I don't know how people can be so confidently critical of Reich given the bad management decisions and injury  decimated roster. He might have some issues but more than anything he was the scapegoat of owner and management

I think it is fairly easy to be critical of Frank. His scheme, lack of adjustments, and game day decisions were terrible. Sure the roster is terrible, but so was Frank. Both can be true.

I actually dont mind the firing. I think the right coach can change the direction pretty quickly, but we need the right team builder and as much as I would like to like Fitt, his record is not great. 

I dont mind the aggressiveness of Tepper taking swings at QB's (Teddy, Sam, Baker) QB's  or being aggressive at drafting one, I just wish we would see some success from those swings. 

This becomes a critical offseason to right the ship.

The best thing Dave Tepper can do is to hired a President of Football Operations.  Someone with some league executive experience who will run the team.  Do a nice public introduction where he is going to trust this person and will only be a fan.  No more talking to coaches outside of social situations.  

I think if Tepper were to hire someone good, who will stand up to Tepper, then that might make things better for a future coach.

He's got one but just doesn't know it.......................his wife.

Aggressiveness is only good if you know what you're doing.

Not really. King is a mouth piece spewing his opinion.  That doesn’t change the fact that Bryce has shown absolutely zero even when he had time. 

He's right, though. Protection's been terrible.

Doesn't mean Bryce is without fault, but it's objectively true.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
