I mean, after Jake Delhomme imploded versus AZ…..we gave him a big contract extension 

 

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

Yeah, minus the fact that this owner and FO are significantly worse, I guess??

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.

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.

fingers crossed that all the public signals we've seen suggest he truly is on the sidelines

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.
