No poo. Gabe was solid and Jensen has been a fuging turnstile.

We will see. Reich took a blank check and no control. My fear is that is who we will get again. Someone that will take a big payday even though the situation is fuged.

84.3 for PFF is a very high grade. Grades in the 90's are not common.

Not even a little surprising. That interior was getting tossed around like small children.

I can accept just being a top 12-15 QB at this point. The thing I don't want is him to be a clear and overwhelming bust like someone like Sam Darnold/Josh Rosen.

Yeah, I miss both thoughtful and reasoned sports and political discussion. We have really devolved in those aspects.

We will see. I am highly skeptical he will accept much responsibility beyond "not getting the right guy." That’s the problem, IMO. It's not about the right guy, he hasn't learned how this all works. He hasn't learned that ultimately all he has to do it get adults in the room that know what they are doing and just write the checks. Doesn't mean that he will never have input but ultimately he needs to have good advisors that tell him what is what. He has wrapped his head around the fact that he isn't going to "figure this out." He doesn't know a fuging thing about football, much less professional football. Therefore his "football opinions" are worth less than the average Huddler.

I don't understand the concept from a viewers POV. Why would I watch someone who is spouting things they clearly don't believe just to get me to bite on being riled up? It doesn't make sense. Why would I watch if it is designed to make me outraged or mad? What is the point of that? I literally do not understand this concept at all. Billions of people fall for it but for the life of me I cannot understand it.

By all accounts it is the atmosphere Tepper himself created. All these back channels are ultimately to him. The Browns owner had a big expose written where he sort of did the same in his organization. I don't think it's an isolated thing for bad owners. Snyder had similar.

Agreed. We just need to see more of it. Developing some level of consistency will be critical.

Yeah, unfortunately I don't think he has come to that realization yet. It seems his original idea of this basically being a hedge fund and him being able to be some revolutionary force is still alive and well. The only shot we have is for him to eventually figure it out. I fear that is a small chance as he seems less than introspective. Frankly, at his age I don't expect that to get better. Those things rarely do for most people.

TBH there are a lot of factors that could be at play. Improved offensive scheme, improved QB play, improved receiver play, lightspeed terrible opponent, etc, etc. Almost impossible to tell with the one data point. Let's see how these next two games go and see if some trends emerge.

I think we already know what that is going to look like. Tepper making too many of the calls with some help from whatever powerless and hapless GM there is. All handing a pile of turds over to an overpaid head coach to attempt to polish with two hands tied behind his back. I would love to be proved wrong but this has happened twice already.

I finally understand all the Redskins fans. This is what that feels like.

Same applies.

Unfortunately I think the biggest factor working against us is Tepper and his reputation. There are very few coaches interested in that nonsense and the ones that likely will be are more like Reich trying to get one big cash grab.

I just disagree. You have to make a bigger impact on team success than a RB is capable of, IMO. I can see the counter argument against Hill, as well.

I hated that draft at the time while people raved about it. The odds of getting successful players drops every round but we insisted on collection mid and late round picks with our better picks. It was fuging infuriating and it was a fuging disaster in hindsight.

The truth is it doesn't matter what he does. If he is making the picks, they will be whiffs. Worst talent evaluator in the NFL.

Step 1. Stop watching/listening....

I'll believe it when I see it. Seems to me the only thing he has been able to do is shift gears to being worse and worse. Ron to Rhule to Frank. It is really going to have to take some poo for me to believe this time. This past offseason/season broke what remaining faith I had in him. He has to earn it back.

I think the 49ers guys split votes, ultimately.

We will see how it goes the next couple of games. I would like a repeat of this, obviously. Maybe some indication that things are headed in a positive direction.

I really don't want this GM trading down. He is awful at it.

It didn't hurt to be facing the leagues worst secondary. IDC, I will take it either way. If nothing else maybe this will be a collective boost of confidence.
