Yeah that was what was reported.

You can refine the point with that picture but the overall issue is that Tepper was tired of waiting.

That’s like saying Vance could tell Trump what to do or Harris could tell a Biden what to do. Or the Captain is telling the Admirwl what to do. They are there to Help facilitate their higher up’s agenda. Dan needs to stand or fall on decisions that are clearly his to make. Just my opinion but it is an informed opinion, having been in charge of stuff and also having been a supporting player for someone that is in charge. You can question them but if they say they are doing whatever, you aren’t stopping it and if you make an issue of it you are likely going to be replaced.

See, Canales worried about feelings when the players know the deal. I don’t care that much because we weren’t winning anything this year anyway but it hurt us for two games before figuring out what he was supposed to do in response to Rico being dominant. Hope he learns something from this. You play the best players. Not your favorite players.

You were making great sense to me until you accused Canales of bringing Beyce to a system that is not what Bryce is good at. It was the system he ‘cooked’ in last year. With another 1st round WR to boot. Bryce was good at college football on a team that had superior talent Are we supposed to do that poo? Because it doesn’t work in tne NFL. He hasn’t made it work in the NFL after trying to play like he is still at Alabama for 2.5 years. Bryce needs to play the NFL game. That is the job. Can he do it or not do it?

Deciding that we *had* to draft a QB in the first and we had to do it now is what got us into 3 years of misery. We finally get all of our own picks next year. Don’t forget that.

We would have had to sit through that game no matter what. Like winter, it was coming. As bad as Dalton was Bryce has matched him before. He has had some horrid games. And I don’t think he would have made a lot of difference against the Bills, honestly. Bryce needs to play to prove me and most other people wrong; he can’t do it sitting down. And against good defenses and good teams not just the mirror images of our sorry asses. And if he doesn’t do it this year the people in charge are double fools if they give him more years.

Those are pretty much the talking points about the loss. Maybe injuries. But they were more just icing on the cake. Not reasons.

This QB salary market, and for that matter every other position, does not need to be equal across the league like the NBA tries to do it. No way an average player on a bad team deserves the deserves near the compensation level of the top players simply because he is a 1st stringer. But these agents are all about ‘setting the market’ as if they are steak or beer or an automobile that gives you consistent consumer experience. If that makes any sense.

Yep. We I mean different posters maybe even you too touched on this when I was on a rant about ‘SEC success equals NFL success’ as pertained to pre draft Bryce evaluation. I was ball parking most SEC defenses as having one or two future NFL draftees. You are reinforcing the actual reality here.

You and and I and many others have come to that determination, but I do t think the decision makers are caught up to us yet. They have to be hit over the head with the truth. Now I will say that by the same token if I am wrong, I need him to hit me over the head before I will pay attention.

Yeah I have seen more than enough of it but the idea is maybe he can upgrade his game or alternately, provide evidence that he can’t.

You could tell I didn’t really do my homework just jumped in with a couple of ideas, good job. Drinking tonight so, maybe in the morning.

Looks like, neutered runs downhill.

Oh yeah, teams are goi g to be able to shut our running game down, especially since they don’t have to fear our passing very much. That is coming. And I want to see it happen and see how Bryce deals with it. We are still better off with Rico as lead dog.

They were in such a bad position on Moton to start with, I am leaving Tillis off my poo list for now.

I am not totally convinced he wasn’t held out this past week because it was at home. I think it is safe for him to suck on the road. Home fans getting restless is a bad look.

This could be NASA level complex. So many variables. Thought about including things like previous year’s record of the team they go to? Tiers of that? Because some years have a 4 win team picking first probably. I haven’t looked but there would variance there from draft to draft. Guys that fail initially but don’t sink and bloom later, which we have a couple of those in the league right now. Whether they sit and learn or are thrown into the fire? Like I said there are so many angle to consider. Those are just a couple of random situational factors.

I prefer the compartmentalized experience with a community dedicated to one subject. In our case our football team. Such as it is these last few years. These all in one platforms lack the community feel that you get here as people have been interacting for better or worse for a period of years Glad it did t die

I would really like to know what Morgan thinks about it today. He used to work in Buffalo and is pals with Beane. It has to be embarrassing and when people are embarrassed they normally respond to see that that doesn’t happen again.

Yeah most of us are typing the same poo re Canales and Rico. He better get his act together. Prior to the game he was all in on the series for each back. After the game he did allow that he would look at it. Subtke shift may mean nothing may mean he accepts that it isn’t the way.

Has a big reply typed out and it lost in that crash. I can’t even remember where I was in it. Anynow I’ll just agree we were out coached. I knew we would I mean the other side is one of the most experienced coaches in the league. But Canales never got to the place where I figured he would get outsmarted.or show his greenness. because he outcoaches himself in the first series. We can assume all the bad Andy would have happened anyway but if he had done like people have said he should with Rico Dalton is handing the ball off not trying to be mobile or rolling out or any of that horseshit. sigh…

Ageee except for the QB. which maybe you weren’t including.

It is a lot of the mentor thing. It is a lot of the comfort level the staff had with him also, probably, but I believe what is behind it for real is they don’t want people chanting ‘we want the backup‘ in BOA. And they way the QB has played at times, if they had a promising younger player there that would damn well happen. Fortunately for ownership the team and Bryce have done well enough at home this year to keep the wolf away from the door in that regard. In fact, having seen Bryce play as poorly as Andy, he was ‘fortunate’ to not be thrown out there yesterday. Because that was a much better team than we have been facing plus it looked like Shaq knew everything that was coming. It could easily have been the same type of result if Bryce was in the game.

Out of pie so must quote and agree. Yeah those are the constraints. We really need that situation to resolve itself.
