The meeting that needs to happen behind closed doors. (maybe already did)

At this point of the season. Tepper, Rivera, Hurney, all the staff. A meeting has to be made. Tepper needs to let Rivera know if he's out or not. So things can progress accordingly. 

 

Cam is hurt, he needs to be rested the remainder of the season. They need to take a look at everyone in the roster, Heinecke for example. Once Rivera knows his fate I think things will transition much smoother. Whether he's gone or if he's got until his contract. 

 

One thing I would like to see is a New GM take over. Evaluate everything and everyone. Then move accordingly. 

 

But for gods sake, just don't let cam further damage himself.

What about Reggie McKenzie or Trent Kirchner?

I'm kind of on the fence about Josh McDaniels. 

Not saying that's who I want, but kinda how I see it playing out.

Tepper came from the Steelers.  That's a "no-nonsense" NFL football team if there is one....and I would assume that's the type ORG he want's to build here.  Not only from his Steelers background, but his professional background as well.  Cut throat, results orientated, etc....

The Steelers and the Pats are two of the most cutthroat in the business, while also being two of the most successful, long term in the history of the NFL.

Marty and Ron are player first leaders.  That's what JR liked, but when it goes bad...it goes real bad.  We saw it at the end of the Fox/Hurney era, and I think that we are seeing it again.

The more this drags out, the more I see Josh McDaniels on our sideline next season, and Omar Khan in the FO next season.

Lordy, I hope one of those is not our destiny.  I can handle Omar Khan, and I understand the connection to Tepper so that may be very likely.  But McDaniels destroyed Denver and then did a disappearing act with Indy, so I'd strongly want us to take a pass.  I think he is biding his time for Mumbles to decide he's had enough of wearing hoodies on the Patriots sidelines and pass the reins to him.

Not sure how that describes McDaniels.  Cut throat, perhaps.  Results oriented....well, it seemed like the only results he has been concerned about is proving he is in charge. 

The way things went down in Denver looks a lot like a guy who quickly lost his team and the support of his organization.  He really has not proven anything in the way of being results oriented on his own, which begs the question whether his success in NE has been him, Hoodie, or Brady.

Not disagreeing with you, just stating how I think it may very well play out.  Owners and GM's continue to be enamored by the guys standing beside BB.  I'm hoping that Tep doesn't, but I can see him trying to swing as far away from the Ron's of the world as possible on the next one.

My take is Tepper coming from the Hedge Fund world knows there is absolute no such thing as a sure thing. I’m going to guess Tepper is waiting until we are 100% eliminated from the playoffs so he doesn’t fire him now and look stupid Incase a miracle happens and we somehow sneak in.

Mu guess is after the Falcons game if either A. we lose or B. We win but Skins or Vikes also win, eliminating us all together. THATS when we will hear something. Tepper wants to be 100% sure we are eliminated first

I think there's a good chance that McDaniels already has a head coach in waiting deal in place with the Patriots. I can't think of any other logical reasons why he did the Colts that way.

IMO, and unfortunately as it may end up being for us, I doubt the trusted Luck's shoulder.  The docs in Miami didn't trust Drew's shoulder either.

I would assume that if he thought it was 100%, like it's looking right now, he would have gone.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By TD alt · Posted

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
