Per J.Person. "They where playing well before injuries". Take it for what it's worth. I thought Chandler had a chance to improve after camp but he hasn't and Bell is Bell. Maybe he should ask Cam about how well they have been playing.

I don't get you guys. We have no backup tackles and can't afford to get a good one. Do you expect him to keep shitting on them in pressers? What is that going to achieve? It will do nothing but break the teams morale. You put a brave face on it and when you have options you move on.

Wow. I don't know what to say. All I know is that as a manager, if I don't bold my team accountable, at some point I will be held accountable. I hope that holds true in this case as well.

You don't fire a staff member without an adequate replacement. That's bad management. Also you don't continually deride an employee for bad performance. None of us would enjoy working for a boss who is telling us everyday we suck.

These isn"t pee wee league football. Grown men making mega bucks that should be held accountable. At least don't BS and try to hide the obvious and say they are playing well....how about maybe "room for improvememt?

This isn't some office job. Even these UDFA's are paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to play this game. The "he's a nice guy though" reasoning for keeping clearly underperforming players around is a big part of why we've never had back to back winning seasons before.

"KB needed to make that catch" - everyone flips out about calling him out.

"Bell and Chandler are being hampered by injuries and we have no back ups" - unacceptable to stand up for them.

 

Ron can only do so much with what he has... Dave can only get so many players at a time... Players can only be so good... Coaches can only teach so much. We are what we are.

Someone mentioned lining the TEs up in the backfield on obvious pass situations. What about Chandler? He is supposed to be super athletic for his size and obviously isn't a stranger to position changes. Why not line him up back there for pass protection or even as a normal fullback? Other than screens we aren't using the backs a safety valves anyways.

      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.
