travisura

If BigKat bought this place, we'd know. That dude loves telling everyone here about his financials, to the point where it feels like bragging. I think he just likes to create new threads for every new thought that pops into his head.

There are two outcomes of Tepper receiving mainstream ridicule: 1. He realizes his mistakes and rectifies the situation by lessening his impact on decision making. (He'll never remove himself completely, no owner does.) 2. He doubles, triples, and quadruples down on his idea that he's the decision maker, and he'll desperately try to prove the doubters wrong with attempt after attempt to finally get it right. I'll leave it up to y'all to determine which is the more likely outcome.

Adapting to different personnel wasn't exactly a hallmark of Frank's tenure here.

Chip Kelly brought it to the league, and we were running RPO with Cam before 2017, but your point stands. It just doesn't add up that if he's known for an RPO offense, he would refuse to utilize one.

Oh boy

So what's changed between now and then that is making him unwilling to incorporate RPO now?

So they fired him for not running something that he's never historically run. This is on Tepper and the FO for not knowing who they hired and the system he runs, and saddling him with a QB that doesn't fit that system. This organization is something else, I tell ya.

That's a very standard length for a podcast.

That was with Hurney. We can't hit on any of them anymore.

If this isn't a microcosm of the comedy of errors that is this franchise.

I'm not even counting on the classic "Win the first game after the coach gets fired" to happen

We won't know exactly how much of this is Bryce's fault until he's under a new staff and has WRs who can get separation.

He 100% turned it down, I'm sure of it

There were some packages with two TEs and I think an extra tackle that resembled the Arbys package from last season that were run early in the game against the Cowboys on Sunday. Greg pointed it out on the broadcast.

It can always be worse. The pit can always be deeper.

Oh, it could be so much worse than just being 0-10. You're giving the Huddle way too much credit here.

Evero turned down the Bronco's offer to make him interim last year. He's my pick, but I doubt he takes it if offered.

Of course there's a way, don't be ridiculous.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if no one is fired until the end of the season, and maybe not even then. I guess we can look forward to the "Is Frank fired yet?" threads every week tho.

Something tells me our pass blocking scheme is not suited to the personnel at hand. Just an idea I just came up with myself.

That's fair, but I just can't help but think that Lions and Browns fans would laugh at us complaining about a mere 6 years of losing. If they can turn it around, then certainly the Panthers can too.

There's a lot of hubris on this board regarding how well they'd do at the GM job. It's not an easy one, and I would not trust one single poster on this board to do a good job in that role. *Obligatory disclaimer that this statement doesn't mean I don't want Fitts fired, because I know how y'all love to misconstrue arguments*

Not to buck the melodrama in this thread, but I will always follow this team, no matter how dark it gets. I'll never not be interested in how they're doing. The bad times make the good times sweeter, and things won't be bad forever.

That's fair, and he did do a good job of restoring respectability and stabilizing the ship. He should be commended for that, I just believe with all context considered, it is not a stretch to believe that he would not be the best HC candidate available. Unfortunately, we have Tepper making those decisions, so now in hindsight he looks miles better than what we have now.

Absolutely. People either forget or purposefully discount how GMs devalue future picks. A 2024 and 2025 first round pick doesn't mean a whole lot to a GM in 2022 whose seat is warming up.
