I hear ya & I understand that part. I just have seen too many times how he acts & defends every move made by SK. He says "We" as in the decisions made by SK. I will be totally shocked if SK is fired this offseason. If we suck next season? Then yeah, I think he would probably be fired at that point. That's my opinion.
Of course he is going to make statements supporting his current employee. Doesn't mean he will remain loyal to him if SK is doing a poor job. One thing to keep in mind is that we don't see what happens behind the scenes and just what moves were SK's ideas and what SK may have been out voted on. Not trying to make excuses for him, but it is quite possible that SK had some ideas that were overruled or out voted that would have been good moves for us and MB realizes that. Of course I can't be sure of that, but I also can't be sure that it isn't that way either.
I hate how accurate this probably is.
Sorry bub but if you think there is 1 single GM in the league who would rather have Jameis than Kyler, you need to put the pipe down.
It’s a weird assumption to think Stanton would play 16 games considering he got hurt every time we had to turn to him.
You are correct, doesn't mean he will stay loyal. However, by watching the videos of MB & SK together & in the draft/war room together, he seems very much behind what SK says. Yes, we have no idea what coaches & players SK wanted that differed from MB. If KK & KM were both the coach & player SK wanted, then MB must have been ok with it, he signed off on both & sung their praises during both introductory press conferences. During the draft & post draft. If they were both more SK decisions than MB, he will give him at least next season to add more players to see if those decisions were right or not. We have no way of knowing who chose who like you said. We're just fans guessing on it.
I am struggling to find these comments. Essentially every one of his "believers" has been talking throughout the season that Kyler clearly has things to improve upon and thus has plenty more that he needs to prove.
This thread has comments like "K1 >>>>>>> Jameis" and "Kliff + Kyler > Bruce + Jameis."
I don't know that this is wrong. I do agree that Kliff/Murray do not have any sort of resume to be elevating them over proven NFL coaches and QBs. Do I think Murray has a chance to be better than Jameis? Yes. Do I think he is better right now...probably not. Do I prefer Murray on a rookie deal to Jameis getting 25mil+ on a new contract...yes I do. Also, Arians is reinforcing the argument that he is a pretty special coach.
I understand conceptually saying "well I don't want to spend $25 mil," but that isn't really what those posters are saying. K1 has potential, and K2 is garbage until proven otherwise. Make all the excuses in the world for him, the fact of the matter is that he hasn't won anything at any level, and hoping he will is nothing but blind hope.
A little Friday morning hyperbole for you, but the guy didn't win in college, and isn't winning now. He has no say over his own defense, and constantly makes poor calls.
What were Jameis’ rushing stats?
Jameis had over 200 yards rushing and Kyler has more. Jameis did not have issues with suspension or the law until after his rookie season, which is all I'm comparing. Undoubtedly, Kyler has a ton of potential. But he could just as easily never fully reach it. Like I said before, I'm sure there were a ton of Bucs fans who thought Jameis was going to be the future of their franchise after that first season, and now they're sitting there debating whether or not to keep him. That's why I find it ridiculous to anoint Kyler as better than anyone with similar stats.
