    Did you not see that post saying its make or break for bryce? Look how y'all talked about TM like he was even decent lol I'm saying the roster is still trash 

    Tmj has had trash coaching since he entered the league. Let's see what all these guys, Bryce included do with hopefully competent coaching.  This is a make or break year for everyone not named Derrick Brown

    Well….ill take you back to the Rhule years where RAS was all there was 

    there are football players and there are test takers (physical and otherwise)

    …but you know what doesn’t lie, tape.

     

    Yeah time to get back to drafting football players. We need attitude on this team again and some personality we can get behind too. Teams been boring as hell since showing all the old guys the door

    We all know this is another receiver project to go along with Thomas, Tremble, TMJ & Mingo.

    We hope they all work out. None seem to be NFL ready.

    What if Canales is actually the guy to get them to live up to potential though?  Tmj had 23 tds his last 2 seasons at lsu and then has been coached by morons ever since.  Outside of Thomas I have faith that all of these guys could be really good.  Marshall specifically is in a contract year and may not get another one anywhere if he doesn't get a shot this year.  It wouldn't surprise me if he comes out of no where for a break out season with the right coaching

    What market are you working in that your looking at 3 months and 100+ showings and 10+ offers for a buyer?

     

    We just bought with one "showings" (our agent did the walk through and sent us videos) wrote a single offer and closed in 30 days

    In Charlotte in the lower price points it's still tough. 300 and under I'd say. Granted I haven't worked with a residential buyer other than 1 friend looking at expensive new builds in about a year so I could be out of touch but if rates Dip down again that would be a likely scenario

    As someone who is about to sell a home this is music to our ears.  The wife and I have done this enough to come to accept that as the seller we're paying someone working directly against our best interest but I've never liked it.

     

     

    We mused about how great it would be to simply pay our agent (on either side of the transaction) an hourly rate like we do our lawyer and accountant.

     

    I'd think that would be better for the agent as well as the clients who are hard to please and burn much of their time will actually pay for it where an easy client isn't giving up 10s of thousands of dollars for a single showing that leads to a simple sale.

     

    A first time homebuyer in a tough market can't afford to pay an agent by the hour for 3 months worth of work and 100+ showings 15 offers written up on lower end inventory.  Anyone that doesn't already own a home is being put at an even bigger disadvantage in my opinion.  Any non investor buyers I have now will be paying a retainer and will get it credited back if/when we secure them a home provided the home seller is willing to provide appropriate compensation.

    I agree with most of what you've posted, but I don't think things will return to a proper alignment again. The investors are too heavily invested in the housing market now for it to return to families buying homes.

    The only possible thing to be done to get investors to sell is to bring in rent control or have all hoas ban rental properties. If you want to keep them from buying you could put into effect a waiting period for investors on all properties so they're only available to residential buyers for a set period. These things aren't capitalistic but would make lives better for 95% of Americans but that 5% will never allow it.

    Just like @Jackie Lee’s example, both situations ended with success due to two (possibly three) things:

    1 - Great Drafts - We haven’t seen Houston’s second draft, but 2023 was like Seattle’s great couple drafts

    2 - Great rookie QBs

    3 - Because of 1 and 2, it’s a chicken and the egg scenario but there has to be some portion of solid coaching as well to mold that young roster. Hard to know how much credit because those drafts were fantastic and those teams went from mediocre talent to seriously talented right away.

    My stance is still that until we have some solid to great drafting, we won’t be a contender even in our crap division. We need to hit this year so we can see the sparks and also most importantly prove whether Bryce can be the guy or we have to move on.

    Agreed.  Seattle's 2010-2012 drafts were pretty fuging sick. Was shitterer there?  If so they probably did the opposite of what he thought was best.

  8. I remember when Pete Caroll went in to Seattle and completely flipped the whole roster in 1 offseason. Hopefully Dave can have a much success as his old boss

     

    In his first season, Carroll almost completely overturned the Seahawks roster, totaling over 200 transactions in the course of only one season.

    The way things are shaping up so far this off-season has me thinking we're finally doing things right. I really love what they're doing and I think we're going to make some noise this year.  Not quite dominant, but we're going to come in and fight. We may not win much, but I think when we're done each week the other teams are going to be feeling it for a while and will have to be spending time in ice baths.

    And right now those media people who are clowning us right now are micro-penis types who are looking for the easy high five from other micro-penis people.

    Why would anyone feel upset over the opinions of micro-penis people?

    Btw, not calling the doubters in here micro penis people. Just clowns like merriman. They should never be taken seriously.

    It seems like the gm and the coaches are on the same page for once and there is an actual plan and identity they want to build. Shitterer/tepper was all reactionary fly by the seat of your pants gming

    Injured but apparently Dean really likes him so he’ll get some run this year.

    I believe Agyemang, Bronico, Bender, and Cambridge are all nursing injuries and Diani is having visa issues.

    Hope bender doesn't see the field unless he can get some boots that aren't made out or cement

    It’s still amazing to me how many people in here couldn’t see how ridiculously good that offer was when you added the three picks plus the ability to sign two $15M a year FAs for Burns. At least those of us who understood the full value have been exonerated but it still sucks because being right meant our idiot GM was proven wrong yet again.

    Or we could have afforded to keep cmc and Moore.  Burns would have had essentially 0 dead cap hit. We paid the best running back in football 30 million dollars to not play for us anymore. That trade was unbelievably stupid looking back at it. The value was just ok and we still had to eat all that money so we couldn't use it on other players. Even if we didn't completely poo the bed on the picks it was still dumb as hell
