I think this is partially true. We also finished 7-3 in one score games. Don't be surprised to see a bit of a dip next season.

Tanking is so extremely rarely an on field phenomenon. I will never understand why fans think that a bunch of high acheiving, type A personalities want to show up for their job and just lay down game after game. Things may go sideways, teams may fall apart but these guys go out there and still try to win and compete. Both the Saints and Falcons are going to try and win this game(also have a combined 7 straight wins between them).

Anyone rooting for New Orleans needs their head checked. We all know this team is shitty. Our HC is a moron, our "franchise" QB is a fuging midget and our owner is movie villain dumb. There is no benefit to rooting against our playoff berth. None.

We tried that hiring coaches and forcing them on a HC with Reich. Turns out the All-Star staff just turned into a bunch of snitches that ran to Tepper with every problem. IMO, if Canales isn't capable of seeing his flaws and correcting them, it will never work. You have the discussion about bringing in an OC with the GM and Canales. If he is resistant to that idea or he basically indicates that Idzik is the guy, I think you have the answer. Were it me and I couldn't just summarily can him, I would tell him that he has to have a dedicated OC and/or offensive playcaller. If he says Idzik, cool. But that leash will be really short in 2026 and as the person that says this is "the guy", you put your name behind him. One thing to keep an eye on is if you see coaches start getting fired during the 2026 season, that means the hot seat is cherry red under Dave.

He is just old and fat AF.

I think he fires Canales toward the end of next season, as we win 4-6 games in 2026.

A lot of the teams that had inordinately high winning percentages in one score games from last season fell back to the pack this season. I think we will see ourselves in one of these articles next year: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46003861/nfl-teams-likely-decline-lose-more-games-2025-season-predictions-vikings-chiefs-commanders-lions-colts

My prediction of no winning seasons before 2030(made 2 years ago) still holds up. David Tepper is not a winning owner.

It also doesn't help to have a complete and utter moron calling plays.

Aggressively retarded.

If it isn't obvious to everyone that Dave is as much of the issue with the TEAM(not franchise, that's a different discussion) as Bryce, I just don't know how much more he has to do to convince people. But, this place still has people that believe in Bryce Young, so I guess the "hope springs eternal" crowd will continue to ignore the mountain of exceedingly obvious flaws that Canales has as both a head coach and play caller. And before the "hE's LiMiTeD bY bRyCe" crowd starts getting whipped into a frenzy, Bryce ain't the reason we suck at preparation, playcalling, in game adjustments, personnel management, etc. Canales would hamper us enough on his own even if he weren't saddled with a middle school QB.

This is 100% accurate. This is twice that a polished, used car salesman has rooked him. He loves some psuedo religious BS, I suppose.

This was always false. He has never been a QB whisperer.

The thing to watch is how they progress as their locker room leaders age out and the very, very young head coach attempts this reset. It's possible they can supercharge their rebuild and have it condensed to a season or two but it's also just as possible it goes the other way and they sink to Panthers level.

Most of yardage against the Cardinals this season(328 yds) was in the 3rd/4th quarter when the Cards were melting down.

You are asking for the 2015 Denver Broncos with the benefit of facing the 2015 Carolina Panthers coaching staff. 2015 Shell of Peyton Manning is the only QB in the Super Bowl era demonstrably worse than Bryce Young.

I would say that's a very premature prediction. The only real competition we have for worst roster in the NFC South is New Orleans. Most of their best/core players are nearing retirement. Ages are at the start of next season. Kamara: 31 Hill: 36 Davis: 37 Jordan: 37 They aren't devoid of young talent but they are still in a very transitional phase. If Shough pans out, that will definitely help them a ton but let's not forget they were net sellers at the trade deadline. They are in a rebuilding phase, not a "division leading" phase.

He is never going to be a QB that is super low in TO's because he lacks the abilities necessary to make a lot of throws. He shouldn't be a massive TO guy ever because he lacks the confidence to consistently challenge teams with tight window throws and downfield shots.

He has 4 games this season of 200 or more yards passing. He has 6 games this season of 150 or less yards passing. I can check but I bet that may possibly lead the league.

Bryce Young is never going to fix his mechanics. He does not have a strong enough arm to be an "arm thrower" so when his base is not set, he struggles mightily to make NFL throws. The biggest problem with this is that he isn't a pocket QB. It's partially because he can't get clean throwing lanes, he can't see over lineman and he also lacks the confidence in the pocket necessary to do so. So, he is a scrambling, arm throwing QB that doesn't have the arm required to make NFL throws. There is no potential path to success like this. None.

TO's/GM 2025: 0.94 2024: 0.92 2023: 1.00 One of the most consistent aspects of his career is that he is roughly a 1 TO/GM QB. His Int% has gone up from 1.9% to 2.3% over his career. His actual only real points of improvement are Completion Percentage(career high) and Passing YPG(career high). His now new career high is 188.2/GM. L O L

Stuff like this is letter of the law territory. Plus, if you give an inch, you would open the door to a wide range of interpretations of what consists of a "break" of employment. It's not something they should be generous with because the compensation is pretty generous. Two 3rd round picks is HUGE.

Oh I don't believe any of that. Literally neither.

I think they are saying the general feel is the expectation that his option will get picked up. That said, I don't think that is set in stone. It does indicate what some of us have felt for a lot of this season, that they are leaning towards him being their guy.
