We don’t have the level of talent to really make a comparison but washed up Jared Allen helped us a lot. Just in spots but he made a difference. Age can be dealt with. Don’t kill their stamina and use them in the high leverage situations, as much as you can orchestrate that. It depends, is he some kind of final piece? Maybe not for a SB but might be a difference maker in your division? If you can work the money out and it doesn’t restrict your other goals in terms of your roster then you probably do it.

Talk about bottom feeding. NYJ and now the Titans? What, Raiders turned him down?

I must have messed some context here. And have had a couple of liters of ale. So I defer to whatever the hell you are talking about. I was talking about where you pick in a draft. Upcoming situation where there has yet to be a consensus ‘best’ meaning for this conversation the 2027 QB draft rankings. A number of possibly viable players. Which devalues the top pick. But it’s still the top pick. And there is the Tepper blind spot. Not knowing. Knot nowing.

Oh yeah. They took him back in NY because of that SB. He proceeded to do the opposite of good. I ate his first PC up though. “You have to put the proper value on the player”. Sounded great at the time.

All things equal #1 is always better. As long as you can freely trade it you have the ultimate chip. Some years it is a better or more valuable chip but it is always the best one for that season. Incould denigrate Tepper here for not knowing that season stuff, but will restrain myself.

well, be real. He was having success and challenging for a SB trip while we were flailing around like usual in the Tepper era. Pick a year that you wouldn’t have traded outcomes with Buffalo.

Was listening to Chris Simms and he thinks Joe Brady may be promoted. A case of ownership thinking Brady could be hired away and they would rather keep him and lose McDermott. Rather than the inverse. Sounds logical to me. Especially given the timeline. It would be late in the game for this to happen if they didn’t have a plan

Lol yeah. I remember. Bull in a China shop persona too. No tact. I loved him when he took Star and KK I thought we were really on to something. I needed more and more chaser to swallow his bullshit as time went on.

These press people want clicks, they will jump all over smoke, no fire necessary.

I looked it up, Tomlin was not promoted from within. 1 season as Minnesota DC. They hired him from there. I was thinking he was internally promoted. So I guess maybe no real need to look at who is young inside their org but that’s where I was headed.

Can’t argue that he knew some stuff. Lifers know poo. Not quite as much as he thought though.

Gettleman sucked.

If they want to know, why ask Tepper? WTF can he tell anybody about football? Not to be harsh towards you, the thought of Tepper and football advice just don’t mix for me. Ask him about shorting the dollar or something. He might be a good fit though. They value defensive oriented guys.

Did you listen to it? He ain’t getting that job.

I generally always prefer the guy that has headroom, hasn’t topped out. And is younger.

McDermott is only 51 years old. Steelers could get 15 years out of him pretty easy. And I promise he is better at his job than he was 5 years ago. You don’t stop learning. I actually think he would be a great fit for Pittsburgh, they have a lot of defensive coaches on their hot list.

Well it looks like we are gonna need two OTs within the next couple of years. Our hand is kind of forced here. Think if we had extended Icky and this happens game one 2026. We got lucky in that sense. Ans he may lose his career than he loves but he is under contract for like 17 million. He won’t have a bad life because of no money if he has to retire.

It never is a good spot. Reich would have known exactly what to do with Stroud. The best thing I can say about having Bryce is we got rid of Fitterer. Chicago was really happy we took him, I can safely say.

Lots left to play out. We don’t know Evero will be here. We don’t know what else they might be thinking. And we really don’t know if that is what Morgan is thinking for that matter. Any player that could be available that is a pass rusher will probably get the same treatment with the speculation etc. I have said for years that we are stuck in the 3-4 with Tepper but maybe I am wrong.

They were looking for an excuse I think. This has been in the air all year, they do not like finishing 2nd to NE.

I don’t know about lifelong. I liked Marv Levy a lot. I love the crazy fugs that go out and fill a stadium when it is below zero. I haven’t had a player crush on a Bill, not even OJ. Kind of liked Flutie. Liked Steve Trasker,Tasker whater… gritty ST player. But not crushing on them. And then recently we have had a pipeline of players, coaches, FO, the whole deal. I root for our former people, unless we are playing them. I someone thinks that’s bad, fug what they think.

Stroud needs some mental rehabbing. Change of scenery probably would be best. He still has that form and arm. Just got to clear his head of whatever has gotten into it. Build his confidence back up. If that is possible. It is worth a try.

I can’t say that wouldn’t be great to have, but we Have to have some ILB talent out there.

At the time Canales was hired… a lot of people do not want to hear this but Bryce was a big part of people with other options not wanting to take it on. Tepper’s hard headedness was at the root of the problems but Bryce is a byproduct of that. And you had to buy in completely on Bryce if you wanted the job. So…Dave, step right up.

That would have been much less destructive. He is already an afterthought in Tennessee. I wish we could have afterthoughts. edit: also, Ryan’s seems to be a poster child for not hiring inexperienced one dimensional types to be your HC. No clue how to assemble and oversee an offensive staff. Apparently.
