The timing is very slightly unusual but not that much.  These firings usually happen after the draft and before camp.  Also he's been here 18 months and I'm totally fine getting rid of anyone who helped make personnel decisions last year.  Also I'm not sure why people think this was a Tepper thing?

Why exactly did they think it was a great idea to hire a guy off the fuging Cardinals office anyway? Aside from him being a local guy. Also why is that Cole Spencer dude still lingering around? He's like the Ian Thomas of the FO. This whole thing is still a mess regardless of Canales and Morgan having a bond or something

We are more pissed at the disfunction then the firing. Please keep up 

Right “we stole him from the Cardinals.” Lol that was you right? I think you are just mad at so many things it’s hard to keep up.

So we have a new GM and VP, now an old VP from last year’s staff is gone. This really isn’t news.

We have no idea what's going on. Maybe fired, maybe took a different job, maybe decided to get out of the game to spend more time with family. Could be anything.

Let's move on. It's not like any of us were really stoked about what was going on in his office. Most of us had never given it a thought.

 

Lol, so true. Someone who was hired in February of 2023 is part of our legit worst season ever. When he leaves all of a sudden he was the voice of reason and Tepper’s firing him because he was the best exec we had. SMH. I’ve been as critical of this 6 year shitfest as anyone but I’m not looking at this as a mistake or harbinger of anything. We already didn’t have the #1 pick or the haul for Burns or Stroud so I don’t see how this means anything.

So lets clean house after our worst season ever by promoting the right hand man to GM.  Makes perfect sense.   So we hire a up and coming dude 18 months ago and then fire him 2 weeks before TC.  Yeah if someone is still defending this disorganized mess of a franchise then they probably need to be committed.  I cannot imagine simping for the fuging teppers after everything we now no.  But you guys do your thing

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
