Tepper

 

Because he held onto Hurney after firing Rivera instead of starting clean

Went with Hurney to hire Rhule

 he is the one that hired Fitterer 

 

he’s the one that hired Reich (remember the reports going back to late last fall that Tepper liked experienced HC and why Dan Quinn’s name came up)

he’s the one that was so QB horny that was chasing Watson relentlessly even to the point where he didn’t want to spend the money for guys like Reddick because we needed that money for Watson.   Only to ultimately balk because the price tag on what Watson wanted money wise was too much.

Obviously, I think not having David Tepper as the owner of the franchise would have avoided the most short-term pain. However, as I have said before- I think he is the right guy for the long term once he has the right people around him.

The right decision was to keep Wilks and build off of the success he managed to whittle out of clay and wheat. A full off-season with him would have given this team some success. It has been at least 8 years since I saw a team support their coach as he was by the end of the regular season last year. Now, the emotion is bland and empty again. 

Sure, there were questions about Holcombe leading the defense and everyone on key about having an "offensive minded coach", but you don't fix what isn't broken. I have watched the air leave the team in the past 10 months.

I voted 'other'.

Initially I was ok with not trading Burns after trading CMC but hindsight has me rethinking that.

We should have fully committed to the rebuild with all the picks from that trade. Im still good with the coaching hires and still good with Young, but had we made the Burns trade we probably would have kept DJ Moore and that might be the difference in our record right now.

I don't think Wilks was the magic fix. I think defensively we are better off with the guy we have at DC over Wilks.

I do think Wilks would have not been at 0-4.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.

      Jones got projected as the next Eli because they share a similar goofball, on the spectrum energy.  That's my theory.

      I didn't think underrated was the wildest statement. The passing and offensive command he showed in week 18 against Atlanta was as good as any QB that has ever played for this franchise.  I mean THAT part is wild.  Which plays into the overrated part.  End of regulation I don't think he even hit 200 yards passing.  I mean he had a very efficient day vs a weak defense.   As good as we have ever seen in Carolina?
