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.

Winning cures all and wipes the slate clean.

Wolfe claims when Thomas Brown called plays Frank dictated what he could and couldn’t call. 

*once again the steady reminder what Panther folks say in front of a microphone is often BS, PR and lies.  I know that is unsettling to a small few that go down quoting it as the unquestioned truth when uttered.

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. 
 

I would start with Adam Peters

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?

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
