Some wives probably bitch at home, but if you can avoid Tepperer on game days the stadium isn’t so bad.

I have a tough time figuring how a 1st time OC for the most nothing offense in the league gets any love at all. They produce very little. Piniero is about the only thing to fear. Yet there he is in the polls. Strange and mixed up times. Brown could be good or okay, maybe. He is gonna go as far as his QB goes. I will credit him for being a running back and therefore innately possessing a belief in having a strong running game. So, some hope. I have at least seen some under center. And they seem to know that the end zone is the goal, and they have clear premeditated intent to at least try to throw N>S in that general direction.

So I was listening to Will Brinson interviewed on FNZ and he said - hope I get this straight not his exact words - that the video guy in Jax- whatever fan video they got of interaction with Lord Tepper and his subjects - that there is audio of Tepper in the owner’s box loudly complaining about what Fitterer had done to the team. Maybe start about 3:50 into it to get straight to what I am referencing https://wfnz.com/category/wfnz-podcasts/the-mac-bone-podcast/

No. Exclamation point no! Man, this is so easy to see - people are getting a crick in their neck trying to not look at it. Just look at his pro day when it was set up for him as easy as you please like taking candy from a baby conditions, you will see, or should see, warnings. And think back to the first negative reports from camp: when were they? When the pads went on and there was pressure. More warning signs. It was Bryce Young looks good... and then pads are on and it isn’t that any more.

Honestly all you Bryce stans are easy to see through. It was a mistake and you won’t own it.

Reich was not as bad as he looked here, he got the shaft and responded with a shaft of his own. Took it to Tepper for fuging him over in his last HC opportunity. Good for him. No coach in his right mind takes that player at that price, if they take him at all. That player was forced on the coach by whoever, because I will never believe an ex QB and lifer in the NFL wants to deal with the expectations for, vs the shortcomings of a Bryce Young.

Which deserves to happen. Infamy for those responsible.

Bozeman is about average I think. He probably isn’t the 1st guy you call when you need him to ball out at his job Plus make everyone he interacts with better too. He needs to be with one of those players. 2 or 3 three things come to mind about this year: he has a newborn in his house doesn’t he? And a newborn at work. Make that 4 newborns, one at his home and you know he isn’t getting his rest...and he is literally surrounded on three sides at work with the guards he has to contend with, and of course the QB. Now there seem to be snap/exchange issues to address too.

Yes, p-claw, only a couple people. And the Ravens are getting maximum return right now, but this guy really hadn’t brought home any bacon worth that amount for that length of time, and had a worrisome injury history if I am remembering right. And do remember the playoff version of him. A question yet to be resolved. And he has to stay healthy and produce at high levels for the length of the deal.

Want needs to be tied to reason though. Like, you can want to win Powerball. Do you expect to win? I’d like for him to be that guy. Do I expect it? Obviously from my posts, no. Now as far as what is said here, Bryce Young never told me I was an idiot for thinking he shouldn’t be the pick. That was posters here. It isn’t hating him to negatively comment on his football ability. And I can say something good without it meaning I love him.

I would probably argue that the definition of great changes depending on who is doing the defining, and how they feel about who they are applying it to. If we replace great with NFL level, it is a lot easier to concede that he had a good day. I could root for him as an underdog but, he is no underdog. I mean, this guy had the golden ticket laid on him in high school, he is the media and corporate pick. And I looked and didn’t see why at a glance. So I started looking. Performance only. Serious questions. I believe they are legit and I believe they have manifested on the field. Which brings us to the crossraods here. I never under any circumstances wanted to take a player that so much had to be done to accomodate them, it is about that simple. At that position for what they paid, it was insanity masquerading as ‘we are smarter than you’. Now they are stuck with a job on the line life or death type of situation for a skill set that is a lot closer to what you find in the bottom of the 1st through about the 3rd round. And I feel like that is generous. He has displayed grit and toughness, and I like a lot of what I hear (have never listened to a post game pc, it is other stuff), but it will take a lot more than that to make that arm stretch the field. It is like 2/3 or 3/4 or 7/8 whatever fraction you prefer, short of average. That will not go away. It has to be accounted for. There are things we will simpy never see as long as he is quarterback. Speaking of… I realy loved the sneak fwiw. Favorite play.

He played well. What it looked like to me in general, overall, is that he threw the ball with people on the target. Stuff that people were claiming was covered before (“where do you expect him to throw it?”), he was targeting. Finally. And completing which was the best part. I still have many doubts but he did look better. Big picture: I mean, great, yes, they scored 30 and the D wasn’t in on it. This loss seems to fit as a win in people’s minds so it qualifies for stuff you think and say and hear after wins. One of them is the bad stuff doesn’t seem as bad when you win. And that is true. Easier to live with. But it is still there. That team Green Bay fielded on D wasn’t very good. So what this means who knows. At least the kid had a decent game. We’ll soon see if it was progress. Refs though… have to agree with those complaining about that lost challenge of the deciding play. Not a catch.

Haven’t watched the game.

You aren’t making a connection between what we watched all year and his abilities. Or the limitations imposed by his skill set. Those aren’t in question and don’t need answering. We should discuss what he Can do. What does that look like?

Why go through that pain? We know he sucks. You are now forcing a second coach to try ands make him into something.

3rd rounders grow and develop.

When he tells them to play the best players I’ll think something is changing. Are the weekly coach meetings still rolling?

Same fire,keeps getting doused, and there is always that one guy.

He lacks perspective here, seems to me. He is a lot of show and flash which, what does he think team President does? I think he could thrive if he set his sights on something on the other side of the glass like commentating in or hosting a parallel telecast like the Mannings. Something fun.

Flip it. HE is gonna do what he pleases, and we haven’t ‘got’ that yet. Good times.

So, those are the ‘before’ pics. They are no good without the ‘after’. They just may well prove you don’t do that. Or, maybe they are 20 ft throws, or just throwaways even. Now, Cam, or a couple of these other guys, are not 'must have proper form' to get velocity, they just flick the wrist.

Sorry that previous post I made should have included this, I was replying to it.

People went over the heads and behind the backs of other people, if you believe the reports. I do. Smoke, fire, etc. You are correct in positing that I have no direct knowledge of any of it. IMO that is immaterial to what should be done about it if you are the one in charge. I mean, whoever is in charge is going to have the facts and if the facts lined up with the reports..... Firing them all is on the table. Clean every room in the house. Baby and bathwater, all of it.

Maybe there are no “Tepper” guys, fair enough. Humor me. Make sure of it by getting rid of any “me” type of self preservationists. Yeah, 1st one to go. Too bad. Each of those people's is a talented coach, but you can’t have that tattletale culture.
