If he did most of the combine then top of the 3rd. I just don't know if he has enough to make the top of the 2nd round.

Anyway you look at it Bryce needs excellence everywhere around him to play average. Yes he can be carried in that situation but it's also such an exhausting expectation, especially given the current abilities of the staff to find, keep and cultivate talent.

The national media is already kicking. The Guardian did a peice too. Yeah the local media is mostly towing the company line. I do wonder how long Tepper can keep that up. Ellis' podcast disapeared after the Seattle game. IDK but that levy is going to bust sooner than later. It's all building and a good old trainwreck creates clicks and views.

Better chances of winning the lotto. Even if a good candidate wanted to work here Tepper has ketchup on steak taste and that is what Fritterer is, ketchup on a 2 billion dollar steak that has started to rot. Edut: maybe the is worse to me because ketchup is similar to paint in taste. Crap just taste like chemicals and low quality products to me.

I don't even have that much hope left. The guys Tepper would hire are not likely to do any better IMO, it's his MO that craps the bed for me. Hell we could do worse.

That was intentional and hilarious. All of it

If you are just replacing him with a clone then keep him until tepper gives up. No yes man coming here is going to do better when Tepper is in chage of the yes part. Until Tepper is thoroughly embarrassed and exhausted by losing there is no real reason for hope. That is just guaranteed hearbreak.

For every small plus there are multiple huge negatives. Old coached up guy in his twilight years in the NFL. Throw in Dalton lol. Look at the younger guys he considers buildable peices to the roster. It's so bad. The only real question is he just terrible or is he just doing whatever he is told?

Look at this year and his past years and tell me what is really different? Either he is a yes man or he is just a pile of suck, either way he does an awful job. Trades, roster building, contracts, drafting...where is he not an F in skills?

F-. Pick whatever reasons you want there are so many. He proved why so many said he wasn't good enough or deserved a shot at being a 'full time' GM. That guy is Rhule or Tepper quality level GM.

It's like having David Newton blocked from personally posting here great job!

It's hard to get excitrd about a 33 year old rental player given what the drafted WRs look like. I guess this team needs to load up with older coached up guys to hit .500.

I said a year after a new HC. He will get his shot on a rookie deal with a new coaching staff unless they keep Frank 4 years or they bring in a HC for Bryce which really would be more of the same. I also think you of all people shouldn't be calling people crazy either. It's so bad that anything is possible. Tepper is literally capable of any dumbassery anyone can think up here.

He is gone 1 year after a coaching change. If the new HC runs a halfway decent scheme he will have to play in a formation other than shotgun around 10% of the time. That doesn't look to end well.

Colts. Frank shows up for 1 game and then back to his regular.

It makes me want Tepper to be embarrassed further. That's what Im here for I guess. That's all that looks like there is left to the team so I guess so. I hope the media keeps turning up the heat. They should be making fun of this team and Tepper has earned it.

It doesn't look like he will ever come close to being good enough to justify that trade. You don't do that trade unless you are getting a stud. Maybe he will become an average starter is a bust with that trade. I also don't see how anyone can put hope into building aaround him with the lack of picks and the low level of talent evaluation they have going on around the team. If he ever makes it to average I don't think it will be here but his next team. He isn’t winning a SB with the limitations in his game so it doesn't matter.

There were 2 big claims against JR, don't act like it was just jeans day that doomed him. He was too easy to push out and the team still practiced in a fugging ballroom when it rained because he was too cheap to even build a practice bubble. Tepper is trash but that doesn't make JR more than he was. This team has never had a good owner or GM. It is what it is.

He was a declining coach when we hired him and he just took another step this year in the wrong direction. Plenty of the poo that went bad in Indy is on display here with his all-star crew. I have no idea if these people can turn it around, even next year. I was never high on the entire crew, even the possible positives are not matched well to flourish. I don't even feel bad for Frank. He should just retire. It would be a mercy to everyone but his opponents.

Thinking of who filled the PR void when Rhule had his key taken and what condition it was left in by that point. The worst part of this bot is that it's probably what Tepper thinks. Keep Pounded

The dream met reality. It was way overhyped, all of it.

It's so bad and there really is no sane reason to think it's going to get better.

I think there are 2 types of tanking. Activity trying to lose games in games is just not a viable option in a competitive sport with so few games. Losing and then trading players for draft capital while losing more is absolutely a viable strategy. You actually need people that can evaluate talent for those picks but it's a great way to start a rebuild. There isn't much to trade away or build around here now and there absolutely isn't any talent evaluators worth wasting hope on either.

The talent evaluation part is what kills me. I can't hope for them to build anything anyway when that part has been so awful and yet scary consistent with different people.
