He be a huge upgrade sadly enough. At least we’d have the interim coach figured out after Tepper fires Rhule mid-season. 

Jason Garrett is horrendous.  He is definitely not an upgrade over Joe Brady.

Joe Brady is gone dude. He got fired a few weeks ago. I was talking about Jason Garrett being better than Jeff Nixon. He’s our current OC.

I wouldn't consider hiring a new OC that was worse than the one we had an upgrade though.  Doesn't really matter if and when he was fired.  We had him.  And we would have ultimately let him go just to bring in Jason Garrett the next year.  That is not an upgrade.

We just fired Brady and replaced him with Jeff Nixon. I wasn’t advocating that we hire Jason Garrett. I simply pointed out he’s an upgrade over Nixon.

This is true, but it feels like the sort of thing Tepper would do. At least to me, it does.

That's why I said it's a lesson to learn. I just don't think he understands any of that stuff so he has to experience it.

After Collins JR changed the way he did QBs. After Carruth he looked at character. Hopefully Tepper GAF.

Still dont think we're set outside.  Brady is a nice little player, but hes not a franchise LT.  I think Rhule is actually correct here, and hes better suited for LG, with a mauler beside him like Neal or the guy from Georgia. 

I think you "might be correct in your assessment of BC", but we still don't know for sure.

He's only started 2 games at his natural position, and each game was against teams with strong pass rushes. Tampa won the SB last year, and the Saints shut them out 9-0 two weeks ago on a nationally televised game. The Saints have beat Brady and company 4 out of the last 5 times they've played...and would have beat them in the playoffs last season if Brees had been healthy. Considering who he played against, and the lack of starts at LT, I think Brady did "ok", not great, but "ok". 

If Rhule had allowed him to play most of the season at LT, we'd have a really good feel for what to do going forward. All that said, if we could get a top notch LT in the first round and put BC at LG, we could be set on our left side for the next several years. But, if we rolled with Brady next year and took the best interior lineman in the top 10, that would still be a major upgrade over this season's terrible O-line play.

This also very well could be true, and I can see the argument being made for rolling with Brady at LT, possibly trading down some, and taking the top interior o linemen available in the middle of the first.  Perhaps the C from Iowa.  I am not up to speed much on the top college G prospects.

Everyone was all ready to throw Joe Brady in front of a speeding bus but if you were paying attention you should have already known how this would play out. This putrid offense has been running exactly the way Rhule has wanted it to.

I do agree with you for once.  Regardless of who the OC or QB is over the past 2 years, we have ran the exact same dink and dunk unbalanced offense.  Regardless if its run or pass the lbs and dbs know to play around the LoS.  There's no keeping the defense honest at all, they are fully allowed to sell out for the short stuff.

      Mike Tomlin stepping down as HC of the Steelers

      We've never seen them outside of the structure of two very well ran organizations I'll give you that. And yes they are long in the tooth. I do think they are more than capable of getting a franchise turned around in short term capacity though. They are by no means a long term solution.

      Your Feelings on Bryce Through 3 Seasons? (POLL)

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      You're not making a good-faith argument by blaming literally everything on the quarterback when the defense gave him a fat 38 seconds to overcome its ineptitude, but it seems you're dead-set on blaming him for any problem the team encounters. In this case, it's not warranted. Sometimes it is. But he had no time to throw (pressured on 46% of all dropbacks, an insane amount) and that's simply not all his fault -- particularly when they rush 4 or less and are in the backfield in 1.5s or less. Should we have gotten more than 0 yards? Sure! But he hit a WR in the hands on fourth down and it was dropped. Not his fault. He missed one throw on second down but I attribute first down to a bad play call and third down to poor pass protection. I would've called some quick slants, personally, but it really seems you're saying: - playcalling: Bryce's fault - poor pass protection: Bryce's fault - defensive choking away a lead: Bryce's fault, not the defense - Horn dropping a pass: Bryce's fault It's a great way to garner support on here, because when it comes to Bryce, logic takes such a backseat to context that it's not even in the same vehicle. Plenty of games can be attributed to him. Can't take anyone seriously who solely blames him for that one.

      I don't see how you can logically make that argument when the team beat two of the top teams in the entire league during the regular season.  Now imagine the additional games we would have won against absolute tip top competitors like SF and SEA had we had a professional QB.  You can throw any random stat at the problem you want, but the proof is in the pudding.  We all watched it live.  This roster would have produced 13 wins (wins against SF and SEA, two wins against NO, and would have swept the Bucs) and (almost certainly) a #1 seed with a remotely competent QB.  Those were not games where we needed an all star performance to win.  Those were games where a very, very modest stat line would have netted us an easy win. Nearly every measurable aspect of the team would have been significantly improved with a competent QB.
