The More I Hear, The More I like Dave Canales

Like many other narratives, that was just a speculation that kept getting repeated until simple minds just accepted it as true. For all we know Tepper wanted Stroud, Reich wanted Young and Tepper let him take who he wanted. When the decision proved to be comically bad, that’s why Tepper fired him in the middle of his first season, because it was such an easily avoided mistake. That’s also basic speculation but makes more sense with all factors included. No one knows or will know who was team Stroud and who the dummies were except the three people involved in the decision and there’s no way any of them will give a straight truthful answer about it either.

Bryce needs to be much more then "servicable". First round pick needs to be the guy and a difference maker. Anything less is bullshitt.

Sure that's ideal but not reality.  The vast majority of 1st round QBs bust.   If it doesn't work,  you move on.

It's just a little too early to say that for me. I have to see what we do in FA and the draft before I make my mind up. But, today, I really can't see more than three wins (so it would be a miracle to get to six).

Oh I'm not expecting it. Getting 3 wins is an improvement. I'm just watching to see what will be different than the crap we've continued to see every season. I really do not care what they do in the draft or FA. What matters is what they do on the field.

I agree fundamentally, but you gotta know what happens in FA and the draft to a great extent leads to what they do on the field. Not to mention that what was done in FA and especially the draft (including dealing picks" is the main reason why we are where we are right now: the worst team in the NFL.

The draft is going to be crucial to this team. There's been too many draft picks wasted on chasing unicorns thinking what they had could compete with the best teams in the league.  Tepper is going to have to let someone build this team from the ground up and tune out the fan noise.  And most of all stay away from the team until game day.

    • Cheers OP. I wanted TMac to be the pick and was so excited, and surprised, when his name was called.    Last year, I wanted one of the Xaviers, Worthy or Legette. So Dan has been delivering on my wish lists. Now I hope it pays off over the next few years.    With our trade up last year into the first, we could have a dynamic WR duo on cost-controlled contracts for 4 years. 
    • Yea I have it.  When it flares it can be very severe.  I had an extended hospitalization a couple years ago and it took a while to recover.  Can’t imagine trying to deal with that as a pro athlete.  It’s hard enough as a desk jockey.
    • I think the difference is that The Golden Calf of Bristol and Cam were just big personalities with big time talent (The Golden Calf of Bristol just lacked any consistency, leading to most of us hating him because it felt like he pulled big plays out of his ass). Sanders is a good talent who is completely full of himself and the ego feels unearned. You should WANT to change the bad culture of the losing franchise you expect to go to as a top pick...but that's a thing you keep to yourself or articulate well enough that it doesn't come off as "we're doing poo my way, if you don't like that, don't draft me".  You don't create an entire room touting yourself as legendary when you did absolutely nothing legendary at the collegiate level. Nobody is going to be fondly remembering Shadeur Sanders the college QB. Johnny Football is there, Cam is there, Vince Young is there, RGIII is there, The Golden Calf of Bristol is there.   Sanders needs humility and to pry himself away from his father. His father is going to tank his career before it is even started.    Sanders may bounce around the league as a backup for a few years, he'll play in select games and look like a backup but he'll have that one game where he pops off and that game will be used to say "see?! He's great!" and then he'll get the start and never live up to that game again.
