Holy hell, he should just keep his mouth shut at this point. HE is responsible for the design of this O and constantly calling plays that players are not capable of running is telling. 

What an all-star coaching staff, the players literally cannot perform what is being expected of them. 

I actually think most of the position coaches are doing their job.

It's the stuff going on above their level that's bad.

I think Evero has done an admirable job with the defense with basically the entire secondary and a lot of our defense hurt at one point or another.

Deuce is a good RB coach, I think he's helped Hubbard have a little more attitude when he runs.  I am not sure about Sanders, although I think he's playing hurt and for that I give him some credit.....CMC didn't play when "hurt."

I believe Mingo is making some progress as WR and Thielen has played well, I don't think Chark is in the right system to help us and TMJ is a child so not sure about the WR coach.

We'd probably be winning this division if we just kept Baker, CMC, DJ, and simply got a new head coach.

At least Baker/Darnold/Corral could threaten a secondary with a deep ball. I swear Bryce throws at like 40mph, CJ and AR were throwing 60mph at the combine which Bryce opted out of

You are baffling me today Mr. Scott. Frank might as well tell the entire coaching staff to have a good Christmas because they are all likely getting fired as there's no interest in winning--unless Bryce is the QB.

I has been that since day 1.

Bryce or bust.

Agree or disagree makes no difference it is all about junior.

That is their plan or was their plan, they don't have another one. 

They need another plan.

As dumb of moves as Rhule made, he knew that drafting a rookie QB would lead to his dismissal.  That said, he sucked at evaluating FA QBs too.  If you look at HCs who have been tethered to a rookie QB, it's often a short stint, VERY short.  The rookie QB always gets the benefit of a doubt despite how bad they look.  Josh Rosen is the only one I can think of that got the swift axe. Otherwise, signing up to take over a team knowing you are drafting a rookie QB is like playing Russian roulette with your career.

This story is still out there...

 

It "Seems", lol

Don't get me wrong, there is a chance that Frank wanted Stroud, I'm not saying he didn't, but a lot of the articles are inferring things. 

The only articles from reputable, connected reporters (the guys you tend to take as gospel), where they actually put a name to a QB, tend to say both Fitt and Frank liked Bryce from the start. That was said around draft time and even recently.  

You were quick to post the article where they had the magical moment when they both revealed their choice to each other.

My point exactly, these reports don't tell me anything definitive.  Holders piece says the owner engages, ok, so waht, that doesn't say that Reich wanted Stroud.  Also in Stephan's tweet he says HE told Reich who he thought Frank wanted on his past comments.  Here again, he isn't reporting that Frank said he wanted him. 

Also the fact that someone reports that the owner heavily "influenced" the choice for Young doesn't mean that only Tepper wanted Young and nobody else did.

That is the problem with this entire narrative, just because Tepper liked Young the most that doesn't mean nobody else did.  Those things aren't mutually exclusive.

I do think there is a chance Frank might have preferred a different QB, totally possible but the fact is the only articles from connected sources that have specifically said who Frank liked stated he like Young, as did Fitt.

    • Frank Reich, Ryan Poles get honest about challenges of developing No. 1 pick QB.  *Reich: My handling of offensive system "probably made it more difficult for Bryce (Young)" *Poles: From 24-25. tone changed from bridging Caleb Williams to 'tough love'   https://x.com/jfowlerespn/status/1957857880276705508?s=46
    • As bad as AR has been, the Panthers would’ve been better off right now, if they had stayed at #9 in 2023 and picked him instead of doing what they did.  At least this way, they would’ve only wasted one draft pick vs what they gave up to pick BY. And they would have kept the #1 pick in the 2024 draft. 
    • I felt pretty good about us making progress this season, surprising some people, and getting some more wins than last season going into it.  Now, after preseason, my expectations are much, much lower. I was talking with my friend who is a Bears fan, and we were discussing their drubbing of the Bills and how people try to dismiss it as “preseason, so it doesn’t count.”  It absolutely counts.  Not the wins or losses.  No one really cares about that.  But what the Bears are doing shows that even in a vanilla, non-specific scheme, they are executing at an elite level and they are disciplined.  It shows they are well coached.  They see growth in their players.  Versus us - hard to tell what we’re looking at because everything is a fuging mess.  In games we’re still undisciplined, be it penalties or assignments.  We do NOT execute.  We got random coaches calling plays that won’t be calling plays during the season, we have our players getting into fights in the last padded practice of the preseason, then we have Bryce and Chuba trying to correct it while our coach sat off to the side laughing.  To be clear, I like Canales.  He seems like a good dude.  But, it feels like we have very little direction and discipline.  You’re allowing a team who has been historically bad the last almost decade, with a losing culture that mostly bereft of talent to self-police?  You’re allowing subordinates to work in pet projects at the expense of getting valuable reps and evaluation of players in during games?     My friend literally brought up last night that when Ben Johnson got there he essentially put DJ Moore in notice because it was starting to be perceived that he was displaying some diva-behavior.  That’s leadership.  And they’re reaping the benefits early and setting a tone.  My friend said there is an excitement and confidence in and around their team that’s he’s never felt his entire life.  And here we are, sounding and looking like The Bad News Bears in our final week of training camp and preseason.  I literally stopped watching after halftime last week.  I used to watch every play faithfully, even in 2001 and 2010.  It was fun.  This isn’t.  We are bad and our administration keeps making bad decisions to compound things.  Reading poo like this today is just fuging deflating.
