He's on the list of great options if Ben Johnson goes to Washington. Between Macdonald, Slowik, Canales, and even Evero, I'm almost more interested in the "consolation prizes" than Johnson now.

All teams do this. Also, after "presumably" everything else is Breer's opinion. Finally, so far we have a great list of names, so I'm not worried about perception.

there are plenty of teams with no talent who compete. players who are motivated can make things happen. it all matters. as a cam fan you've seen a guy who isn't afraid to be pissed after losses. glad you can read a tweet and say oh well he tried once. make the apathetic guys uncomfortable.

maybe eventually bryce will blow his top and demand more of his teammates when he starts to realize their apathy is going to make him into one of the biggest busts in NFL history if he doesn't turn it around. stop being nice bryce!

Duce has been a major disappointment this year. The hype was high coming off hard knocks and bringing some attitude to the offense and team. McCown? Doesn’t feel like we had a QB coach this year.

There’s really nothing to do as a fan but lock into the 3 year rule, otherwise you’ll just complain and ruin your health for something you have no control over. With our first next year being gone, we’re on this ride until at least the 2025 draft anyway. For this season I’m hoping Corbett comes back and improves the o-line. Hoping someone can step up at LG by the end of the season and give Bryce a chance in the pocket. Next, I’m hoping Thomas Brown starts calling plays after the bye or something. Let him help Bryce succeed instead of misguidedly try to protect him or whatever. I’ll trust a guy from a system that took Goff to the Super Bowl over whatever BS Reich is doing right now. Next, I don’t think Sanders is healthy and I’d sit him for Chubba until his groin is right. He is killing our run game. Lastly, I’d be down to trade our 2nd for a WR. Preferably Hollywood Brown. Whatever it is we need to get someone to help Bryce. Like I said, we’re on the ride til 2025. I don’t really care about next years draft. If we do all of those things and Bryce can’t show something, then I let Dalton play and try to avoid giving away the #1 overall pick at all costs. That would tear the team apart. Then I’d make next year a QB competition and if Bryce fails I’m trading him and we take what we can get and just tear it all down. The end

We need a WR1, the FO miscalculated with the recent trades, but they are correct in realizing we need a WR1. Hurts and Tua are different QBs with a top WR, even Burrow hit a new level with Chase. Josh Allen hit new levels each year they added talent for him, culminating with Diggs. It's as simple as that. I think Bryce can get to the same level as those guys with the right WR1, but we have to go get one and at this point that probably means trading Burns. I think most of us would be happy with a high powered offense in exchange for a weaker D in the meantime. Jeudy is not the answer. Hollywood Brown is the most likely to be a "bridge" WR1 until we land a true elite guy if we're looking solely at guys available to trade for in season. I'm uncertain about Tee, because he would command top money and I don't think he tops Bryce out like AJ Brown, Tyreek Hill, or Stefon Diggs would. Reich needs to be removed from play calling. Move Burns for Brown and a 1st or try and trade for Brown now without Burns and move Burns at the deadline for (hopefully) 2 1sts again to get back into this WR draft this year.

Miller can get fuged. The bullshit with the gun did it for me but then he is invisible in the tournament. Can't have that with a team of guys who can't win a play-in game. He's not an alpha and if he's a Paul George? That sucks because George is an empty All-Star. Does nothing for us. Scoot has the mentality this team is severely lacking. It's not even a debate.

I mean... PJ balled out here

I really thought Frank was going to be someone

James Anderson who supposedly didn't like it here because Ron cursed too much

Or that one game Brandon Hogan played against the Texans where he guided the WR out of bounds and made him ineligible to catch the ball. Genius CB!!

If Young is the pick you protect him like the Saints did with Brees, which is with All-Pro Guards and Centers

I truly think Thielen is a must as a vet presence and safety net for the rookie QB. He can still pile up TDs even if he's a bit more limited athletically now. No to OBJ who could easily turn toxic on a young QB. I think we add one of Hollins, Campbell, or Hardman. Perfect WR3s. Then it's rookie time. Ideally we could land a Zay Flowers, but maybe Hyatt or Downs is there. I also like Mims a bit later. Any of those top TEs would be good too. Let Marshall cook in a new and better offense and let Thielen hold it down opposite of him til a young guy takes the spot.

Adam Thielen come on down!

I barely remember who we drafted outside of Icky. And honestly don’t care. LT has been such a need and is such an important position that his success this year has been nearly Cam’s rookie year impact to me. Icky is a piece that lets us build the rest of the offense

These were both great interviews. I love everything I'm hearing about the hiring and collaboration process. Love that Thomas Brown was a guy Frank didn't know but brought him in and ended up hiring him. That's the way to build a great staff. I think Frank and Jim both exude the kind of thoughtful ego-less coaching we want in the building and to grow our future coaches under. I love that we have a plan for now and for the future as guys move on. This is more of a seven year plan than anything Rhule put together. Can't wait to hear from the young coordinators.

With Brown coming in for a second interview and the Bucs hiring someone else after their meeting, I think it’s obvious he’s signing here tomorrow, which I prefer anyway

The only way a running QB should be compared to Cam is if they can match his size. Anything less can't be the same kind of runner. The other running QBs in the league are already not lasting a whole season. He's the only one who could withstand the running for a long period of time.

Interviewing coordinators isn’t the same as hiring them. There’s nothing wrong with a team doing legwork to help a coach with options beyond their own network. It expands options and if there’s overlap with guys the coach knows/likes that’s a great sign to be on the same page. Lots of teams are doing this now and it makes sense to try and avoid people like Phil Snow or lesser coaches who have just been friends with the head coach forever. Think of Richard rogers with Ron. Being proactive isn’t idiotic.

No it’s not?

These kinds of events are rarely that good. It’s a formality and the truth will come out in the players we put on the roster and the success we have on the field. My take away is when it comes to football, he has a plan and has the NFL experience to back it up. We’re in a great position to get a great young QB in here with a lot of talent around them. They need to execute on a QB successfully and roll them out properly. Barring injuries and the unexpected this roster is built to compete this season.

Tepper vetting candidates for coordinator positions is just the trauma of Phil Snow and Matt Rhule. I don't blame him. Plus, there was a great article in the Athletic about Daboll and his staff and how he didn't necessarily know them all before, but the Giants had a list and recommended people to him. This looks more like what Tepper and crew have done this time. Reich seems in a position to be able to choose but why wouldn't he want help with legwork? If we could have landed Fangio and keep Tabor and Campen, I see that as a win for the owner vetted coaches. Let Reich pick his OC and offensive staff. Without Fangio I don't know who to go with though at DC

It depends on how he ends the year, but so far I like him as the vet on the roster with Corral and a rookie.

I agree, I really think if Wilks can present Tepper with a great OC and maintaining the rest of the big name coaches here he has a great shot
