Most will not be upset about winning, despite what you think. 

I think most are also smart enough to see through what he is. It really didn't tale long to see it. But, I am sure "head in the sand" is nice.

You know we can add 1 healthy guy that is here and we probably win games.  This team wins with a healthy CMC.  Big if, but it is a fact

Well we largely haven't, given that we are 27-31 in games he plays in his career.

That's basically the issue with RB's in general in the modern era of the NFL. They can help you win but they very rarely win on their own.

I am glass half full…I will just believe we are getting better albeit slowly and see how things go.  No sky is falling here

I hoping for the combination of more experienced play caller,  better Oline, and some health luck with CMC will Atleast make the offense look better..

From what I've seen this place has always been a whining forum.

When we're losing, sure.

But the leadership of this team has made everything worse and it's really taking a toll on a lot of us. I can't remember a time that so many fans were so disillusioned by this team. This is by far the worst funk I've seen here since I joined in '05 (or was it '04?).

The leadership has absolutely changed completely from last season.  We are writing them off before they ever get a shot?  Changes have been implemented.

I don't share that view largely due to the people in charge(Tepper/Rhule) being so obviously out of their depth.

Then you consider how poorly the last two offseasons have gone(and sadly looking like a third is likely), I am not buying the "improvements." 

I definitely hope I am wrong about the latter part because if I am not, this current rebuild is gonna look like child's play.

I don't think you are understanding what we mean by leadership. Rhule is reportedly notorious for micromanaging, so changing some parts underneath him aren't likely to have a big impact. He is still the guy calling the shots on personnel and schemes. He still dictates that. 

That is what we mean by leadership. The guy who we literally signed a contract that said he is basically in charge of all of it.

Until that changes, and we won't know that immediately, then why would it matter what random assortment of people are underneath him? How are those guys supposed to move the needle?

I don't trust the leadership of this team. Why would I? I haven't seen any positive results. Won't know if those hires are good until we see results.

And even then, this is stil clueless Rhule's team.

That is a tall order without a competent QB(much less HC). Sadly the better OL is not guaranteed yet. We hope that is the case.

I will say there will be no excuse for the offense NOT looking better. None.

Joe Brady for McAdoo is a big upgrade IMO.  Brady was ridiculous.  Rhule said we were going to rush the ball more and Brady just throws it constantly.  Guess what he fired his ass.  Not like Rhule is sitting around doing nothing

I want to believe that but we don't know that. This board jerked off all over having a genius like Brady on board. Even into the 2021 season. 

It's not like McAdoo was a guy that teams were pining after. He was basically just a consultant because of how poor his last stint was in the NFL. So, I am not gonna rejoice on this guy until it shows consistent and at least AVERAGE results on the field. I have EXTREMELY low expectations, so he shouldn't be able to perform worse than those.

    • Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.
    • Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on. 
    • Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
