions, I think it’s fair to say Fitt was in a tough spot when it came to trading assets for players Rhule wanted e.g. Darnold, Mayfield and CJ Henderson. It’s been suggested that Carlos Dunlap wanted to come here if not for Rhule’s refusal to guarantee him a starting role.
 

This past offseason appeared to reveal a slight shift in the caliber of players we acquired. I would personally like to see how Fitt and the rest of the FO will function without Rhule’s influence.

If Dan Quinn's name comes out of his mouth...

A “spot” he was conscious of and accepted when he took his current position.

When you accept the known circumstances of the position and accept the big Tepper money that pays you in that position, you’re not allowed to avoid responsibility for the state of the franchise.

Honestly, I don’t get the Fit defenders logic. It’s like y’all think Tepper stole Fitt from an orphanage and forced him in the GM position without his approval.

If he was bidding against himself for Mayfield, I'd say he won.

We got him for peanuts and the Browns ate most of his salary.

[ChuckWag78]

Oh no!  We dont have our 6th and 7th pick!

 

I'm a Fitt fan. Liked most of his moves so far via trades. I like we are "in every deal". I have liked his drafts. Not sure what else you can ask for.  Is he the new whipping boy with rhule gone?

He didn't win.  A 5th rounder for literally the worst qb in the NFL.  There was a reason no other team wanted him.

You talk as if we gave up something significant.

We didn't.

[rippadonn]

Anything was too much. Garbage QB.

[rayzor]

micromanaging rhule made it hard to see what anyone could or would do without his control and influence.

i wouldn't cry if we started over there, either, but i also would be curious to see how he'd be different without rhule around.

With Fitterer in control now, and given his excellent pedigree in college scouting, I would think a choice of one of the top 200 players coming out of college would be something we'd like to have.

I have no issue with the Baker trade even now. We gave up nothing for him.

the Trade for a Matt Corrall is looking kinda steep now but still not terrible overall. I do think we need to slow way down on trading anything 1-4, after round 4 I don’t care.
