I thought it was insane to fire Tepperer and then hand the reins over to his hand picked right-hand man in the first place. *I just realized I typed "Tepperer" instead of "Fitterer". LOL! Fug it, I'm leaving it. Seems extremely fitting.

It's not about opening the checkbook. It's that veteran pro bowl QBs aren't available. Their teams aren't parting ways with them.

Oh, I agree. I've said I'm all for bringing in someone like Howell or Jameis. IMO, when you don't have a QB you have to pursue all potential avenues. Look at the draft, look at free agency, look at the trade market. Sometimes you luck into an answer where you don't expect it. We didn't truly expect Jake to be the answer. I don't think the Lions expected Goff to be their answer when they got him included in the Stafford trade, they probably just wanted him as a bridge QB. Just look for ways to improve your roster. It doesn't seem like we do that. We think we have boxes checked and just don't even look to potentially improve. Oh, we have Andy Dalton we're good at backup QB.

The problem is that finding a vet is probably an even taller task than finding a QB in the draft. Teams aren't in the habit of letting go of serviceable QBs. There aren't any vets available who their team hasn't decided that either A) this guy isn't a starter or B) this guy is washed. That's pretty much the entirety of veteran QBs that are available. It's not about next season. Forget about next season. Our biggest issue i. The Teller era is that we've constantly been focused on how we can be the best bad team we can be next season. This has clouded our ability to actually try to build a roster that can sustain success. It's just constant knee jerk band aid approaches.

I think Bijan Robinson is gonna run wild on us.

I wanted Watts bad.

I don't know right now. Not super impressed with anyone at the moment but there's a lot of football yet to play.

I think McCarthy has the right mentality to make it as a QB I'm just not sure he's a good enough QB to make it as a QB in the NFL. He's just not an NFL level passer right now. His accuracy is really sporadic and you can tell he's really straining when he has to put some mustard on it and then his accuracy issues show up even more. He's got a lot of improving to do as a pure thrower of the football if he's gonna make it.

A real barn burner of a game this evening. 7 combined FGs. Zero TDs. LOL

I'm ready to see anything other than Bryce Young.

If he's gonna last in the league it's probably as a gadget player. The problem is that he hasn't shown much of anything with the ball in his hands either.

And if you're gonna draft a project, draft a young one not a guy who's already as old on draft day as a lot of second and even third year pros.

Or the last two minutes when somehow you actually shockingly have a chance to win the game and the refs are trying to drag you across the finish line and yet you still refuse to cooperate.

How is it bashing? What physical asset does Bryce have that isn't subpar at the NFL level? What physical asset does he have that is superior to Murray's?

Murray pretty much has all the tools minus size. Big difference from Bryce who has none of the tools plus none of the size and while similar height I'd bet Murray has at least 20 pounds on Bryce, maybe more.

An elite QB is a guy that no matter what else is going on with roster holes, injuries, whatever makes you think going into any game "we gotta shot because we have THAT GUY playing QB". It's pretty much that simple IMO.

I think we should start using the Wonderlic for our front office hires. Why they thought drafting a guy who did absolutely nothing in college until he was a super senior granted an extra year due to COVID is baffling. Had his college eligibility ended when it should have I'm not even sure if he would've gotten any UDFA camp invites.

Are you suggesting taking Joey Aguilar at #1 overall?

That sucks. I hate injuries whether a guy is good or not or even on our team. Injuries just suck.

And the Panthers were marketing him like that this off-season too. The only problem is that he's an athlete who sucks at playing football.

Putting the INT on Legette isn't fair but yeah, he sucks. No arguing against that.

He doesn't panic when he thinks there's nothing to play for. He panics when he thinks there is. We have to move on at QB.

It doesn't matter what Morgan and Canales know if Tepper is still a true believer.

Oh, that's gonna change. All the Panthers are gonna do is rave about Bryce's 300+ yards and 3 TDs and his HUGE second half comeback conveniently avoiding the hard truths about his performance.

They had to do something. I mean, they looked like possibly the worst power conference team in the country. They're not just 0-3. They've lost every game by two scores averaging a near 20 point deficit per loss and seem to be getting worse every week having just lost by 19 to Old Dominion. That level of play is gonna decimate your recruiting a lot more than pulling the plug on it.
