My main takeaway from that is that Josh Klein was right.

Makes up for him being wrong about the new head coach's name starting with 's' 😄

I think others wanted to say it too, but were scared of Rhules wraith.....

Many on here seen it for what it was.....

Anxious to see what it looks like in a true collaboration.

Wondering where those guys are who kept on pushing that idea that Rhule didn't have total control over the roster. 

Come on now. We know ppl don't come to the Internet to escape their echo chamber. 😛

They're likely ingesting vast amounts of copium by pivoting to, "Fitterer knew that he was going to be a yes man. It's still his fault that we traded for Sam Darnold."

Gotta wonder if it is Fitt's "fault" that they got Luvu. It was mentioned during an interview that while watching tape on a Jets player that Luvu was noticed. Can't help but think that the actual scout picked up on him rather than the guy micromanaging the marketing department that changed QBs every season instead of developing one.

I'm still not completely sure that trading for Darnold was as terrible as most think, had we just had a coach that could call a game and develop a QB. There were a couple of games in his first season where Darnold put the team on his back and ran the game -- that Vikings one that he almost made a comeback in really sticks out as an "I'll do it myself, dammit" kind of thing. I'm actually hoping we give Darnold another season here as a bridge QB to see if Reich can get him straightened out while developing someone behind him. And Darnold was, sadly, the best QB we fielded last season.

On the Luvu one, something just tells me that one of our scouts found him and snuck him in under the radar. However it happened, he's been a real find. He fits the mold of a Carolina linebacker.

Relevant note from Albert Breer regarding the coaching search...

After the initial round of interviews, David Tepper asked for everybody to rank their top five candidates.

Everybody except himself. Tepper refrained friend from submitting a list or mentioning his own preferences because he didn't want to influence anyone else's opinion.

That tells me two things.

1) He trusts his top people (in this case Fitterer, Morgan, Suleiman and Kristi Coleman)

2) He's learning

I recall Luvu being scouted by Kuechly at some point.

Thought I recalled that as well, but maybe not.

Also glad to hear that Frank is as advertised...a normal NFL guy, not addicted to his own ego.

I remember hearing that Jets tape was being watched on a potential target and they kept noticing Luvu. That's so sick if it was Luke! 😮

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
