We 2-7 and the only 2 times we've looked mildly competitive have been against 2 of the worst defenses in the NFL. He helped assemble this turd with his buddy Scott. I'll sing his praises when we actually have back to back winning seasons.

I bet for BY to have under 200 yards passing and for the L. Had to admit I was a little worried but still broke even.

No. So we'll claim the moral victories and they still won't matter. Just like every other feel good win when you're season was over before it began.

It's possible Stroud will have had more wins in his first season then bryce will in his entire career

We can't trade BY for anything less than a 1st because we still have to pay the 33rd pick for him. If we trade him for less than what we owe we're going to look like the laughing stock of the NFL. Oh wait...

1) Signed 2 high profile guards to big contracts. Did we need guards? Yes. But there's a reason you draft guards and pay tackles. It's easier to find solid guards in the draft. Now we have the most expensive line in the league and still can't get 100 yards passing before halftime. 2) Traded up to get a RB when we didn't really need one. Chuba is one of the better RBs in the league right now and while it is a contract year, we had a crap ton of holes all over. Brooks was a luxury pick we didn't have the luxury to make. 3)Spending a small fortune to build a supporting cast for BY. Bryce didn't even put the work in himself during the offseason by his own admission. We didn't need to build an offense specifically for BY. We brought in DJ and drafted XL. These guys need a QB with a live arm. That's not BY. Speed kills but not when your QB can't legitimately make an accurate, deep ball strike without putting a ton of air under it and floating it. 4. Not looking for a true center. There were several available and it's been a position of need for years. We could have had our choice but we rolled with Corbitt, who did look good at the spot, but had an injury bug that struck again this year. 5) He didn't bring in any serious competition for Bryce. Now you can say that BY needs time to develop and we needed to show we had faith in him, blah blah blah. But the simple matter of fact is Bryce looked like a PS QB last year, Andy has one foot in the QB grave, and there was never an attempt to actually compete for the job. If he genuinely believed that BY was going to magically make it all come together watching YT and chillin for 4 months to unplug, then there's nothing else that needs to be said. The goal of every GM should be to build a winning team. Players are commodities and loyalty leads you to an early walk out the door. We've tried to build a system to work around the most limited QB in NFL history. 60 years of history should have told him it was never going to work. And benching BY after 2 games is the real truth, he never should have been starting anyway. And either Dan should have known that as the great MLB that he was after watching BY's game tape, or someone else is making the call and Dan is just rubberstamping that decision. Either way, doesn't matter. We're screwed because we've devoted 2 years of resources to build around a player that didn't put in the work in the off season after one of the worst NFL QB seasons ever.

That 50 air yards pass to Tank Dell on broken coverage was something we haven't seen from Bryce. He didn't have to wind up or hop or contort himself just to make it possible. He threw a thing of beauty while scrambling and it was money. In one of his worst games he did something we are still waiting to see.

We didnt have someone in our area put drugs in candy but they did bugs in some homemade candy. Not like I would have let the kids eat something wrapped in seran wrap but it was still a messed up thing to do.

Gonna be hard to keep a good locker room when we are out of the game after the 1st quarter. These guys don't go through what they do to be part of a perennial loser and that's what the Tepper Panthers are.

But it does equal a Panthers GM.

He didn't take out the trash!

You draft guards and sign tackles. We spent a boatload of resources to confirm after 2 games what most on the board already knew. Bryce ain't it. His physical limitations are overwhelming and he cannot read NFL defenses. We didnt even bring in real competition because it the obvious even moreso. I'm not sure what solid job they've done. We're likely going to finish the season 1-16 with the 1st overall pick, the worst defense in NFL history, and could very well end up trading BY away for less than we owe. Morgan was part of the group that signed off on Young and the rest of this debacle. Can't give him a pass for things even the casual fan could see from a mile away.

Tepper himself made it known that he walks through the office making his opinion heard to everyone. That's not something you do if you're not involved in the decision making. Coaches meetings every Monday for updates and input. Even Frank said he's in win now mentality and everything he does reflects that attitude clearly. Do I think he's making every decision? Of course not. Do I think he's involved in the major ones? You bet your ass he is.

Because after watching BY last year, there is no way anyone in their right mind could say he performed at NFL starter level, and we brought in no one to challenge that position. We have the most expensive line in the league that can't solve the fact our QB decided to chill and unplug after having a Pickles level campaign. It's never been about winning. It's been about supporting Cosplay Dave in proving he was right about being able to apply his wall street analytics to NfL football.

No. He's NFL old and he hasn't been much to even mildly offer a chance at winning. Play Plummer, see what he has in live action. Maybe he's OK, maybe not. If not, move on from all of them. I'm sure there's a practice squad QB somewhere with more of a live arm than we have now.

We're retooling, not rebuilding. Sheesh.

Everyone looks like a SB contender after playing us.

Also worth noting he said Dave is constantly churning things. We've seen it at the QB position. He wants an instant return and the only thing we're getting is a bunch of junk bonds.

I guess that's one way to have back to back winning seasons.

I'd take a 3rd bo berry biscuit for BY.

No one else wanted the job. Tepper has not been shy about sticking his nose into daily operations. No one else would put up with that shyt.

AR was my QB pick but only with the right coach, not Reich. But he was also a sit for at least a year to get him to NFL ready. I think a lot of these QBs just arent ready to be the starter and fans and the league have unreal expectations.

A huddler could never replicate what Morgan has done. We've proven over and over again we're smarter than this.

Yes

Realistically what options could he force them to consider? Tepper doesn't know football. That's like me giving advice to a heart surgeon on the best way to operate. You have to know your limitations and by all indicators we've seen, Dave does not.
