Let him keep dropping. He would be a great 3rd day long shot that you could keep around a couple of years before finding out.

For the right price… but if they did they would be pulling a Tepper, because they are trying to evaluate Shough and taking his best WR away is making it hard on him.

see we are just not going to agree - unless you change your mind lol. Mine isn’t changing without hard evidence that Morgan supported it like a puppy dog. He was the assistant. If he disagreed and said so, and they didn’t listen, he has to pick his battles. If he continued to oppose he is looking for work. He knows this stuff. I think he knows Bryce is a super long shot just because he faced NFL QBs and probably would have salivated at the thought of Bryce on the other side in his playing days. Anyway I am going to judge him on what he has done since he’s been the man with the title. I also would bet a stack that there were conditions placed on him and on Canales re Bryce Young. Can’t prove it. I am not supporting the Brooks pick, and rationalizing the XL pick. And rationalizing the Brooks pick to an extent, on the (assumed by me) mandate that was a condition of the hiring. Which was ‘sell out’ to make Bryce work. This year. Now. (2024) That is what those top two picks were. IMO. They failed, id judged today. I think Morgan is doing a great job really, once he got his feet under him and was allowed to do his job. Fixing this team while accommodating Tepper/Bryce, more than a two year fix. Anyhow I have beer to drink will check back later.

If anything, you use Chuba to get more for Rico - if you want to deal him. You say you can have Chuba but not Rico. Until they make that offer you want. If they don’t they don’t. Nothing lost.

You are too harsh. Owners tell GMs what to do all the time. It doesn’t make someone “unfit”. A man unfit for that job could not have had that 2025 draft. And I am not trying to be belligerent I certainly don’t feel belligerent, just trying to use some common sense. Tepper is the last guy that wants to give up on Young. The coach had WRs throwing fits on field and sidelines in view of everyone. He had to do it, but needed permission. I just can’t buy Tepper instigating that. Sorry.

Frank, ceding control of the defense in no way verifies that Tepper told Canales to bench Young. It certainly buttresses the idea that Canales would need permission to bench him but that is as far as you can take it. After that it is pure speculation and it doesn’t make sense.

Uhh, okay yes that happened. I didn’t like the pick either I am a 3rd or later RB guy. Always. Actually hated the CMC pick too. Hated the Stewart pick. No one wants to talk about trading the #39 in that draft and what he did with that. Got #52, #155, and the Rams 2025 2nd to boot. The 52 and 155 plus our 142 5th rounder to go up for a Brooks Everyone wants to forget about the 2025 2nd for that Rams trade which was used to move up for Scourton. That Rams trade down was a great deal for us.

You know we only have him for 9 games right?

I am definitely a Zavala skeptic. I thought he had fixed his issues which were substantial his first year, he was as bad as you will ever see. (But I think I was mistaken) I don’t know what they should have done with Motion. That contract was so bad, it seemed like lose him or work an extension. I do t think they were ready to replace him. My pint about depth is that we had some. That is mostly gone now too. And I was not a big supporter of giving 150 million to two guards. And you know why is was done, to prop up little man. The theme of the Panthers since they drafted him.

I mean, we had some depth at least. Had.

Yeah those were some games. I was fortunate to see LA vs Balt in 1966. Orioles swept them, I had tickets for games 3,4,5 in Baltimore. Had a big dog uncle up there and he hooked me up. 12 years old. It has been a Long time, it is hard to remember the games I only remember a few plays. The big ones. Games 3 and 4 were both 1-0. Game 5 would have been Koufax’s last start, he retired after the year. Game wasn’t ever played. My 12 year old ass was mad lol.

I didn’t know what you meant so, that was needed. Yeah that kind of culture is pretty toxic. If the HC is an offensive genius, okay, but he is a very weird duck. I saw him answering some questions a couple of years ago and he just didn’t seem like the head coach type. Off the wall answers.

I would do it for Jones, not for Bryce.

Franchise tag would be insanely expensive.

I think the people who think Tepper told Canales to bench Young have it wrong. Also they have it wrong claiming his postgame comments as proof. Coaches lie all the time about that stuff. Like owners lie about coaches. It even has a name: the dreaded vote of confidence. They are simply not going to tell you something like that before they talk to the player, number one. You don’t really need another reason but you might include he isn’t benching the kid without talking g to the owner that really had just hired him. I think he had to clear the benching with the owner. Without audio or video that includes audio of Tepper telling Canales to bench Bryce, I will never believe it happened like that.

Baseball, the time in between pitches gives you time to ponder the strategy as there is often a lot of it to consider. the DH has robbed the game of a good part of that. But a well pitched 1-0 game can be seen as boring, or full of drama depending on your perspective.

I read it in the Athletic, they said coach was safe for the season. Probably gone then though.

I feel bad for you that you don’t appreciate it. But it is your right.

I don’t feel like it will be as bad as last week but it’s hard to know what to expect. We have seen some old school ball and won with it. I don’t think we are good enough to win throwing it, but I don’t know their defense either.

I don’t understand your contention that Rico’s two great games or Daniel Jones and Taylor’s play have relevance to my point Every QB benefits from a great running back. No argument. The point was clear, teams crowd the near field vs Young same as they did with Cam after he lost his gun. Because? They don’t fear being beat deep.

Andy deflated the whole team last week. Which we have seen with Bryce too. Maybe Bryce comes out and runs those scripted plays for some points and sets a better tone. Maybe not.

I don’t want to dog Rodney too much. We went from 1-15 to 7-9 with him and it was Fox ball.

Players know. Sports, music, whatever. Good players know. Now, there are bunch of no playin’ people that don’t know they are no playin’ people, just like in all walks of life. The players know.

Bottom of the roster churn would be okay with me. If some trades are made some people will be waived/released. I was citing something in my SEC does not equal NFL arguments a couple of years back and it is the difference one year of NFL and the following offseason do for players. These guys are not going to be college players if they do it right, year two.

I know you have seen how I feel about it. Right there with you. I swear I was listening to the radio of our game and checking some game cast play by play and they do things like ‘deep incomplete 18 yards. I poo you not that is for real. I have no words or too many words.
