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.

    • Just going off the draft sims and he's always sitting around 20 lol. First year in a while where we haven't been thinking about the draft already in late October so haven't really looked into the top 15-20 picks yet. Also the qb class is super weak so he probably will sneak up into 10-15
    • I fully expect them to pick up his 5th year , and they're waiting for him to put a full excellent consistent season of QB play in year 4 or 5. If that don't happen,  they'll eventually cut ties.  Here's to hoping he just goes on a team in 2026. The worst thing he could do is continue to see-saw us to around .500 records because it might be impossible to replace him at that point unless youre willing to do the veteran qb carousel poo we did from 2019 to 2023.   
    • What do you think of Bryce Youngs career thus far? Are you excited about his progress or is it not enough for you? I included a poll of ranking his performance through 3 years thus far.  I personally think he's made some decent progress. Has had some high moments (last half of 2024, Rams game, ATL game in 2025)  but in my mind, those are still outweighed by the many more lowlights thus far (ex turnovers, missed throws, poor decisions)  It's a very mixed bag for me. He's done enough to get a 5th year option but by no means should we lock him in with a 50+ mil a year multi year deal. I want to see him play consistently well for a full year before that happens (yes, I'm still saying that going into year 4. That might be telling).  Just sucks when you see CJ Stroud, Jayden Daniel's, Caleb Williams almost immediately lighting poo up with their arm talent. Maybe Bryce is just an ultra slow burn. I don't know what to think anymore. Guess we're gonna be stuck with him for a whilr unless we end up being bad enough to earn a high pick next year. I doubted it lol. Overall Stats for his career:       ● 14 W - 30L (regular season)       ● 0-1 playoffs record        ● 61.4% completion, 8291 passing yards, 49 TDs, 30 INTs  Year 1:       ● 2 wins, 14 losses      ● 60% completion rate, 2877 passing yards, 11 TD to 10 INTs, 5.5 yards per attempted pass Year 2:        ● 4 wins , 8 losses        ● 60.9% completion rate,  2403 passing yards, 15 TD, 9 INTs,  6.3 yards per attempted pass  Year 3:        ● 8 Wins, 8 Losses         ● 63.6% competition rate, 3011 passing yards, 23 TDs to 11 INTs  Playoffs         ● 1 game in year 3 ( 0 - 1 in playoffs)         ● 21/40 (52.5% completion rate), 264 passing yards, 1 TD, 1 INT.
