I know and they are both 2nd rounders. One more second round bust at WR will seem fitting.

We'll go with the old tried and true Panthers method, draft one in the 2nd round.

Bagent may throw some picks, but he can score TDs too. Thus leaning on the defense to get the victory. If Fields starts, he may be rusty, but that's still probably good enough to beat us.

Haynes won't be ready, I don't think. That's going to leave us super thin at OLB. That sucks because holding Chicago scoreless would be our best chance of winning.

Don't think for a second the Giants aren't going to be looking very hard at this QB class. They can get out from under Jones' contract after the 2024 season. This also give the rookie a year to sit if need be.

At least he cashed in during the offseason. That's the reason you don't cave to demands of players at key positions looking for their bag that's not generational. I'm all about paying guys what they are worth, but overpaying dudes because they think they are worth the figure in their heads is another. Kyler Murray is another example. Teams balk for a reason (they have reservations about the player) then cave and almost immediately regret it. Add Brian Burns to that list in the offseason while we lack a first round pick and saddled with a huge cap number.

That man is a DOOFUS!

Again. Problem was Tepper gave full control to a college hack who had no business being a NFL head coach, let alone have full control of personnel decisions.

I took a screenshot and posted it in the game day thread. Young was at -9 yards passing about half way through the 2nd quarter. In the 4th quarter as team's defenses are protecting leads is where Young is padding his stats. They concede the underneath stuff and coincidentally where he thrives.

When your the boss, there's is no moral equivalency. If the product is suffering where the head man had a major role in it, he's not going to fire himself, so he'll find a lackey. The terms 'fall guy' and 'scapegoat' exist for a reason.

So who else would have rode with Dalton this year and took a stab at one of these fellas?

You are a funny dude. I despise Tepper and have given up on Fitterer, but sure, I am supporting them. I am giving Frank the benefit of a doubt, but that somehow means I support Fitterer and Tepper. The crazy dots you be connecting man...

Anything other than drafting a rookie QB wasn't an option. If you can't see that my man, you are in need of a walking stick and a seeing-eye dog. Tepper was done with FA QBs with marginal success.

Wilks would not have taken Bryce, correct? However, if Bryce is still here and starts the season, nothing much is different under Wilks. I'm sure Wilks would have told Tepper to STFU and drafted Stroud though, right? You could always jump ship to the Raiders.

Would you take Andy Reid if he got fired tomorrow? Old white guy about to turn 66-years old...just curious.

Okay, show me a significant difference. One thing, can't blame the organization. This is purely on coaching.

I've already said it in another post in this thread. Frank was dealt a pretty crappy hand and he's having to make the best of it. He's not blameless, but the scouting department, GM and owner has given him one hell of a mountain to climb. Wilks wasn't a bad interim coach, but I don't think he's a great HC. He's best as a coordinator. Say what you will at his gig for the Cardinals, but if you think he failed because of his surroundings, then it would be ignorant not to give Frank a pass given very similar circumstances.

Furthermore was it Tepper that nixed Carr? I was well in the minority wanting a bridge QB and waiting to the 2024 draft for a QB. I bet Tepper told Fitterer he had better get a QB this draft or else....that he was done with FA QBs.

My gut feeling is Tepper either said or implied he wanted Bryce and that influenced the decision making of everyone else. Yes, everyone EVENTUALLY came to an agreement on drafting Young, but I doubt that agreement came purely organically from each individual below Tepper.

I think it is time for Fitterer to get let go. I feel bad to an extent because of a meddling owner. That said, I think Morgan has the cajones to stand up to Tepper. It's either gonna go one of two ways if Morgan is Fitterer's successor, either Dan will hold the GM title a very short time due to insubordination or Tepper will actually respect someone that pushes back on his BS.

I'm still defending Reich, but have thrown the towel in on Fitterer. He had one last chance to fix some of his prior goofs by dealing Burns. He stood firm, which means he's all in on this season of which to any other onlooker is a rolling dumpster fire on a collision course with a gas station pump. Had he invested into the future by getting capital and admitting this season is toast, at least it would have shown ownership of said past errors. Frank inherited this mess. He's not totally blameless, but he's a lot further down the totem pole in the blame game than the scouts, Fitterer and the Teppers.

The Chargers gave up on Brees because he had a very significant shoulder injury, throwing arm no less. He was also a free agent and they happened to draft Phillip Rivers the year prior. This comparison couldn't be more off other than they both lack ideal height. If the implication is Brees didn't light it up early on, that could be said of most rookies, but the tools were there for Drew. Bryce is lacking the physical tools, being short is only one of his limitations.

I say under because the transplant curiosity seekers in Charlotte will buy tickets too. Then you have the corporate seats and the too expensive seats. Cowboy fans won't quite take up 80% of the stadium, but it will be close.

I didn't get any return on my PSLs when I let them go, but at least I'm not wasting money anymore. It's nice not having to get up and rush to get to the tailgate while spending money on gas, tailgate food, beer, parking and a few overpriced items inside the stadium only to come home more times than not pissed off only to begin a new work week the next morning. Yep, I don't miss that at all.

We have one game to the contrary and it was the one that Bryce was hurt. Outside of the pre-snap penalties that stymied drives, the offense was able to move the ball.
