The future of the Team?

Why does everyone think that if Fox was fired Cowher would come in and blow this team up? We are actually pretty well off at some key positions.

Our O-line is fine and will be together for a while with young players at Center(Kalil), LG(Wharton), RT(Otah), and not to mention an All-Pro LT(Gross).

Same goes with out RB's as DWill, and Stewart are both young and amazing.

The key overhaul would have to come at the Quarterback position, and WR's. I know Smith is amazing, but i think if we could add value to our club with a young QB in the first round by trading Smith it might be something our club needs for the future. Face it, we aren't winning the Super Bowl in the next 2-3 years. Smith will be 33 by than and will have surely lost a step, its the nature of the game. Moose will be long gone...and Jarrett and Moore arent likely to be kept around unless Jarrett actually catches something this year. We can get a young QB and build a young WR core around him, maybe grab a veteran somewhere along the line, but we dont need someone as good as Smitty, we are a Smash Mouth team...

Offensively thats were we stand. Defensively it's the D-Line that needs an overhaul. Everett Brown will start replacing Peppers who must either be traded or let go. Our DT's are either unheard of, or are old. How did we go from such a dominating D-Line to the poo we are putting on the field right now! Tyler Brayton, Damione Lewis used to be Rucker and Jenkins! This has to change. 3 out of the 4 positions on our D-Line are well below average right now and the one bright spot will be gone and replaced with a guy we traded a first rounder for so well see how he pans out..

Linebacker is young and dominant. Beason, and Thomas Davis are gonna keep our Defense competative in the meantime, while we have to find a Diggs replacement sooner or later but this is our defensive strength much like our RB's on offense. With Conner in the wings, maybe a 3-4 wouldnt be so bad? Would it effect Beason that much? COuld Thomas Davis be our Demarcus Ware attacking QB's off the corner? Could Peppers even be better suited as a 3-4 LB, wonder what would happen there...It def. wouldnt be good for Everette Brown thats for sure...That would be a wasted pick in that scenerio.

Our Secondary sucks...I dont wanna make this post too long, but seriously Gamble is average, Harris can lay wood but is average in coverage, Marshal has a year to show me he can be our shut down corner, and Godfrey is mediocre at best, but we are young back there so its yet to be seen. Sherod MArtin wont even be on the team next year, he sucks..

I hope we are better than what we showed Sunday, cause right now the Raider looks better than us..Ouch that hurt to write..

      In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

      It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.

      CBS Sports brief discussion about questionable Canales decision making

      Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
