wrong.

I've said every since we signed Matt Kalil that signing players to become something they haven't shown to be in recent years is a proposition that usually doesn't work out.

Said the same with Teddy, Said the same with Sam.

None of this is surprising, nor not supported by history.

 

 

 

that wasn't directed at you as much as it was the board.

that said i don't entirely agree with that take, i do think there's some players you can expect to work out. And I can absolutely understand kicking the tires on Sam. He's 24 and we wanted to try something.

I don't think these results entirely were expected, this is the most cynical posters wet dream.

Why would we draft a qb when our o-line would get him “Carred”? The f’ing focus in this off-season has to be fixing our atrocious o-line and finding a real OC after Brady bolts for LSU.

And y’all can forget about Rhule being fired or leaving for a college gig, it ain’t happening.

The fix was keep Teddy and draft Fields. Now that this did not happen the new fix is tank for a real QB. Unfortunately this draft really looks like it only has one or two that would be ready anytime soon. 

Yep....Hindsight 20/20 we should of just kept Teddy. Everyone knew he was a stop gap, but we worsened a problem by trading assets for Darnold and picking up his option thinking he was the answer.

 

Should of treated Teddy like the stop gap he was and drafted/developed a young guy.

This narrative that Teddy was a stop gap was wrong from he start.  Somebody in the organization thought they could win with him, same with Sam

Simply put, somebody thought they could win sooner than later by "fixing" two established vets.

I don’t think we want the current regime to pick the next QB. They choose TB and Sam to be the starters with no competition, and PJ to be the backup. At the very least, they should have kept TB and had Sam compete for the starting position this year. I don’t think this is hindsight…/I think most most questioned these moves prior to the season

Because they will need something to sell to the fans to get them to come to games for one. Two, the there will be pressure to get it right this time.

I agree that Rhule won't get fired. Brady will probably be sacrificed, if he doesn't leave on his own to buy Rhule more time. Rhule can also point to injuries to his key free agent linemen he signed as a reason the offense sucked and Darnold as well.

The off-season veteran QB we were all hoping we’d get isn’t coming. Not with this staff. Tepper has a mess on his hands. He is either going to have to continue to wait it out and hope his instinct with Rhule and Fitterer is correct.
 

Or he’s going to have to fire Rhule and get Fitterer to bring in a vet coach that a vet QB will want to play for (aka Arians and Tampa). There isn’t an in between imo. I don’t see a vet QB signing with or OKing a trade to this squad right now. 
 

Im actually at the point where I think bringing Cam in is the right move to try and salvage Rhule’s credibility and trend the trajectory back upward. Can’t believe I am saying that. The other option could be Rivers but Idt he’d want to come back to play for CAR. A call needs to be made tho or the season is over.

He is one of the two I was referring to as somebody I would be cool with drafting. 

I'm warming up to Pickett. But as a whole meh class. Idk if either are as good a prospect as fields, and I'm not sold on fields. Pickett might be a solid game manager or a slinger idk yet.

Thoughts on Pickett?

      I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.

      I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years.

      He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
