I would say it has been worse. Maybe they've bottomed out and they have learned some things. 

I mean, we are dramatically worse than that time period. There is a chance the FO has improved(not convinced) but there will never be a moment that David Tepper will ever be a better owner than Jerry Richardson. Tepper needs to set his sights smaller and try not to be worse than Woody Johnson or Dan Snyder.

Tepper needs to stay out of the decision making process until the wheels fall off. As long as there is noticeable improvement then he has no need for intervention. Even then he needs to talk to Morgan to find out what's going on. No Monday morning meetings with the coach.

I think if there was one team to want to play, it would be the Seahawks and you hope Darnold playing on the road in a big game looks like the Darnold of old in those situations.  

We'll be seeing them, playoffs or not, in about two and a half weeks.

That fact that he had a bad game wasn't the issue. Coming off Tommy John and imploding is why he shouldn't have been extended.

Not to mention John Fox's dumbass refusal to adjust his scheme and put Chris Gamble on Larry Fitzgerald.

My memory is telling me that was all on Richardson.  He loved Jake and wanted to reward him.  Or something to that effect

Richardson liked to reward players for past performance, even if they were fading.

Smart teams pat for what they're going to do, not what they already did.

Evero is a lot like fox. He keeps hi best CB on the strong side of the offensive alignment. The defense is setup for Jackson to play the weak side and Scott to play deep. Defensive coordinators can be a rigid bunch.

Evero is in the same area as Bryce for me right now. Not a fan, but expect him to be retained.

Difference with Evero though is some team could give him a head coaching job. And who knows? Maybe his coaching skill set will be well suited to such a role.

49ers at home. Panthers would win. Rigged garbage on MNF pissed me off, the NFL pulls that sh*t again in the playoffs I’m out for good. 

This is the match up I want and I want Nick Scott to blow Jennings the fug up, don't care if he gets ejected

Well it was on JR but not for that reason. 
In 2009 JR fuged the cap to tag Peppers trying to force him to stay, or keep him from leaving. However you want to put it. 
 

That is the year Jake got that extension. That was totally connected IMO. Moving money. And you always reward the guy who will redo his deal, or traditionally that is a part of it. 
 

And why Peppers wanted to leave, well that could have been on JR too. I think this was after JR publicly called him out wanting him to be a leader. It didn’t go over well with Pep. 
That’s how I remember it anyway. Maybe there was more to the why of him wanting to go. It wasn’t money though.

True.  That season, you could tell Tommy Jone got him.  And Lady Luck sort interfered earlier in that season because the AZ game could have happened before it did and people excused it because the big turnover game didn’t actually happen even though it could have.  

AZ was Tommy Jone grabbing and shaking us so that no one could explain it away and we still didn’t listen.  
 

 

Should have put Moore in the moment Delhomme started imploding against ARZ.

REAL dream scenario:

Beat the Saints

Beat the Bucs with Baker Mayfield. He hurts his shoulder again last play of game.

Beat the Hawks with Sam Darnold.

Beat the Bucs with Teddy Bridgewater.

Get the #1 Seed (still technically possible)

Beat the Lions with Kyle Allen (Jared Goff injured during practice)

NFC Championship - Beat the Bears with Caleb Williams

Super Bowl - Beat the Texans with CJ Stroud

Bryce Young is the MVP and has exercised all of his demons and proved he is the true franchise.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
