Frank throws Tepper under the bus

Every one of Frank Reich’s gambits has failed in 2023. Bryce Young’s progression has halted without any weapons or new thinking.

To cap this off you’ve got an owner in David Tepper with the attention span of a chipmunk when it comes to failure.

Reich isn't a young hc. He knows at this point he's is a dead man walking. He's getting a nice retirement package and this nightmare will be over soon. I'm sure all league personnel will be calling him about his experience and I'm sure he'll be telling them. I know he hasn't done the job we want but I honestly feel this staff got sabotaged with a qb they didn't want. He wanted a big arm qb that could make all the throws. He got an S2 savant instead whose test taking ability didn't translate remotely to the field.  NFL is a qb league. The Panthers are still without one and without draft capital because an owner who knows nothing about fb calls all the shots.

During his entire head coaching career, Frank Reich's  two teams combined for a record of 42-48-1 across six seasons including going 1-2-0 in the playoffs.

Knowing Reich's' past six year record, how in the world did Tepper think he would instantly go from being a career loser to a sudden winner?

This is obviously a train wreck but people that are clamoring for a smash mouth run game are hypocrites. This site was just as bad when our team was 4-12 while running downhill power football. Everyone begged for a spread offense. Just because it isn’t working doesn’t mean you didn’t want this.

Ridiculous is par around BOA. 

I have never seen anything that looks worse (or even as bad as) than whatever this mess they are running is. 

Tepper wants a college offense. That is the intel and it totally lines up IMO. We definitely have a college QB, may as hell have a college offense.

There is a ton of hypocrisy here post facts being revealed, a large number always wants to be on the correct side. 

But some people have their own philosophy regardless of what is popular and those people are not hypocrites. Myself, on this subject at least, I am way in the clear and a lot of others are as well.  I know what I said pre and post, hasn’t changed. Well, Reich is a black hole I didn’t see coming but I am not sitting here trying to say I did. Though I wanted Wilks over him.

Reich was a convenient yes man and a way of quelling the firing of Wilks. He had to hire a Carolina guy of some capacity, to look like less of the scumbag he is in the locker room. He had to then crank the hype machine to validate the hire, taking those guys for fools…. Like they don’t have former player friends on the Colts to get the low down on Reich and realize the hype doesn’t sync up with the narrative. They’re probably double insulted now. 
 

I wanted Wilks, fresh offensive and defensive minds with his capacity as the CEO and not dictating play calling. After the finish last season, we would actually draw top coordinator talent because they would want to be a part of what we’re building. 
 

keep Sam, keep DJ, draft a stud TE, line stays intact, get some depth. Focus draft of d line and secondary. 
 

We draft qb this season, trading up if needed. Gently morph the offense as needed with the strengths of what we have. 
 

the league is ALWAYS and will always change.  By the time Tepper’s vision comes together, it will be passé and there will be a new hot scheme as even more rule changes occur. 
 

His ego, ignorance, insecurity, impatience, and inability to see that HE is the problem is the biggest problem going.

I'm not saying Tepper has been a good owner, but to think he is dictating the style of offense Reich runs seems ridiculous.  

    

 

He told Rivera to go from 4-3 to 3-4 and asked for them to run certain offensive plays… I wouldn’t take it out of the realm of possibility. He might not be dictating verbatim but he’s definitely influencing.

Not really sure that's what he's doing. It's more an admission that they all completely misjudged the ability of the guys up front to pass protect. Reich came in and implemented his usual offense and the personnel hasn't fit.

Do we really think Reich wanted to come here and be a run heavy team?

A lot of truth here in my opinion.

He threw 60 passes

30 passes for 150 yards = trash
but 60 passes for 300 yards = 😍

Still the most amount of points on the season whether we like it or not. That's pathetic any way you slice it.

      Tank vs Mingo

      If you look at those 5, they all can get separation without it having to be created by play design or a missed assignment. For whatever reason, going back to Benjamin, we seem to love big receivers who can make the contested catch (theoretically), but they can't seem to get open to have a QB look their way. Look at AT. He's not the fastest guy, or the biggest, but his routes are as clean and sharp as any of the top receivers and he can work himself open. We need guys who can get open enough to make a catch, not just ones that can make a contested one.

      The only reason I bring up Lawrence is because its a lot similar of a comparison than Joe Burrow (curious why he chose to use Burrow as his example as well). Lawrence had Chark and Shenault as WRs that year (chark only played 4 games, laviska all 16) Lawrence threw 12 TDs to 17 INTs has a YPA of 6.0 and a QBR of 71.9. Young has a 5.4 YPA and a 74.9 QBR. Both had dysfunctional coaches for very different reasons but both were fired during the season. Reich after 11 games, Meyer after 13. With a new outlook and solid HC hire in Doug Pederson Lawrence was able to have a very good year 2 under Pederson and Co. Why is it such an asinine thought on this board that our rookie QB could be better with a better staff that actually knows what the fug is going on and isn't living on a name that they made for themselves 5-10+ years ago? The Jags retooled their offense and brought in legit talent surrounding their young QB with young playmakers and he improved. However, I'm sure the coaching changes and personnel had very very little to do with Trevor Lawrence's big turn around in year 2 and the only reason he improved was because he's 6'6 220 pounds with a laser rocket arm. /sarcasm /huddlelogic2023

      I'm not too impressed with the drafting of the Arizona Cardinals over the past three to four years.... Just saying
