It is still an influencing variable when contemplating maki g a change. The first question in that circumstance is do you know making a change will result in an upgrade? You don’t always. You might have a pretty meager list of candidates still. I think getting rid of Bryce would be a huge unfug of the candidate list. I think Morgan and Tillis look good and the roster isn’t like it was then, you give someone a chance to get their QB maybe the list looks better.

Signing maybe, Drafting, I wouldn't do it. If we're not utilizing a TE very much why waste a top pick for a position we don't utilize very well. Plus, I think we need to give Evans some time. He's has shown potential to be a really good TE.

First team to score a touchdown wins by the look of it.

This Miami kicker has been paid. SEC has opened that wallet

In this day and age those are so routine, they are about like due diligence. A precaution to make sure you aren’t missing something. They probably should shut him down if the season is decided.

Honestly, I will take Duke and Notre Dame if we get rid of both these two teams. Holy poo this is bad football.

The team is coming and is coming after your legs and head. It’s time to drop the gloves right off the bat and drop their asses.

Yeah, don't forget how insanely embarrassing that hiring cycle was. It was the who's who of candidates turning down even an interview. Then you hear that they thought Steichen was a bad interview despite clearly being a tremendously better coach in hindsight. Welcome to the Tepper Panthers.

The rams did the same thing against Seattle and it worked. But 9/10 it wont but the world is definitely evolving.

Glad I am entertaining you yuck yuck. I damned sure would rather watch him instead of Bryce every Sunday (and that goes for other QBs too). There is no way of knowing the record with him but I would think he could do better with this team than what we have.

Yeah, when it gets to that point of felony home invasion, it has crossed the line. Well. He will have many opportunities for cuddle time and more in prison.

maybe if we get todd bowles fired

I just think it is a little funny that there was some sort of talk about Duke belonged there since they were ACC champs. Wrong sport.

I don’t know at this point. I haven’t really checked Wash out. He is here already so I would look at him. I might or probably would expect there will be some HC is out of a job and was a successful DC before being a HC. Probably start there. I really want Luke lol but that probably couldn’t happen.

Yeah, I neglected the Tepper variable in the Canales factoring. Why we have him. And it isn’t as much because he is Morgan’s buddy as it is we were turned down or just got a ‘not interested’ so many times we had to have Somebody… so Morgan being familiar is a factor yes but only after pretty much all other options were not going to materialize. We don’t even know, it may have been better to get him than the next option at that point. Which turns Dan into getting a save rather than fuging us with hiring his buddy.

Lol. Yeah, I would also take Minnesota and Seattle's roster and coaching. What kind of absolutely lightspeed insane comparison are you even making? Darnold would have much more visually pleasing and little better or equivalent W/L results in Carolina this season. As bad as Bryce is at dumb dumb TO's, Darnold is in the Winston tier. The people that continue to view him as this QB god are pure football comedy.

who do you have in mind for a good DC hire?

No man, he is not bottom third. Please. I saw him choke in the biggest game for Minnesota last year. Sure did. Not blind. But I don’t know that he learned nothing. We may get some clarity on that coming up soon. People usually do incremental improvements rather than putting it all together at once. Or they don’t because they hit their ceiling and can’t improve but that is generally an ability thing. Plus players often learn best from failure, and getting more repetitions where they can apply what they may have learned. I guess I am a less than serious fan because I would take going 12-5, 13-4, and playoffs most years and be satisfied, with no guarantee of a SB championship. Compared to what we have been fed for years, I take that poo all day every day. That is what he is doing. I’ll wait and see how he responds this year because they will be in the playoffs won’t they?

She isn't a victim in the relationship and that's about where the "not a victim" ends. Dude exhibited nutter female behavior. He deserves everything he gets.

Its not if, the only way he isnt playing tonight is if the flights couldnt get timed right..... Nadeu is deff coming up. Jarvis is literally the guy we could least afford to lose.

Yeh the fact they did an mri is ominous. if somehow they get eliminated this weekend I bet they shut him down

Well, I think the answer is pretty clear if you AREN'T the David Tepper Panthers and that is that you move on from Dave Canales. But, if we were able to be in that situation we wouldn't have ever hired such an unqualified and ill suited HC. For us, I would think we just try to improve this roster talent so that when we inevitability move on from Canales that we might be a more attractive option. That's also taking a lot of liberties with assuming Tepper isn't an insanely meddling c*nt like he has been so far and it doesn't remain a bottom 2-3 NFL head coaching job. If that last part never changes, well.....you just sort of accept your lot and try to suffer through the ride until Tepper is no longer here.

Big opportunity for Nadeau if he gets called up.

I think OL is a pretty low overall concern but every single offseason there should be an attempt to upgrade through the draft. Edge rusher there are no easy answers, IMO. If a truly elite prospect falls to us in the 1st, that is fine. This draft seems to be much more heavy on 3-4 DE's or 4-3 DE's than it is on elite EDGE guys. You just have to keep plugging away every offseason and hope it works out. I don't think it's worth trading a ton of draft capital over at the moment, despite being a crucial roster weakness. Do the best you can and build a better roster and maybe eventually we will be in a position to be making a Parsons level trade.

I understand that a capable OC is desirable but I also understand, or think I might, the dynamics with the staff and maybe I’m wrong but I do not see Canales firing his offensive right hand guy without significant pressure from Morgan or Tepper to do so. So that, in addition to Canales stating pretty definitively, that he was keeping play calling. I don’t know what you do in that circumstance. It would need to be important enough to you to make it worth firing Canales to get your OC play caller. To that, if Canales not being good so far at play calling (and we only have the one year in TB to factor with what we have see here), is accepted as a given, it is only fair and honest to consider what an impediment having to construct and administer an offense around Bryce Young’s game would be to an OC. I would say it is a big complication, big surprise there. You won’t know about Canales 100% until you remove Bryce from the equation and get him a clean slate to create from - without the Bryce restrictions. And yeah you will likely end up without a top notch high flying offense. But it still *could* be much better than it is now. In the right hands. So that is potentially what we’re looking at. I suppose we could keep Bryce and bring in a college style coach and design a Bryce rollout offense or something and see if that helped. I am not in favor of that, probably the last thing I would want. We could do nothing, which I am not in favor of. We could fire Canales and keep Bryce (my least preferred option). We could get rid of both, which I would begrudgingly accept but would lament the interruption of the continuity that a 3rd year would provide. You could get rid of Bryce and get a couple of new QB prospects in here, vets, drafts, whatever… that would be my choice. I am afraid I know how it’s gonna go. All I can really say about that is, there has not been a single time in three years that I looked at the upcoming game and felt like we were gonna win because we have Bryce Young playing QB. Because of what he could do with the ball in his hands. Not once. Sure there have been a handful of games that he was part of the reason we won, a couple he was a big part, but not enough times to feel like that is my expectation. At best, it is cross your fingers and hope for good Bryce.
