Stop whining and get ready for the long haul

Y'all wanted the team blown up, well it was, and this is what the result is. Stop whining. Our defense is going to be historically bad and our offense can maybe be competent at best.

We're 3-5 years away from being competitive. Buckle in for a long rebuild, like Tepper has been talking about for months now. He wasn't joking.

Anyone expecting us to compete for anything serious this season was expecting too much, evaluate players and enjoy. we are year 1 of a 3 year rebuild as I mentioned after we signed our Free Agents, you could see that all their contracts are targeted to expire within 3 years, that wasnt a mistake.

My only thing to whine about was they cut loose Cam Newton who had only 1 year left on his deal for Teddy Bridgewater and his noodle arm garbage and I wish they’d either kept Cam or gone with a young inept QB with the intention of being terrible to get Lawrence. They did some half assed in between crap

I was hoping for better play calling this game but guess that was asking for too much

You were hoping for better than 30 points today? Was it playcalling at fault for TB overthrowing a simple screen play to CMC by about eight yards? Was it playcalling at fault for Teddy running away from pressure and somehow forgetting it was still on his tail for a fumble? Special teams playcalling did hurt us with the fake punt. I’ll give you that one. The other issues are TB at fault.

Completely agree with you. Everyone just enjoy the positives we see out of the team this year. 

There are none, that's the issue so far. I'm fine with us sucking and losing most our games and getting first overall pick, but at least show something fuging good. Nothing yet

None? Not a single player has been a pleasant surprise or a positive on the entire roster? Every loss is a step closer to getting a real QB in this draft. Brady has called a fine two weeks so far. Teddy shot us in the foot today twice in big ways but the playcalling itself had been fine.

I think Brady is still finding the strengths of his players, and what plays work and which ones don't.

I can see that just wanted to see him open up the playbook a little, but its understandable to try and feel things out a bit. Really want Daley to heal up and get out there to get some reps and experience, need some competent Oline badly.

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
