They’re gonna gut the roster before that happens. They need to trade CMC immediately. We’re 6 games in. There’s no way he’s making it the whole season. You’ve got to trade him.

Bottom line: Jimmy G comes out and balls out against us and wins in CLT…Rhule is finished. Rhule has said all along he wants )and has had) roster decision making final authority. There’s zero reason we couldn’t have acquired JG instead of Baker. He signed off on Baker. JG throwing dimes to Deebo while Baker gets balls batted down and CMC/DJ are misused in this garbage offense is the final nail.

Our issue is the same as it has been since Rhule got here. We don’t have a QB and unlike other top coaches, Rhule can’t gameplan and win without an elite QB. Hell…who knows if he can win WITH an elite QB. But the issue isn’t the DL, secondary, OL, RBs, WRs. These are all proven position groups at one point or another in their careers. The issue is the QB and HC. No proven track record at those spots. At this point Rhule has used up his bluffs and needs to be replaced. BUT…He won’t be replace during the season. What difference would that make? We’d be eliminated from the playoffs. We’d have a lame duck coach. Tepper would have to contend with the “did the lame duck do enough to keep the job” talk. Which NEVER works out. Then worst case scenario is even while we’re eliminated the lame duck coach figures out a way to win some games with the only reward being….losing draft status. I actually think the smartest play if we lose this week (and maybe no matter what) would be to trade CMC and get picks…almost ensuring we finish as one of the worst 3 teams in the league. Rhule will walk at the end of the year I’m almost positive. He’s getting to the point where he’s not even gonna get a good college job if he doesn’t leave soon. You can’t go 4-5 years with zero success and then land an elite job. He could still potentially get one at this point.

I don’t understand how 50% of our plays aren’t screen/handoff/direct snaps to DJ and CMC. Let’s say it increases our off efficiency and we have an additional 12 plays per game. That’s be about a 15-20% increase on our current plays per game. So you’re at 18 touches per player per game. That should be easily doable. Why’d we sign DJ if we’re not making him the focus of our gameplan. I get if you want to limit CMC. But getting the ball in DJs hands 15-20x per game should be a priority.

Everyone is pretty rough on Derrick Brown. What if it’s just that he’s literally the only player on D built to stop the run and he can’t do it alone?

Two rooks. Two foot injuries. How many other foot injuries are we not hearing about? I understand that the Corrall injury is traumatic in nature. But overuse throughout camps due to poor surface exposes guys to traumatic injuries. Is there an issue here?

Idt anyone is ever gonna be Rodgers. His arm and on the run accuracy are just freakish. I DO think Corral favors Russel Wilson coming out of college tho. He needs to bulk up (that’s the Rodgers comp imo)…but either way I think he’s gonna be really good and Idt there is any way Darnold is the starter to start the season. I think they lean on the D and running game and help acclimate the rookie similarly to what the Hawks did with RW.

The idea is that if you have a secondary ELITE enough to play a single high safety and not help your corners on the perimeter then you’re not going to give up points. It’s been this way forever in the NFL. It frees up rushers. Frees up LBs and the free safety to pursue RBs. Elite corners change the game. They always will.

This honestly just seems like a “too many cooks in the kitchen” type of scenario waiting to happen. Why do you need all of these people? Football has never had this much input and teams have been successful. I know these guys want to be “CEOs” but football isn’t THAT complicated.

Horn. Not close. DPOY candidate this year. If Corral is good enough and Horn, Burns live up to what everyone thinks they are….we could make some noise.

It worked out. We would have taken Corral with their 1st. Now we have Corral and CMC. If we had come away with no QB this year I’d be pissed. Guessing Beane wasn’t parting with multiple 1sts. If that was the offer then it’s hard for me to believe Fitt turned down the picks and potential cap savings.

I think some of it is relative. If you are in a situation to go to the super bowl then you can make the argument there is “good” dead cap (Saints, Packers etc). If you are just swinging and missing trying to put a team around a bad QB situation (Panthers) then that’s “bad” dead cap…..Which was Hurney’s M.O. But yeah I agree if we can get a starting QB on a rookie contract for 4-5 years we should be in a good situation for a while.

This is what happens when you have to pay players to make up for bad QB play. When you have a QB who can play and wins…you get better deals at every level. Have to cut players less often to try to upgrade. The fact that Fitterer has take us from 2nd to 13th in one season shows how much better he is than Hurney.

Texas isn’t getting a third team before London or Canada gets a team.

Carson Wentz scored a 40 and sucks Cam, Watson, Carr scored 20s and they were MVP candidates. Dan Marino, Terry Bradshaw, Jim Kelly, Steve McNair scored 15 and are in the HOF The wonderlic doesn’t mean poo.

Idk all of the facts. PFF did a story about it and basically said that personalities clashed. I’m sure it’s not all on Riley. Maybe Rattler wasn’t taking to being coached up on his mistakes. He had some ego stuff off the field. But they showed clips and stats for his arm strength, throwing on the run and at difficult angles and the throws he’s capable of making are Mahomes-ish. I wouldn’t be shocked at all if by the end of the 2023 pre draft process he moves up to QB2 behind Stroud. As far as physical capability he and Stroud are tier 1. Everyone else is second fiddle.

Baker did pretty well at OU.

TVD isn’t gonna be the best QB in his conference…

PFF basically said Rattler is the best QB in the class. His situation caused his stock to fall. Judging by how Riley is handling NIL etc I’m gonna go ahead and say if you’re a QB and get on the wrong side of him then you’re done. I think Leary and Rattler are incredibly underrated right now. But…it’d be nice to get JSN and not have to worry about QB bc Corral turns out to be a stud.

I mean maybe but Idt anyone really knows what we are right now. How are you gonna feel 5 games into the season though if we’re 3-2 and everyone is looking around saying…”if we could have held Fournette under 100 yards and pressured Brady we would have won that game.” Why take the risk and not sign a guy if he could be a difference maker when it’s gonna be a one year deal and we have the most cap space in the league?

It’s gonna be someone in house-ish. Someone with ties. If this was the Seahawks then I’d be worried. Not really the Steelers.

Arden Key was one of the best signings of last year. Key (pun intended) edge rusher for the niners and elevated their defense. He had three pressures in the win over Dallas in the playoffs. Not a stud. But could argue he’s the difference in games for a team that went from 6 wins to 10 wins and a playoff run. These signings matter.

Get ready for DJ and CMC to be used very similarly to Deebo. The piece we were missing to be able to utilize either player like that was a mobile tackle. Ekwonu is going to be used like Trent Williams and is going to be a complete game changer for this team. Corral is going to flourish bc of it. It’s about to be exciting in Charlotte. Get ready.

He had 9 sacks last year matching Brian Burns best year ever and some of y’all wanna give Burns the bag but not sign Clowney? When Clowney is a primary edge setting DE? Clowney imo is a MUST sign for this team right now. The only concern I would have with him is health. But IF he’s healthy. He could legit be the best complete DE on the roster. Period.

Offense: QB. Obvious. Defense: Run D on the edge.
