Not only not trading him, declining not just one but TWO golden opportunities to do so, but then not getting a contract done on top of it. This has been an egregious failure and Burns has exercised every bit of leverage the team willingly surrendered to him by turning down that king's ransom from the Rams.

Wilks is a poor strategist - he has proven that many times over the years. Him being better than Rhule was enough to warrant the job

Unfortunately, there is more the being a good coach than just being a leader of men. Sure helps, though.

At least the high ceiling part.

You're not wrong, but the throw was still weak and in the wrong place. Both Mingo and Bryce share the failure.

Under his ownership the franchise has unquestionably moved from the 'inconsistent but occasionally interesting' tier to competing for the mantle of worst in the NFL. Just a steady downward trend since 2018.

Man, these flags are just weak. Fug Dallas.

And a kick out of bounds right before half. Jesus Christ.

Derek Brown beating an elite player. Very nice.

Jesus, I've watched for 4 plays and this is pathetic.

And what a lameass penalty.

5 passing yards... El Oh El.

Why in the world would someone in that position ever admit that openly? Just mind-boggling.

Except, he doesn't have every trait, and also doesn't have the benefit of the doubt afforded by proven track record of these guys (moreso Wilson than Murray, obviously)? Comparing single game performance like this is ridiculous, just like trying to draw vast conclusions based on a handful of rookie games is also ridiculous. Bryce appears a very limited QB at this point but the jury is definitely still out on everything except his arm strength/lack thereof, which is the same as it's always been.

The Texans was a spoiler game.

Very few that didn't show success in their first stop.

No need for the 'at drafting' qualifier. There isn't really anything they don't suck at right now.

Who the hell comes up with these totally esoteric, arbitrary 'stats'/'milestones'? Do people actually care that much?

Carolina is 5-10 all-time vs the Cowboys including the playoff wins. Just sayin'.

"At that depth, implosion means you become less a biology thing and more a physics thing."

Not my job to hire coaches, nor am I obligated to solve these self-inflicted problems. As far as being a 'real fan', just can it with that crap already. I've been one since 1995 but damn, fanhood doesn't mean you have to tolerate acute incompetence and can't call out the suck when it's there. If you still feel like being a cheerleader then go for it, but the rest of us tired of the easily-avoidable errors Tepper and his people keep making will keep discussing the objective reality of the team. This is the last time I will be responding to you on this topic. You have not proven any point at all and will apparently continue to keep the rose-colored blinders on. We don't have much in common at this point.

Like watching Teddy all over again, but somehow even worse.

2001 team would have a good shot. 2010 might if the running game got rolling, as that defense was pretty competent.
