I'd like mroe detail on what percent of throws to open men mean. For instance, is it percent of throws to open men out of total percent of throws, or out of total percent of throws in which a player was open? That's an important distinction.

Bosa has twice the QB hits and more sacks in his 'down' year. He's just a more complete player Burns doesn't deserve what he's asking for, if he really wants 30 mil+.

Eh Evero is a good coordinator. But he doesn't have great pieces for his scheme. Possible Brown is the same, hard to tell. Evero's D, between injuries and the shittiness of our offense, is working under impossible strain and still doing OK. Good enough to repeatedly put us in position to win games with even an average offense.

Our OL isn't even the worst in the league. Our overall receiving group (that is, including TEs) might be. Doesn't matter how much time you give a QB if he can't find someone to throw to.

Can't wait to see what frequently injured player we overpay for in 2026.

I don't know how Fitterer survives unless he's wedged so far up Tepper's ass, he's impossible to remove.

I wouldn't say we've rebuilt the Bears just yet but we've certainly given them all the tools to rebuild themselves lol

The degree of compounding errors has been insane... And it all comes down to Tepper's impatience. From moving on from Cam to Teddy to Darnold (and the extension) ... To Mayfield... To Bryce... The total compensation in dollars and draft picks we've spent on QBs since Tepper is deeply depressing

I mean unless there's poo we don't know about happening behind closed doors, the NFL isn't gonna force tepper to sell, lol

sounds like something tepper would do. going to assemble the allstar front office with a million cooks.

holy fug would that be incredible, hahahaha

never gonna happen... the vast majority of NFL players are far more mature than Tepper, and all of 'em know what would happen if they crossed an owner like that.

the NFL is gonna do something, they have to. This isn't just a Charlotte thing, it's all over the NFL. you're probably right on the one game left thing tho... Tepper should still own up to it and apologize.

they shouldn't be forced to be the first people in the org to comment, even if the comment is "no comment." it really isn't fair to them.

the one thing that can bring virtually every poster together on this board... Tepper being an asshat.

I dunno man, AR has 3 2+ TD games ... in only 4 games. For a rookie. While you're right about being somewhat adverse throwing downfield, for him, it isn't an arm strength issue, at least. And he's only 21... I would def be worried about injuries tho.

So I basically agree with you on the relative merit of FSU overall, but man, good for those players for opting out. Why risk significant injury in a basically-worthless bowl game?

my comment was based on the (supposedly credible) reports of him taking responsibility. I've learned that just 'cause someone accept responsibility doesn't mean poo if they don't change the fuging behavior that lead to them needing to take responsibility in the first place!

and I do not for a second think Tepper believes he's the problem. I think he thinks his decisions were the problem. There's a massive difference there, because he'll just "buckle down" and try to figure it out himself, instead of doing the smart thing and "firing" himself and getting a football person in to take over.

Ugh, to think that of the three options we picked the worse one... Hell, the worst QB in the entire class so far... With AR, we are probably still drafting #1 just because of his injury. But man, he looked so dynamic when he was playing. So much to look forward to. Stroud probably has this team in the playoff hunt until the last couple weeks of the season (because our division sucks) and we still probably have Reich as a coach lol. I think our offensive weapons aren't good, but aren't nearly as bad as people say, which is why when BY was "on" for a couple quarters, they looked pretty good. Decent QB play elevates everyone...

oh for sure, lol, Bryce has thrown some terrible passes. no point in arguing which of them has been worse. Certainly Bryce is the bigger disappointment given the investment in him. Fwiw I agree in principle on your Dalton comment but I think that we'd still see how bad the offense is, and that we are lacking in a true receiving threat. Things can turn around very quickly in the NFL with the right coaching and a couple key players (and notably, better QB play, how ever we achieve that), but with Fitterer looking to be safe, I don't think we need to worry about that happening.

this is, uh, a very low bar to hit at this point, lol

I think BY is a direct response to the fact Tepper let his people pass on a certain QB during the 2021 draft... He saw what happened and was determined not to let it happen again.

Ehh, Theilen's only .3 YPR less than last year... While that is a decent chunk less he's been trending down for the last few years (12.5 -> 10.8 -> 10.3 ... Now 9.9). Evans would be doing worse than he is now for sure, but def still over 1k yards. I think Evans would make the catches Chark has been dropping and then some. I don't think Evans is a sideline distraction, is he? Tbh I don't follow the Bucks that well. I mean Robby renamed himself to Chosen, which should tell us all we need to know about him.

Lol in the real world... It's a fuging football stadium and Tepper was in a private booth. Consequences lol
