"We actually need more team propagandists in the media" The last thing the decision makers of this franchise need is more people heaping unearned praise onto them 24/7. That's how you end up being irrelevant for a decade. Which we just did. How about let these folks actually prove any level of consistency.

They operate the exact same way as most large corporations do, TBH.

Tua is a much worse situation than Bryce. Tua continued to improve to being elite or near elite, garnering a mega deal and face of the franchise hype. Then the wheels fell off for various reasons. With Bryce, he has improved from absolutely dreadful to just simply bad. There shouldn't be an illusions about being elite or a mega deal being the face of a franchise. Well....if we had logical or rational people leading the franchise anyway.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47622479/inside-pittsburgh-steelers-coach-mike-tomlin-decision-walk-away-step-last-game Great article, worth the read. It does sound like he made the decision to step down weeks ago and he has no intention of coming back at least for a year. I wouldn't be surprised if he has a path similar to Cowher and never returns.

Tua also posted a winning record as a starter in each of his first 5 seasons.

He's a fan of the team but it's still no telling on where they stand with Bryce. If you ask me, there are serious internal conversations from those that question Bryce. Usually Qbs the team is confident about, you barely hear in year 4 of questions remaining. The team is going to see how year 4 looks and go from that. I definitely can tell they are adding some talent to that room off Canales and Morgan recent press conferences.

The Tua thing is revisionist History. He had 2.5 really really good years with McDaniels before getting paid, and people fear with him was his concussion history. 2022 - 2024 until he got knocked out for year he was looked at as top 10 by just about everybody.

100% agree. That is also very different than objectivity.

When was the last time the Charlotte has beaten a Lebron team? I cant think of one.

Some of you people are so weird about this stuff. Here’s an idea, why don’t you go on social media, make sure your boss sees what you say, and start trashing the company you work for. We actually need more team propagandists in the media, not less. Us being the only ones with this weird code about our former players and media members needing to not promote the team and players is how things like Derrick Brown not making the pro bowl happen.

He is a Panther employee.

True maybe, but I admittedly don't necessarily pay NFL types as much deference as others, as over the years I've seen them be wrong aplenty, so much so that perhaps I'm just jaundiced, or at least callous, to some of their proclamations. I mean, after watching the game in earnest for somewhere around a half century, admittedly the eye test seems to take on, sometimes exaggerated, importance. You do get to know a thing or two about the game over that span as well and develop some insights that younger fans may not have. Moreover, keep in mind that players, coaches and execs disagree on many things football all the time, so there's a certain amount of dart throwing that is inherent within the beast.

I mean yes. But also he’s a former pro and knows the game better than 90% of people.

Beating the Lakers in LA

He and TD are employed by the team. They are going to say what the team wants them to say.

We all choose who to listen to, but, perhaps more importantly, a number of us form opinions based upon what we see (and don't see as it were). It's not necessarily "confirmation bias," but objective analysis.

If everyone agrees on everything all the time in a football forum, then that should tell you something. If people have varying degrees of disagreement and are constantly going back and forth, presenting statistics, information and knowledge based upon experience and the experience of those who are NFL types, that should tell you something also. Being a fan is not necessarily just about mindless cheerleading, although some fans do that.

I sense a restructure incoming for Robert Hunt

Well you're picking and choosing which pundit to listen to. Everyone has confirmation bias

I just spit out my coffee. Holy poo.

Interesting. A HoF QB is not an authority on the position. I mean, everybody is guessing to an extent, but Kurt Warner obviously knows the intricacies of the position at all levels, as do other QBs who have played at all levels.

Aho

Get this one. Please just win this one. Florida has become my least favorite team over the rags.
