I wish I could believe this 

I think you can.

Gotta remember agents are one of the common sources for insider stories. So for example, Matt Rhule's agent could be the guy telling someone like Rapoport that Tepper is going to be patient with him.

Funny thing is though that the details of Wilson's story aren't really any different from Rapoport's . There's just a different sort of spin to it.

The Saints wouldn't trade Sean Payton in division and he wouldn't want to come here considering we have no QB. However if Tepper somehow managed to get him I would be extremely happy. You can think what you want about him but he's a HOF coach.

And one who was suspended a year for bountygate. Memories of bounty on Cam Newton still linger with some of us.

Unfortunately, I share your fear of Tepper bouncing to the opposite extreme of Rhule. 

Of course, one could say that the opposite extreme of Rhule is coaching competency and wins, but I fear we could pull a Jerry Jones and just bounce from one extreme to another for a while.  In Dallas' case, the extremes are strong, successful NFL coaches like Johnson and Parcells to yes men. 

Just do the opposite as hard as you can is a sure sign the decision maker doesn't know what the hell happened and is taking the one path they can see.

If no one steps up and can pitch a better path it was alway the logical guess at what Tepper would do after giving a ginormous contract to a guy who has done so little other then sell himself.

I am not on the Sean Payton hype train. Outside of the 1 super bowl season I watched his teams shi+ the bed YOY with one of the best QB's to ever play the game. We need to look at the current situation for what it is - our QB is not performing. If Baker turns it on then this team could win a bunch of games. If no changes are made to set the team up for success then, yes, Rhule needs to be relieved of his duties.

Tepper showed too many of his cards the first time around.  In his defense, he probably could not envision he would be interviewing a snake oil salesman as a candidate for an NFL HC job.  But, he broadcast he was looking for 1) someone well-versed in analytics, and 2) someone who can build a long-term successful program, slowly if necessary.  So Rhule shows up, armed with that information, useless numbers, and preaching "the Process." 

It didn't help that the GM involved in this process was a snake oil salesman looking to lick his new boss's boots.

Let's hope Tepper has learned from this, or hands over the next search and hiring process to someone whose BS meter is a little more sensitive.

Should be easy to tell. Let's look at the effort this Sunday. Should tell us a lot about how true this is.

It should.  He lost me last year, but I am skeptical about his having lost the locker room, unless the comments the paparazzi where trying to incite DJ on have more legs than I am giving them credit for.

I don't even want to speculate about that at this point.

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
