Jake is a Tepper employee. Blowing sunshine. I managed to let it play for a while but it was too much false positive. And the nicest guy, he wouldn’t say the truth if it wasn’t pretty.

I think if he comes it might be as head football guy, not head coach. Not sure how I feel about it except anyone that could interfere with Tepper’s meddling would be better than what we have. And he is a killer cheater, hates to lose. With our luck he would get nailed and there would not be any destruction of the evidence. Who knows. I doin’t know the point of making him coach at his age.

The dumbassery of not hiring Wilks, looming large considering the player support he had. I get that he had shortcomings and that the Tampa game defense he put out there was a huge dent in his cred. I don’t know what went wrong, I do know there were guys playing coverage that were pretty big handicaps. And you want to say that he would learn, but he did not learn in that game. Still, I think he isn’t a guy to not learn, and the difference in the players was really noticeable. He was damned sight better gamble than that quarterback.

There is no way Stroud doesn’t make WRs better than Young does.

I don’t understand thinking you will always be limited by this player, but want to give him a shot. They are major deficiencies. Height. He can’t see where he is throwing, and the arm is just not enough to make up for anything at all. I don’t get it.

Poor Atlanta fans, won’t be comfortable at all. Good.

I think you have get a guarantee in writing that Tepper keeps his separation and hands off and you can’t be fired for two years at least. GM, HC, whatever the interview. Or wait for another job.

In the NYC media, today, you would just as likely get the victim angle on why he sucks. They’d hit the coach really hard and the owner really hard but he would have to do something to piss them off before they would turn it on him. I would imaging two inch headlines if he got a new position coach and it wasn’t working out. Who is it now? Caldwell? They’d have the Caldwell watch and every failure of any kind it would be someone not named Bryce at fault. The Bryce is Wrong! No… It would be like: Caldwell Fails Test Veteran Coach Re-Assigned Who’s Next? Tepper Gathering Intel on Doug Flutie And so on with the sidebar links….

We'd have been better off trying to use all that coaching power on someone with tools and size rather than pouring it into a 5’10” hole.

That's just total horseshit. Nice fantasy you have going there with those college clips in your posts. Live there, it is a much friendlier place than NFL for junior.

He absolutely gamed the combine/pro day thing and everyone knew he was doing it. So that makes it right? I get that he isn’t alone and was likely coached through that, but…. That’s a flag for me. I’d prefer a straight shooter. I am not saying it is a deal breaker but you can’t not notice that he is playing you, and expects you to let him get away with it. And they did. That is where I place my wrath, the gullible leaders of the franchise and the people who feed the beast David Tepper. And look at what Randy Mueller had to say about it all.

If you think that poo is worth your time, I guess. I don’t see it. Also, might be nice if we had talent evaluators that weren’t dumb enough to overlook it like they were some stan that posts here. That stuff isn’t worth fixing on him, it is just too hard to fix. And at best, if you manage to fix it yu still only have a historically small and athletically below NFL average player at your most critical position. It just should never have been done. If the kid had just made the league and not been put in this position of playing right away he might have found his way on to a field when he was maybe a few years into a backup career, and more ready to do something with the chance..

I have yet to see one person that is on his jock even acknowledging he has this tippy toe crap and a skip step extra move before throwing anything he needs to have some heat on it like on a deep ball or an out with fast NFL defenders racing his ball to the target. Until it is some vague “footwork” issue. Too much arc = too much defender gap-closing time. Some of these plays are made on a paper thin margin time wise and that extra .3 seconds is a stride. Maybe less, it happens so fast. There are probably three steps they can make up in his throws over 20 yards or so.

If most of the NFL was in on him being NFL Number 1 dude, then most of the NFL are idiots. I honestly don’t get allowing a guy with his size issues being the top of the heap especially not having more impressive physical traits to offset the disadvantage. His lack of arm strength limits things situationally especially off schedule. WTF was there to like that wins games in the NFL? People are nuts.

I like that he is old school. Football is old school. But that mofo is a cheater and a miserable fug to boot.

Yeah that whole unidentifiable offense with no deep throws and no under center and bringing in a body double to sneak it, that is what it was.

He throws to a spot he tries to visualize because he can’t see where he is throwing.

I think somebody said it: don’t reply, the thread will fall down the list.

No thanks, and I think he was one of the best I saw play in 60 years. And he played for us I love him but no. Let him be like player rep relations or something lol.

It isn’t just Fitterer. That would be great but that is not it. Too many wild QB pursuits, and you know where that is coming from.

You have to have new eyes.

You can make it easier to pass block by being less predictable, which the running game can set up. It doesn’t fix it but the kid lollygagged for most of the year on these dropbacks and they have been put in the worst position. Help them.

I thought the knock was he doesn’t have NFL talent. Arm strength is not sufficient, athleticism is average at best, definitely height is an issue. Lack of it.

I would bench the quarterback for the rest of the year ands tell him he has to win a fair competition for the job if he wants it back, starting right now. And say to anyone who cares: every other job is also now up for grabs. May the best player win. If I get to say these things, Fitterer is gone, so that will help.

Clean them all out. The expansion team was better than this. Fire ‘em all. If the new HC wants to re-hire one then, fine.
