why was it his job to stop the carousel from spinning?  Irsay wanted Wentz gone and ballard wanted Ryan.  The fug was reich supposed to do?

Yeah… I know it was reported that he lobbied for Wentz but we also don’t know what the alternative would have been. So Reich may have wanted the guy he knew versus an unknown. 

Was it reported somewhere that Ballard wanted Ryan? Because it was beyond obvious Ryan was toast 

At the end of the day this hire makes sense for where this franchise is at. Ideally Reich finds himself a young innovative OC to team up with. Both the Panthers and Reich have been spinning their wheels in mud at the QB position the last several seasons. I truly believe that comes to an end this year and they do whatever they can to go get their guy

wentz didnt do badly in indy

 

Pretty sure Ballard was the gm that went and got ryan.  They thought their roster was in "win now" mode and they could squeeze 2 seasons out of him.

 

All in all this is a great hire to reset us to respectable.

What Reich was able to get out of Wentz was impressive. If you look at the seasons Wentz had the year prior and after 2021… it’s hard to imagine that dude ever throwing for 27 touchdowns with only 7 interceptions in 2021

He just really really poo the bed against the Jags.  And the owner lost his mind over it.  We may have finally gotten lucky and taken advantage of another team doing stupid things.  Feels good once its not us doing the dumb poo

He wasn't good weeks 10-17.  If he were good they'd have kept him.

Taylor is arguably the best RB in the NFL when healthy and I’m not the only one saying that. I left Quentin Nelson off the original list because you clearly don’t know ball, but the colts oline has been pretty publicly praised over Reichs tenure in Indy. 

Household names and solid players are two different things. They lacked talent at key positions. That is all that matters. QB, DEs, LBs. It does matter that Reich was able to win as many games as he did with this knowledge in place. Agree to disagree but I won't stoop to intelligence insults.

Almost anybody being considered would be an upgrade over what we started last season with.

The good news is that the Owner didn't go digging around for another set of inexperienced college-based folks, or give away the keys to the house just because somebody thinks they should have 100% control.

What would you say Tepper learned from his Baylor experiment?

Reich + Wilks would be a great combination if we could do it. It probably won't happen.  With either one at the helm, we at least have a Coach that has proven NFL experience.

    • He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.  
    • This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.
    • I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
