I mean, Bryce Young’s skill set is small ball. He just doesn’t have the skill talent to play that game. nothing wrong with small ball if it is highly efficient. But you need the skill players. Brady did it in New England late in his career. But he had the talent that suited it. Awesome TE, elite slot players, pass catching RBs.

NFL teams operate like mom and pop shops. Tepper hires the people that officially make the decisions and is in on all the big decisions. so when we trade CMC, mortgage everything for a rookie QB, RH implodes, hire new coaches ….those are decisions Tepper is in on.

Carolina clearly got the worst out of Baker. At least statistically. He was better with the Rams too. Think Sam was statistically his worst here too Cam his worst in round 2. Bryce currently playing the worst of first rounders It’s the Tepper curse.

Frank and Wilks are basically the same thing. One an offensive variant. One a defensive variant. and that’s what you get when you have egg on your face for going after something different in college. An overcorrection back to NFL retreadville. And then you surround Frank with dinosaurs like Dom and Caldwell lol. Best thing about the staff was the coordinators and Frank won’t let the OC be the OC.

it’s only PI if it gets called

imagine: Saints Bucs Falcons and Ron Rivera. All 2-0.

You do. And our record was a product of our schedule and how that matched up playing in a Time Machine. So it doesn’t really mean much presently. We weren’t playing good football last year. We could barely compete a forward pass to finish the year.

Panthers beat teams with horrific run defenses. Because Wilks played 1960s football. if he saw a good team, it was over in the first quarter we were a bad team last year. No matter the coach. Wilks is just a decent coach and did the only thing possible to look respectable on Sunday.

Ok. I forgot about him. Blind squirrel.

Fitts best FA add to date was PJ Walker. Let that sink in.

Clemson is ranked #23. Everyone knows the coaches poll is the only irrelevant pre CFP ranking poll that matters.

Nothing really. Because his draft picks are too young to judge. Incomplete grade there. so really all you can do is judge his free agents and contracts. And he hasn’t been good there.

They didn’t switch offenses. They switched what pages of the playbook and calls were going to be made. It was Wilks telling the same OC to run the ball. They didn’t learn a new offense mid season

I mean, the Saints and Bucs aren’t rebuilding. They inserted vet QBs into what they deem as solid rosters. It’s basically where Rhule had us. We could have done that. It would have been keeping CMC. Keeping Moore. And bringing in someone like a Mitch Trubisky or some other castoff.

Because you literally can’t trade every human of value. We did trade away a LOT to kick off the rebuild. The one that features all new coaches, schemes, and a #1 overall pick we hope to build around

I’ll care about wins after the bye week. This is about developing a QB and figuring out what we should do around him. Saints should win this one fairly easy pending we don’t get some big D plays or the Saints shoot themselves in the foot.

You are right. And it’s why Miles Sanders had his one good season last year as a rusher despite being meh at the rest of the job. The OL is great and teams have to worry about everything else not named the RB rushing. which is why Philly didn’t value him and we overpaid

Marty had some key adds that got us to the Super Bowl in 2003 and to then back to NFCCG in 2005. Marty got really bad when the lockout talk started. Prior to that, Marty was decent.

Go for it

Penalties did feel a little one sided. Think that cheap shot on the 2 way player made it feel justified to a degree but Colorado is doing a good mix too Sheduer Sanders going with the classic WWF eye poke on the CSU defender that keeps wrecking the OL https://x.com/redditcfb/status/1703252336296992880?s=46&t=f55N0zsNFevD-XGJBWj1-A

This isn’t what I would call a good college football matchup up though. It’s just media relevant. these two programs combined for 4 wins last year

Nonsense was going on all pregame between the two teams too. They merely let it continue. I’m guessing it gets real dumb when one team actually starts to pull away

They sort of touched on it in this broadcast, but injury frankly has derailed a lot of the Clemson WRs the last couple years. I mean take a Justyn Ross. He single handedly won the last Natty. Dominant. Then was hurt. Never really recovered while at Clemson. Turner always hurt. Collins. Lot of their dudes just ain’t staying healthy. So it could be some of that really factoring and not that they don’t have talent coming in at WR.

Bama making me feel kinda good about the state of Clemson’s forward pass dumpster fire

I put Michigan slightly out of that tier and in the next in terms of this CFP era…just because they have never won a game in the end. But it’s splitting hairs probably. In fact I might would have to put them alone on their tier because I don’t love lumping them in with Notre Dame, OU and the likes.
