Don't know anything about this guy except his success last year with the Baker and Geno.

If Tepper didn't shitt the bed with his antics and bad decision making,we may have had a chance at one of the top candidates.

Now we have to roll the dice on a guy with limited experience and hope he can be a leader of men. Have the feeling Tepper wanted a guy he can force his will on.

I hope for the best and expect the worst...

Good job

I like the guy and hoping for the best.

My two main concerns:

1.) Is he going to be given time to install his vision. We've been trying to convert to an offense that's this side of 1986 and it's going to take more than one off season to do it, especially when you consider our current draft capital situation. Unfortunately, if recent history is any indicator, he has around 10 regular season games to pull it off. So does he work with the pieces we currently have? i.e. run a 1980s power run offense? Transition gradually? Rip the band aid off and suck for another season or two? Tough spot.

2.) He seems too nice and positive. Gives me a little bit of Frank Reich vibe. Tepp-dawg seems to gravitate towards agreeable people that he can steamroller. Hopefully either Bryce gets fixed or people realize that Bryce's limitations are the actual problem.

To be honest. I don't really understand the Canales hype.

Because Baker looked halfass decent this season? Baker is who he's always been. Streaky at best (fingers crossed they over pay him this off-season). The Bucs run game was sh!t all year. Hell we should've outscored them last game.

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
