I think Tepper has been setting the stage where pending there is no miracle he wipes it all clean. Think you already have been told that with small things like Evero staying. Bryce is the guy next year. OC, DC, everything stays the same. QB room largely the same. Nothing would really matter there. They basically get one more shot and it goes how the schedule paired with our 27th ranked O predictably most likely goes. Everyone out the door together. Bryce is a bridge tier QB. I don’t see Dave surviving where he could be bridge QB here in reality.

you can't make plans off the fact anomalies exist. Brooks is rostered. Hopefully he can make a comeback and relevant. But him doing that can't really be part of your plan.

I think everyone should forget Brooks exists. If he ever becomes relevant that's just a massive bonus.

this exact same team could play a tougher schedule and have 6 wins. this exact same team this season could of had the ball bounce the other way in close games and had 6 wins. for the fans, a playoff game was cool.....but that shouldn't erase the fact we were a bottom tier offense and not a very good team. 8-9 regular season finish. A game at the end of the season vs the Rams where you lead in the 4th quarter and lost a close one.....I mean, that's also a description of the Falcons. Who blew it up.

Oh, you don't ask him to be the backup. He is just a warm body until you make your move for your QB. If it's a draft pick, you go sign a legit experienced vet to coach him up in the QB room. Maybe you ask him to start a couple games.

I mean, there is no way to know if that is what Carolina is doing or not without them acknowledging it... but it's not really laughable to suggest something we know happens in the NFL could be happening here. Bryce does have a habit of killing plays early. There is a stat that backs him killing more plays bailing on them than virtually everyone else in the league. Which would support the suggestion that he largely has his throw he is supposed to take.

I wouldn’t call him a problem, but Hubbard at this stage isn’t really that good. Really just a dude that should be part of a committee. Since the day we drafted Bryce, I’ve said he needs a real legit receiving RB.

Back dooring into the playoffs was always the path that was going to leave us addressing things poorly

This doesn’t feel like a Canales call. Evero was forced on him to begin with seems to me Tepper is setting the table where if things don’t go well next year……he wipes it all clean

I’ll be honest, Hubbard isn’t really good at this point either. Brooks has been hurt for 2 years and you can’t really count on him as being anything. Backfield is going to need some juice and an addition.

If we bring back Evero, Canales remains OC and BY remains the QB…. it means we aren’t going nowhere. And odds are the ball won’t bounce our way so much in close games next year. Just not how that works. Everything just low ceiling by design at that point Sucks for Icky

Only teams I legit would root against is the Bears and Steelers. I don’t like their QBs. Or Ben Johnson.

Clemson of the NFL. Jags. And if they lose, I’ll pull for the Bills the rest of the way. No support can be given to a NFC team

Every passive and whack play call goes through Dave’s ear. I got little time for a HC that acts helpless to what went on with his team.

If Hunter Renfrow was 6’2….he likely could have stayed on the active roster and made some plays. But he was a tiny guy operating on the opposite side of a massive line with another tiny guy trying to over it and him. Renfrow has most of what a coach loves but he requires a perfect situation for him being so unique to really fit. Bryce would be a great #2. Which is why it’s going to take a change of location in the end. Because he won’t be able to transition here to where he belongs

Well, it’s rare to have great everything. Thats why the pairings matter. Maybe you have a dominate DL and a weak secondary. It can work. Maybe you have a dominate OL and okay RBs. if your OC and QB are both essentially okay to below average then that’s not going to work. Dave needs a QB to help him. Bryce needs an OC to help him. Neither are built to uplift the other. But are in need of the assistance

Evero scheme is just waiting on a greedy QB to make an error. It’s dependent on that vs trying to actually stop someone. No error? Don’t get greedy? Easy work.

I mean teams are stopping the run because it’s the threat and we flat out get favorable passing scenarios. I don’t think Bryce can really take full advantage of what a QB is being given by teams fixated on the run. Teams give us favorable passing scenarios. We couldn’t gain a yard when they played the pass every down the final drive. I’ve always thought Dave would be more Foxball than inventive and needs a QB to lift his O. Canales isn’t great. Which makes the pairing with Bryce not ideal for anyone. Bryce need a great OC. Canales needs a good QB. The always been my take on a simplistic level.

Pitts seems like a classic case of be type player you might pay using a tiny sample size of play to define him…..and he auto goes back to being the guy he pretty much always has been.

Sunday we saw 4 QBs play…. Bryce had the lowest comp %, lowest passing yards, lowest passing TDs And he was good Bryce. Which sort of sums up Bryce’s NFL career to date. His good, is below the pack and at pretty consistent level

He is just too small for me. Not too short just too small. Think he would always be too gadget and scheme dependent. Not saying cut the kid….but we someone we needs someone we can keep on the field and just play in traditional WR sets. He ain’t got the size for it.

Diversity is always good. So we should add speed to the #3. Moore, XL, Renfrow, and Horn ain’t it. And Tremayne should be groomed to backup TMac/Coker.

This season’s success really had more to do with the D than O….. and I think Evero stinks. But that’s a reality folks should acknowledge. The D made better strides and had more impact than the O. So you got to acknowledge that when planning ahead. and please note I support replacing Evero

Coker is a legit #2. He might actually be better than Tmac. what we need is a legit YAC slot player and a pass catching TE. But some of that will get into the O scheme and QB. But we got 2 legit WRs in Carolina to play on the outside.

Bridge tier QB. If you put Atlanta to the side, great games flat out have never existed in his 3 year career. And his good isn’t on par with good games of other NFL QBs. There comes a ceiling with Bryce that isn’t undeniable and that just isn’t what any team in the NFL longs for. He can be the QB next year, you just can’t pay him because we have to be looking for the actual future at the QB spot. he played a very good game for Bryce yesterday…..and every QB that played yesteray (and no one was great) generated more offense for their teams. And we got legit weapons. I don’t care where Coker was drafted. No one feels sorry for Stafford because Puca was a late pick.
