If you've played a professional sport you should definitely be ineligible. Weinke was so old in college because he'd been trying to make it as a professional baseball player first. He played five or six years of minor league baseball.

The Miami dude? Bro won a challenge to get a ninth year of NCAA eligibility. A NINTH year? WTF??? This guy should have all the degrees by now.

Call it whatever you want, I doubt the folks who don't know where their next paycheck is coming from much care about the semantics.

Just seems like outright good old fashioned union busting right out in the open. This will be interesting.

Is it true or not? I wish we would've had an opportunity to see more of Dalton to have a bigger sample size. I don't hate Bryce. He seems like a truly decent young man. I do hate that we traded a bunch of assets to take him #1 overall but that's not on him.

A year ago they were one of the very worst teams in the league and we were a run of the mill bad team. Both looking for a new coach and a new QB. They made smart moves and are now in the playoffs with a playoff win under their belts. Meanwhile, we blundered spectacularly and cemented ourselves as the worst team in the league. Oh wee mayne. Brutal.

Our #1 overall pick that we traded significant assets to acquire got sacked 62 times. He was 29th in yards per game. 32nd in yards per completion. 33rd in air yards per attempt. 28th in TDs. 30th in QBR. 32nd in passer rating. Bryce was near the absolute bottom of the league in every metric for a QB. But he only missed one game due to injury (when his over the hill journeyman backup put up our best passing game of the season) and you want to spike the football over that. You're making a complete ass of yourself.

You gotta be incredibly tone deaf to think this is a mic drop moment.

Pocket time is a key indicator, nothing more nothing less. Just like completion percentage is a key indicator of passing accuracy but doesn't tell the full story. No single metric ever tells a full story.

They both had terrible OL play. Washington's was worse IMO, but they were also hampered by Bieniemy completely abandoning the run for huge swaths of practically every game.

Shaw seems like an extremely obvious Rooney Rule check box. Out of coaching last year and his last two years at Stanford he was 3-9 in back to back years.

We're not giving up on Bryce yet even though I think we've seen enough to at least not pass on someone at #33 if we really like them. I absolutely think that if we don't see a big leap from Bryce in year two you have to move on.

https://www.fantasypros.com/nfl/advanced-stats-qb.php Pocket time. CJ Stroud 2.5 seconds. Bryce Young... also 2.5 seconds.

Mac Jones is 6'3" and I'd put his arm roughly on par with Bryce's.

My oh my oh narratives shift

It's not just the size issue. It's the size plus the subpar arm plus mechanical issues. Bryce could be 6'3" and he'd still suck.

Remember in the preseason when Icky looked like a speed bump and Bryce looked like a JV QB playing against the varsity squad and I said this was hugely concerning and y'all laughed and said all serious fans know preseason doesn't matter and how much better we'd look when we started game planning? I remember.

I'm sure Tepper isn't ready to give up on Bryce yet. But he has to accept that we need to put the best possible situation around him next year with a legit vet backup pushing him and make a call. If he looks like trash again you just gotta move on. And you can't rage fire more coaches mid-season because Bryce looks like trash. You just have to accept that he's trash at that point.

It's beyond obvious at this point that we're completely fuged until David Tepper realizes that he is our football problem. I just don't think he will. He came in with an overbearing, micromanaging reputation and that has certainly proven accurate.

Sounds like Ron wants to keep coaching and would be open to being a DC. https://www.nfl.com/news/ron-rivera-still-interested-in-coaching-enjoyed-return-to-defensive-play-calling-in-2023 Before anyone suggests it, do realize that Washington was dead last in the league on both yardage and points allowed by pretty comfortable margins in both categories.

Well, based on our history under Tepper, what we're doing is preparing to colossally fug up.

Fitterer's 1st rounders: 2021 (#8 overall): Jaycee "IR" Horn 2022 (#6 overall): Ickey "Speed Bump" Ekwonu 2023 (#1 overall, plus #1 overall in 2024): Bryce "Super Processor" Young

Not as a GM.

I don't think he has the experience yet but he's one to watch out for in the future. Coming to work for Tepper would be career suicide though.

I had to Google Edgecombe County. There ain't no mountains in no Edgecombe County. LOL!
