People often miss out Gen X 'cos it's not as sexy to say as Boomer or Millennial. 

The youngest boomers are pushing 60, I don't think it's literal the way the internet uses it now.  In the common parlance it's more descriptive of an attitude.

Anyway if you go to the parts of the internet where Gen Z kids hang out they're already starting in on Gen Alpha with "kids these days... " takes.  Time truly is a flat circle.

Yeah, I just don't see anyone with other options coming here to be micromanaged to death by Tepper and get saddled with his "super processor" QB. Not exactly an ideal situation.

DeBoer has just taken the Alabama job (and given a horrendous exit meeting to the Washington players) and confirmed that Saban will be 100% involved in everything... as Nick is sat in the front row of the press conference.

It's just not going to work.

Any aspiring GM / HC should say to Tepper "I'm going to evaluate the current roster and pick my own players. Addressing the elephant in the room, I'm going to bring in legitimate competition for Bryce Young THIS offseason". 

They won't, of course, because we'll be left with the GM / HC candidates that are desperate to make the step up and will acquiesce to the crazy owner's wishes. Just like Reich did, cos he was glad to be offered a job.

Entertaining game so far. Best of the bunch to this point. Lions are maybe a top tier corner and another pass rush threat away from being a real deal.

Yeah Hutch needs a running mate. They've not been able to hit on a true top tier corner but I figure that can change in the offseason.

Yikes. Yeah, not sure why he signed up for that after taking Washington to the national championship game.

It's the same concern I'd have going to the Seahawks with Carroll evidently staying with the organization a different role. That's gonna make for a weird dynamic.

      Lol. The Texans are literally one of Bryce's six career NFL wins. WTF are you talking about?

      Yeah, I mean it is a statistical fact and also part of literally a player evaluation. Winston has literally lost dozens of games in his NFL career due to crippling TO's. It's just who he is. Look, it's fun when those insane throws work and he is leading you back from some crazy deficit. But those success are rare. It's why his career GWD count is so low. He's fun but he is fundamentally built to lose games.  If you are talking about a backup QB, you are literally already losing in the first place. That's how you see a backup QB and that's overwhelmingly what they tend to do. Rookie QB's almost always benefit from veteran QB's. Same as literally any other position in the NFL. Why do you think that you so often hear that from the playera themselves? As for Bryce NEEDING one, no he sure as poo shouldn't this late in the game. But he also shouldn't have needed this fuging long to get his fuging footwork straightened out either. Yet here we are.

      Comfortability is the primary reason. They don't want to hurt Bryce's confidence. But I say if his confidence is that fragile that healthy competition which makes everyone better is enough for them to keep making Andy Dalton rich then Bryce was never going to be the guy anyway. Give me the QB who sees the competition amongst his peers and uses it to take it to the next level. Instead we get the guy who comes out looking like a deer in the headlights against the Texans after we've done everything possible to appease him. Definition of complacency.
