bowles has been a horrible coach should have never been hired to begin with

And yet he ran a competent offenses and won the NFCS the last 3 years. No i think the same about him, he is pretty bad overall but he did better in Tampa than I thought he could.

If he is actually injured I don't expect the NFL to do anything about it either way. If it were us we'd probably already have been docked draft picks.

I didn't think Bowles should have been hired a second time. I thought Arians was largely overrated too. I think the Bucs have been getting by on the talent of that roster and the job their general manager has done. Arians and Bowles each have a ring solely thanks to Tom Brady.

Unless he pulls a Crosby then I doubt it too. Just sounds like a floundering HC doing his thing but there could always be more going on behind the curtains. 

Bowls absolutely was a bad hire but he did decently for a guy I thought was going to look more like Moris then what he has done. Pretty decent for a highly flawed HC. I'm still a little surprised he didn't implode it all in his first or second year. Been painful to watch him win. Pretty clear litmus test for what's going on in Pantherland.

he did do well but with the roster he inherrited i felt like he underperformed could be wrong though they could fire him and perform worse

Arians and Brady left him the keys to a spaceship and he can barely win the division each year. Had he been the HC of the Titans or Giants he wouldn’t have lasted this long.

    • I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.  
    • Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.  
    • The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
