Now you're talking about the media. You are trying to blame anything and everything except the Panthers for selecting the wrong qb.

So he did that to fool the Panthers into drafting him 1st overall? How dumb to you think these nfl folks are anyway? If anything, that was a reason NOT to take him at all. Sheesh you guys will find anything to blame him with for being taken 1st overall. You can blame the Panthers for that.

Yall must be really bored.

That's the teams fault.

That why I said he gets at least 2 seasons. They will have to show progress by the end of season 2 or season 3 is not guaranteed.

The offense seemed predicated on a short passing game. I remember Frank saying they wanted to take a couple of deep shots per game. It appeared every time they tried,which wasn't often, it result in a sack or incomplete. The offense was complete garbage and I blame the play designs more than the receivers. It was just plan garbage.

And those people would be wrong in doing so. It's not the players fault where they are drafted and what was given up to acquire them. It's up to the team to maximize that investment as best they can.

Too much is being made of his draft position. He didn't draft himself. His arm strength is good enough to play in this league. No it not the best, that was already known. Just because he was overdrafted does not mean he has to make a shitty team better to be the number 1 pick. The Panthers made him that but it's obvious he wasn't going to be from the start. He needs more to work with to make the investment have a better shot a working out.

I took notice to how his demeanor switched to an aggressive dead serious tone when he said something about "It's all about alignment, plain and simple". With emphasis on the plain and simple. He said that as he poked the table kinda hard with a look in his eyes like he was ready to hit someone.

I think it will largely depend on what the rest of the roster looks like in year 2 and how competitive they are. If I were a betting man I would say he gets at least 2 full seasons. I hope he pulls it off myself. I like underdog stories and his certainly is. If he somehow wins with Bryce Young I will become a believer.

Obviously you don't. It takes courage to face your demons. He's man enough to admit his sins publicly. Who am I to judge this man?

It's called atonement for your sins. It's a Christian thing so not everyone understands that. In his case it is to right wrongs against his wife and help others who are struggling with their own demons. I admire his courage and commitment to being a better man. He who is without sin cast the first stone.

It didn't take long for this thread to turn to sht

I'm glad he did. Quite a few of us have been saying the same thing for a few years now.

I don't think so. Dan is not a bad coach and Washington could have done much worse. But like all coaches it will depend on his drafting prowess and his assistant coaches choices. I hope he kicks Dallas's ass twice a year.

Rebuilding, not retooling. There's no tools to retool. The only tool on the team is Tepper.

Either way this team needs to build an offense whether Young is the future or not. The next 2 offseasons should be dedicated to doing just that.

We could trade him and Burns to the Rams as a package deal. The would make everyone happy.

Most of our issues have been bad drafting and poor cap management. Then coaching staff or the lack thereof. The only way to fix this is with better decision making by the FO. If that is improved it will shorten the time it would take for the coaching staff to make something out of this mess.

Bad GM's has been our main problem.

Scouts don't push anyone. They just present their ranking based on what the team is looking for. Fitterer still chose who he wanted. If the scouts made the selection then what did they need Fitterer for?

TMJ has been a disappointment and should have been cut already. Chark hasn't been worth our time or wasn't part of whatever plan they had based on his usage. Neither should be part of the future but may be necessary to keep due to lack of options available in the offseason. Both should be replaced at the earliest opportunity. I would take my chances with UDFA's over both of them.

It's not the scouts. It's who makes the decisions on who to draft.

That would be great if it came true. They will have to hit on all their acquisitions and Young would have to play up to his potential to get more than 5 I'm afraid. I would not be surprised to see them have the same or barely better record next season. Dan will have to make better decisions than has been made in prior years. It's going to take awhile to correct that even if he wasn't necessarily responsible for the bad decisions made by his bosses. It's going to take time. I'm ready for it if that is what really happens. I'm skeptical Tepper has the patience to see it through. I know most fans don't have it.
