At this point, who gives a poo?

Some of these threads, man... 

"We aren't far away" - that's just delusional. 

It has been a systematic deconstruction of a once good football team since Tepper bought it. Year after year, through every impulsive move being the wrong move, missing on basically every draft pick, and one year rentals that get the hell outta here as soon as they can, we are realistically 3-5 years away from being competitive consistently. Anyone that thinks differently needs to be medicated.

So, at this point, who gives a poo? Why would we hope to win? Do you really think that Andy (albeit a serviceable backup in his golden years) would make a deep playoff run? That is just not how this league is set up anymore. We need alllllllllll the draft capital possible to rebuild this entire team and yes, draft a new QB, take as many swings at that as we have to.

This league is set up to allow the top QBs to shine. We are still on the hunt for our next longterm answer while being negative on the picks to do so. I see so many people clamoring for Bryce now that I feel like I live in an alternate dimension. We have seen enough. He is too small for this league. There is no way he is going to magically grow 6 inches, add more velocity into his throws, and get faster as he gets older. He was the wrong pick, he's a bust, it's OK to admit it.

The once stout defense is a shell of itself filled with journeymen that are all replaceable besides Horn and Brown. Although, I would absolutely be willing to take some picks for Horn, because again, who gives a poo? We aren't going to be winning for a good while.

The mindset here needs to switch from panic moves to who gives a poo. Winning anything at this point is more of a negative in the long run than the short term dopamine hit it will give you because none of these players will still be here when this eventually gets turned around.

Enjoy your weekends with your family, watch other teams, do ANYTHING other than be invested into this current dumpster fire. If you live in a state that allows gambling like I do, put a bunch of money on the running backs, quarterbacks, and moneyline of whoever is playing against us and at least make some cash off of this disaster. But stooooop complaining about not winning. You drank the koolaid leading into the season, fine, but this was written on the wall since last season ended.

I give a poo but the "we aren't far off" people aggravate me because sounds something like a Tepper would say. Everyone can have an opinion so my Apologizes to anyone that feels that way.

We need a stud homegrown QB there is no other way. Show me a team that is otherwise?

I don't think 5 years is the number. Maybe 5 years starting the clock in 2023. I mean we probably don't sniff .500 next year. That makes 4. Year 5 is two more drafts, and FA periods. As long as they don't blow it up again, I am seeing '27 as a possible head above water season.

That sounds about right to me. That means Canales is still here, Morgan starts getting some W’s in the draft… and the entire scouting department has been replaced by next year

I stopped caring shortly after Rhule was hired. It’s just not worth it. We’ve been looking for someone to replace Smitty, Gross, Kalil, Newton and how many others and we just can’t seem to do it. Tepper is a narcissist and will never step back fully and allow people to do what they know how to do. I don’t see this team ever being anything while Tepper is the owner.

Oh look it's a thread complaining about people complaining and complaining about people who don't feel like not giving a poo and still root for the team to win. Holy poo what word salad did I just read?

The complaining about the complaining has been way out of hand, now in year two.

I think this is the year we really confirm or deny his learning curve. If he overbears and doesn't stay back this year after all the last few years, he never will.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
