In fairness, the decisions on both sides have been baffling.

Sorry, I have erased Fitterer from my memory.

I think coaches over think things sometimes. In a tight close defensive battle, Saints should have kicked the field.

The question in this is did Reich really want Stroud? If he did, and he had gotten Stroud, then I think he would still be our coach. But all I have seen is supposition and conjecture, but if true and Tepper really did override Reich then all the bad things about Tepper are actually true. I do hope the truth comes out eventually, as it would be interesting. But I suppose it really doesn't matter at this point.

Meh, I understand why you say that, but watching the game today, Carr is still a guy who would need a very good team around him to win. And we would not have had it last year.

Eagles keying on the run game, making Carr beat them. For that matter, the Saints are doing something similar to the Eagles. Stop the run, make the QB beat them.

Took him 8 or so years to find his Mojo. Fwiw, he actually looked decent here in stretches. His problem is that he will have to many games where he just falls apart.

I may go mow some grass before the Panthers game.

Agreed. And honestly, if it was the girlfriend thing and it impacted his play to the extent some are implying, then the NFL is probably not for him. The NFL is a demanding league where you live your life in the limelight, and if a girl impacts your ability to that extent, you should probably go celibate for a while.

The vast majority of top ranked QB's coming out of college are over hyped. I guess over hyping them is how the Mel Kiper's of the world get clicks and get paid. For every Joe Burrow or CJ Stroud, there are 2-3 Trevor Lawrence's (guys that are decent, but not future Hof qb), and several total bust like Bryce Young and Zach Smith.

I saw an article this morning stating that Jacksonville should dump Trevor Lawrence and draft Cam Ward. While Cam is having a solid year, that might be going overboard a bit.

Regarding Caleb, unlike Young, he seems to have the physical tools. No way to know at this point if he will make the adjustment to the NFL or not. His start has been inconsistent at best.

I watched part of the game, must have missed that. Regardless, definitely not his first college int.

That last run by Ward, he looked really slow. Not sure what was going on there.

His first Miami INT, definitely not his first college INT.

Trey Lance missed a lot of games due to injury. So there was more hope that he might eventually become an effective NFL qb. I think there is less hope for Young.

Well, 6th and 7th round picks are usually nothing, so we might get that, along with some of his salary off the books. But I think he will stick around for at least this year.

I have a feeling UNC will be looking for a new football coach soon. Maybe they can lure Matt Rhule from Nebraska.

I haven't seen him in practice, but Plummer looked horrible until the last preseason game.

Most of the people saying this aren't personnel people. They are reporters, fans etc... That being said, I wouldn't be shocked if someone made some sort of offer.

Currently? Jayden Daniels had a very successful debut. I watched him and Cade, and Daniels looked better, albeit in extremely limited time. He has looked better than Howell did, at least thru two games.

Last year was a bad scenario. This year, he actually had a pretty decent set up, probably as good as Stroud had last year. Good Oline play, a decent veteran group of receivers, and a running game that has had some success, albeit in extremely limited play. And before anyone says he got Carred, if he didn't have the mental toughness to work thru the issues last year, the odds of him being a successful NFL qb were slim and none.

I doubt leading us in Sacks is much of a factor. I mean he has one more sack than I do.

My guess is that Canales discussed it with him and Morgan, and maybe some others, but in the end, it was Canales call. But its just a guess. I don't think Tepper is necessarily a bad guy, but I do think he is easily conned (Rhule) and a little impatient. And fwiw, I think the current qb issues started when we released Cam and signed Bridgewater, and the qb probably have cascaded since, but that is probably a discussion for another thread.

Agreed, that is a fairly common thing in all sports. He is still our coach/qb/pitcher/point guard/etc.... And then the next day, he isn't.
