If you say so. I'm still waiting for him to hit a 15 yard out.

This year's team is last year's team + the #1 overall pick + a ton of money spent on FA additions (specifically 2 WRs, a RB and a TE). We didn't lose anyone of note. So this year's team should be better than last year's team, stud.

A routine short throw over the middle?

Scott, call up Miami - they might give you something for Bryce Young.

Cos Fitterer is a moron and will offer far more than he's worth.

Bingo - I'm at the point of hoping for it. It's the shock to the system Tepper needs to completely burn it all down and hand his $2bn baby over to someone that knows what they're doing.

Yeah I think Fitterer is gone. Reich might be gone if we continue to lose. The worry is that Tepper will slant the next GM / HC search towards someone who claims they're able to work with / build around Young.

We won 7 games last year - we might not win 1 this year. It's really not that hard.

If Young had looked like this at all so far I'd be less worried:

I just want to see him make an NFL throw, is that too much to ask?

No, we're not complaining if Young turns into a first ballot HOF QB. The problem is, right now, he looks like a one(season)-and-done QB who's only starting because he was taken #1 overall.

That's the beauty of being a billionaire - you can make the rules up as you go. Sack Fitterer, hand the reigns to a competent GM, bask in the reflected glory of a winning franchise and pretend that it was all that chin-less wonder's fault.

He gets 2 years if Fitterer / Reich get 2 years. He gets no time with the new GM - he's immediately on the clock and won't let himself be hamstrung by Young.

Show your working out.

There's a picture of them stood next to each other - Brees has a clear 2 inches on him. So not only is he bigger, but he's more athletic - and he had a RIDICULOUSLY accurate arm. All throughout the Draft process I was telling people that Young's only path to success was to be Brees-lite - the problem is he's shown already that half of the throws an NFL QB needs to make are off the table for him. For everyone saying he's got 2-3 years to prove it - if we get a new GM (and I hope to god a new HC) I think he's literally fighting for his NFL life now. He doesn't look like he even belongs out there 90% of the time.

Bingo - he was a cocky little poo coming into the Draft (some would say confident). He's been massively humbled in the last five months - it's clear that he's absolutely overawed by the speed and athleticism of NFL athletes 'cos he's hesitant to pull the trigger on anything that approaches an NFL throw. I think it's only going one way - I hope he banked his signing bonus.

I've no sympathy - he could have walked away after the Draft if he didn't want Young. It was a franchise crippling trade if we picked the wrong guy - he had to know that.

Honestly, there are no 'core' players on this roster. There are some good ones: Brown, Burns*, Chinn*, Horn (if he can stay healthy), Luvu*, Ekwonu, Corbett, Moton, Bozeman, Thielan. However, there aren't enough to build around - and there's no exceptional talents (I think Horn could be, Ekwonu could be an All-Pro OG). We need a new GM to come in with a plan, strip this roster down to the nuts and bolts and start again. *if put in the right situations

You can't say that when Scott Fitterer is an NFL GM.

I want a GM willing to make that call.

He's really not - we're going 0-17.

Which, again, is what I said during the Draft process. I haven't watched a whole lot of Caleb Williams, but from the plays I have seen from the highlights my "that won't work in the NFL" spider-sense tingles.

The brass balls sculpture that sits on Tepper's desk. Sadly we traded all our other resources away.

But I thought he was a galaxy brained QB who was explaining blocking protections to his OLine in the preseason? What gives?

I'm fine with the coaching staff. They were going after a milestone for Chaney - stupid, in hindsight, but if the refs officiate the game correctly then we're not talking about it. It's there in 4K that he's down - the refs have shafted us, as they tried to do all game. My big concern from tonight is the 3 horrendous INTs (could easily have been 4) that TVD threw. We won't beat UNC with him playing that badly, so we're out of the ACC Championship race now.
