and I do not for a second think Tepper believes he's the problem. I think he thinks his decisions were the problem. There's a massive difference there, because he'll just "buckle down" and try to figure it out himself, instead of doing the smart thing and "firing" himself and getting a football person in to take over.

Ugh, to think that of the three options we picked the worse one... Hell, the worst QB in the entire class so far... With AR, we are probably still drafting #1 just because of his injury. But man, he looked so dynamic when he was playing. So much to look forward to. Stroud probably has this team in the playoff hunt until the last couple weeks of the season (because our division sucks) and we still probably have Reich as a coach lol. I think our offensive weapons aren't good, but aren't nearly as bad as people say, which is why when BY was "on" for a couple quarters, they looked pretty good. Decent QB play elevates everyone...

oh for sure, lol, Bryce has thrown some terrible passes. no point in arguing which of them has been worse. Certainly Bryce is the bigger disappointment given the investment in him. Fwiw I agree in principle on your Dalton comment but I think that we'd still see how bad the offense is, and that we are lacking in a true receiving threat. Things can turn around very quickly in the NFL with the right coaching and a couple key players (and notably, better QB play, how ever we achieve that), but with Fitterer looking to be safe, I don't think we need to worry about that happening.

this is, uh, a very low bar to hit at this point, lol

I think BY is a direct response to the fact Tepper let his people pass on a certain QB during the 2021 draft... He saw what happened and was determined not to let it happen again.

Ehh, Theilen's only .3 YPR less than last year... While that is a decent chunk less he's been trending down for the last few years (12.5 -> 10.8 -> 10.3 ... Now 9.9). Evans would be doing worse than he is now for sure, but def still over 1k yards. I think Evans would make the catches Chark has been dropping and then some. I don't think Evans is a sideline distraction, is he? Tbh I don't follow the Bucks that well. I mean Robby renamed himself to Chosen, which should tell us all we need to know about him.

Lol in the real world... It's a fuging football stadium and Tepper was in a private booth. Consequences lol

Some fuging billionaire owner acts like a child and throws a beer at an opposing teams fan and you say... We're all sinners? I'm not the face of an NFL franchise lol

Wow what a game

Gotta go bpa at any position, which includes QB. Bryce isn't the answer, but we also shouldn't force a QB at 33 when there's likely to be great prospects there. But if we get a new GM / coach and there's a QB they are really sold on at 33...

Gotta hold the owner to a higher standard than a random drunk fan...

That's all fair, I just mean that while you're right about Fields teasing with talent, we would instead be making a very different set of moves in the 2023 offseason than we did... Ah well.

If we'd drafted Fields tho we never would have made the trade for Bryce...

What a fuging clown

A few good throws / quarters can give us some hope but it doesn't erase the overwhelming majority of the time he plays where he looks like garbage. He'll get some time next year but man... Really looks like a bust, and I would be astonished if he ever ended up better than an average starter for any team in the future, as that would already be a HUGE leap.

you do realize defending 40 yards to the goal line is actually MUCH harder than defending... the whole field, right? this defense isn't all world at all, but given injuries and the shitty pieces, it's performing generally better than expected. But man is it bad against the run, lol

the Packers got Jaire Alexander back, who had been out for weeks... ofc now they've benched him but he is definitely gonna improve that defense. also jesus this prevent defense nonsense... some of you guys, hahahaha. Seems you didn't watch the game, which I can't blame you given this team blows. But if you want to actually look at the defensive alignments of the Packers, go for it: No prevent defense until the last ~20 seconds of the game... Down by 14, I mean on the 3rd and 12 throw to Chark there are 6 packers rushing the passer, lol. Who runs a prevent defense with 6 pass rushers. Or in the redzone with a blitzing player coming after Young on BOTH of his TD throws to Chark. Hell, on the second TD pass they bring a blitzer, Bryce is flushed from the pocket and finds Chark in the back corner... Want to call those last 2 throws stat padding against a prevent? hahaha okay, sure, whatever you want. I have no problem with people shitting on Young, he's done plenty to deserve it, but this hilarious need to describe opponents defenses as prevent is confusing.

I'd be happy for him to stay. Just not for 30 mill per season.

I for one prefer my quarterbacks to suck in the 4th quarter but well in the first!

Man dude Bryce has blown all 4 quarters of most games. Calling the last couple weeks stat padding is bonkers tho. Leading come backs and last week only being let down by zebras and the defense...

We may not be the most attractive job but Johnson is a dude that turned Goff into a winner again so I doubt he's too worried about his QB right at the start. While we poo on Tepper, willingness to spend on coordinators etc is probably attractive. The whole question is if he can convince coaches he really will let them do their thing without interference. It's why I think hiring a president would be the right move, signals a real change in how he plans to be involved, then.

Man a lot of us are also pretty tired of Burns. I like him but not for what he'd cost us. Ready to move on...

With the WR class so deep, I think we probably go there top of the 2nd. But I'd love for us to land a quality center in the draft... I thought Bozeman was the answer in the offseason but it doesn't seem so.

If we can see that level of 4th quarter play for a half or full game I'll be pretty excited for a full offseason with him working. I think it's important to note how well DJ Chark played, too. If those two could get chemistry going, I suspect Chark is still going to be pretty cheap...

His agent still disputes the report entirely. Meh.
