He would be a fool to return here, TBH.

The only Tepper defenders that exist are. the MLS people. I, and basically 90% of the fanbase, would gladly jettison that MLS team to wherever to get rid of Tepper and his terrible ownership which is solely responsible for all our ails. ALL of them. A good staff isn't possible BECAUSE OF DAVID TEPPER. You are correct that he isn't an excuse for a bad FO move or a bad coaching move. But he is 100% responsible for all of them because we are 8 years into this mess. There is no one left he isn't solely responsible for and through many different iterations, we keep failing. We can't even reach a Woody Johnson level of success. It has been and it will always be David Tepper's fault. No amount of being happy about getting an MLS team is going to change that.

For all the Bryce apologists, the Canales apologists are almost worse.

Canales outsmarts himself on a very consisent basis. In some ways, he is one of the most ill suited to be head coach of the Tepper tenure.

The charge of a head coach is to win games. The rest of it is just horseshit. So, ultimately, he is to blame for the perplexing losses when he willingly sets us up to fail. I have zero use for a head coach that is some stooge worried about front office or ownership decisions above the goal of success and winning. That's Dave Canales. He is the one that seemingly cares more about every aspect that doesn't have to do with winning.

Canales biggest problem is himself. He cannot figure out what the average Huddler can. We ran the ball to substantially above average success against the 49ers but then continued to call pass play after pass play for a bad QB. The overall fault of the offensive struggling fall far more into Canales lap than even Bryce's. How many times has he continued to do the exact same thing? Go away from something working for unknown reasons?

I disagree. I think he is not blamed enough. The one thing ex-players and coaches(across all sports) consistently talk about is how important good ownership is for franchise success. Of the overall fault, more than 95% lays at Tepper's feet. These are all the people he selected fuging this all up.

Of the 44 Tackles For Loss on the season, a mere 22.7%(10) are from ILB's on the season. Secondary: 14 DL: 10 OLB/EDGE: 10 The ILB's we have are somewhere between 2nd string and PS quality. They are substantially worse than anticipated.

Don't completely agree with the picks but 100% agree with the strategy. I have been saying this for weeks now. As @LinvilleGorge pointed out, it's the strategy the Giants employed and although not successful, it has at least given them ample options when one fails.

I think this is a damning thing for Dave Canales. He is going to end up losing the team over his confounding decisions on the offensive side of the ball, which he is directly responsible for.

So, looks like slightly less than 6% of the Huddle still has faith in Bryce.

Hockey has GWG. Maybe football needs a GWTD stat.

Oh it's squarely the worst in the NFL. That's why you are impressed by unimpressive players.

That hope is unlikely to pay off. He has consistently regressed as a player.

David Tepper is 68 years old. If you outlive him and we get a not Michael Jordan caliber owner again, you could see successful football.

My bad. I was thinking double West coast for some reason. So they DO have a home field advantage because it is at our stadium.

Smarter move between the two. Smarter round to make that choice too. Ultimately, drafting project players that high is never a good idea.

LLM's are an intelligence test. If you rely on them, you are not intelligent.

Surprising we didn't take him. That's a Panthers draft pick through and through.

At this point it's probably the only way you can get hard.

It was about 45/45/10, Young/Stroud/AR. The AR folks were the loudest by far, IIRC.

This explains a lot about you.

His height has probably descended outside the top 5 most concerning aspects of Bryce Young's flaws as a QB.

Don't worry, it looks even worse in hindsight.
