  1. Burns absolutely should have been traded for 2 1st and a 2nd. If you don't have the crew to pick up at least 2 very good players with those 3 picks then keeping Burns isn't going to matter either way. He isn't wrong but I think Moore for just a 1st is too little vs his value and decent contract. Jackson is the DJ I wish we could ship off for a 2nd and 4th/5th. Plenty of solid CB talent coming out and he isn't worth his contract.
  2. Honestly I didn't think Rhule had many positives after they traded for Sam onwards so everything this year was just waiting for the inevitable to me. New coaches, Baker or better Oline I was pretty vocal about not having any belief he wouldn't face plant because that is all he has done and his actual football skills only apply to the college level, last year proved that. Even if he improved some this year it wouldn't be enough unless he did a 180 at lightspeed lol. Easier to win the loto tonight then for me to believe that after his constant idiocy and incompetence on so many levels. I can completely respect a fan to be excited and hopeful but not blind and unrealistic. Some of they hype coming into this season was just embarrassing. We could have had Daboll but we are going to have a really high pick in a better draft after snagging a legit LT so it's not all bad IMO.
  3. Lol that is what I have been doing since we brought back Rhule in January. Just another month, at least it is more fun now. Allowing yourself to get hyped in our situation is just asking to get your feelings hurt for no good reason.
  4. He may not be first in line on blame for those but unless he was screaming 'NO' then he was probably part of the problem. Just those 2 moves will is enough to fire a HC and/or GM. When they got Ryan I knew it was going to end poorly over there. And after Wentz like they learned nothing.
  5. Just appears to be a once good HC that got old and stagnant by NFL standards. I wouldn't discount this as Ballard's time to prove he should stay after the moves they have made recently.
  6. No but 2 future 1sts and a 2nd is good enough for most players. I was just saying that usually the offseason trades are for less than in-season trades because there are more options on the table for any team. We may get a 1st and a future 2nd but I doubt we see 2 first for him let alone the total 3 pick package. He is a good player but he isn't nearly that good. Sounds like the Eagles were going hard for a SB this year. JR was pretty conservative. The Gilbert trade was for 2 1st and I think that made him even more conservative. I always want to be a seller and not a buyer in those deals. If you don't have good enough people to find a replacement with those kinds of picks then you have a lot larger issues than losing 1 player. Maybe not QB but not always.
  7. The 2nd was a game changer and was no brainer territory. I doubt we see a deal like that in the offseason for him unfortunately.
  8. Third one is not the hardest one by far. And Tepper could keep digging easily. Just enjoy life and save hope for when it's worth burning.
  9. Of course it was Tepper pushing it because that is the kind of stupidity you expect of a new owner but he is the professional that needs to speak up and be the voice of reason. You can disagree with most people in a constructive way and if you can't then you need to move along for your own good. I have heard zip about any of that from him in all of those mistakes and they did hire him to do Rhule's bidding so the shoe fits from a distance. By all accounts he sounds like a yes man and Hurney proved why those guys can stick around like cancer doing a substandard job. If anything comes up, and it well could, then I will eat those words but he appears without any evidence against it yet as a yes man from the stands.
  10. Traded for Sam like a bafoon and was going hard for Watson. Has yes man written all over him. He has to prove a hell of a lot more positives before I can belive in him in any kind of positive way.
  11. Ickey has been everything I could hope for. I'm really happy we went withthe guy who is a beast in the run game and has the ability to improve his pass protection to an elite level. Watching him grow has been fun this year. All the noise at the begining of the year is really funny now.
  12. The idea of a new HC coming in and doing a mega deal year 1 out of the gate is worst case scenario. Maybe year 2 if they have a good to great learning curve but never year 1. After the Watson swing I don't want to see anyone in house on the buying end of a mega deal anytime soon. A new and competent offensive minded HC could be competing and winning by the end of the first year with a vet or a rookie, with some luck thrown in. I don't think amyone here now fits the minimum of that so it will hopefully be new faces. Just draft a QB, find a vet if it's not on of the top 2 guys and do it again in 2024 if it's not good enough and until we find a long term QB option. This year is all about telling us what we need to do better next year. Staff, personel and dumb direction that got us in this damn mess.
  13. We could be without both Wilks and Shaq next year, nothing guaranteed but it is a solid chance both are gone next year. This sounds like normal stuff and better than we had but it hardly changes the big picture situation for us. Wilks is doing a good job as an interim HC and this year is back to NFL quality football vs the Rhule clownshow. That is great for now but not nearly enough for next year IMO. I'm way over the Rivera school of football. Just get a good DC and get the same benefits without the huge negatives we operated under during the 'good old days' because Rhule was such a reduculously inept clown that we run back to the not good enough safe space a lot of us wanted the hell out of before Ron was fired.
  14. I thought he did but the more I looked into it he just cleaned it up. That was my mistake. Darnold was sacrificed up in NJ, we just finished him off sadly. He can't read the field and at this point it isn't likely to change since he is doing exactly what he did in school 6 years ago. Darnold was always going to bust for that fact in the NFL and even playing for really bad teams doesn't change that.
  15. Link It was worse than you remember. Allen was a tweak, a big one but more of a tweak. Link
  16. Allen and Mahomes say hello. I think it's a safe rule to follow but the 2 best QBs in the NFL says there is a chance.
  17. Starters needed: DE, DT, LBer (need to see scheme but MLB is likely), TE and last but never least a QB. Could upgrade if big improvements are not made by the end of the year/resigned: C, OGs, WR and CB.
  18. I love being the seller in these kind of deals. I would be pissed if we traded for an injury prone but great RB with those picks. Seems like a desperation move with Lance busting. obviously someone's job is tied to that trade and they are still trying to build it up. Whew, that is looking like a long shot at this point. An importsnt lesson for us this offseason.
  19. Or someone has at least as much dirt on him as he has on everyone else... No way he walks away from a cash cow unless he is forced out, publicly or privately.
  20. The fact Rhule wanted total control with almost nonexistent NFL experience tells you how bad that hire was and why I think someone who has worked under meaningful coaches in the NFL will have a solid chance moving forward. Wilks has the Rivera tree of experience and it shows. I think he might be an improvement by this point but it still feels way too much like Rivera for me to be excited about years more of that. Wilks showed what you don't take less than in a new HC. Stay away from the unstable guys who don't love the game and are selling BS and look for the regular hiring red flags. His time in Arizona was not great so you could flip it and say that because the other coaches haven't made HC yet they may be the better option because they are not an unknow vs that. I know Wilks can run a D but how the hell is he going to keep a good to great OC around?
  21. McDaniels is already failing in NV lol so that takes care of the NFL Rhule as a HC. Doresy gives me those unstable vibes but their are other OCs out there. Hiring Wilks and being 7-9ish in wins in year 2 would be failing IMO. Next year isn't about Rhule or comparing to Rhule. It is really can you find a better HC than Wilks and the answer is yes as Daboll with the Giants is proving. Another OC that has a stud of a DC because no one with a brain wants to hire a defensive guy in this NFL. McD is the last one I can remember and he was propped up by Daboll and Dorsey is a noticeable step back from him. Tepper can afford to miss, just not the epic fail that is Rhule. I just don't want to sit through another conservative defensive HC, especially not one with Wilks coaching connections on that side of the ball.
  22. Burn's isn't even a top DE or Edge guy. It is mostly about promise and ability still in his 4th year. Or is he? I went to look at any NFL rankings for that group and PFF (yes it's inaccurate) won't show but the top 3 in order. Can anyone with a PFF subscription pull Burns ranking from their site? nfl/grades/position/ed Just curious where he generally ranks.
