Heck, Sellars was turning down reportedly 8 million dollar checks last season. He better go take a good one this year at a better school

I think Fitterer was ultimately fired over Frank and other mistakes…. all the other Bryce people are still here. Morgan. Caldwell. And both those dudes have more sway than Canales

The real crazy part about Bryce…..is to be as bad as he is for as long as he has been…..and still have the support he does. Not just fans but the media still giving this org a pass on the absurdity at this point (but it probably is tied to what a joke this org has been and therefore really stupid doesn’t stand out like it should)

The entire team is essentially better in year 2……Bryce is just the same bad QB he had always been. I don’t like Canales O. Didn’t when we hired him. Still don’t like it. But the team is trending better outside of Bryce and how he limits it all.

Ben Johnson appears to be a massive prick. I would question how things would go in rough times with him because I’m sure he becomes an even bigger one then

Bench him for who? A completely washed Dalton with a busted thumb on his throwing hand? Morgan screwed him.

I’ve already said I think he broke the in house/tie split. And that’s probably a pretty normal thing for an owner. I think this past hiring cycle, Tepper’s reputation didn’t allow him to hire anyone good. He hired a firm to go find people. I do think we have 2 pro teams to judge him off of. I don’t think anyone good was available for him or willing to come here last cycle……..so his only option was basically to keep it all going. All we really did was remove Fitterer and change some of O coaching staff from the Frank era. The folks at the top remain more the same than they are different. Both in the front office and top O advisors like Jim Caldwell. So, I think the Bryce issue is still largely a product of the people hired…..and Caldwell, Morgan and company got more say than the unqualified Canales I was anti everyone that brought us Bryce. I wanted a new GM office. I wanted Jim Caldwell gone.

Sure he will, he lets both his soccer and football people build teams. Problem was and IMO is…..the folks he hired to build the team. What is the GM office.

He was handpicked by Andrew Luck. Andrew Luck knows football. Frank Reich was sabotaged. When local reporters were talking about the in house split….folks tied Frank were in the house making a hard sell on CJ as a “Frank QB”. Sure, Tepper is the dude that hires everyone but there is no doubt the split was GM office and staff IMO. Tepper broke the split and when Tepper talked about the why we went with Bryce…..it was total GM talk about roster management. and there is no way Dan and Dan’s staff were anti Bryce and Fitterer was the lone voice in the GM office selling Tepper. Still think Dan is getting a pass he doesn’t deserve on Bryce.

I‘m not a fan of Caleb Williams at all. Don’t like his personality and I don’t think he will ever hit his perceived ceiling (too erratic and big play driven)….. but he has actual #1 overall talent. Like, it’s crazy to watch the vast gap in talent and tools between a real #1 overall pick and Bryce Young

Coaches are pretty consistently asked about bad QB play and other options. Tepper has a good control over local media….over the last 3 years we got the worst QB in the NFL. And there hasn’t really been any noise from local media about how bad Bryce is right now and how clearly he is in the way of our success.

And the great redemption of Sam Darnold (who was always better than Bryce at his worst) has featured him being on different 4 teams in the last 4 years. Folks wanting to hang on to the worst starting QB in the NFL because he might end up like Sam Darnold just speaks to how the bat isn’t just laying on the floor it’s buried in the sand

winning culture?

Optimism? At this point i think it is some weird football masochism (I had to google what enjoying pain is)

Wishful thinking. Rico got less than 7 carries vs SF. He only got 6
