Folks, the race stuff has to stop. Too many threads are getting detailed. Take it to the TB if you want to scream at each other about racism. Unplanned vacations will be taken if this keeps up.

My offseason predictions is coming true.

See how can say that Frank is qualified to be the head coach, without dismissing the fact that if Wilks was a white man he most likely would have gotten the job.

Tepper already proved by his own admission that he hired Rhule because he reminds him of himself. They already showed they weren’t exactly following the diversity training implemented because most of y’all racist as hell and don’t know it. Tepper has certain biases and I’m sure he found Frank more relatable. 
 

It was a good hire, but don’t come at me with Wilks doesn’t have a gripe. He does. And if you don’t think so then I suggest you find a minority to explain it to you. 


I get the emotional attachment to Wilks, but ask yourself honestly. 

If Wilks (9-19 as a HC) went 6-6 as an interim for some other team, would you want him? Especially given some of the boneheaded decisions he made this year.

No, we wouldn’t have even interviewed him.

Frank isn’t going to set the world on fire (I think he’ll be fired after 3 years), but he was the better option considering his experience coaching up rookie QBs.

      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.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
