Well, this takes the heat off Tepper for today. I guess he got tired of being the butt of the jokes. It will resume after Sunday.

Nah, I have no hope for this team. It's just funny that people think things are going to get so much better. Now let the b*tching start because Brown or Evero didn't get the interim tag. Even if this squad manages a win or two, it's still a dumpster fire and I have no idea outside of money why anyone would want to coach this club. They aren't cutting Bryce and while I have no doubt he will improve, probably not to the level of a legit QB1.

Panthers: Tepper:

Because Fitterer was/is all in on Bryce too.

So back to the same. Nothing will change. Tepper is on the phone now begging Harbaugh to take the job. I hope he tells Tepper to pound sand.

What a relief for Frank. God speed brother.

As dumb of moves as Rhule made, he knew that drafting a rookie QB would lead to his dismissal. That said, he sucked at evaluating FA QBs too. If you look at HCs who have been tethered to a rookie QB, it's often a short stint, VERY short. The rookie QB always gets the benefit of a doubt despite how bad they look. Josh Rosen is the only one I can think of that got the swift axe. Otherwise, signing up to take over a team knowing you are drafting a rookie QB is like playing Russian roulette with your career.

Are we going to start a new mock draft thread for 2024 or just keep using this one? It would be nice to start with a fresh one.

It would take a coach like Harbaugh to tell Tepper to stay the fug out of football operations. Reich obviously didn't know what he signed up for. A real world business correlation would be a meddling CEO who hired a President of Operations and then told him who to hire as the lead person handling the day-to-day business--who if you looked at their Linked In would know was as ill-fit for the Operations President. Wonder why things are going swimmingly?

Exactly, where is the last safety? If he's not visible in the screen shot that means he's a back in coverage, thus not cover zero and probably a single high safety.

It was a coup de ta, I'm certain of it. Old, white, southern man ripe for an overthrow. Poor old Jerry (Richardson) didn't know what hit him. While this Jerry^ has more than his share of enough dirt on him. What sealed it for me was when the owners refused to depose of Daniel Snyder who had countless wrong doings on his watch in DC. Jeans Friday and supposed racial slur in a organization full of black people for over 20 years from ONE former scout.

The '01 and '10 seasons were bad, but I don't remember the absolute vitriol towards him as there is towards Tepper currently. Was I happy about those teams? No, but I didn't think ownership was the problem, I thought ownership would hire the right coaches to fix the problem. Now, I'm convinced ownership 100% is the problem.

I think Bryce might have tripped over his shoe laces, otherwise that form is woof.

Where's the 11th Titan? Not cover zero, if so all defenders should be in the frame. Two Titan defenders are guarding the sticks far side, probably a 3rd with deeper coverage responsibility.

He checked to a play that obviously didn't work. Chark thought the original play would have worked. We will never know. I do know the checked play sucked.

Because Young can't be that dude. Everyone saw the audible watching the game, EVERYONE. So in order for Bryce not to take the blame, gotta divert elsewhere. Yeah, he'll stand at the podium as say "that's on me" which is getting old quickly, but notice neither the staff nor players have criticized him to date. So if Chark is the guy to fall on the sword for the failed 4th down, then that's just the way it has to be.

I wondered why Chark suddenly stopped when about to spill the beans on the original play?

Highest point total for us on the season and third largest points against. Wrong game for the defense to have a bad day.

The Eagles kicker just hit a 59 yard FG in the cold during an outdoor night game. Sound familiar?

At this point Frank will probably welcome it. Tepper has turned this team/organizations into a freaking disaster. I bet players and coaches alike would probably consider being dismissed a sigh of relief.

Usually a bad thing occurs because of unfortunate circumstances. However, if the same bad thing happens time and time again, there tends to be a common denominator. Granted we are banged up and are lacking robust play makers. Nobody would dispute that. That said, here's where I'm at: -Good QB play can operate efficiently in a vanilla offense. -Bad QB play can't thrive even in the most dynamic offensive scheme.

At some point the excuses are going to start to sound absurd.

Exactly. Why hitch your wagon to a rolling dumpster fire. Wait until the entire staff is fired and he's basically a free agent.

Chark just offed himself. Questioning the golden child is verboten. Dude will be on waivers Tuesday.
