Exactly ONE game under .500 in 23 seasons. Heck, Tepper hasn't had one .500+ season YET!

I remember the good old days of--'just wait until next year' mantra.

Yup, crazy that companies still allow that to this day. I was at bank Friday and saw several ladies in jeans. The audacity!

That would be unfair, but I understand it. Dude got a crap roster, a rookie QB and one that's looking like a bust. Add on to the fact he was sold on this veteran defense--one that was suppose to take pressure off the offense looking like a M*A*S*H ward adds to the frustration. Scheme is not why this offense sucks right now, it's the players playing like poo that's main culprit and the back seven of the defense tag teaming turns on the IR.

I know. Believe me, I've harped at length about Bryce's accuracy beyond the numbers. It's abysmal. I mean, if he doesn't have the velocity to drive the ball inside the numbers, beyond them is even a bigger feat.

For all the crap Frank is catching for his coaching, Fitterer should be the first to go, like ASAP. This roster was mostly his baby. I tried to give him the benefit of a doubt due to Rhule having 'roster control.' However, the moves he's made even since Rhule's dismissal have been questionable. This is the time of season when the real digging for scouts starts. Better to ditch him now before any 2024 draft compilation starts in earnest where Scott has input.

Even if he led Mingo to the 0 in the 30, at worse it's a PBU. You can't be late on crossing routes. Absolute QB suicide.

They won't trade Burns now because the compensation will be so grossly inadequate compared to the Ram's package that the mockery would be absolutely savage. The only way to save face is not to trade him and stick to the "off the table" trade stance.

That plan was for building the offensive skill positions in order to draft a #1 QB in 2024. Change of tactics now because we put the cart in front of the horse. Colossal f-up this past draft. You all know I'm pretty active here. Anyone recollect me being excited or even posting about a) the trade to #1 or b) drafting Bruce Young? That's because I wasn't excited--AT ALL--about either of the moves, so I avoided posting about it.

My opinion of Fitterer has been slipping for a while, but it tanked when we didn't take those two #1 picks from the Rams in exchange for Burns.

He meant one and done for a first round QB.

Greg is not going to dump on the QB. Not his style to berate one individual.

Eh, I just committed to ranting on here and made my wife watch it.

Bryce is a great dude. I'm sure he'd make a heck of a coach some day. He's just not cut out to play in the NFL. Being physically limited was okay in high school. At 'Bama he had one of the best rosters in the country to support him. Now, he's on a limited roster and the defenses he faces every week are like him facing Georgia's D every game. The odds finally caught up to Young of being undersized when it comes to playing at the highest level of football.

100% on Bryce. Slow delivery, stared down his target, late on the throw, no zip on the pass, did not lead his man. So how is this not Bryce's fault again?

Coping. Mingo is open in the first frame and Bryce already has the ball cocked. By the time he releases the ball, not only has the DB made up ground, but the ball is behind Mingo. You are supposed to LEAD your WR when the DB is in his hip pocket on crossing routes. Or was that one of his patented 'back shoulder' throws, lol?

Can someone pull up the 3rd and 3 when where Mingo was on a drag route--wide open--and Bryce immediately swung the ball to the outside.

I doubt it too, because it would be the smart thing to do. We know this organization under David Tepper doesn't do smart things.

Against the #2 defense in the League. Only three points less than against the garbage defenses we saw the past three weeks.

He could have if he played QB today.

You all know Tepper was the diving force behind the Young pick. Never before did the S2 test get so much hype. You think that was the coaches, lol?

Nah, he had the arm to make teams think twice about stacking the box. I've said it before, no NFL defense is scared of Bryce's arm.

Yup, he doesn't have the touch or arm strength to drive the ball into tight windows. Both attributes are KEY to being a successful NFL QB.

It's their way of not running up the score without just handing the ball off for three straight downs. Respect.
