Two things could have happened, or a combination of both. #1, he wasn’t the player they thought he was. #2 so many guys surprised at camp that they just couldn’t get rid of certain guys (Chester Rogers, Marcus Johnson and Cameron Batson). And of course when they selected him Julio Jones wasn’t on the roster yet. He's gone so I don't really care to delve into the weeds. Let's just agree that the resources could've been better used. enigma 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You traded up for him. Gave him 1 mini camp. 1 training camp and 3 preseason games and decided he sucked? I mean........ IMO any player that gives you meaningful snaps even if they didn't quite turn into what you expected is free from the bust label. Dez, unfortunately is a bust. His busting won't cripple the team like high profile busts do but the kid just didn't have it apparently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieTitanFan08 Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 There is still a small blind spot on the Titans personnel department regarding football character because it seems based on reporting from the local media Dez Fitzpatrick lacked that internal desire/fire/passion/motivation that usually drives NFL players. It has been reported for weeks that coaches had been frustrated by the lack of intensity Fitzpatrick had been showing in practice. titaninpgh, and Justafan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't Isaiah Wilson. the concern, imo, is the pattern of drafting guys that somehow by the time they put on a Titan uniform, they’re not interested in working hard to make a pro football team. JRob’s supposed criteria, repeated to the point of being a mantra, was that he wanted guys who loved the game and were all football, all the time. I get that players try and fail. But when they don’t try and they were forced picks due to needs, then yeah, JRob should get dinged proportionate to the resources spent.

Mike Herndon mentioned in a podcast a couple of weeks ago something like only 7.8% of fourth round picks get cut within their first year. Its frustrating when Fitzpatrick gets taken at pick 109 (which is nearly back end of day 2) and so many other guys taken below him have flashed for their respected teams. charleytolar, Mythos27, TNTitans, and 2 others 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgo Posted August 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 I'd rather have a situation like with Robinson where he misses on a pick he traded up for and immediately moves on than Howie Roseman who missed on Arcega-Whiteside and releases a better player because he won't accept it.
