Benching Sam is about all they can do to change things up.  But it will not change the fate of this season. Blood will need to be sacrificed at the end of the season. 

So Rhule gambled on Darnold. For Rhule to save his own job he probably has to bench Darnold, let the other guys suck, blame it on and fire Brady, and gamble on Darnold again next year. They gave up too much to cut Sam and no one would trade for that guaranteed money either when you can get a Trubisky/Winston/etc for under $5 million on a prove it deal.

Amazing how folks are coming out and defending Brady and Fitterer. 

I guess there were people working to defend the command crew of the Titanic after the fact, too. The boat still sank, the tragedy still happened.

It's a Confederacy of Dunces up there. 

Even a casual fan could see that the QB position was not addressed properly this offseason and the fans are livid. No wonder the stadium is going to be full of opposing team's fans or just empty.

The entire organization signed off on having Sam Darnold as the one and only starting option this season. That was mind-numbingly stupid. I've said all along that trading for him was not a bad idea as long as you signed a veteran QB behind him (Colt McCoy pr Andy Dalton type QB), or drafted a rookie.

They needed to throw talent at the QB position and see what stuck. They did not do that and that was a huge failure on their part. It should cost some people their jobs.

The offense is damn near unwatchable. If it was a rookie QB that I believed would be better it would be much more tolerable, but that’s not the case. If only we kept our picks and drafted Fields we could use round 1 and 2 on OL next year with a young promising rookie. The worst part is many people on here saw this coming…

Fitterer basically made one bad call (Darnold) and everyone knew it was a low risk, high reward proposition. Thinking he can’t evaluate bc of that deal is foolish. 
 

The Gilmore trade could turn out to be a coup. The jury is still out on Henderson. He’s a second year player who’s playing behind a heck of a lot of talent in the secondary. If you think you’re getting more than that out of a 3rd round pick then you’re dreaming. 

Not drafting a QB, not drafting a tackle until round 3, trading a 3rd for a corner that can’t even crack the 53, trading perryman, signing oft injured players to decent contracts

From what time hear there is a ton of tension constantly in the building. Everyone, and I mean everyone employed is feeling it.

 

Tepper ain't happy. Pissed in fact. Something could happen this week.

move the team!? new owner!? i think starting over as an expansion team would net better results than the past five years.

      The Ringer NFC Offseason podcast

      By frankw · Posted

      The division is most certainly wide open. The Bucs are a problem but Baker Mayfield is and will remain his own worst enemy it's a matter of when not if he has a bad game or even a stretch of bad games. As far as the Panthers they have done an admirable job of trying to address needs as best they can without pulling a Scott Fitterer and getting desperate which has only made us worse off in the past. On the Bryce subject all anyone can really say at this point is we just have to wait and see. This is the year and despite what the Panthers may say publicly doubling down and going all in on WR is as good as any sign anyone should need that they expect Bryce Young to have a very productive and convincing season. The pieces are in place. They aren't perfect but nothing ever will be. Regardless there's honestly no excuse for this staff and this team not to be able to compete in this iteration of the NFC South. Also just want to say this because I can say the hyper defensive posts already being made in here and it's probably going to be a season with highs and lows again but hopefully more highs for sure. But just because there is dialogue about a position group or a player that challenges your preconceived notions or makes you uncomfortable does not make it "hate" or "anti" this player or that player. For some people who talk a lot about nuance you would think this wouldn't need to be stated but that's where we're at.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      If I was a coach I would preach "Don't let the refs decide the game" because as soon as you let the NFL the chance to help their bottom dollar whether it be teams that make most money or gambling then they will screw the team that doesn't fit their bottom line......is it rigged? No but do they try and make certain narratives happen abso-freakin-lutley. As I stated in a previous thread NFL players are the ones that SHOULD have all guaranteed contracts but the boot lickers on this forum disagree and argue for the billionaires in this world who own these teams, sheep

      I wont go quite so far as to say games are rigged.  You wouldnt have to work hard to convince me there was the occasional thumb on the scale but outright rigged? nah.   but collusion on the rest of the "business" of football, sure.  No one really believes that the only time the 32 owners act as one is during the negotiations of the CBA do they?
