Honestly I don't even blame Reich for this

Reich was probably brought into this with the idea of drafting his QB and picking his staff. He got the staff... but Tepper demanded Young. Reich caved. And now Young looks really bad, and Reich looks bad as a result.

The real problem here is Tepper. Reich isn't a great coach, but I don't think he's this bad. Every bit of our offseason lands on Tepper. The knives are going to start coming out once heads roll, and I think a lot of people are going to start talking about how this wasn't their choice once they lose their jobs.

I honestly believe Reich wants to be fired at this point. Early retirement with full pay. 

Why wouldn't he? He's not in control. He didn't get his QB and is stuck with Young, who doesn't fit the scheme and looks really bad. It's a lost cause. Tepper wanted Bryce. He got him, no matter the cost.

If any of the “Bryce was picked to not ruffle feathers” thing is true, then I 100% blame Frank and Fitt.

Have some balls and some pride. Do your job and fight for what’s best for your team and for your staff.

ANY OF US would accept $30-$40 million thrown at us, ANY of us, don't blame him.

He's a HORRIFIC coach with a stale ass offense

He's a nice person

He licked the right boots, coddled the right billionaire's ego (Nicole) and cups the other billionaire (David)

 

I blame the idiot running the franchise who thinks he can run an NFL team the Appaloosa way

I'd have more sympathy for Reich if he didn't trot out the SAME EXACT THING every single week. Like fug man, switch up the O-Line. switch up the scheme. Go power running with Bryce under center. SOMETHING.

 

The reason we can't move the ball is becuase the opposing defense knows whats coming

O-Line switches weekly and within each game because the whole team continues to get injured. We can bring in random nobodies without experience with the rest of the line/scheme and it's not going to get better. We're just screwed at this point.

This is a fair reason for Dalton to see a few more starts.  Some say you can’t evaluate Bryce with this team, I say you can evaluate this team or staff with Bryce.  The knife cuts both ways.  A few Dalton starts would provide some much needed clarity before chopping more heads.

I blame whoever made the final call on Bryce

If Tepper forced it and Reich tried to push back as much as possible and couldn't get him to budge, then I blame Tepper.

If Tepper tried to force it and Reich really could have shut it down by saying he didn't believe in Young's abilities, but didn't, then I blame Reich.

It was clear as day that he didn't have the physical traits necessary to make it in this league, no matter how amazing his brain was.  It's also now clear that he has an amazing brain in the film room, like Luke did, but it doesn't translate to the field at the speed of the NFL game, at least not near enough to make up for his lack of physical traits.

So whoever had the power to not draft Bryce but didn't use that power, that is who is to blame.

Problem is we'll never know unless someone involved throws that person under the bus publicly down the line.

Frank isn’t the first nor will he be the last to not get it his way on things.  He also is just a bad HC.  I think because he acts like he is on sedatives people ignore a lot of the Rhule-ish to him. 

like today.   That was a horrible call at the end.  Frank’s take? That should be a TD and Chark did a poor job.  That’s seems like a pretty Matt Rhule-ish breakdown.

    • How did this “innovative” narrative start with Canales? Just because he’s young? He truly wants to run the ball and nothing Tampa did last year was all that creative. Mike Evans ability to win 1 on 1 does wonders for an offense as a whole 
    • Initially, I wanted Stroud but I thought the trade up meant that, whoever they chose, it was for a reason.  There was no pressure to do anything for the entire scouting team to do other than investigate every aspect of the top 3 candidates.  Stroud had his question marks, and I think it is possible that he falters this year.  Bryce had a much worse situation here in Carolina because we neglected the OL, traded our #1 WR, did not pick WRs well in the draft, traded our pro bowl RB, and seem to disregard the TE position altogether.  Bozeman was not a good fit and we relied on an improved OL in 2022 to suggest that we were set there when we were far from it.  Fitterer had no vision, no grasp of talent, and everyone in the front office and on the coaching staff were pretending to be gurus.  Our coaching staff was a group of men earning a lifetime achievement paycheck.  It all goes back to the years of neglect for the OL.  My theory?  If Stroud had come to Carolina, he would be as mocked and ridiculed as Bryce Young.   No, he does not have a cannon.  Chad Pennington was a weak-armed QB who had success and would have been even better if it were not for injuries.  Smarts is important at QB, and so are mechanics.  Before you can address Young's mechanics, he needs an OL, Running game, and weapons. We were not really able to run play action from under center for a few reasons--play action is not effective when you have to pass the ball--other than that, the QB must turn his back to the LOS for about 1.5 seconds.  When the QB has less than 2.5 seconds to pass the ball, that eliminates that part of the play book.  Heck, even the run option is minimized when there is immediate facial pressure.  SO those who want to talk about happy feet, bouncing, etc--they are symptoms of the problem, not the problem.  A weak arm?  Well, Young's arm is between Chad Pennington and Joe Montana--closer to Joe.  His are is not as weak as some think--but he has issues with the deep ball. When you are reacting to the defense and quickly have to pass, then that takes away the strength because you don't have the base to get power behind it.  I still wish we had taken Stroud, but we have Young and if you toss him out before giving him support, you are not wise, unsmart, not unfoolish, and rather elite in your failure to attain mediocrity.  Expect growth.  How much? Nobody knows.
