This is why I give up on just about all parlays except ones like you just mentioned. I just stick to singles and keep rolling money over on the ones I hit.

Well I’ve always had the feeling that the NFL influences certain games to match their preferred storyline. I think before sports betting was so widespread it was harder to sort out and less people cared. I think the bigger betting gets, it will eventually come to an end. As more money pours into it, more rocks are going to get turned over and I think it’ll actually make the sport a lot better in the long run.

I do agree with you on that. To me, he was purely just brought in to run scout team. Otherwise there wouldn’t have been all the panic to sign White when they did.

I have mixed views on it. I know it was still going on behind the scenes prior to the big rise the last few years. I do think that it will eventually stomp out some of the corruption once regulations develop more and are enforced more. I think there is some shady poo still going on, especially in the NFL but I just don’t think anyone has been held accountable yet. I think in the next 3-5 years there will be a big bust in the NFL where there was collusion at high levels to influence the outcome of certain games/seasons. And when that happens there will be a lot of pissed off big money that will root a lot of the BS out.

In all reality, we all pretty much knew 6-9 wins was the next step this year and that we aren’t a playoff team. That’s were we are on pace to be. It is frustrating because we could be exceeding those expectations if not for just a couple of things.

I agree. But if your house is flooded, your garage door won’t open, you have a missing piece of vinyl siding, and your front porch needs swept. The focus is probably going to be on unflooding your house first, nobody wants to talk about the porch being dirty or vinyl siding. Bryce is the largest issue (not the only one) and improving the QB position impacts this team much more than solving any of our other problems at the moment, except maybe Tepper but we can’t control that.

But he is the biggest problem. You solve that, and then you address the next biggest problem, and so on and so on. Right now, he’s 2021/2022 Matt Rhule. When he’s gone, it’ll be Evero, or Morgan, or the WRs or something else.

Because it’s obviously the biggest problem. If you could map the Panthers issues into a Pareto chart, Bryce would be the first bar and it would be as long as the paper.

What adjustments can you make when your players are limited? Everyone knows Bryce can’t push the ball vertically downfield. The Saints literally set their defense to stop the run and short pass and make Bryce do that and he couldn’t. WTF is Canales supposed to do other than bench Bryce? Give him a robotic arm? Run HB pass every play? Design a brand new playbook just for this week? I’m at a loss. Bryce’s limitations are the exact same as Cam’s in 2018 after he hurt his shoulder and couldn’t throw further than 20 yards the rest of the season. That’s what they have to game plan with each week. Yall really think a guy who had Russell Wilson, Geno Smith, and Baker Mayfield doesn’t know how to call vertical pass plays??

If Bryce hadn’t been with Saban and had all the exposure at Alabama I doubt he gets drafted before Day 3 and probably isn’t in the NFL at this point.

Tide is definitely shifting. A lot of Bryce defenders across different social media are finally giving up on him. We we are 1-8 his play can hide behind the rest of the team. We start winning and it’s harder to disguise. A lot of his fans were waiting on him to deliver and were disappointed. And that’s because in the end, fans care more about winning than individual players.

Yeah complete turnover next offseason. Sign a young guy, draft a guy, sign a vet. Have a true competition through preseason and training camp and see what happens.

No because we don’t need one. This team team would be 7-2 right now with an average QB.

I’m going back to calling him Turnover Fred. He almost got away from it.

No he doesn’t make the game plan. But he definitely limits it and there’s only so much you can accomplish with him. So it’s hard to ask Canales to make a game plan with a limited player. When I moved out on my own years ago, My Dad gave me 3 things: a roll of duct tape, WD-40, and a pair of pliers. He said you can fix most things with those 3 things long enough to get you by. We are asking Canales to game plan with just the duct tape.

Hard to blame the defense though. They did limit them to 17 points and the offense turned the ball over twice.

Idk a lot of people are finally giving up on him. Canales ultimately had the approval to do it last year when he did because Andy was going to remain the starter until he hurt his hand in the car wreck. I don’t think Tepper really cares. He was probably just as pissed today, tbh. And when I say I don’t think Tepper cares I just mean, if he was good with it before he probably would be now. The FO is probably just trying not to have another Darnold/Mayfield situation and are overly cautious. Tepper has no problem turning on people.

Hopefully Dan put him in a closet and told him not to come out until he has a list of QB options this offseason. In his defense, last offseason was his first one.

“that’s a demon, that’s our franchise QB right there”

Sounds like there were people not taking the Saints seriously and it was called out all week.

I mean there’s nothing to really discuss. The pass game has been garbage all season (longer than that really). The Saints sold out to stop the run and Bryce couldn’t push the ball downfield per usual. Defense kept up as long as they could. End of Story.

He will go somewhere like San Francisco, KC, or the Rams and be a long term back up for a really good coordinator.

He’s not even here anymore lol

I bet if we had the Canales from that book we wouldn’t be 5-5

He’ll have a mediocre performance and then a game winning drive and everyone will forget then he will do this again in about a month
