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.

The Bryce dick riders are equally as obnoxious as the haters.

I'd really like to vehemently argue with this. But man it's rough.

Juan strikes again!

It's amusing that people say things like this with the utmost confidence. Do you have any other information you can give us about the alternate universe where we draft CJ Stroud?

@poundaway

One poster in particular dumped several hundred poo reactions over the course of a month in the leadup to the draft on any posts not in total favor of Bryce Young. That poster has been completely MIA since the Colts game. Go figure.

The threads immediately following that win sure have been fun to revisit.

If he's actually hiring outside people to run the search bravo. If we are only going to replace Fitterer with Morgan as much as I like Dan the person and former player he's been here with Scott through some mess and he absolutely cannot be absolved. Not to mention there's the layer that Tepper exerts his own influence on the GM and the familiarity he has with Dan will probably muddy the waters. Honestly I'm in favor of completely gutting the entire front office and scouting dept. We have been comically abysmal at drafting.

I appreciate the real data people are bringing to give us a full picture on the talk of our OL woes. Regardless of who we hire as the head coach we definitely need to see some level of an upward trend from Bryce next season or the locker room is going to get dicey. It doesn't matter how nice someone is or how much they are liked as a person when other people are having their livelihood affected by consistently bad QB play. Eventually it erodes the foundation. See Sam Darnold as a starting QB.

This is ultimately a redundant thread I agree. I can agree some of the Stroud talk has become unhealthy. Unfortunately for those who want to move on that is going nowhere for at least another year or two. Even the guy himself is aware of it and has rubbed our noses in it. Have to both accept the outcome and understand it will remain a major topic of discussion going forward as long as our franchise is stuck in the mud. I don't think most people are "opposed" to BY as much as they are disappointed just how statistically horrendous he has been regardless of extenuating circumstances. We have to acknowledge the fact that for him to make a full 180 from here and become a franchise QB would go on to become one of the most miraculous career turnarounds in decades. Best case scenario from here is he becomes a decent starter and we still draft competition for him down the line.

New GM and the Tepper's out of personnel decisions.

1st overall pick and a statistical top 10 WR. Ohh wee Mayne. I definitely appreciate the attempt at optimism. I'll have some of that if we actually hire a new GM and Tepper steps back. Until then I expect more of the same unfortunately.

I'm not telling you to call him a POS. I'm not sitting here calling him names. I'm telling you he is a very poor owner and he is very bad in his overall decision making from major team decisions down to basic things like attending games and acting like an angry toddler. He is also very petty and we are hearing he only wants to surround himself with literal yes men. If you don't agree so be it.
