Our options for the HC position were limited, particularly by our own stupidity. Steichen had a poor virtual interview so we just ignored what he had been doing in Philly running a potent offense. Canales wasn't on anyone else's radar. He's never been a HC and doesn't have the credentials to be an OC and HC. He was brought in to fix Bryce. It was a condition of being hired that Bryce was going to be his QB. No qualified HC is locking into a historically bad QB as his only option. DC is here because Tepper likes a certain type of person in charge and that's one he can tell what to do that won't push back.

Nope. That's all on dumb ass Dave Tepper. But how do you work for a boss and build a team for an owner that has just cut your legs out from under you. You can't trust anything he or his GM yes man says because both will lie right to your face. You can't run your offense because the player chosen for you isn't the type of player you would ever chose for yourself. It's like writing right handed all your life and switching over to left. Can you do it? Yeah. Is it going to be anything remotely close to legible. Nope. My guess is Frank told Tepper either he fires him and lets him keep his salary or he goes public about all the poo that just went down and Tepper isn't getting another real coach or GM again.

He had an 8 figure reason not to.

Because he didn't care anymore. He didn't want Bryce. Bryce didn't fit his offensive mold at QB. Tepper picked his QB for him. Look at his demeanor before and after the draft. Can't work for a boss that lies to your face.

Frank didn't suck. He knew week 1 of practice he didn't want to do 4 years of this poo.

Only one person in charge is making the major decisions and he knows nothing about running a football team.

I had to reply to BigKat earlier. Sorry I missed the sarcasm.

I get what you're saying. That's why I thought Dalton was such a horrible signing. We needed a QB2 like Jameis, Brissett, Howell. DC needed just much evaluation on his offense as Bryce did as a QB. DC's play calling still looks like ass, but you can’t tell if it's DC or Bryce or a combo because there was no real QB2 to run it the one week Bryce was out.

Wtf are you even talking about. Bowles didn't rely on Baker. He relied on his running game because they were chewing us up. Baker made some key throws under pressure to avoid sacks and didn't screw up the finish. It was obvious what the game plan was with our limp dick offense. Chew up the game clock because we can't put points on the board in chunks.

Baker threw a bad pick. So did Bryce. Then Bowles put it in the hands of his backs and pounded us into the ground.

Yes. Tampa sold out on stopping the run game and dared us to beat them with Bryce. Same thing Seattle did. Same thing NO did. The offense is built around Bryce and smart defensive coordinators aren't scared of him at all.

Jimmy was a 2nd round pick not the 1st overall. Expectations are different. If Bryce had been held to the same standards as Jimmy, this would have been over halfway into year 1.

Thats what i said. He's gotten us a 1, an 8, and ....

This coming from a guy who's latest posts have been reminiscent of Fat Alice

We'll reset next season. It's our way.

Actually, Jimmy only got us a single number 1 overall. So far Bryce has netted us a 1st overall, 8, and we've yet to see what this year gives us.

Because defensive strategy is simple now. Stack the box and sell out to stop the run and make Bryce beat you. Bryce can't do that for 4 quarters as has been seen for 3 seasons.

Matt Rhule didnt coach games like a pussy. He was just an idiot.

A deep ball is 20 yards now. Puts it in the DC playbook.

That was only because World Wildlife Fund was already using WWF and it was a trademark issue.

Thats a deep ball play. 20 yards. Sounds about right.

Aren't you the little optimist

I saw Lamar's cap hit next year is 76.5m. Holy poo.

It will also prove who's really running this show.

I know. But the reference was that Lamar is the only one who played out his entire 5th year. People talk like Bryce will too just because we throw it out there when the reality is, he most likely won't. QBs want those extensions and the huge payday that comes with them.
