Ahead of schedule on the rebuild? Haven't we been rebuilding since 2020?

It's been 2019 when the complete teardown started.

I'd rather replace the QB before the coach at this point.

I'd rather replace the coach first. Then maybe we can bring someone in with enough spine to not bend to ownerships will and keep starting Bryce Young.

I want a coach who can fuging accept that he isn't anything more than a 2nd or 3rd string QB.

I would argue Morgan should be first since we can't fire Tepper.  Morgan then Evero then Canales or just do all three.  DO NOT PICK UP BRYCE'S FIFTH YEAR OPTION.

Yeah, I mean if you could put the Tepper's into a year long holiday food coma and get someone with some actual sense in that building making decisions, cleaning house and rebuilding in a manner befitting of an actual NFL franchise would be amazing.

But we all know firing any of these bums is just going to result in lateral moves or downgrades. Who the fug wants to work for David Tepper aside from stealing paychecks?

Wanting Canales out is an interesting opinion. Hard to look at this and think he hasn't done a good job. I do think he needs a really good offensive assistant he trusts. Someone that either specializes in managing games, or calling plays. I do think he has too much on his plate at times. He struggles sometimes with balancing both roles. 

This. He's building a team in the right way, he's managing the creation of a support system within it and has (and I didn't think he could) begun putting some grit and resilience into this band of players.

He, however, needs to be able to hand play calling over to someone and learn to manage the overall game more than each individual play. He needs to conduct, rather than try to conduct and play the solo.

And I think he has something hanging over his head that is crippling him at times... the Teppers reputation for cutting coaches for poor performance. It makes him play not to lose at times, especially against lesser opponents like Sunday. Maybe he needs to instill more grit in his own game.

You pick up Bryce's option because it has value beyond just the team in the next two seasons. If we decide to go ahead and draft some QB competition, or replace the Red Rifle finally with a new free agent with some experience, you have an upswing QB in Bryce that can be traded, especially if there's a team with an injury that happens.

And, let's be honest, right now Bryce is playing as well or better than the other 1st round QBs from his draft class. Scary, but true.

You can't lose your way into the playoffs and if you expect this team to sweep the Bucs, you are going to be disappointed.

ITS IS OVER.

It's not mathematically over but with so much evidence on the table I just don't believe in our ability to get it done in the last 3. The Bucs probably feel the same way, but I actually believe in their ability to show up when they absolutely have to, especially against us.
