Dude, you're first point is so insanely wrong it hurts.  He had Luck his first season in 2018, 2019 he retired before the season and they had jacoby brissett, third year they had the final year of Phillip rivers career, next was Carson Wentz, and his final year in Indy he had Matt Ryan.  In no world did he have andrew luck for "most of it".  also its pretty openly known now that Reich wanted Stroud, Tepper wanted Young, so we took young.

 

Reich is a trashcan of a coach, but we don't have to make up stuff to prove our point.

true, I stand corrected.... but the bulk of his wins were under Rivers and Luck... 2 qbs that force wins that really arent due to coaching...

Now THIS is absolutely correct.  They held the Offense together and they had a good defense, those 2 things will produce wins as long as you don't get in the way.  Hell it was the Rivera Method with Cam and a dominant defense.

Two videos of Mike Lombardi from the Pat McAfee show...

The idea of Reich being "broken" from some of his prior experiences actually make a lot of sense. As mentioned before, some of his choices here were just baffling.

Also, his statement that the job could be considered desirable if it comes with a 6 year guaranteed contract is consistent with what's been said elsewhere.

And McAfee's final comment is correct: Tepper still has to make the right choice.

Youre right scot, its similar to what adam put out. 

I wonder how his energy levels were during the hiring process??

How did tepper and fitt not see it?? 

I know not many 70 some old coach cannot have pete carroll PED/meth energy........just matt rhule fooled them and now frank fooled them as well....

Sheena Quick backs it up...

 

This makes a lot of sense, but it also goes against what a lot of people are saying about Tepper making uninformed decisions etc. It seems like it is the opposite, he listens too much to other people. So the upside is that when he figures out who to listen to, he is open to their input.

My biggest complaint about Jerry Richardson was always that he trusted the wrong people (Marty Hurney, in particular).

It's a similar issue with David Tepper, but almost like he doesn't know who to trust. Odd given that he was around some great football minds in Pittsburgh.

It may make more sense to keep Fitterer as he seems to be very connected in the league and you ultimately need someone to handle the financial side of the roster. But our coach should have say over the roster composition so that the scheme will mesh with the players. I think Jim Harbaugh would be a good fit as he is a strong personality, his scheme would fit our existing roster more closely and matches our historical identity, and he can build the roster in his image and let Fetterer handle negotiations. Every personnel decision including trades should be Harbaugh’s final decision.

And basically whoever the coach is should have the option to interview Fitterer and if they do not think he is the right GM, then fire him then. But why fire him now if the new coach felt he would be a good GM.

Spoiler alert: he’s not a good GM

      I gave you a full breakdown and examples from last year as to why I think it's unfair to expect 1k from T-Mac this year if everyone stays healthy. But the TLDR version is we will have 4 legitimately good WRs next year, most rookies who get to 1,000 yards don't have any others on the team with them let alone 3 others, it will be hard for him to put up 1k with out the others being injured or falling short of expectations themselves, but in 2026 without Thielen it's different. Because again, I'm not assuming major injuries or games missed when I'm putting expectations out there for the season, I'm assuming good health.  If those other 3 WRs combine to miss a lot of time, then yes, he needs to get to 1k in that scenario.

      Last year Thielen had 615 yards in 10 games (had more ypg than his 1k season in 23).  XL had 497 in 16 games with tons of drops and Coker had 478 in 11. They also only had only 192 of our 518 targets to get those numbers. So if Thielen has 1,000 yards again, XL and Coker each improve to say 600 yards each, and T-Mac comes in at 800 yards, you're going to say that's not good enough?  Especially if he ends up with close to, if not getting to, double digit TD's like I think he will, as he's going to be a red zone monster for Bryce? Because if that's the breakdown of just the Top 4 and Bryce plays all 17 games, he's going to be pushing a 4,000 yard season as the TEs, RBs, and other WRs will probably add up to 750-1k yards as well, and I think that would be far more than anyone here could be expecting of him this season. Last year the Giants only had 2 players with more than 331 yards besides Nabers and they were 699 and 573 while Nabers "only" had 1,200 yards (granted in 15 games).  While the Jags second leading receiving was a TE with 411 yards and BTJ also "only" had 1,282 but in all 17 games. Odunze couldn't get there (734 in 17 games) with Moore and Allen there, just as McConkey was able to get there because his competition for targets was Quentin Johnson (711 yards), Josh Palmer (584), and Will Dissly (481) who I think Thielen, XL, and Coker are all better than any of them. If everyone stays healthy and XL/Coker have improved, I think Bryce is going to spread the ball around rather than focus on T-Mac in a way that most of the 1k rookies have been able to get. Again I point to MHJ and the Cardinals last year. They had 3,859 yards receiving.   McBride had 1,146, MHJ had 885, then their 3rd and 4th in rec yards were 548 and 414. Take the 146 and 85 that McBride/MHJ had over my example for our guys and give them to the other two and they get to 7 yards shy of the 1,200 combined yards I'm using for XL/Coker, while the rest of the team added up to 866 yards. So, if you expect T-Mac to get to 1k, where are you taking those yards from? if anything, XL and Coker each getting 600 yards seems like a low projection, so they wouldn't come from there. Maybe they come from Thielen now that we have T-Mac as the true #1.  But I think if anything, having T-Mac draw attention will just make it easier for Thielen to get open and him and Bryce have great chemistry already, he's not going to stop throwing his way if he can pick up easy chunks of yards there. So maybe they come from the RBs, TEs, other WRs, but it's I think a very fair example to show why expecting 1,000 yards if everyone stays healthy isn't necessarily fair to him. It's also why I said I'd then expect at least 1,200 yards in 2026, as once Thielen leave and all 3 of T-Mac/XL/Coker get better, they absorb that 1,000 yards Thielen leaves behind with T-Mac probably taking close to half of it and the other two splitting up the other half.
