Bumping this back up just to say for the first time I watched the team produced review with Kristen Balboni hosting TD and Stew. whixh always love to see them but don’t watch it I enjoyed it which surprised me. TD in particular got on the offense. Players and coaches. I didn’t expect that but did respect it.

I would never have traded up like that in the first place. But once that was done Stroud was the clear choice. If I were going to gamble like that, he was the horse. I am not fond of gambling like that and would have missed him in the first place. Just pointing out the obvious. I have never even watched Dart play and I hear the downsides. I am not pumping him per se. Point is he was close to an XL level investment and that is a massive difference in risk. That is where I want to live as opposed to trying to move into the top two picks type of approach. I know if we do this right we can upgrade without breaking everything else.

It is a big time indictment on ownership. Along with the other indictments. But Bryce was the major offense.

And sluggish I thought I didn’t see much of him. It was kind of…. Next. it is funny,, almost every time I say that I want the assets, all the tools, I am told about the guys with the tools that don’t have all the goods to go with them. You still have to have the tools. Of course there is more to it.

I know someone would sign him. They wouldn’t play him and he might not even be active. So fwiw do You think he could be fixed? Fixed implies that he is broken. I see it as this is what he is. He is not broken, just not suited for the application. of course I am a casual or so I am told and clueless. Can’t trust my eyes. I think the odds of him turning it on and keeping it on at a high level are way against that happening. People have been telling me I am wrong for 2.5 years and as of now it has yet to be born out. No matter what they put around him.

It is due diligence basically. Drudgery but to be thorough you have to give him the season. We have stomached it this long, what’s another few games to be 100% certain? Thwy have a ton invested and the only thing worse than being embarrassed by being wrong about him being good is being wrong about him being bad and him showing you up with another team. So I see that happening? No. But it isn’t my reputation.

I understand your feelings. But one of them owns the team and must be shown not told. Apparently.

If we let him go tomorrow what roster would he be on that would play him? He is bad.

Best case for me is he stinks it up, except the last game where he plays great. They sell his ass to someone. edit: okay that is not right. Best case is he turns it on this week and doesn’t turn it off ever again. If you believ that could happen then, okay. I just don’t see it and don’t want people to be fooled again, and we have a Groundhog Day thing.

Where did you get that nugget? I mean, was it published or did you get it through the grapevine.

They can’t keep padding his grades when he is that bad. They have to go with it or lose credibility.

I’ll concede that. That is sort of my red line. Any pro coach, evaluator, etc, that believed in that guy is blind afaic. But in Canales’ position, the player needs to believe that Canales is with him. Whether Canales himself believes or not.

You can Canales and you break any continuity, again. It is worth waiting a year too long, to try and keep that IMO. Especially when all he has been ‘given’ to work with is a bust that most people knew was busting no matter what. I don’t believe any coach can transform a player that is physically overwhelmed. And Bryce is physically overwhelmed.

I don’t know how long Bryce would hold loyalty without any production. He goes another week like Sunday people will get antsy. PS Heinicke for me out of those names. I’d have seen him play well.

Yeah. I mean, getting called out by Manning would either motivate you or the opposite, you’d get an attitude. I don’t know what XL responds to. Carrot or stick. I am thinking he has been getting the carrot.

Everyone can get better now, come on.

I noticed him for sure. I favor grabbing someone’s backup, that hasn’t gotten their shot yet. Over a draft pick. Now, both would really be ideal, import a ready to play backup and a drafted guy to school.

Leadership council… most coaches have vets in the locker room that are conduits and keep them informed of the vibe or problems, and also take whatever message the other way back to the team. The making it an official thing with a title is not really my favorite idea.

It is heretical language to some. We casual types can say it, we are just dumb. When Cosell says it they probably go looking for their pacifiers and blankies. Second consecutive week he dished that out. I wonder what it will be on the review this week.

I am betting someone on the OL given they got a lot of press for holding Parsons to no pressures for the first time in his career. Maybe not. But that would give you a big head. Also wonder if it was Rico… Can’t do anything but guess and it is a bad accusation if you don’t know. Scourton saying it, tells me it was on both sides of the ball.

Yeah. Some people need to be hit over the head, five times.

I was intrigued by Richardson’s toolset but after observing 2 years I want no part. My whole thing was I was anybody but Bryce. You could have thrown a dart at a list of QBs and I’d have been okay with it. Stroud was the obvious NFL passer.

There are several. The further we get from this past Sunday the more will come out from the woodwork. 5 or 6 that haven’t made the break, maybe more. It is so funny that they have to juvenile with the turds. Excuses and turds. Brycetards.

If there wasn’t, a couple of guys talking will create one.

It ain’t hard, you don’t need a mountain of convoluted stats to explain what you are looking at.
