Just like they kept Teddy and Baker around. Sam's 5th year option forced their hand. Or Cam. I think they ship him off for anything they can get to just get him out of here. A conditional 7th sounds about right.

More like relief from seeing a competent move they wouldn't make last year.

At least he isn't Watson. We can easily move on. I'm ready for it even if it still needs to play out. If that trade wasn't so bad we could have already.

Yeah Evero has to be the hottest coaching seat. I'm not sold on Tepper not caring. If this all truely falls on DM and DC then they are not going to survive long anyways. Hard to overcome such a bad start and facing a pissed of HC next game. Yeash

I would love to see him eat poop but not at the teams expense. Whatever goes down in this mess is anyone's guess at this point but that guy has shown incredibly poor taste at all levels so it's likely to be entertaining.

I didn't read the entire piece by Fowler but don't they still report to him? Are there still weekly meetings? He hired them that's for sure. It's like with the draft PR. It all looked intentional and almost like an alibi, that weird bar sign skit thingy sticks out. I know he wanted new faces to negotiate the stadium deal because of the bridges he's burnt locally but it always looked like a PR facelift to me. They promoted the AGM and then hired his friend with a consultant firm and Jim Caldwell. If any of that is really true then they shouldn't have to play Young and it's in their hands to make the choice right? The entire thing is hilariously not genuine to me on any level. They can't do this but Tepper isn't hands on the operations now? That seems to be a hands on type thing so which is it really because the entire Byce thing becomes proof it was always BS to some extent. If he is going to axe someone it won't be DC first. Caldwell would be a warning shot and Morgan or Evero would be next is my guess.

I'm getting drunk and laughing.

Next year? Hahahaha no. I don't think he is on the roster at that time.

It would be hard to not laugh at the absurdity of it. Tepper has a history petty behavior so it could be something in that route. Sorry was going a store run and typed quickly, it's hard to be serious about any of this.

That would be sooooo bad for the team. The way he treats people he could do anything when it happens.

The media is turning. The stadium turned last year and it's the worst opening day I can remember. And the employees could revolt. He was throwing drinks last year. Sunday was really bad even by opening day standards. Tickets are not selling. IDK but something will break eventually on this trajectory

They need a little longer to give it the try everyone expects to see but how much longer is now the question. Some think Tepper forces it all year and others expect something to give. It's brutal out there today for them and it's not going to just magically get better. Hell the home opener could be awful

Depends on Tepper if it's an oops or not. He will probably be seen as the hero by everyone else. A couple more games like that and he doesn't need an excuse out of that house. Maybe play the IR card just to save face and see if they can get a 6th instead of a 7th for him. IDK but it's already justifiable to the masses.

It's happening and Tepper may force it way longer. I tuned out last year because I couldn't watch it and it had to take it's course. This year the excuses are done and something will give eventually. DC isn't an old HC already making retainment plans. I would be thrilled to see him say fug it and bench Young, but again too soon for that.

His O is fine. Nothing ground breaking but it works with a QB that can step up and throw the ball. Geno, baker, it's not a mystery. They also put most of their offseason recourses into building it up. Him as a HC and the state of the team is his biggest issue. That is an entirely different conversation.

Maybe even 6'. I don't know. It's not sub 6'. That is a later pick, toss the dice territory to me.

It turned when it cost them a SB. Guys started to speak up and had to be moved. No one wants to be embarrassed. Johnson is in a contract year. The D will be pissed about how poorly the O is helping. That's where the friction comes from here vs what went down in Seattle. Completely different reasons but it could get ugly here. It's that bad and has been for way too long. Hell they could just give up, not sure we haven't seen a preview of that already.

The small guys have to have enough speed to create space or they are easy meat in the NFL. Even then it's such an uphill battle. Wilson did it until his speed dropped off and he is toast. Murray is all physical and a waste of a 2nd contract, what a waste of great WRs he has had. I don't know what the actual number is but there is a height that is needed to run a full offense. 5'10' isn't it

Yeah it was a marriage built to fail. Rhule year 3 and QB savior #3. I wanted the Baker that left here and not Cleveland, he still wasn't ready then. Add in the other 2 expensive moves they massively failed with there was just so much WTF about it all. I think Wilks was the first step in his rehabilitation. Sitting behind Darnold and OJ when he was the better QB on paper must have been the wakeup call and motivation to get his head out of his butt.

No idea yet and it's still too early for them to make that call. And getting hid on IR is the same thing to me. It's a big test for DC and DM. The mystery is over and I just don't see anyone getting a pass for much longer at this rate.

They just spent 150 million on OGs to run behind, you can even throw behind them or should be able to. Their D needs the O to run a lot this year apparently. They could run behind that line with mediocre QB play. Worse would the team breaking around him. Watch this about Wilson and tell me there is no danger in allowing things to get out of hand with the QB. Link. That was with a QB that could get into the playoffs. I don't think you are taking into account internal pressure last year. Tepper and the game of thrones they had going on. I don't think Reich wanted to play school ball and just checked out when he wasn't allowed to do what he wanted over and over along with all the other things going on personally. At this point why not just play Young another game or two to see if anything changes or can be tweaked and then sit him if not? If an over the hill guy like Dalton can make that offense look good then Young should be done. What they spent on him is moot, sunk cost and doesn't change anything at this point. The deep ball is a joke and he can't hit open guys. The run game can't get going because it was blitz city and any opponent we see should be doing that. He looks good playing his school ball when the D is in prevent/garbage time/gas off the throttle. It literally takes a team like GB last year who couldn't get pressure against that line to make it look like it will work. The real question is when will everyone acknowledge these things and just make the obvious move?

There are no good options and at some point they are going to have to have the obvious conversation they have avoided for more than a year. There were reports Reich wanted to sit him. I don't know what a solid game plan with him would be? Play a very bad team with no secondary or pass rush I guess. The Saints know this team very well but they are not a good team IMO.

The 2019 D was SOFT. Guys just out there getting sacks and avoiding any run responsibilities. Rivera had issues but he also had positives. I still don't think this team has had a great GM or HC yet.

I will hate going into that kind of pick to just watch people who earned it to use. It's beyond ridiculous. Tanking shouldn't be done in week 2, let's talk tanking strategies much later in the year when it all happened organically. This crew has a couple of weeks to work with what they have and then it's going to be hard to not talk about benching Bryce. They are still in early season 'adjust, fix it and didn't prepare' fluff phase.
