If we’re talking very early blunders I would say telling Ron he wanted a 3-4 defense. Seems that started the ball rolling backwards.

Tepper basically took a team that went to two super bowls in 13 years and said “yeah no, that run-first, vertical passing, 4-3 defense stuff is bad. Go to a 3-4 and a dunk and dunk scheme”.

 

it hasn’t worked

There has been so many but in order IMO

 

 

2- Not taking Justin Fields when we had the chance. Not only did we trade for Darnold before the draft. We could have just sat where we were taken Fields. Let him develop under Teddy for a year and see what we had. We save the picks from the Darnold deal but more importantly....THERE would have been no need to trade up for Bryce OR trade away CMC as we still would have been giving Fields his fair shot. Further if Fields had sucked here last year we would have ended up with Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels or Drake Maye

 

 

 

Not using the 8th overall pick for a backup caliber QB is one of the few things that this organization has done right in the last 6 years.

Cam Newton for the last year of his contract. This is truly when our downward spiral / constant moving towards a new QB started. If we keep Cam that year we likely suck very badly as it is Rhule's first year and Cam would be hurt and we likely end up with Trevor Lawrence 

This. Releasing Cam and signing Teddy was the dumb part of it. Releasing Cam, sure, fine, his shoulder was busted as sad as it was to see. If you were going to release Cam, It would have been an obvious tank but just play Kyle Allen at QB that year and you setup to draft Lawrence. Signing Teddy and trying to win was the blunder.

Keeping Marty was the biggest blunder. Everything that has followed comes from that one mistake.

You could argue that firing Marty was the biggest blunder.  You think mediocre is bad.  It can always get much much worse and it has.

Getting rid of Cam with no succession plan. 
 

And immediately after that every single offensive coordinator you hire it’s their first time on the job. Then fans sit and wonder why no QB can be successful. 

Neither of those things you said are accurate.  They signed teddy before getting rid of Cam. It was a dumb plan but it was one. And ole Rockstar goober from the giants had been an oc before.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
