Oh I am aware. He is a Forever Brycer. He was expecting I wouldn't even reply or give a wishy washy answer. The truth is, there will be ample options at least as good as Bryce with far, far higher ceilings and a smaller group of CLEARLY better than Bryce options available, as well. And that's not even touching the draft. It's a far shorter list to find QB's in the NFL that are demonstrably WORSE than Bryce. Although I do have that list available, as well.

Once you get demoted like this, there isn't much path upwards. They are better off trying to maximize any potential trade value for a bust WR with a high ceiling like they did with Mingo. If they wait until next season, that value will drop off a cliff.

That's not a realistic scenario of extrapolating outward nor would they be playing such an easy schedule. He played two teams with winning records during those eight games. The other three teams they played with above .500 records Penis Jr. played. I think you will see that although there will be ample QB opportunities available in free agency, he will not be getting signed as a starter. The Corbett complaint is massively overplayed. It's a significantly smaller issue than the playcalling, QB play and, as you said, our predictability.

It's inarguable. The people getting upset about this are being babies. If anyone here said they wanted to be an 8-9 playoff team as their ultimate goal prior to the Tampa game, they are nuts. That said, I did say that it would be my PREFERRED way to get in but only because it would inflict the maximum amount of pain on the Tampa fans.

I think they will likely shop him around.

I mean....you could have just won the game to actually get you in.

Do you want actual or potential options? The CURRENT free agent list is available but that will likely change quite a bit based on what we are seeing happen already.

I think Cousins is very clearly washed up. He's a lesser Andy Dalton. You can see how much the Falcons thought of him as they arranged a deal so he can be cut by March. I don't think there is any real reason to attach OL issues to the problem. Not overtly, anyway. We had at one point in the season(and may still) had the most OL combinations start in the NFL. We featured multiple trash heap players and PS call ups. I think the bulk of the blame was predictable playcalling and extremely poor QB play by us.

There are better short term options available than Bryce, however. He is also a short term player.

Hunt was out when Dowdle had about 9 total carries on the season. Hell he was about 2 YPC at the time Hunt went down. Also, I am less inclined to think Cousins was the sole reason for Atlanta to come roaring back. He was basically Bryce Young. In his eight starts he went 5-3, had 2 total games over 200 yds passing and only scored 11 TD's.

Not saying that isn't true but it does project to potentially be even tougher than the #9 SOS we had this season.

Brother I am not gonna sit here and let you fuging besmirch the name of that 2014 team. They were 7-8-1. Sooo...did you not see next seasons schedule yet?

No way, dude. They are basically the same player through three seasons. I will show you:

It isn't about his time or not his time, the situation created and certainly the press conference after his firing in which Tepper repeatedly intentionally mispronounced his name(a notorious Tepper practice) broadcast to the entire NFL coaching community who he is. Furthermore, saddling him with some chaotic "dream team" staff isn't what any credible head coach would want. He did it again with Canales and Evero. That's the point, any notion of "oh you have to be careful about how it looks" is long gone. This is overwhelmingly the worst job in the NFL. That isn't likely to change because they fire Canales now or when they fire him next season/offseason. You aren't gonna get extra credit for that.

He won't be correcting his footwork because he doesn't agree it is an issue. He disagrees with every outside source that has told him he should correct it.

I mean, he is objectively a pretty bad coach. He is one of the worst coaches we have ever had when it comes to in game adjustments, personnel management and game preparation.

Those nails are already driven through the bottom of the coffin with the constant turnover, the way he treated a very respected guy in Frank Reich and all of the ample amounts of talking in the coaching community about how bad of an owner he is. The righting of that ship will likely not happen. Also, it's very likely we will revert back to that 5 win team next year.

Did you not forget how badly Flores worked out in Miami? Shades of Josh McDaniels. Some people are just better as coordinators. As some one who spends a ton of time in Detroit, almost no one up there would get rid of Dan Campbell for Ben Johnson. He is a beloved figure and for good reason. Tampa fans are probably dumb enough and on enough drugs to want Canales back.

He can. Marty Schottenheimer, John Fox and Tony Dungy all got fired after making the playoffs. It's not about what you can or can't do. It's about recognizing when what you are doing isn't working. Optics are irrelevant if you know you have a path to success. But, as many have stated, John Harbaugh is a smart guy. Smart enough to never consider working for David Tepper.

That might be room temp OG Zimas.

This guy who is apparently over the hill got fired for having the best season in Dave Canales' career.

Because we have Dave Canales.

I mean, the track record is already established, there is zero left to lose on that front. If it fails, you are back to where you started. If he succeeds, no one remembers anyway.
