I was dating a girl who had Georgia tech tickets while he was there and he was the highlight of those teams. He is also apparently a very good smash brothers player 

He was also an active participant in the misinformation campaign around the attempted Kansas abortion ban back in 2022. One thing to have an opinion/support a position, another to spout the inaccurate bullshit that group was putting out there in an attempt to overturn the choice.

never forget: most of the 9/11 terrorists were engineers

I mean, Kicker might genuinely be one of our 2 or 3 strongest positions over the last few seasons as sad as that is.  We've lucked into some pretty good ones with Gonzalez/Pineiro.  I dunno how much a marginal upgrade at Kicker would've moved the needle for us.

Yeah, but it’s a prime example of how bad our organization evaluates talent and the mismanagements of the salary cap.

I really don't think it was that bad if you objectively evaluate all of the details at the time.  As someone else pointed out, it was reported that Butker struggled in camp to separate himself from Gano.  I think it makes sense why we were reluctant to just hand him the starting job right off the bat.  We signed him to our Practice Squad (didn't just outright cut him like some people claim) and the Chiefs only claimed him because their starting kicker got injured.  It's not like everyone in the league were drooling at the uber talented Harrison Butker and immediately pounced as soon as we foolishly stashed him on the Practice Squad.  So I don't even know how much credit I'm willing to give to the Chiefs' talent evaluation when they ostensibly would've kept rolling with Cairo Santos all season long if he hadn't gotten injured.  Seems much more likely that they just happened to luck into a really good kicker with Butker.

Where I do think we screwed up with Butker, was not giving him enough opportunities in the actual preseason.  We alternated Gano and Butker all preseason instead of just giving Butker all the kicks in order to give him the opportunity to win the starting job, as I believe we should've done since Gano was more-or-less a known commodity.

Can we stop with the “what could have been” and look to the future? I mean this group (forum) acts like a guy who dated a hot girl once and keeps reminiscing of the “good times”

When there is something to look to, sure. At the moment though it's all deja vu.

      Panthers run ONE play on repeat

      Option 3....Reich didn't have a clue what to do, especially with a rookie QB. It wasn't that he wanted to draft a different QB. It's that he wanted a vet. I think he was in over his head even in Indy and barely managed to hang in because of the established QBs he had to work with. He knew what to do with vet QBs looking for a second chance because that's who he was as a pro. And the (limited) success he had as a player himself transferred on to his players. He didn't really have to reinvent much in Indy like he was going to have to do here. He was a likeable guy, but he wasn't enough as a leader as was needed for the cast of coaches and personalities he had here. To pull that off you'd need to be the biggest and strongest personality in the room and he never was. It was just a bad fit for a weak leader and head coach. I just don't think anyone except that for that cokehead in Indy knew just how weak Reich was.

      Or he got the QB that he wanted and he was just overrated as a coach because he had a good QB(luck) or a good OC.

      I'm left with two possible conclusions here. One, Reich just saw a sucker in Tepper and hit him up for a check to ride into retirement on. Two, Reich took the job expecting a different QB to be the pick probably through his influence of the draft process. He and Bryce seemed like a major mismatch from the get go. Unless he was just looking for one last payday I really don't think he would've taken the job if he felt like Bryce would ultimately be the pick. There was a lot of talk about Reich always preferring QBs with good size and big arms. Now granted, all else being equal who doesn't? But it was always talked about that Bryce was basically the physical antithesis of what Reich had historically preferred at QB. Hell, maybe it was a little bit of both. I can get this newbie owner to give me a pile of money based on my experience because his woefully inexperienced coach flopped horribly and then hopefully I can influence the draft process to get the QB I want. If not, oh well. At least I got paid! LOL
