I'll just say, he was a great player in his career. Seemed to be a quality individual. So why would they be opposed to trying him out in his home area post playing career? Because he was drafted by losers?

In the broad sense of a lot of turnover, yep.

Usually this type of thing is someone asking for a favor, getting a tryout. Who is here that was connected with him when he was in Pittsburgh, besides Tepper? (okay maybe he was not not there who am I thinking of?) Somehow I got this in bullet points and can’t find how to change it. Oh well...

In the absence of info, yeah. We don’t know it had anything to dop with Tepper. We were told nothing. If it were health related, we might have been told. But maybe not. We just do not know why he is no longer in the job.

The downside to signing two guards to big deals is, if Icky struggles again, can’t slide him inside. It has gotten progressively tougher to project LOT coming out of college I know that. We are going to find out about him this year. It might need to be a thing where you draft a flyer later every year until one works.

Who are the guys next to him? I don’t remember which of the newer players it was but a couple are listed as the same size as Young. I was waiting for a chance to see them side by side.

Okay, Phil said that? But not in that clip did he? I thought it was a pretty good description these little guys’ games. Bryce is almost too slow for that though.

I agree with Madden, 100. Bryce needs to start all games this year no matter which end is up. Only exception is if he gets injured and we start winning. What can you do then? Keep him out and keep winning. Or if not too much damage is done, get him back on the field ASAP.

Responding to faking height. If you had some tightly wound braids on top of your head, be about the only thing that comes to mind that might get you a little extra.

It'a called grasping at straws, any port in a storm, desperation inducing confusion and panic, that sort of thing. I don’t have any idea if he can do it. It may just be a dumb idea that could never work. Which fits the general situation. I was going on the thought that if there are no bad habits to unlearn... it may be a shorter way to get something that isn’t that meander, the crappy footwork, the hitch... the no driving the ball... which I'm a broken record on it but that sort of thing is no easy fix at that level of competition.

Adapt or die. They need a little extra than what’s in their old books.

They have to get that hitch out. I have said, with no credentials past common sense, if they teach him the 3 5 7 step thing they may be able to avoid the hitch he has in his footwork in the gun. He meanders and lollygags with that 'scan the field casual retreat' that he loves... and then has the hitch when he does move to throw. It is no good and hard to change. But if they do that straight up dropback and teach him That... maybe no bad habit. Like y’all are saying. Plant, throw. lol then all you have left to worry about is he can’t see the field and that 'on the weak side' arm.

I never saw a cooler play than in that bowl game. He never really lived up to that but hey, still makes some plays. He was like, ‘nah fug y’all we win’ end of story.

I think we have maderr some improvements. Stumble to 6-11.

Pretty cool. Enjoying that one,

The day before it gets to me that bad, which they are very close, you will see my last complaint. And no one will care. I am 69. My dad played college ball and coached high school so I have been around the sport. Did not need the money to go to college at the time, it wasn’t THAT expensive then, in state, and turned down a couple of smaller school offers as the thought of having to live in the dorms with coaches up my butt ALL year not just football season when realistically I was not going tp make the NFL. It goes back to my measureables putting me where Young’s put him. I saw him throw. He has a ton of other stuff working against him. Why is this even a question?

I bet anything there were people who would not have hIm in the first round. They couldn’t come out and say it. Some have physical standards. If I were running a team we would miss on some people because of it but we would have established and quantified physical characteristics that need to be met. All wow he so smart and cute ...with zero 'hey this is the NFL we are talking about'. Political analogies are abundant but I am not allowed to articulate that on this ---- --- forum.

All for it. They have wasted so many of my remaining years to enjoy the team and the sport, and they just keep extending that window like it is no big deal. I do not have a lot of years left. Get the fug on with it.

They don’t trade the real ones. They stay in that pick no matter what. That is your first clue. You don’t need or get another.

I just want them all to be crucified, hard, for their greed.

That's the truth.

We don’t even know if the QB can hang in the NFL and all this crap is being done to prop him up. And if they prop him up enough, THAT is supposed top be our guy. I really need better to have any enthusiasm at all. Honestly it pisses me off to going into a season with the likes of Young at the helm.

Appreciate the post.

Wouild’t you expect the O to take a step up after what has been invested in the last two drafts?

Okay so when is that changing? How does it change, and how do we operate in the meantime?
