Well they all seem to be in agreement and quoting defensive coordinators that Frank Reich has been painfully predictable and the entire league knows what we are doing.   And unless you have a roster of all pros you will simply lose in the NFL if that is what you are.

Wolfe makes a decent point about how it has taken a lot of owners a long time to “get it”. People forget that.  49ers fired 3 coaches in 24 months before Kyle Shannahan.  But they are used as an example of an org that “gets it” and people act like that wasn’t part of the path. 

Jed York was in the exact same situation before he hired Lynch and Shanahan, and told them that he would just let them do their thing but this only works if you hire the right pair.

And they keep circling back to just how trash Frank was.   So much tied to his poo and predictable O.  They essentially say everyone sees it that knows football.  Referenced when it was called out in the 3rd quarter last week during the game. It has a lot to do with the OL getting destroyed.  Frank sets it up for implosion.

Yeah, I think if Tepper actually hired a good HC….it would be much easier to stay uninvolved.    

I really hope he fires Fitt, hires a firm to go get him a HC/GM pairing for the 2024 version of the NFL with  a vision and stays out of it for a couple years.

Since smitty got on the payroll, Ive basically stopped listening. 

Dam shame cause I enjoyed most of his takes. I even remember he was on an island about some white WR named kupp being the best WR in the draft....

Well, 89 referenced that narrative.  So he is at least aware tha people view it that way.   Given the 89’s style and wealth (and present earnings)  I doubt a little check from Tepper has turned him into his lapdog 

I think it’s possible 89 doesn’t trash Tepper because he probably would behave similar lol and just agrees with that style of management.

Didn’t he flat out say he isn’t on their payroll in an earlier podcast?

    • That can be a chicken or the egg scenario. Canales knows what the QB is good at and is not good at better than we do.  He would have reasons for not calling deep shots, if he is holding back. They could include protection concerns, as well as any Young related motivations.  I think there always the chance Bryce doesn’t see the man open down the field and it is just that simple, more than a confidence issue. Probably a mix of the two.   
    • This is a partially bad take.  Willis is the only guy mentioned here that can reasonably be expected to perform at a level higher than Bryce.  Winston and Minshew is washed, and Howell was not good in Washington as a starter and didn’t field a single snap this past year. I swear the only reason people are obsessed over him is that he went to UNC.  You’re not going to have better success, or even potential for success with those guys as your QB as you would with Bryce. Now, if you want to argue this thing from a production per dollars perspective, that it’d be better to roll with one of them instead because we could allocate the savings elsewhere on the roster, that’d be a better argument IMO. I’d disagree with it; relying on a QB making less they $5MM/year that isn’t on a rookie contract is not a winning strategy.  But I could see the argument that it’s possibly a viable alternative to Bryce on a $25MM/year contract.    But no, none of those QBs are better than Bryce. 
    • No team hits on every pick.  Every coach and GM will eventually get fired.   We are a better team and have greatly increased the talent on the roster. Bad GMs lead to losses.   I love the teams current setup in the front office and the process in how we look at talent and coaching.  Canales has often said we want to have a player developmental philosophy as a core tenant.  I love that combined with cutting edge analytics and good football knowledge and experience.
