Who among us wouldn't pocket a few extra million to narc on our colleagues?

"Sorry dave, haven't heard anything lately..."

"Reich isn't running any RPO and refusing to adjust his scheme, Thomas Brown's wife hates it here, the locker room is calling Miles "Inches" Sanders, and Icky says he has blackmail on you so he has to stay at LT"

The more and more that comes out the more I feel for Reich, Staley and McCown. All those dudes probably envisioned such a different situation when they heard they had the number one pick with a team that finished the prior season strong with a defense that was built to compete. 
 

then they were made the scapegoats when the owner fell in love with the test taker over the actual QB. 
 

it was an absolute no win situation for those guys.

For the sake of argument, do we think these rats were put in place by Tepper or did they start doing it on their own as the ultimate brown-nosers?

We actually do know the answer to that question.

Per a prior report (think it was Breer but I'm not positive) Tepper was known to go around asking assistant coaches to talk about other assistants.

So basically, he not only sought it out, but he encouraged it.

And Campen and Tabor were Rhule holdovers.

Tepper asked Frank to keep them on.

They had no reason to be loyal to the other guys.

I bet the snitching started during Rhule’s time.

I like Frank Reich as a person, but he does not have the ability to command a locker room or a coaching staff. The all-star coaching staff looked good on paper but the second it looked like it wasn't gonna work everyone went into self-preservation mode trying to save their own jobs. 

can you imagine if someone did this on a Vrabel or Campbell coached team?  Holy poo

“More than a few”….

I mean, Campen wasn’t fired because of that….Tepper clearly encouraged and sought it.  Which is why he had more than Campen doing it.    It would be naive to think the many are now gone. 

I still think Jim Caldwell is one.  How else do you go from advising the worst O in the NFL….to helping hire the next era.  He is Tepper guy.

We know one was Tabor.

Jim Caldwell wouldn't surprise me either.

Probably a few players as well.

Whoever it was, get them on a bus out of town and have a zero tolerance policy.

No one past the GM and HC should be reporting to the big boss man.

Absolutely, I would make sure my staff knew that if they break the chain of command they will be fired immediately.  This isn't the military but anytime you have some below you and going above you creates discontent. 

Tepper should know this more than anyone.  He's the owner but has no clue on how to run a football team.

      Fvck Bryce Young

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Idk man, I think it’s necessary.  There’s people working 9-5s everyday that get told poo about what they aren’t and what they’re not capable of and they’re working for scraps.  These guys are making millions.  People are watching and invested because their team and fandom is a part of their identity and a big source of pride.  When someone like Bryce comes in and is given chance after chance after chance after proving he is not worthy of the position he’s being gifted, and he continues to be the biggest reason above any that we are losing, yeah…  I think it’s fair to call a spade a spade.  Am I saying Bryce the person is trash?  Bryce the person is a piece of poo?  Absolutely not.     I came up in an era, especially in basketball, where if you were fuging up people heckled the poo out of you.  I played in rec leagues as a teen where the fuging parents were calling kids trash and yelling poo like “TURNOVER!!!  TURNOVER!!!”  “CANT DRIBBLE!”  “CANT SHOOT!”  And that’s adults screaming that poo to kids like we were in the fuging Rucker lol.🤣🤣🤣  I went on to play basketball at a collegiate level and with professional players in different settings.  What those experiences as a kid taught me was to see if there is any merit to what people are saying, and if there is, then work my ass off til they can’t say that anymore.  Come back better, tougher, harder.  And I did.  If kids can figure that poo out, an adult calling another adult who is bad at his job while making millions and millions of dollars will be just fine.

      I'm 43.... I've lived half my life if I am lucky... will we ever have another team that we will fall in love with?!?

      I have tried to like this team, lord knows I have tried. BY9 is a nice young man, if I had a daughter he can take her to prom, but he ain't QB1 and he's not Cam or Delhomme Chuba is a average RB, he isn't Stephen Davis, he isn't J-Stew McMillan has the makings of a good WR, but he isn't 89/Moose D. Brown is a great player, but if the game was on the line I want Kris Jenkins       I miss this brand of football, even in the bad Jake games the games were entertaining It has been nearly 8 years now of watching numb football

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      I'm not so sure. Something about the whole Frank/Bryce situation seemed off from day 1. Bryce didn't fit Frank's QB mold as well as Stroud, then he basically gives up when Bryce is named starter in preseason but gets virtually no reps in games. Then he looks completely unprepared and Dalton steps in in Seattle, has a decent game under immense pressure, and it's right back to Bryce. All his mechanics are terrible and he's having the worst rookie season ever and Frank doesn't bench him?  You dont have to be a conspiracy theorist to know Bryce wasn't ready to be a day 1 starter. Everything with Bryce, then coaches, and the FO seemed forced.
