Quick moves to at least put us on the right track

This year is lost and there is no fixing it short term. 

Fire Fitterer. Have any of his moves panned out? Have his evaluations of talent panned out? He should be gone today.

Fire the scouting department. Our talent evaluation is the worst in the league and so is the product on the field.

Fire Reich. There was no reason he should have ever been hire to start with. 

Elevate Evero to HC. He is going to be a HC next year anyway so see if he is a good fit.

Consider starting Andy Dalton. Our OL is putrid, our skill positions are the worst in the NFL and watching Young struggle the way he is may help him in the long run if he can catch a breather. Its too early to call Young a bust, but there is no doubt after watching Stroud, all the mental and recognition testing is BS. You play on the field and he look great.

It's not a solution, but it's a start.

Just now, Sean Payton's Vicodin said:

I could see the Giants or Patriots doing it. If this were his second year then yeah.

Patriots are 1-4, I'd trade Bryce for their 1st in a frigging heartbeat but no chance they would. If they had a good record and jones was the only one really struggling then yeah maybe but not when they're on track for a top 3-5 pick and the rest of the team sucks anyways. Giants are committed to D Jones for some reason

I would take Daniel Jones crazy ass contract for their first and ship off Bryce, honestly. Giants are in a "win now" situation.

I still think they will more likely double down vs doing anything rational like firing Fritterer. If Bryce really is Tepper's guy then expect a big dumb trade or something next. I just can't expect any kind of decent direction when there hasn't been any for way too long and I just don't believe that Tepper isn't a huge part of the problem. I just can't expect him to start acting like a reasonable owner when I think he is in on the big stink.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
