Bryce has been sacked 44 times due to the horrid play calling, poor pass blocking, lack of a running game, and WRs who don't get open. His number are STILL better than Trevor Lawrence in the same amount of time in the NFL. I don't expect simple-minded people to comprehend that it is too early to give up on him, though. 

I agree, it is simple minded.

 Some people aren’t able to simplify (so they mock it. You maybe?) won’t settle for simple, allow their emotions to complicate things, etc. I will admit, it is wearing my simple mind out just thinking about it. 

I am too thick, incapable of rational flexibility, and just too old too, probably, to understand how beneficial and illuminating some of these more sophisticated evaluation tools really are, and what they offer the person willing to be on the cutting edge. They are truly modernizing the NFL. 

Analysis is finally catching up to our technological capabilities. Like now, we can track things like how many franchise quarterbacks grew up with two parents in the home, and we have this great tool the S2, that absolutely lessens the need to depend on our eyeballs. 

I think those people trying to perfect the pre draft analysis process can finally rest easy on that one. They have earned recognition. 

But I digress. Eyeballs are completely unnecessary for this evaluation. Edit: strike that. They are. 

Did I ever get a reply from any of the big Bryce Young promotors about the little hop skip step thing he does running up to launch his deep ball? 

No I don’t think I have. It took my eyeballs literally a few reps of watching his pro day deep balls to see it. But no one acknowledges or explains it to me. They don’t try. It must be really complicated. I am sure they must think I couldn’t understand it.

Ehhh like a $1.4M jackpot he would have been taken top 5 by someone

I agree with you. Not that I think or thought he belonged there. I do agree that some team would have taken him high. 

Think that would happen again? I don’t. 

Just now, Mr. Scot said:

I think if you want employees going around stabbing each other in the back, then yeah, you're a sh-tty leader.

I agree with the take that if somebody came to me doing that crap, I'd probably fire them.

I think we agree somewhere in all this poorly expressed opinion fest. 

To be clear, there will be no backstabbers in My Kingdom, if I ever get one. 

So you are saying I would be a shitty leader if I did that? Maybe but I just won't have that sort of stuff going on. It is cancerous.

I like to think I would be able to screen that stuff out in the hiring  process.

edit: and I’d have fired a scout that said Bryce Young should be the target to go after with all of my assets. 

I was on board from the announcement that there would be a Carolina NFL team. Long time now. We’ve had some drafts where I wasn’t sold on the player, including Cam. I wouldn’t have been sold on Stroud fwiw, but I knew he should have been the pick. Last minute after that S2 stuff I said if he is really that stupid then take Richardson. Anybody but Young was my thing and I was freaking serious  

Except for one player. I Never posted pleas and prayers that they not take any of the draft picks until Young. And they took him. fug them, fug any other fools that look right at it and can’t see. If he ever plays a full or most of a full season as  starting quarterback on a team that makes the playoffs, even in this poo division, I’ll show myself out.

If we could get a new franchise here yeah I’d be behind this.

We are no better now, than an expansion team. Sure, why not?

Random reactions. 

Tepper should have immediately fired the first coach that tattletail texted. You don’t want people like that in your organization. IMO.

I don’t or couldn’t understand what Reich was doing with the offense but it looked to me like a protest. A passive aggressive fug you, you try to win with 3rd round QB talent after you traded away my best WR and RB… none of it made any sense until Dalton shined that light and was quickly hidden.

It is hopeless to try and win in the NFL with that type of player at your most important position. I would not want to have that job. 

Tepper hired a coach but won’t listen to him. Get what you deserve. 

Some of our fans deserve this poo too but most don’t, they are simply powerless. We I should say. Especially with how easy it is to fool Tepper. 

In golf, you get a handicap to allow you to compete with guys that physically outclass you. White tees. You get a couple of strokes per side. 

Need to figure out how that works in football.

I have faith in Bryce…looking forward to seeing some Huddlers eat 

Heeeehheeeeehaaahaaaa

I’ll absolutely chew it if the situation dictates. What about you? I’d start looking at recipes if I were a Bryce Young. 

Now tell me what he has to do to justify his selection and cost? What is the bar for success? It needs to be very high.

So, what about that little run up on the throws he needs a little more on?

The hop thing he has to do, and make time for, to throw anything over ten or fifteen yards

Please watch his pro day and tell me you do not see that. 

Anybody. Just once, explain that away as if it doesn’t exist.

But they can’t say it. 

Move to go up was not any kind of good idea.

And he learned the football side from......Marty Hurney.

Never forget that.

I wouldn’t want that known if I were Hurney. 

