Made sense though given what they invested. That he would be defaulted to open up to see if it was just Frank and get it figured out quick But it all highlights how poorly run we are. Not repping Bryce all preseason is the definition of a poorly run team. Biggest fail was not adding a young QB to the mix given how the stage was setup IMO

Easy money is on Tepper no matter what Canales said. It’s fits Tepper’s ways of doing business…..and it sure didn’t sound like Canales was even entertaining the thought

heck, trade Bryce. His value is as high as it can get. Some team will think they can fix and play him.

Dave Canales sure didn't sound like a guy that thought benching Bryce on the table. I personally think David Tepper is done w/ Bryce Young. Tepper has a billion flaws. Acquiring Bryce highlights many of them. But people uniquely painted Tepper as someone that was fixated on sticking with Bryce. Tepper dumps people quick. And hard. That literally is David Tepper in a nutshell. Given what Bryce cost....this is quick. I think it's Tepper.

he doesn't have the tools. not for NFL conditions. he has the tools for ideal conditions. QBs can put ball in places and in certain scenarios that are off the table for Young.

what plays against separation....is the DBs aren't having to respect all the potential of a route. I think to an extent in hindsight, Frank's operation saw some of that. Harder to get separation when DBs mentally know route they are defending is limited to only be able to threaten or be run in a handful of ways. Which maybe we haven't talked enough about. You line Johnson up outside with Big Ben throwing....DB has to think about all the things Johnson can do. That helps separation occur. Now insert Bryce, and the DB narrows down the options of the route and odds and over plays what is most likely going to occur....separation gets really tough there. Doesn't matter how great you run routes......if the DB essentially can run the route.

Chuba averaged 6 yards a pop Sunday Saints game was over so quick hard to run

they are salesman/showman with an over fixation on personal brands. Don't let politics blind the comparison. The politics of one or the other is irrelevant here. It's a good fair comparison that I didn't invent. You can google that. who essentially lives an every day reality show? who is fixated on personal brand? who demands the oxygen and eyeballs of everyone? who is more fixated on the salesmanship vs the substance? who thinks the media should be his ally or villainizes them? who is in charge of an operation yet fixated on cosmetic/PR aspects? who has nepotism as the foundation of their operation? and then now today....

but again, why not add more talent to the roster for when Bryce imploded.....that fit what you wanted to do. It results in a wasted year. You aren't developing any of the talent with that logic. So next QB eventually comes in and Mingo, XL, Saunders and literally the entire roster of talent wasn't getting the routine development and time they should of been.

Miles Sanders isn't a good RB. He is a one dimensional RB who once played on a good team/behind a great OL

I think you have to vote ( I just did). Then you hover of the by the number of each section and click on it and it will bring up who voted for each.

which was an additional red flag going in......because XL is exactly what Dave's O have been about. Chunk pass plays downfield. So it basically is the Panthers intentionally and knowingly doing bad marriages. which would have been okay......if they just went ahead and added some young talent behind Bryce that fit for when the obvious happened. But they didn't.

I mean, at this point, yeah. What I find the most easy to figure out once your fandom is basically dead.....are the obvious bad marriages and build under Tepper. Take going into this year. Literally NO human when asked.... Describe what a coaching staff should look like that could possibly fix a busted out young Bryce Young? Would answer....well we should give him an OC that has never done the job before. Also, we should also pair him up w/ a HC who has never done the job before either....and the icing on that is he should have an incredibly weak resume, that runs counter to what Bryce in theory would perform well in, and let him call the plays too. And that's not even about Dave Canales specifically. It just doesn't make sense how you think that does anything.

I mean, over the years I have gotten more wrong than right. But starting Matt Rhule's year 2, in that camp, my gut calls have been pretty dang spot on overall.

Last 8 drafts....you saw 2 different teams pull off the back to back #1 overall feat I mean, the league is designed for parity and so that teams hopefully don't. So you largely see the effects of that. But you still have to look at a case by case scenario for when uniquely horrible teams emerge. Which is us. We are uniquely bad. Go to Vegas right now see the difference

I have developed a nose for bad football

yeah, that's not true. if all things were equal for 32 teams, the odds wouldn't be great that the same team would land it 2 years back to back. But all things aren't equal.

But to a degree it’s sort of a unique carve out to apply to Tepper that runs contrast to everything else about him Tepper literally makes decisions….and has zero problem going in a different direction. Thats essentially the description and definition of him in everything he is doing. He does it over and over. Maybe Tepper was the final stamp on Bryce at the time. But it’s not the Tepper way to be overly loyal to a decision just because at one time he thought it was good.

Dalton is trash would Dalton throw balls downfield to help XL, Mingo and Saunders grow and develop? Yes. We saw that in Seattle. Bryce sucking stunts everyone from growing and answering their own questions

Yeah, I have watched only 10 minutes of his career…..and he has already made passes Bryce literally can’t

looks like he maxed out at 12 yards down field. you don’t need to play video game ball but that’s just not attempting to have a functional O. You can’t make life that easy on a D. It’s not even about completing them at this point.

I think Caleb could be potentially as disappointing. So cheer for that

The big tell….is the well all are part. The end would have just been classic player talk. The first part is irritation at Bryce/Canales. and he has been around for a minute. The put it on tape part matters. He is a prime example. Tank it for X talk is only popular here. These dudes need plays. Plays is how they make money. This is a pit stop for many. They don’t care who plays QB or calls plays. It’s a business. They need plays.

I think you had to call that last PI.
