TBH, I wouldn't even tag him. It's a pipe dream anything will work out.

I get that. At least let the new GM try to talk.

Man if Fritterer stays then it's going to be big sad time. He can't let him walk given the history so it would be massively overpaying or an ugly and stupid fight.

Gonna be a huge mistake to let this guy go, talent like that isnt easy to find. 

We're gonna have plenty of top 5 picks in our future....if we could only stop trading them away...we're already in on getting nothing for him cause fitt fugged up....again.

I am getting a sinking feeling we will be saddled with Fitt for one more offseason. 

God only knows how much damage he could do with one last gasp.

I am prepared for that and another dud HC. Tepper has to prove he is going in another dirextion for me to believe it.

Cant wait until he gets DPOY on an elite team with another great edge on the other side. 

Not particularly concerned about that. He is what he is. 

They missed the boat with the trade. Now I dont really care what happens with him.

Scott tries to be too cute and it burns us in the end (no pun intended)

Get a new GM in the building and let him workout a deal with Burns, promise a new leader in the FO will get Burn's reengaged in talks and prolly be able to negotiate a better deal.  Why would I take a good deal when you don't have a legitimate direction you are taking the team.  Players would feel better about getting funky with the details when they know success is within reach.  When you have  a team the players know is directionless it becomes feast or famine and they are going to get the biggest guarantees possible that YOU are going to have to pay and know they could still get dealt if the situation gets dire enough.

    • Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.
    • Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on. 
    • Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
