Scott Fitterer.... let's grade his drafts and FA signings

I'm not sure if the jury is still out on Fitterer or they have not even started deliberating yet. 

Our owner made such a mess of the division of responsibilities about who did what and to what extent is mostly unknown.  We know that the guy who had the personnel control in his contract was shown the door.  We also know he was a control freak who wanted to control everything down to the toilet paper used in the bathrooms.  We suspect that sometime after the end of the 2021 season how much control he had was altered by the guy writing the checks, but we don't know to what extent.

It was an NFL version of the MASH episode where they are dealing with a supply officer who is a lieutenant, getting nowhere, asking him who his boss is and he replies "my sergeant."

The best anybody can realistically give Fitterer right now is an incomplete.  The others involved in this comedy are not nearly as fortunate.

Reasonable as far as we go...

That said, during his interview with Will Kunkel, Fitterer basically stated that he and Dan Morgan were the lead in the head coaching search.

That would tell me that at least as far as Tepper goes, there's not any need for "deliberation".

(and that's consistent with what we've heard from other sources)

That’s fair. Start the scoreboard after Rhule. 
 

Traded best offensive player for the equivalent of a mid 2nd rounder. 
 

Turned down 2 1sts, and 37 this year for the privilege of paying a player 25M+ a year. 
 

  Let’s see how these work out.

Walking away from the Rams offer for Burns really, well, burns.  I reluctantly declined on the two firsts since they were 2024 and 2025, but when they added their second this year, which most of us knew would be in the top 10 picks of the second round, well, you run to the bank with that deal.

And the logic is much the same as it was for trading CMC.  Not sure how we didn't either pull the trigger on both or walk away from both.  We were either selling players not on their rookie contracts or we weren't.

    • One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.  
    • “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃 
    • Bix has more tds through his first 11 games than bryce has his entire career....no comparison at all he made amazing throws during his first games his decision making just keeps getting better.  Young does not have the physical ability ro make the rhrows bo makes
