According to preseason hype, Carson Beck was going to be the difference maker at Miami. I wasn't aware things were that bad, but I haven't really watched them much until today.

Good God these QB's are terrible.

Good point about Reich. They fuged him hard and it seems like from the jump with the assembling of that dream team staff. I don’t think he had as much input as a HC is supposed to have in that scenario. The Bryce people played it as if he was a piker but he knew exactly what cards he was dealt in April 2023.

He wasn't a Reich guy. That was the attempt to go spend money on an "all-star" coaching staff that had limited ties to each other. It led to all the backstabbing and snitching. Evero is a Tepper/Fitterer guy. He wasn't a Canales choice.

I think Bryce is genuinely a very minimal factor in comparison to Tepper. I mean, say what you want about Frank Reich but that was a respected coach in the NFL and for your owner to be so insanely disrespectful publicly to him probably eliminated a VAST swath of high caliber coaching candidates from probably considered us again or for a while. I agree that there is no guarantee we will get better at head coach. It's just gonna be a matter of who is able to survive under Tepper long enough.

I see it from both sides. If an elite guy is there, I wouldn't let a bad and likely short term head coach keep me from improving the roster. Any player we draft in 2026 is almost certainly going to outlast Dave Canales. I think Evans could be decent but the fact he is losing reps to guys like Sanders and Tremble isn't good. He should be able to beat out someone like Sanders, for sure. Could just be we have stupid coaches but it could also be he is just sort of a JAG like Tremble.

I had considered that.

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?
