Agree. But you can't do all of that forcing the new GM or coach to build an entire team around one single player who is not showing much, if anything, in terms of elevating the players around him. You bring in a new team CEO, GM and HC, the best you can get given our situation, and let them build their team. If they feel Bryce is worth building around, give them the freedom to do it. If they don't, give them the freedom to not build around him. You can hamstring yourself by limiting yourself to only people who believe in Bryce. You have to get people who know football, and can make an evaluation for the good of the team, whether you like it or not.

It will take more than a single season to fill the offense with players better than JAGs that could even run something similar to what he did at Bama. That's at least 2, maybe 3 more years to get him in a position to be successful. If you limit yourself to a coach that is best running an offense specifically suited for BY, then the HC hire is simple. Nick Saban it is.

It's not the only way to succeed. It may be the only way to keep the job under Tepper, which is in and of itself a significant sign of a much larger issue. Whoever is hired should be able to provide an honest evaluation of Bryce without consequences from Tepper. Right now, Bryce shouldn't be the starting QB for the Panthers. Whether it's the QB or the offense, this isn't the right situation for BY to grow as a QB.

Better question is does Bryce start next week?

He was able to disect a play over 15 minutes at dinner, about 14:58 longer than on the NFL field.

He's the biggest difference maker on D.

I've been told that's not possible. He can see the entire field and his view cannot be obstructed.

Depends on if you ever plan on coaching again. If it's your last payday, taking a bigger paycheck could make sense if you don't really care about your legacy.

I laugh because I know it can't happen, yet cry because I know it will.

I used to drink on Saturday mornings too.

Picked up Titans D this week in FF. It feels wrong betting on Zavala to suck.

Happy Thanksgiving all you crazy bastards. Insanity is the only logical reason any of us are still here.

Unless we get a new GM and coach, it's just another name that won't be used properly and wasted.

It seems our FO has put far more importance on the ability to interview vs actual football skills. GM, coaches, players, good interview regardless of talent - you're hired. Bad interview regardless of talent - no thanks.

I think regular people have a much keener sense of drafting than some want to give credit for. Say what you want about fantasy football, but one thing it's taught me is to read to flows of drafts and be able to track trends in what player values typically fall where. For example, the likelihood of finding a WR who can contribute year 1 is much higher in later rounds than an edge rusher. Late round and UDFA rbs are becoming much more plug and play instead of needing to spend that high pick, CMC, Barkley, Bijan, Gibbs. So yeah, regular folks may not have the expertise to deal with a lot of the other issues, evaluating talent, tendencies, flow, and value isn't something that should be just written off so easily as they're just fans, they couldn't possibly know anything.

And anyone that disagreed had some kind of bias and was completely unable to evaluate talent.

I might just stop working and let Bryce ad lib it at the line. How much worse could it get?

It's her royal highness matched luggage.

He'll just have a dinner with Dave and Nicole and break down a defensive play for them. Thats worth about $30m per year, right?

I'd say his agent probably hired a PR firm to really pump the S2 results too. Stroud was the top prospect until all the processing hype was all anyone would talk about.

Burns is Reddick with a gimmick sack celebration.

2 1sts and a high 2nd. Rams are pretty happy Fitts is an incompetent GM about now.

My biggest criticism has always been the panic of Fitterer that led to the trade up and pick. Hearing a GM admit he panicked 2 years in a row never gives you the warm and fuzzies.

I'd rather have Nippleshorts back right now.

One thing I've heard is Wilks coaches from the booth and Ryans was on the sidelines. He was connected to his players constantly. It's rumored to have made quite the difference in how the defense has performed