Tepper obviously was out back smoking when Hurney covered The Draft: Successful 1st Round Strategy 

Tepper will be woke

The hallmark of being dumb is not realizing you aren't smart enough to know how to do everything.

Tepper firmly believes this is all easy. He learned for a year or two from Marty Hurney and now he thinks he is some sort of Moneyball sage. It's just that all these idiots around him keep screwing up his brilliant plans. He is going to change the NFL if all these idiots just get out of his way and let him do it.

You just hit on something that I have been… amused isn’t the right word… but amused by.

Tepper spent a year learning the business and a Year learning the football side. Now he *knows* how it works.

1 year. 

I thought the coaches had to put in two seasons to bring back a draft pick. ? 

And yep there is an advantage to hiring a minority IF they are equal or better than the competition from the field. Then you get the best candidate plus some maybe lottery type chances. 

I’d always want to hire the better qualified or more talented person if there is a difference in ability regardless of Rooney or whatever. Personally. 

College coach is what it will be, I would look and see what O’brien is doing because Tepper will want to recreate Alabama’s offense.

All you guys posting that college tape to show Bryce off, and argue for him…  I am starting to thing you are Dave and Nicole. 

edit: I am not saying O’Brien will be HC, just hyping for fun. It is gonna be something you could see coming if you have been following. 

It all makes much more sense viewed from the Reich felt screwed over angle.

After likely lying to Reich that he could pick his QB Tepper saddled him with a historically tiny outlier, and expects two things at once, and they are mutually exclusive. 

Play Bryce Young. WIn. Can’t do both.

Have to do something. It was sort of John Fox 2010, but on steroids.  

Really looking forward to seeing the game plan. 

NFL has lost many people the last few years with Goodell being the face of that. 

When the ego of a bilkionaire (typo but I’m leaving it) runs wild and ruins everything you enjoyed about you own favorite team, and you get zero pleasure out of following them, welcome to today.

Yeah they have peaked for me for sure. 

Yeah that really lines up with what we have seen. I felt like they wanted to bench him said it a week or so ago and that is around that same time I was talking about. Like when I was saying they weren‘t trying to win, they weren’t. Or he’d have been benched. But I never expected that to come out lol. This is fun.

Dianna Russini talked about it a while back.

The way she phrased it made it sound like the pressure was coming from both ownership and the front office.

Her reporting is one of the main things causing me to question whether Fitterer is out or not.

Becoming pretty obvious that he is the ultimate piece of GM clay for Tepper to play with.

Reports coming out of the building that Tepper forced himself into game planning the last few weeks and demanded certain plays and schemes be used.

Is this real?

edit: apparently it is real. 

If Tepper called the first play the other day, hire him. 

But it is probably more Alabama college plays.  This is sad poo.

Some on here really wanted to believe Tepper wasn't pulling the strings on the draft pick...Now here we are in a situation where we can't even let Bryce sit and learn the rest of the year because it'll bruise Teppers ego. 

Eating the mistake now is the best course of action but you have to have an awake and aware realist type to understand that. 

Who expected the defense to be good, switching base defense to the 3-4? With one end there’s a  guy can really only rush the QB  and the other end the guy can stop the run. Maybe. With what we were having to do at LB. Shaq and the secondary casualties immediately. 

I think the guy has done a great job. You make him coach or you conditionally wanna make him coach (where he has to like your quarterback plan)? I wouldn’t want to be tied to the previous regime’s mistakes. 

That stubbornness about the QB may be a huge problem. If Tepper won’t move off of this kid, we are really stuck.

Even people that like Young have to accept that not every coach would want to accommodate him. So where do you limit the coaching criteria for the best coach? Is the best coach only the coach that wants to work with Bryce Young?

edit: but Evero, as DC? Yeah. Fine with me. I would be good with him as HC except he is where he needs to be right now I think. Skill wise. 

My question about this lack of vertical would be if that is what was stopping them why don’t they simply design a play that doesn’t require him to step up in the middle of the pocket? 

It wouldn’t be anything new. So I just figure it’s some other reason. Most times the simplest explanation is the best or however Occam’s Razor goes I don’t think people want to jump on the list of obvious reasons because can he do it comes into play pretty near the top of that list. That’s still a top 3 maybe. He could have that runway he needs but I never saw that as something that defensive people would allow to happen for long. So never saw it as a good idea worth suggesting.

But I really thought that is what we would see, a cutting down the size of the field horizontally. As opposed to vertically. But we haven't really at all, except for those escape to nowhere throw it away deals. 

I wonder how many want Young as their QB. 

Heh. Laughing to myself about what Tepper will be like when they tell him the truth. Whatever that is.
