Some good names so far. Bobby Slowick is still my favorite.

If the Raiders don't hire Antonio Pierce and go with Jim Harbaugh it'll be a huge black eye for the NFL.

If Dan Morgan wasn't a former player how many here would be calling for Fitterer's assistant GM to get the job?

You can't blame Fitterer without Morgan getting some of that blame as well. It's like the people who wanted to give Fitterer a pass for the decisions made when Matt Rhule was here.

Was he the final say? No. But he was damn sure part of the discussions that lead to those mistakes.

If I was within earshot of David Tepper at BOA trust and believe I'd find myself banned from the stadium in short order. I'd keep it clean for the kids but hard truths would get dropped until he had me removed.

I think we can all second that.

Burns shouldn't be our #1 priority at this point. We have much bigger fish to fry.

We're talking about David Tepper and a bunch of (likely) drunk Jaguar fans. There's honestly no telling what was said before the drink was thrown.

This is a complete rebuild, anything is on table. Saying “you dont give up on #1 pick after one season” is meaningless now. 

If we had the #1 pick this year it wouldn't be completely off the table because we'd presumably have viable other options. But we don't even have a 1st rounder, so we have little choice but to try to turn it around with Bryce and hope a new coaching staff helps.

Compared to what? All 32 of these jobs are desirable on some level. It's all about what their other options are at the time.

One of if not the worst gm of all time.  Mrscott weeps

The talent exodus under him without anything even remotely comparable being brought in has to make him one of the worst GMs of the 21st century at least.

With our OL the answer might literally be yes.

We'll see. I'm definitely not as optimistic as I was before the season but it's just so hard to even tell what's on Bryce and what's on the awful team around him.

I really want Bobby Slowick as HC. Prefer him to Ben Johnson.

Leaf and Tepper together 

I could only imagine.

Dear lord. That's hard to fathom 

Sign ALL the OL.

Nobody here hates Tepper because he's rich. Being as rich as he is should be an asset as an NFL owner.

This franchise has been a disaster ever since he took over. One bad decision after another. There really is no defending it.

That said, we are unfortunately stuck with him so we can only hope he does what Jed York and Stephen Ross have done and eventually stumbles onto a good HC/GM combo that can bring us some success, and maybe learn from his mistakes in the process.

We'll see...

Realistically Brown is the only player that really deserves a Pro Bowl nod.

This is pretty much the nightmare scenario, IMO.

Tepper isn't going anywhere, unfortunately.

No way in hell Ickey deserves a grade that high. Jesus.

The OL has to be priority #1, hands down.

Regardless, punish the hell out of him NFL and force him to sell the team.

Be careful what you wish for. It's far more likely that the league takes away a draft pick from the team than forcing him to sell.

My top-5:

1. Bobby Slowik

2. Ben Johnson

3. Ejiro Evero

4. Shane Waldron

5. Frank Smith

Sometimes I think the whole "leader of men" thing is B.S.

I mean, just look at Mike McDaniel in Miami. You're telling me he's a leader of men? No. But he's an offensive genius who has his team playing as well as anyone in the league.

How about Kyle Shanahan? Does he really strike anyone as a leader of men? That's one of the reasons Matt Rhule was supposed to be such a great coach. He ended up being a glorified gym teacher.

I'm not saying that approach can't work with the right guy, but it's by no means a requirement in today's NFL.
