I rejoice in the benching and hopeful for eventual dismissal. I’m uneasy about this being non congruent with our assessment of how unfit for the nfl Bryce is and What Tep sees/believes. As obtuse as it may seem, if Tep bought in to the enormous pre draft hype and is obviously emotionally invested in Bryce succeeding, he likely is living a completely different reality than the rest of us. 

We and everyone else see the benching as an endpoint to an obvious situation: he has no business in the nfl. This is his retreat in to the sunset. 

What T may believe is that he is still correct, and Bryce has superstar potential. When you’re never wrong, then it means that you’re NEVER wrong. Instead of believing what he sees, he sees what he believes. There are many like this. We all probably know several. 

I could be way off base, I want to believe that I am, but probably not. So yes, the journey continues. I would expect another go round with BY at some point in the future, but for now I’m going to enjoy what a touchdown feels like again.

I can explain the hate for you, hepcat. Bryce should have been benched after the first drive of the third quarter. The fact that he wasn't, combined with Dave C's weird "Bryce is our QB" quote after the game, then benching him the next day pretty much told us that at the very least, he needed Tepper's permission to bench Bryce, at worst, Tepper made our HC coach bench Bryce. Either scenario is not how an NFL team is supposed to function, so it means that Tepp has learned nothing after 6 years. Hence the hate.

I mean, the very first thing I think is have you ever heard of 'the dreaded vote of confidence'?

And coach speak. 

People are grasping at that to say that Bryce was misled, or to justify being pissed that Tepper was involved.

But, Canales saying Bryce is the QB immediately after the game, that proves nothing (either way), it is just standard procedure postgame verbage.

I guess there must be a clip somewhere of a coach benching a player in the post game media minute but there can't many, it isn't SOP for people.  

Unless it was Mike Singletary who didn't wait that long, or Wilks lol sending Robbie the showers. 

I don't mind a bit about people being pissed at Tepper for what we know. I just don't think we know that.

He is the scapegoat for everything because it's the easiest simplest solution to bring everything on one person.  He has made some bad decisions as he's learned and been humbled.   He may continue to, or he may learn from them as he appears to have done so far this season.  The thing he's got going for him is he definitely wants to win.  Sunday people here were saying Tepper is forcing Canales to stick with Bryce and the next day people here say Tepper forced him to bench him.  Tepper isn't the boogeyman so many people are making him.

Most of us are pissed at how can Tepper be a billionaire but yet so blind that Randy from Gastonia knew Stroud was the right pick with NO Scouting analysis

You say that now, but at the time the VAST majority of this board and the media was strongly for us drafting Bryce. There weren’t many of us advocating for Stroud.

Nah bro many of us wanted Stroud. The eye test was strong with this one.

Stroud or AR should have been the pick.

It does not matter how you feel about benching bryce, David tepper being involved in the decision is NOT a good thing. Just because he makes a singular good call does not mean he should be involved. This only makes me more concerned about our future moving forward 

So what evidence do we have he was involved?

At first I wanted Stroud, but I was not 100% sold because Ohio State had a long history of NFL QB busts.  Bryce?  His size made me nervous, but I figured they knew more than I did, so I conditioned myself to like Bryce.  I watched the Bama tape and he seemed to be smart and accurate.  I think others started supporting Bryce the more they showed interest.  Towards the draft, however, I pulled my interest and decided either would be nice.  I was wrong.

Agreed, that is a fairly common thing in all sports.  He is still our coach/qb/pitcher/point guard/etc....  And then the next day, he isn't.

      Evero HC requests!

      By 45catfan · Posted

      They are obviously waiting on for someone o the Seahawks or Patriots staff.  If they wanted Evero, it would be a done deal already. The only silver lining is if the guy they are waiting for turns them down.  In that instance I do think Evero is their backup plan.

      Evero to the Raiders makes zero sense unless the OC he's pitching them is a failed HC who doesn't have interest in trying for it again. They're a team about to draft a QB #1 overall, developing him is job #1 for the new coach/staff.  Hiring a DC with a young up and coming OC wouldn't make any sense, because then you risk losing that OC to a HC job after maybe just a year or two and that young QB has to change system, play caller, etc. It's why hiring an offensive minded coach makes the only sense.  The Raiders have to make the right hire/pick with this HC hire and #1 pick combo because of that division they're in, it's a gauntlet and you can't screw up this opportunity.

      Very intrigued how Morgan and Canales handle the offseason

      1. Sadly, it's just too early to tell with Icky. And the draft will have come and gone before we have anything, FA, too probably. Njiman was good, but there's dollars to be invested there as well. This is really our biggest puzzle to figure out. And Moton on the other flank is getting long in the tooth, too.  2. Coker: Pay the man WR2 money.  3. Most WRs take three years before you really know what you've got. We'll know for sure by the end of this one and he's still on a relatively inexpensive rookie contract. Now if someone comes calling for a good, good trade... 4. This is the make or break for good teams vs bad teams. And depth development is essential. We've had a bit of that but there isn't a spot on our line that doesn't have worries except for maybe on guard.  5. I think you draft the best ILB, the smartest one in the first round and don't look back. People lost their poo here on this board when we "wasted" a pick on Luke Kuechly.  6. Yeah, I think Chuba is a workhorse. But we need to be more decisive in his use. Still not sure Rico doesn't come back next season, too. He'll get to see the marketplace first, though, and we'll offer similar numbers to him.
