Not buying the "good to great" characterization, but it's a plan

Yards per play is the Stat you wanna lead in I would guess. That way how bad your offense sucks won't skew it as much.

Points per drive would be better (18th)

Red zone TD scoring percentage allowed would also give a good idea of how the defense performs where it matters the most. (3rd worst)

3rd down % allowed is also a solid indicator of defensive efficiency. (9th best)

TO% forced is another good one(5th worst)

All things considered we were an OK defense last season. Not good, not bad, but average it seems. Better than 2021, but not as good as many believe we were.

I’m not buying what Tepper and Rhule selling.  They have burned this fan base too many times.  I say prove me wrong.

Exactly. How fans can come into this year optimistic with a worse team on paper albeit better coaching, is beyond me.

HCs generally put together most their a staff to win. In fact I don’t think I know a successful team otherwise. Rhule couldn’t handle that.

So they just threw a bunch of coaches who weren’t really doing anything else at this level…and all of a sudden this team is looking good?

TB, Sam, now Baker…see the pattern? The asinine decisions continue.

Guess I just don’t get it. I see this season as a damn band aid that needs to be ripped off and healing to begin.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
