and is not focused on our win loss record next year . From watching the our cuts and the draft I see GMAN as trying to put us in a financial/talent place in the future to build a team that can compete for the SB.

 

I was under the illusion in the off season that we would be trying to improve our winning record and path to the superbowl next year but it is clear that GMAN's is looking further in the future and realizes our best chance for a Superbowl run is in the future not next year. After much thought I agree with his approach.This draft proves that.

 

Is his approach right or wrong depends your expectations.......some want it right now and some want a sure thing later.

First thing we improved on was releasing our WR corp,  that was one of the worst units in the NFL.

 

 

 

Tackle,  we'll see what happens.   Guard has been upgraded just with the guys healing up and getting back on the field,  from IR. 

 

 

Defense has been bolstered.

At some points last year.  didn't we have like 6 rookies playing at the same time on defense?  Still,  we had the #2 defense...  those rookies are a year older with more experience now.

 

 

Stewart may actually play in more than 2 or 3 games this season...  which will be a huge upgrade to our offense,  within itself.

Just a value based draft. Don't read into it too much

Well if you factor in our off season cuts it should be clear we want to be competitive but not expecting to win a SB next year

Not rebuilding year at all. We'll definitely (even with an injury or two --unless its Luke ) have a top 5 defense, possibly best. AND we have a franchise QB, 1st round WR, #2 WR in Cotch, #3 in Avant, Greg Olsen, 3 great RBs when healthy, finally a solid starter at RG. Regardless of tackle (which we could still get Hurst or Richardson as UDFA) we should have a formidable offense.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
