You are no good at nick names.

I believe that, felt it instinctively, because no one with Reich’s lifetime of NFL experience runs that garbage out for the big new offense without some major reason. It would take a lot. Bryce and Tepper are a lot.

I was about ready to post the reason he was hired, or whatever, and I realized I wasn’t really thinking about it but the worst thing out of all of it was this guy basically wrote the offense? That was really freaking strange, hearing that. WHY? It looks to me that that is really where this went off the rails (if you don’t count the draft). I mean, all those quarterbacks gurus and brainpower and a new rookie QB and you ask a 1st time coordinator who really seems to only have like.. running game expertise, to be the architect of a ground up brand new offense? It never made any sense. And then the offense was designed, and it was time to implement. What did you guys see? The worst I have ever seen no doubt. I couldn’t recognize an NFL offense in any of those early games. Look at the plays they had to choose from, no matter who calls it they were drawing from a pretty dry well.

Man, just started watching the replay of Colts/Texans. I really want to know who was on board now. Just the level of pissed off. I can’t say I knew Stroud would do what he is doing the first year, but I can say I knew who wouldn’t be doing it.

That's one way to interpret it. There is something to that. His footwork should get everyone that okayed his selection fired, and himself unpicked. It was there when they selected him. And I can’t think of a single worse example of someone ‘dropping’ back in such a way. Honestly. (and we aren’t to the shifting from drop to being in position to throw yet, that’s just half so far). I bet maybe two people thought it could be fixed and a couple more agreed with the boss because they saw what happened when you didn’t. I remember a breakdown of Stroud’s footwork and whoever did it was very impressed. Called it special. ::::headbang::::

That guy is even a bigger dumbass than Mac. They both have their heads so far up BY9’s ass they can’t find their way out.

I'd make him buy a seat.

The 300 yard game, that apparently proved all Young doubters everywhere wrong (idiots!), what was the main difference I thought I was seeing? Young pulling the trigger. There is a reason he is trigger shy. His processor knows he is having problems with the speed of the defenders because of the time his balls stay in the air. It doesn’t compute into a good outcome. edit: it is a lot less the bad WRs than people are claiming. You can have 300 yard games with them.

Some wives probably bitch at home, but if you can avoid Tepperer on game days the stadium isn’t so bad.

I have a tough time figuring how a 1st time OC for the most nothing offense in the league gets any love at all. They produce very little. Piniero is about the only thing to fear. Yet there he is in the polls. Strange and mixed up times. Brown could be good or okay, maybe. He is gonna go as far as his QB goes. I will credit him for being a running back and therefore innately possessing a belief in having a strong running game. So, some hope. I have at least seen some under center. And they seem to know that the end zone is the goal, and they have clear premeditated intent to at least try to throw N>S in that general direction.

So I was listening to Will Brinson interviewed on FNZ and he said - hope I get this straight not his exact words - that the video guy in Jax- whatever fan video they got of interaction with Lord Tepper and his subjects - that there is audio of Tepper in the owner’s box loudly complaining about what Fitterer had done to the team. Maybe start about 3:50 into it to get straight to what I am referencing https://wfnz.com/category/wfnz-podcasts/the-mac-bone-podcast/

No. Exclamation point no! Man, this is so easy to see - people are getting a crick in their neck trying to not look at it. Just look at his pro day when it was set up for him as easy as you please like taking candy from a baby conditions, you will see, or should see, warnings. And think back to the first negative reports from camp: when were they? When the pads went on and there was pressure. More warning signs. It was Bryce Young looks good... and then pads are on and it isn’t that any more.

Honestly all you Bryce stans are easy to see through. It was a mistake and you won’t own it.

Reich was not as bad as he looked here, he got the shaft and responded with a shaft of his own. Took it to Tepper for fuging him over in his last HC opportunity. Good for him. No coach in his right mind takes that player at that price, if they take him at all. That player was forced on the coach by whoever, because I will never believe an ex QB and lifer in the NFL wants to deal with the expectations for, vs the shortcomings of a Bryce Young.

Which deserves to happen. Infamy for those responsible.

Bozeman is about average I think. He probably isn’t the 1st guy you call when you need him to ball out at his job Plus make everyone he interacts with better too. He needs to be with one of those players. 2 or 3 three things come to mind about this year: he has a newborn in his house doesn’t he? And a newborn at work. Make that 4 newborns, one at his home and you know he isn’t getting his rest...and he is literally surrounded on three sides at work with the guards he has to contend with, and of course the QB. Now there seem to be snap/exchange issues to address too.

Yes, p-claw, only a couple people. And the Ravens are getting maximum return right now, but this guy really hadn’t brought home any bacon worth that amount for that length of time, and had a worrisome injury history if I am remembering right. And do remember the playoff version of him. A question yet to be resolved. And he has to stay healthy and produce at high levels for the length of the deal.

Want needs to be tied to reason though. Like, you can want to win Powerball. Do you expect to win? I’d like for him to be that guy. Do I expect it? Obviously from my posts, no. Now as far as what is said here, Bryce Young never told me I was an idiot for thinking he shouldn’t be the pick. That was posters here. It isn’t hating him to negatively comment on his football ability. And I can say something good without it meaning I love him.

I would probably argue that the definition of great changes depending on who is doing the defining, and how they feel about who they are applying it to. If we replace great with NFL level, it is a lot easier to concede that he had a good day. I could root for him as an underdog but, he is no underdog. I mean, this guy had the golden ticket laid on him in high school, he is the media and corporate pick. And I looked and didn’t see why at a glance. So I started looking. Performance only. Serious questions. I believe they are legit and I believe they have manifested on the field. Which brings us to the crossraods here. I never under any circumstances wanted to take a player that so much had to be done to accomodate them, it is about that simple. At that position for what they paid, it was insanity masquerading as ‘we are smarter than you’. Now they are stuck with a job on the line life or death type of situation for a skill set that is a lot closer to what you find in the bottom of the 1st through about the 3rd round. And I feel like that is generous. He has displayed grit and toughness, and I like a lot of what I hear (have never listened to a post game pc, it is other stuff), but it will take a lot more than that to make that arm stretch the field. It is like 2/3 or 3/4 or 7/8 whatever fraction you prefer, short of average. That will not go away. It has to be accounted for. There are things we will simpy never see as long as he is quarterback. Speaking of… I realy loved the sneak fwiw. Favorite play.

He played well. What it looked like to me in general, overall, is that he threw the ball with people on the target. Stuff that people were claiming was covered before (“where do you expect him to throw it?”), he was targeting. Finally. And completing which was the best part. I still have many doubts but he did look better. Big picture: I mean, great, yes, they scored 30 and the D wasn’t in on it. This loss seems to fit as a win in people’s minds so it qualifies for stuff you think and say and hear after wins. One of them is the bad stuff doesn’t seem as bad when you win. And that is true. Easier to live with. But it is still there. That team Green Bay fielded on D wasn’t very good. So what this means who knows. At least the kid had a decent game. We’ll soon see if it was progress. Refs though… have to agree with those complaining about that lost challenge of the deciding play. Not a catch.

Haven’t watched the game.

You aren’t making a connection between what we watched all year and his abilities. Or the limitations imposed by his skill set. Those aren’t in question and don’t need answering. We should discuss what he Can do. What does that look like?

Why go through that pain? We know he sucks. You are now forcing a second coach to try ands make him into something.

3rd rounders grow and develop.
