Sir Purr. Match the energy of the team.

If your expectations are another WR in the mold of Steve Smith you'll be waiting a long time. Most of these new young guys simply aren't built that way. Social media doesn't help either. I think your ego won't let you acknowledge you misjudged. Ohwell.

Some still are lol

I'm talking about before we traded for him. It is almost verbatim the same rhetoric about his time with the Jets. If it doesn't seem the same it's because you don't want to see it.

You could copy/paste this post from any comment about Sam Darnold three years ago. But go off.

We will hear about coaching the OL and the receivers but even the biggest Panthers homers should have a difficult time sugar coating all this. At best it's on par with Clausen. Quite depressing.

Bryce Young is the layer that complicates the hire when accounting for the fact there are multiple vacancies currently and some that have clear upgrades at QB. He will absolutely get next season but any head coaching candidate we hire is and will ask about all possibilities and contingency plans in the event things do not trend significantly upward for Bryce. The best candidate will not take the job if it's build around Bryce and nothing else. That is too much of a risk for any first time head coach. They read the same news we do about this team. Sometimes one chance is all you get. Tepper is going to have to accept his #1 pick just got a whole lot of people fired and we will need to assess possible options for 2025. In the meantime build the OL and get more weapons with what means we have.

I like Brian on a personal level I've defended him over the months here and Scott Fitterer was a bumbling buffoon. But it's best for him to move on. We need to pay our real leader on defense Derrick Brown whatever he wants and keep it pushing. Too many other needs.

Clearly someone is attempting damage control. It would be better to say nothing at all than leak nonsense excuses like this. You lost your cool just own it and move on.

Waking up to this news is like Christmas morning.

Part of this is also due to Bryce Young himself. When these defenses watch the tape they see our OL but they also see Bryce Young's yards per pass attempt. He finished the season with apparently the lowest yards per pass attempt in NFL history. That doesn't just happen only because of the oline and receivers. He simply does not instill any level of fear as a passer. That's the rub. Sad as it is to say.

Used to be the banner game was the one where we beat CJ Stroud and the Texans with Eddie's leg. Now it's a loss against one of the worst secondaries in the league that surrendered 4 (FOUR) passing touchdowns to Baker Mayfield who led his offense to 9 total points today against a Panthers defense that gave up 26 points to a Trevor Lawrenceless offense last week. You just can't talk sense to some of the people who want to believe despite quantifiable data.

For the folks who want to blame the oline the receivers Frank Reich Josh McCown Thomas Brown yada yada. Bare in mind. You sound exactly like the people who defended Sam Darnold until the bitter end. They shouted Adam Gase's name until you could barely hear a whimper. And the crazy thing about it is Sam Darnold always had every phsyical intangible needed to look the part that Bryce Young does not. Think on it. You've got plenty of time the season is over.

David Tepper is an unconscionable f*ckstick.

I believe he's a good kid. NFL QB? Future is not looking bright. But I also believe the toxic folks who attacked anyone that had a dissenting opinion about his abilities in the weeks before the draft now look foolish to say the least. Life comes at you fast. It's all about that 2025 draft baby. One way or another something big is changing after what will assuredly be another letdown next season regardless of who is the coach.

Shutout two games in a row to close the season. Officially I think we're witnessing worse than Jimmy Clausen as sad as it is to say.

Correct.

He and Baker Mayfield are competing for who can look like poo more. It's depressing either way.

A light breeze could knock down our #1 pick

Congrats big guy. Pay him whatever he wants.

I'm on record as having a fairly low opinion of Dalton. That Saints game last year between him and Darnold was so horrendous. But I do have to say there's a good chance we win at least a few more games and the offense that we all think is so damn awful looks somewhat better with Dalton's passing ability opening up the whole field. I don't love that truth at all. But it is what it is.

Banning people you don't agree with is a good way to not have a community left. We are the worst team in the NFL and probably in just about all of sports. Don't participate in discourse if you don't like it. It's only going to get worse as the offseason gets here and the media lays into us.

I'm hard pressed to find any single player on this offense to be very optimistic about.
