The idea was never that Fitterer would stay as a GM co-GM. It was that he'd take an alternate position away from the personnel duties.

The fact that you couldn't comprehend that is where the issues started.

reading back through casillas post and if that dude has sources they are way off.  Please link his post about fitt because here is one and its lol funny.  I suspect the dude went mia due to his outlandish "insight"

Borgonzi interviewed? I don't remember seeing that.

I know Tilis did but I thought it was only once.

I apologize we did not Interview Borgonzi, I misread the article and it mentions Borgonzi but I read it as Borgonzi AND Tilis

it was Poles and Tilis…not Borgonzi and Tilis when I was researching back in November

Yeeeeah...there's not actually anything in that post (dated back in September) that supports your argument.

Not surprising, though... 😬

And the conversation with Casillas on this topic didn't happen on the Huddle.

Apparently, Fitterer's name makes you emotional 😄

it's just word play.  I call it what you don't want it called.  I call it how I think a new GM coming in would view things.  It's already not attractive. 

But if Fitterer stays and keeps the bulk of his GM duties.....what does that make him in reality? Especially for all those already employed here?  You then alluded to the 49ers assistant GM as the perfect comparison for the plan (which it's a bad comparison as I showed).

It’ll be interesting to see what the rumored HC/GM pairing will be for this cycle. The easy bet usually seems to be pairing the HC candidates w/a personnel guy from the team they’re coming from but some of these future HC and GM guys build relationships outside of their orgs so that’ll be fun to monitor once the hiring cycle gets going.

I don’t see or hear that as rumblings that there is conflict between the two like your posts attempts to make it sound. Thomas Brown willbe calling plays if the offense doesn’t figure it out by week 4. 
 

oof

"Word play", eh?

Funny thing...

Of course, the next part of your MO is to accuse people of things what you actually do, which I'm guessing probably comes next.

Guess I called it 😄

After two games?

At the time, there wasn't any indication of such a thing. It didn't manifest till later.

And by that time, Casillas had moved on to a different forum (which is where the current discussions are happening).

That's Johnson / Agnew, a combination which becomes more intriguing with the notation that Agnew has connections with Ejiro Evero and Thomas Brown.

Hortiz / McDonald would be another one, but that would require Tepper hiring a defensive coach, something not many people see happening.

Out of the list in the OP I would be most excited about Hortiz.  Don't know anything about him, but the Baltimore Ravens are one of the better run front offices in the league since they moved from Cleveland.  Hard no on the Bears.  Peters from the 49ers would probably be a good bet but it doesn't sound like he's leaving.

    • Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist
    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
