I heard it was him showing up in NE for his ring of honor ceremony and talking about how great the organization was and the Titans ownership felt a certain way about that. They also fired/mutually parted ways with Mike Mularky after he got them to the playoffs. So making the playoffs as the Titans coach is the kiss of death. They've ran off the last 2 to achieve that lofty goal.

No matter what anyone says about refs, coaching or whatever, this was the season where we caught some vital breaks on the way to 8 wins. I mean we could easily and I mean easily have been a 4/5 win team. If dave doesnt figure out this offense stat then the reality could set in early. thats why the icky news really blows, having to deal with that amongst our other issues just sucks

If you look at the random Twitter accounts a lot of them started posting towards the end of 2022, so when Alabama was trying to gin up another heisman for him. i imagine the same people control a lot of these accounts. Tepper just uses the team media outlets and reporters, and maybe pays JT O’Sullivan. This never ending slop on social media is probably from his agent.

It's may also be harder for a big guy to get down low enough to hit a guy Bryce's size in the chest/waist vs a taller QB, especially with the QB protections in place. I'm not saying that they can't do it, just that lowering your center of gravity an extra 6 inches may feel a little weird and unnatural.

That night after the Final Four is a complete blur on Bourbon Street. Didn't Love turn around and beat Duke again the next year as a transfer at Arizona?

Yeah, that could definitely be plausible on all counts.

It wouldn't surprise me if Tepper's Panthers PR has a staff group dedicated to keeping pro Bryce Young accounts across social media platforms churning out positive posts about him.

Seeing the comments that Beane was kissing butt to ownership this would not surprise me. Beane started out well but IMO he's really putting the Bills in the same boat he and Gettleman put Cam. Their decisions really had an impact on Cam's future. You have a generational QB and can't get over the hump and IMO it was lack of talent and not lack of on field leadership.

Well that is a bright side.

This is from a random fantasy sports site that also runs a betting app so uh who knows

It's a two year uptick(although this year it was WAY up). My recollection of a lot of his missed tackles was going for the strip rather than actually tackling the person. I don't think it is concussion related, I think it's discipline and technique related.

Based on, Bryce? I very much doubt it. Do they try to do things that are tailored towards him, well, obviously so. But I don't think if you look at his Tampa offense and his Carolina offense you are going to see a bunch of differences other than perhaps Baker's willingness to stretch the field slightly more. If I recall correctly, I broke that down previously in here and it wasn't this gulf that people assumed it was. I do think the plays are limited but it's because Dave Canales designed them and is calling them. Do I think Bryce would be better in other NFL offenses or paired with other NFL playcallers? Absolutely. Do I think that will lead him to being a franchise QB? Absolutely not.

Nah and I can’t find it. Also holy poo there are a ton of sock puppet accounts propping up Bryce.

Missed tackles. Maybe shying from contact to protect noggin?

So it isn’t limited?

Do you have a video of the play? I am not recalling it specifically.

Horn's biggest issue this past year was just tackling and Chris Olave. Outside that, he was typically very good. He allowed a significantly lower passer rating this year versus last year. He was almost across the board better except for....missed tackles.

Yeah but it was a db blitzing from the corner and Bryce was about to unleash a Hail Mary (lol) and did not see the defender at all. jumping didn’t do anything and wouldn’t have stopped the pass. Bryce might be so small that big objects can’t actually hurt him. Kinda like swatting at a fly.

That was a different playbook, brother.

JC dipped after his concussion this year. Coincidence? Possibly. Possibly not. Might be there with Stroud as well. Brain clouds dulling reaction/processing. As if I have any medical knowledge, it seems possible though.

I mean...I think the far more likely explanation is that he thought Bryce was about to throw the ball. Bryce has taken some BIG hits in his career and some this season, as well. Not to mention, with this cutesy sideline run BS, he has been courting some of these big hits to attempt to draw flags. In general, he is rarely getting blasted because he is fairly elusive, scrambles to throw often and doesn't take a big hit to get a big throw/completion. He is going to the ground or hucking some duck in a general direction if he is about to get walloped.

You've got to constantly invest in the OL. The mantra pay tackles, draft guards/centers is true for a reason. Every 2 years we should be investing a round 2 or 3 pick in a starting guard/center unless we hit an all pro guy. Center, I lean more towards keeping the franchise guy than rotating him out as long as the price tag come contract time isn't insane. Tackle needs to be a top investment every 4 unless we have bookends. At least one day 3 pick needs to go to a guard or tackle every year churning the backup positions. Almost 18% of our team is OL. Investing at least 1 pick a year is just good business. That roster area needs to constantly be churning to try and keep low cost, highest possible quality talent.

If you have watched Stroud the past couple of seasons, I think his confidence well has been leaking for some time now. If you look at his overall production it has decline year on year and he just doesn't look comfortable very often. Some of that is loss of OL but it's not like he is getting David Carr'ed. This is the lowest sack rate he has had in his NFL career. It's hard to explain the absolute meltdown he had coming into the postseason. I haven't really seen anything like that other than Jake's one game meltdown and Carson Palmer's wild 2015 two game meltdown(6 TO's against us alone). Both of those QB's didn't last long as NFL starters after that. Not sure what will happen with CJ but I do genuinely question if he is mentally shot. Young's mechanics are unfixable because he(and his team/QB trainer) don't agree with anyone else on his footwork issues. They believe he is doing what will be successful for him.

Yes I do remember that. And people say the playbook is not limited.

I'm curious to know if McDermott was sacrificed to save Beane's skin. The one thing that may be the case is that Allen may just not be one of those QB's that is capable of hitting that next level. If so, Beane is probably doomed in the long run, as well.
