It’s a difficult position to be in trying to defend this team at any level, roster, coaching, front office or ownership.  I’m not even sure what needs to be fixed first because I’m not sure you can fix both the roster and coaching at the same time.

We either go cheap on the roster while trying to put together a competent staff/front office combo or we stick with the staff we have and retool the roster?

Continuity has to come from somewhere.  We can’t have constant change in all phases of this organization.

If I had to guess I’d say keep Canales and give him a chance to build the roster the way he wants.  QB being the most important position, he at least deserves to put “his” guy out there.  Best we can hope for is that he learns from his mistakes and figures it out.

The roster is so bad it’s going to take multiple years just to get back to a baseline of average starter talent with some competent back ups.  And that will require a competent FO… good lord we may never be good again.

it's going to require some people with NFL experience and a deep rolodex to fix.

Wasn’t this last season 🤔   I’m not saying Canales is the answer, but you have to let him and Morgan build their own roster for another full year at least.

Again, no one forced him to take the job. and again, no one else considered him for it. 

What coach that we interviewed this cycle would have succeeded with fixing Bryce?  Because it’s pretty clear that was a term of accepting the job and the organization was already committed to going this direction given the previous investment we made in him. And hey, he probably thought that there was some small chance that building up the little guys confidence like Mike McDaniel did for Tua would pay off, but it was pretty clear after game 2 that he realized it’s just not going to happen. He’s already told us he’s put Bryce back in blowouts to make sure that his 36 year old journeyman doesn’t  get hurt unnecessarily, which is the same thing as saying that IDGAF if this 23 year old number one overall pick gets Alex smithed on the artificial turf at BOA.

I work nights at the hospital and sometimes I have easy nights. 

what’s your reason for being awake at 1130?

It's not that late? Heck I didn't crack a beer open until 9:30. PM.

Yeah but we’ll never know what actually happened with reich, because I think at this point we all agree no former nfl player would have met Bryce and drafted him. 

I would 'so' love to hear Reich's version of the truth.

      If he tries to do that I have a feeling the league is gonna tell him to butt out.

      Bryce Young is HIM.

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      I think you are at a major advantage if you have the ability to run the football as a quarterback. It can mask a lot of issues. Much like RG3, or Anthony Richardson, immediate impact is a lot easier with a running QB. Anthony Richardson already appears to be a bust, despite him turning some heads early last year. Vince Young was a ROY. I do think Jayden is a lot better than a lot of those guys, but I think he's got a fair amount of development to do as well.  Stroud looks a lot better than Bryce, I won't dispute that, but he's taken a very big step back this year off of last year. Houston has a myriad of issues on the offensive side of the ball.  This is just a trend we seem to be seeing everywhere. Very few QB's are pro ready anymore, and just when we are ready to give up on a guy, he does the thing where he becomes competent, (not necessarily good). Sam Bradford, Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield, Geno Smith, Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota, and so on and so forth. The list of evidence is enormous. But to your point, the highest miss rate of any position in football is quarterback. The vast majority of them do not pan out. More than likely, that is the case here.
