I think there is enough to show the team sort of accepted they were moving on.....but then the unpredictable just happened. 

Morgan basically saying the only thing he can say at this point. 

but yeah, I think they stumbled upon the Bryce redemption more than anything.  If Dalton played okay and stayed healthy...Bryce might of got a token game at the end (which is what you generally see around the league). 

I'm definitely not buying were are suddenly a smart and well run team.  Part of 1 seasons is going to sale me on that when you got so much backing the opposite under Tepper.  Including different windows where we falsely assumed we were no longer a poorly run org.  

Fake it until you make it.

I think that's debatable if that was really the plan going into this year.  I mean, they benched him a mere 2 games into the season.  That doesn't scream they were really trying to invest a lot of time into figuring it out with him.  Injury brought him back to the table.  And I think we choose to remember the past a little different.  I mean, if you go back in time all the tea leaf reading around here was Canales was done with him and never really wanted him. 

as far as Canales at the podium? Saying of course we were going to try to get another look at him.  If Dalton played well and stayed healthy? I think reasonably that might of meant to give him a game or so at the end.  

I mean, I just refuse to believe we are now smartly run because they sort stumbled into a Young redemption at the end of the season.  I think the team had moved on until Andy's injury re-opened the door. 

From what we know of all his endeavors, nothing about Tepper entities says they are well run.  I'm not falling for that because of a couple weeks of football.  I mean we were finally a big boy and smart run team heading into the Frank Reich era too lol. 

 

I agree with your viewpoint. I don't think they would have given him much of a chance this year. The plan was likely to let him sit a year and get him going next season. This team is known for lucking into the right decisions. Luke was an outside LB until Beason was injured. Almost trading a 1st for Clausen would have cost us Cam. Josh Norman finally getting on the field just in time in 2015. Etc.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      How about just don't draft project players in the first round? How about especially when you have arguably the worst roster in the NFL(we did all those years in question)? You don't even have to dig into those player debates specifically. Just don't grasp at straws early in the draft.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      By AU-panther · Posted

      I think there were 9, and since I haven't took time to watch each of them on each play individually Its impossible for me to say, which I doubt you have either.   It's not a stat driven grading system; it's a per play grading system.  Tommy Tremble making a great block to spring Rico for that 10-yard run might actually score higher on that play then Ricos run. The actual run might not be anything special; it might be a run that pretty much every back in the league would have made. Here again, I would guess, if you look at every RB in the league, he is towards the top in rushing grade for the year which is what most of us are seeing.  Whether you call that a 90/80/70, 50/40/30, A/B/C, Gold/Green/Red star, it doesn't really matter it's how he ranks relative to everybody else at his position.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By strato · Posted

      Well I will never knock a strong arm, in a vacuum, but it is a lot more than that to it.  Did we kill our roster building and our defense in particular to stick PJ out there?  No. We knew we sucked and he was really just a temporary thing too.  While with Bryce I see the up and down, mostly down, roller coaster on loop now in year three. It has been a Looooong time.    Back to strong arms, it is like having a powerful motor in a car. All the power in the world isn’t going to overcome a bad driver.   But at the same time, even a decent drive with a killer car will beat the best driver if you put him in a go kart   Exaggerating for effect, I know Bryce is not a go kart. Maybe closer to a 6 cylinder with not much displacement…..
