Does anyone believe we are tanking purposely?

It’s been 2 games and it’s painfully clear Cam is better than Teddy. I don’t care if Cam throws 2 picks tonight, Teddy has the best RB in the game and 2 legit WRs. Cam is better. Could it be possible this was the plan from the start between Hurney, Tepper, and Rhule? I mean drafting all defense is (I believe) a great move for the future but clearly not a win now mentality. If we wanted to be competitive this year we take 2 OL after D. Brown. It just seems logical the plan this entire year was get young on D, get Trevor, then go hard OL after that.

I mean it’s a message board. Wanted to get others opinion on it, so made a post. 

It's just an insult to the team to suggest we're purposely tanking when it's obvious the guys are trying as hard as they can to win games.  We have so many new faces and not a lot of practice.  If anything, I'd say the team is performing above expectations thus far.

I think tank is the wrong word but I do think they are taking things very slowly and are having patience to gradually build the team up like Rhule did at both colleges he coached. Tepper has pretty much alluded to that too when he keeps talking about how it could be a 3-5 year process. Despite what the team says I don’t think they truly believe deep down that we ever had a chance to compete this year.

No. We just suck. Other NFL teams are paid to try and win too. We’re just the worst at it. 

But in all seriousness. We’re not purposefully tanking, but we’re also not making roster moves that we potentially could make if we were a team on the verge of a playoff push. Instead we’re content with who we have, even though we all know it will not be good enough for anything above 3-4 wins tops.

2 legit wrs? What about oline? What about defense? You know all those things cam fanboys said hindered cam. TB doesn’t have those and I wouldn’t call our wrs legit. Great offenses always have a great oline. Always.  
 

You don’t just draft olineman and your problems are solved, I don’t think you understand the concept of team building.
 

TB isn’t the future but it’s not surprising all these issues suddenly disappeared for the next QB after cam lol

Dude, we have the most dead money in the NFL and the least talent on defense in the NFL. What do you expect.

    • I interpreted your original reply as the team could have success if the new players and coaches were really good, AND they created an offense that didn't count on the QB being a primary contributor. Because you think Bryce won't be able to hold up his end. I think you confirm that above. My only point is that I don't see how anyone can say definitively what Bryce Young will be in the league yet, based on his supporting cast from last season. And it seems those that have already decided that Bryce Young is a bust, likely just didn't like him as the pick in the first place. A little context for me... lots of folk here didn't like Cam while he was a Panther either. It had very little to do with him as a talent. And just for the record, I really am not invested in Bryce Young. I didn't want the team to move up for a QB at all in 2023. I thought 2024 would be the year to go for a QB. But when they did, I ordered the QBs as Anthony Richardson, then CJ, then Bryce. The disfunction from the front office, to the playcalling, to the scheme, to the oline and the receivers was just not a good situation. Horrible actually. Asking a rookie to perform with all that adversity is just not realistic to me, at any position let alone QB. So to me, the verdict is still out. I don't know if he can be the guy because the situation he was in last year was set up to fail from the start. In preseason, as soon as I saw the oline couldn't figure out how to even slow down the Jets' pass rush (particularly stunts) and the receivers were locked up like Fort Knox, I knew we were in for a long season. 
    • I bet one would. But I hear you and hope he can control himself.
    • It's a different vibe for sure. He sounds like he knows what he's talking about and his general plan---that which he tells the world---sounds like a working plan. Reich didn't seem to have a plan, and Rhule's plan was ill-suited for grown men. Reich coached like a zombie---just dead and uninspiring. Rhule thought that he could take his college guys and dominate in the pros, smiled in guys faces and threw them under the bus. His brand of motivation has plays running to a DBO sign. Canales seems to be schooled in motivation, but also believes the stuff he is selling down to his core. We'll see if it holds up.
