Money talks.

There's probably a lot of truth to that 😕

But I'd likely still have to give the major portion of the credit to Reich for this build.

Money may talk, but it doesn't necessarily make smart choices. That takes a guy who knows what he's doing.

I thought nobody wanted to come here because Tepper is a big fat racist and Frank Reich sucks. At least thats what the huddle told me.

Yeah that aged well. As many of us know, you just have to give it time for things to come together.

I'll give him some credit, but he's really not the only smart football guy in the room. 

As for his hire, he'll earn my loyalty when we start winning. 

It's early, and a lot has yet to pass, but today I'd say that Reich needs to win at least eight games before I'll be satisfied. And I'd consider that a somewhat low bar.

I was Team Steichen but have to admit, I don't see any of the HCs this cycle doing what we have done. Even the great and illustrious douche that is Sean Payton....I don't see his staff being one that I would be this excited about. 

 

I almost hoped Payton would go to Indy. I guess Irsay and Payton didn't sniff each other out.

I NEVER bought into the race angle. And I’m African-American. One only has to look at the diversity within the Panthers’ organization to see that was pure BS. It was known before the search got underway that Tepper was looking for an offensive minded HC. Out of respect for Wilks, he was given a shot but he didn’t do enough and frankly, hiring him would’ve meant settling for the status quo. Had nothing to do with race, although I understand the optics. It was time for a change. And Tepper could see the League is trending toward more dynamic offense. 7 of the 8 teams that made the playoffs (including the two that represented in the SB) we’re headed by coaches with strong offensive backgrounds. I’m excited to see the team live supported since it’s inception finally getting on board.

I question why it was a vote with inexperienced people, most of whose (3/5) are not even football people. That’s strange. Think it’s a bad sign Tep is still taking a very hands on approach. I also am skeptical that out of all the blunders that came with Rhule, Fit just went under the radar and somehow Rhule’s backwards GM hire is he’s totally qualified and everyone thinks he’s great/qualified. Also very strange. I also don’t like Reich’s stint with the Colts at all, but plenty of examples of coaches learning.

And Reich IS an actual football person. He does know what he was doing so I never doubted his ability to fill out a nice staff.

The question remains most important QB, and is Fit competent in filling out a real roster. I have these doubts and these will make or break Reich.

I will feel much more on board if they somehow finagle moving up and getting an elite talent. Reichs’ offense will look like trash with retreads and game managers.

Those are fair concerns.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
