This missed a great opportunity to reset the direction of this franchise when Rhule was hired (and during COVID). But I regress. Can only hope Dave will get it right this time.

Hate this for Scott because he appears to be a good guy and well liked within the organization. But it’s beyond obvious a new direction is needed and we can only hope Tepper will get finally get this right.

Agree we need a culture change but you can l’t tell me everyone needs to go. Derrick Brown with over 100 tackles this season, Chuba Hubbard running hard, Luvu and Horn balling out - we definitely have some core players to build with.

We’ll probably find out today

Horn is ballin’ today

Yup that sack was on Bryce. Going for the long ball when all we needed was 4 yds

Sad indeed. Didn’t know he was still in the League. Should’ve retired years ago.

Except this year. Todd Walsh is a renowned DL coach and well respected around the league. No doubt he’s played a role in Brown’s stellar performance this year. We definitely need to lock him down financially. Same for Luvu.

You know I’ve actually thought about that also. It would probably be a tough sell for Staley though.

It’s Joe Horriz from the Ravens for me. We need a change of culture in the worse way and the Ravens have been perennial winners. Ray Agnew makes sense if Tepper is truly sold on Ben Johnson - his connections with Evero and Brown makes the transition easier though I’m not sure Brown sticks around after this disastrous season. Ian Cunningham is at least worth consideration based on his background.

Can’t get any more depressing knowing the Bears suckered us out of our best offensive player (DJ Moore - 9/159 yds/TD today) and the #1 overall pick in next year’s draft for a QB we can’t protect or provide any help for.

This is some of the worse blocking I’ve ever seen. Matadors block better. Josh Allen literally beat Ickey and Mays for that sack

Nope…that would be Derrick Brown. Pay him! Then find money for Luvu b/c he’s our 2nd best defensive player.

Certainly and the downward spiral has been apparent since 2016.

Brown wasn’t the ONLY one who played with pride but he definitely balled out. Luvu and Horn made some big plays also. Overall our D played well but their efforts were wasted by an inept offense and bad ST play.

Yup this organization is a real clusterfug and NOBODY wants to be here. You can tell by what’s happening on the field.

I’d pay Brown b4 thinking of paying Burns. This guy is a centerpiece of our D.

Run defense non existent today.

Looks like the annual Harbaugh shuffle is in full swing. They’re not going to wait for him to entertain NFL offers this go round it seems.

I’d like to see us pursue David Bakhtiari out of Green Bay in FA as his future there looks to be in doubt. At 32 he’s got enough experience and familiarity with Campen (if he’s still here) to man the LT spot for a few years. This way we can move Ickey to LG and search for a viable replacement @ LT in the upcoming draft. At this point Christensen is a good backup and provides OL depth. Not sure what we should do with Bozeman.

While the “super processor“ trait has been well overhyed, this kid has been setup to fail from jump based on the article. What Young has been tasked with is impossible for any rookie QB no matter how talented or intelligent you are.

Reich, Fitterer and the offensive coaches decided the priority before Young’s first season was preparing him to call plays in the huddle for the first time and giving him time to absorb a playbook that blended Reich’s system with wide zone concepts Brown bought from the Los Angeles Rams. Any tweaks or changes the Panthers wanted to make to Young’s mechanics would wait until the offseason. Anyone else find that last sentence at least mildly disturbing? Why would they wait until the next offseason to fix what has obviously been a major flaw in his game? I always felt we should have “redshirted” Young the way the Chiefs did Mahomes his first year, and this just proves Reich and offense staff have mismanaged his development.

Meanwhile our former interim coach has damn near suffocated the best team in the league in the NFCCG rematch.

Fun fact: Evans has scored 11 TDs against the Panthers, most against any team.

I’ve been saying Ickey should’ve been moved to LG since we drafted him. Premature starting at him @ LT with Christensen being a better suited player at that position. Got the NCST fans fired up by the proof is in the pudding.
