Cowher To Carolina Talk Heating Up

old news and IMO, I wouldn't want Cowher. Took him 15 years to get a SB. IS that what you want or do you want someone that wers his emotions on his sleeve?

I really wish we could have brought Dom Capers back as DC and switched back to a 3-4 like we had with Kevin Greene and Lamar Lathon. Salt and Pepper!!!!

First post here, I agree I'd rather start fresh with someone other than Cowher, but I wouldn't be opposed to it as long as he doesn't start cleaning house and messing with the foundation. I don't agree with bringing back Capers though, as good as he is. We don't have the players for the 3-4 and it would've meant some serious wheeling and dealing on our part. Our line probably would've been Kemo at the nose with Brayton and Lewis as our ends, is this what we want? Davis would would have to be moved back to safety and his progression would be totally hindered. Beason would definitely be stunted IMO, I could see a Jonathan Vilma kind of transition when the Jets converted just without the injury. Good but nothing special.

so what if it took him 15 years to get to the superbowl, his team was competitive year in and year out, and rarely embarrassed. the players that's on the Mike Tomlins' roster was players he drafted, if he would've stayed in Pittsburg they would've gotten another one. Bill Cowher can actually make this team competitive. the team Mike Tomlin took to the superbowl was his team.

Cowher 10 playoffs in 15 years

Fox 3 playoffs in 7 years

now tell me he is overrated

    • Here's the thing. You compared him to Jake. Jake was signed to the practice squad out of college. Bryce was the number 1 overall. Their expectations are wildly different and so are their contracts. You can talk all you want about what a player is and where they are now and all this other mumbo jumbo, but Jake never had a 5th year option and we weren't talking about the possibility of a top 5 QB contract extension at the end of his 3rd year. What he was expected to be matters because we invested heavily at a cost of future capital, including a 2nd round pick this year, for him to be that guy. The cost to add Bryce took value from the team. To be worth it, he has to add that value back.  Actually, I don't prefer yards, TDs, or only INTs. All those stats by themselves are misleading which is why I said you have to use a lot of different stats. ADOT - Average depth of target.  Completion %. Pretty obvious until you factor in ADOT. 0-5 has a lot higher C% than 10-15%. Hang time. If a pass is in the air for 4.6 seconds vs 3.1 on a 40 yards throw, that gives a DB a lot of time to correct. Is it a loft or is it a laser.  EPA - Expected points added. A way of measuring QB efficiency on every play.  CPOE - ranking pass completions based on several factors, not just the throw.  There's obviously more, but those are the more common.  Typical stats don't show everything. You need to look all over. Looking at a stat line is lazy. That's why I said, you need to analyze everything. Once you start looking at the numbers you start looking at the player. That's why you follow numbers. They lead you places. You look at what happening when the numbers show you patterns. That's where you start finding the problems that yards, TDs and Ints won't show you.     
    • It's not relevant who wins or loses. It's about actually attempting to get better at the position.
    • Thank you. I don't understand how the Bryce stans don't see this. I've never seen a player get more hyped for doing so little. Honestly it's driving me a little insane.
