Holder has also said that Reich wanted Stroud. So did the others mentioned above as well as Adam Schefter back during the draft.

I thought Holder speculated that Stroud was Frank’s type of QB, as many others did. But I never saw anyone saying Frank didn’t want Young.

I made a thread about how there would be a random coach or scout fired because they were going to say "I told you so" to Tepper about picking Young over Stroud. I thought it might be McCown based on those sound bites we heard after Stroud's Pro Day, but Staley surprised me.

Who cares. He didn’t catch 3 balls last year and he didn’t catch 4 balls this year. On half the receptions last year he had more yards than he’s had this year on twice the receptions. Basically, he’s getting shorter passes and his ypc went down 1.1 ypc this year. That’s a huge drop.

Chuba’s best year was 2022.

This, this is what we call an "agenda" kids.

You can't look at targets vs receptions to determine drops.  For instance Theilen has 100 targets and 77 receptions - did he "drop" 23 balls?  No.  Theilen has 4 drops this year.

Chuba is a better player this year than last, who finds himself on a far worse team.

My guess is Deuce was fired for one of 2 reasons... 

1.  Tepper did because he felt he had to in order to name anyone else the interim since Deuce was the Asst HC.

2.  Deuce threw a fit about not being named interim since he was brought in as the Asst HC and then Tepper fired him over that (and I wouldn't blame Deuce for doing if that was the case).

McCown is the interesting one considering how well regarded he was around the league as a potential fast track OC candidate.  Best guess is he never wanted Bryce and was never quiet about it inside the building, so this was just a natural parting point with him.

My only issue with getting rid of Bryce's QB coach is that it's only going to further hinder his development, which I don't put on the coaches so far, but on his lack of any even above average physical traits.

Ok. I think we're talking in circles here. I guess my point is I did not see any notable improvement from Hubbard and especially Blackshear when it comes to their offense/RB roles that would make me think Staley was worth keeping around. The stats bear that out, you're saying your eye test tell you they are improved. I can't really argue with your eyes, but I'm not seeing this supposed improvement you are and thus I'm not surprised Staley was sent packing.

Yeah, Chubba is largely still just Chubba.  

We removed guys like CMC so you don’t see the glaring difference when Hubbard is in.  

Miles Sanders was not a good RB overall RB in Philly.  I spent half the offseason telling everyone that.  And so now people see him as better than Sanders as improvement. 

*obviously he has had some steady improvement while in the league.  Nothing glaring.  Just more reps because what he has always largely been…..now defaults him into the best playmaker we have thanks to Fitt/Tepper.

The big question is what, if anything, McCown has done in terms of coaching Bryce. His footwork is atrocious to point one thing out.

Thats a great point.  His footwork was poo at bama when he was pressured and you would think that the team would have worked with him in the spring  until now but alas here we are.   If the damn guys on the huddle can pinpoint it you have to think damn nfl coaches are trying to correct it.

The problem is you can only coach up a QB so much, if you don't have the talent, you're not going to succeed.

I think the footwork is more on Bryce just not being able to play at the speed of the NFL game, if you can't keep up with the speed at this level as a QB, your footwork is going to be terrible because you're always a step or two behind where you should be anyways.

I'm not absolving McCown, I just think it's hard to judge his coaching job based on how far below average Bryce is in every single physical trait needed for the position.

We just gonna gloss over the fact this was a Tabor/Caldwell decision and not Tepper?

Dave keeps making mistakes but to blame him for everything is just getting silly.

I don't believe this was Tepper's decision.

Mind you, that doesn't necessarily mean it's a good decision.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
