My prediction, and I hope I’m wrong: ATL dominates us like we did them in the first matchup.

I may be in the minority, but I watch every year because I’m hoping we make the playoffs. We a competitor pulling for a team in a competitive sport, why would I watch knowing we’re just gonna suck anyway? Even in years that we know we’re going into it thin, I still want to believe we’ll be one of those miraculous one-year-turnaround stories. Why else should we be watch if we don’t want to compete? And yes, I’m aware competing can happen without winning, but the playoffs are the minimum goal in my mind. Nobody wants to waste their time or resources to lose. That being said, as long as Bryce is playing, we will not be making the playoffs.

My opinion has been if Shanahan can’t make them pop, then they probably won’t cut it anywhere else as a QB. But, I believe in Lance’s physicals and was intrigued by them the year he came out. Ultimately, I land the same place you do - my approach this offseason is the shotgun - shoot and let the pellets hit where they may. Bring in multiple guys with the tools and/or resume and see who rises to the top. Lance, Cousins, Jameis, see if Shedeur is available, draft a rookie, etc.

it initially was made out of hope, now it serves as an Onion-level satire of his tenure here. Good times.

I’ve been posting everywhere I can about it, but I’m tired of everyone bagging on Tet for the drops because if you watch the games and you see the targets they’re fuging horrible. Most of them the receivers have to stop, turn around, reach at their feet, or sky in the air. If he throws 100 passes, only about half 10 of them will hit the receiver in the numbers. If I’m running my route as a grown man at a grown man size, and I am in full stride and you throw the ball to my butt on a drag route, what the fug am I supposed to do with that? He literally never puts them in position to keep going and make a play once they catch it. And really, the only passes I’ve seen him hit guys in the numbers on are usually those little 5 yard hitch routes, which more often than not won’t really allow them to YAC after anyway. If they are fuging moving, he is missing.

TBH, I think a lot of the guys who are super critical have to stay measured even then because Tepper will cut them off from access.

I as well. And I every time I watch Maye now, I can feel the rage slowly bubbling to a froth. All we had to do was wait one more year and make the same trade if needed and had Drake fuging Maye. I know me and @LinvilleGorgewere talking about it all of 2023. But Tepper blew his load for Bryce. Have I mentioned I fuging hate David Tepper?

I’ve been saying this about XL. Again, it’s unfair to judge any of these WRs or TEs as long as Bryce is QB. XL could easily have the numbers Tet has right now or close to it, and Tet should have about 25 more receptions himself, if they had a fuging legitimate QB. If I was a WR I would be pissed tf off with this whole organization… well, I’d feel that way at any position, but especially WR. Not only are you limiting our success as a team, but you’re making me look bad at my job in the process and hurting my potential to get paid what I deserve. They need to sit Bryce tf down.

No doubt, Lawrence is supremely more physically talented than Bryce, although that’s a really low bar. That being said, I asked ChatGPT the other day which WB Bryce Young most closely mirrored and it said EXACTLY Trevor Lawrence. I was actually blown away by how similar their stats are. I have heard more recent rumblings that Jacksonville was growing restless with him but without looking at the numbers, I couldn’t understand why. I had no idea he has struggled that badly for the duration of his pro career. Watching him in college, he seemed like he was going to be a sure fire franchise QB. All that being said, I’d still take him a million times over Bryce and alternatives like Mac Jones.

Honestly, had Rhule and Tepper not run Cam out of town AGAIN, and just let him continue to start until a young prospect was drafted to eventually replace him, we would’ve already made the playoffs during this 2018+ stretch and we never end up in this debacle with shitty ass Bryce either.

Yeah, it reads as a coach being forced to play a QB who can’t do the things he wants him to do, so it’s almost like a game of chicken with ownership.

And “not prohibitively bad” to WHO????????? They should’ve addressed the poo over the offseason. We’re 5-5 instead of say, 7-3, because of fuging Bryce.

I respect what Shanahan does with QBs. That being said, if we sign Mac as the fuging fix to this poo, I will blow my fuging brains out.

Which is why they should’ve addressed the poo well before this year. They’ve had two full off seasons to build in a contingency plan and did absolutely jack poo.

That’s the feel of it, because there’s no other way around what he’s saying and trying not to say.
