Brady was absolutely out with New England. Lamar was not. The Ravens never said they were done with him.

Honestly the last two weeks have given reason for excitement. He does need to keep this going, and fug would I be pumped if he finished the season on a tear, but let's not get too far ahead of ourselves just yet. Either way, I think we saw glimpses of why he was a first round QB pick the last two weeks (and honestly, he's had some plays earlier where we did too). It is completely possible there were too many voices in his hand and he was listening to too many different people and not focusing on enough on any one thing. I hope that was it. Footwork is still a major concern, but footwork IS fixable.

Also from PFF: PICK NO. 1: CAROLINA PANTHERS: QB BRYCE YOUNG Overall Rookie Grade: 55.6 (Rank: 6/6) Principal Opponent: N/A Week 16 Snaps: 66 Week 16 Grade: 82.0 For the second straight week, Young saved his best for last. He just narrowly missed his second consecutive victory but tallied 300 passing yards for the first time in his career. It was also his first game with three big-time throws. Young posted a 97.6 overall grade in the fourth quarter against Green Bay, which stands as the second-best quarter by any quarterback this year. Despite all the turmoil around him, it’s encouraging to see Young put forth back-to-back productive efforts. https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-grading-all-first-round-picks-week-16-2023-nfl-season

it boggles the mind he still has a job. I just don't get it. He has been SO bad. I do think it is likely Tepper has had a hand in what trades did and didn't happen, and that's part of it, but still.

Watson held out to get that to happen. Lamar didn't. Hugely different situations. Baltimore was playing with Lamar and EVERYONE knew it. Now if Lamar had gone into the season with the tag... I bet you'd have seen a different outcome.

I don't know how Fitt is safe, unless he is even more of a Tepper mouthpiece than we thought... How do you look at his trades, non-trades, & drafts and not kick him to the curb...? Ugh, the Reich firing was the right move but still a bit reactionary, while keeping Fitt is the total opposite. This offseason is pretty important because we are going to have holes everywhere and need some very good contract negotiations, need to get some decent value (depth is fine, just please be on the team in 2 years, UGH) with late picks for once... If Fitterer IS kept, we absolutely can't have him picking the next HC...

So there is a strange alternative universe where if Everos defense shores back up and Bryce plays well in the last couple, this could be our best long term move. I personally would still rather Evero as HC but Tabor has been surprisingly good overall. Love his sideline emotion.

So many reasoning to hit on Fitterer but this isn't really one of them... Nobody really thought Lamar was free and the situation was such I'm not surprised nobody negotiated.

People across the continent talking about how bad the refs were in that game, lol. Up here in Canada and it came up at a party...

Was at a party last night in Canada and people were talking about how bad the officiating was in our game. They'd only seen that last play with spiking the ball, but it had been going on all game...

I think the offense is finally working to his benefit too. He's had some very impressive catches the last couple weeks, and especially this week. Despite Reich throwing him under the bus he didn't quit on the team and I think that is showing in his play. Of course a professional shouldn't, but still.

Chark has been showing up the last few weeks and it really did seem to click yesterday. He's missed a couple grabs the last couple weeks but is overall looked great or at least so much better than early in the season.

The kind of game that gives me hope for his future. The first quarter was rough but he had some nice throws as the game went on.

We've played some bad passing defenses lol

Holy crap where was this from Chark and BY earlier in the year!!!

I will not miss Burns.

Sanders is so slow. And wtf is with our guard play

I mean you're just like the rest of us not at the game lol. Until the team is better why bother going to games. Also lol Burns just out there collecting paychecks

There's a massive difference between recognizing and even saying you're taking responsibility for something and actually changing the fuging behavior that caused the problem in the first place. Doesn't really matter who Tepper blames if he doesn't change the behavior that caused this shitshow in the first place...

Chubas a good possibility for a TD imo

I don't think the football people should be tied too closely to Bryce, either, but I do think it may be in the team's longterm interest to skip investing in a new QB this offseason, and riding with what we have, probably giving BY half a season or so while we develop the rest of the team. We already have Dalton on contract for next year anyway, so if BY flames out as it seems is likely, we've got a good vet to man the ship. But Tepper needs to also know this is the plan and not clean house right away, because it'll take time. The one thing I DON'T want them to do is to trade more assets for another QB... And I feel like most of the options that'll be realistically available to us in FA will not be very good...

Until he gets the fug out of football operations, it doesn't matter how much reflecting he does...

Someone mentioned the content at least. Not surprised this appears to be false information.

I wouldn't object to bringing Cam in as a consultant or something in some form, but I would rather a very experienced person for president if we went that route. The more Cam is around the team the better, but as @AggieLean said, our former players need to work their way into roles first IMO.

fug man there's so much to bag on Bryce for that's legitimate lol
