It's Clear--Complete Rebuild Around Cam, Luke, & Olsen

I don't typically host negative threads but I've gotta get this out there.   It's year 5/6 with Cam & Luke running the ship.  By now-a fine tuned well oiled machine should have been made but hot damn, there is structural damage, not just some dents.  It seems the whole engine that propelled the SB run blew up.  It's just not the same team and we need something to ignite it.  

*It isn't a dumpster fire or completely falling apart but there is a clear signal to change before those happen. Note-in a weird turn of events, at the same time of feeling this, I think that our current organization has the ability to turn this year around.  This is without even making the changes I'll propose but the problem is that we've yet again, come to this juncture.  I'm not saying, do this right now, because it's just not feasible but the time has come to recalibrate how the team is built and our strategies on both sides of the ball.  

Primary Objectives:

Fire the coaching staff.  Seriously, get them out.  Acquire a top pass rusher. Acquire a top safety.  

Safe: Cam, Luke, Olsen, Turner (That's it IMHO).  We have a case where there's too many that need to go to the point where you have to consider all of the expendables.      

Why?

I think we all know why at this juncture.  

I've loved what Ron has been able to do but I'm seeing coaching fatigue and the same problems we had year one with him and to top it off, just bad execution, staff evaluation, and there's no discipline with the team this year.  I'm not giving the guy another break.   This is like the 3rd season where's this has happened.  He should be beyond certain things he's falling back into.  

Player wise--the old guys that many disliked signing were key in my opinion.  Tillman, Harper, etc.  They were older and had hiccups but there's no issue with fundamentals.   We are throwing guys out there that shouldn't be without vets there to show them what's up.  Experienced WRs are having a field day with us.  

Why are you posting?

In a nutshell, I don't think it could be much worse for the foundational players than it is now anyways so it makes for the perfect time to blow it up and rebuild around them for the long haul/second leg of their tenure.  Many players in the NFL with the rare exception of a Brady/Bill B combo go through this.  

Re-establish how we are built (which should be from the lines out) and get new blood in town.

Serviceable Interim Option

Steve Wilks babay.  Many know he is the in-practice general for us and I think he's a completely viable guy to have as an interim HC who can win.  

Promote Ricky Proehl to OC.  Not Dorsey.  IMG is fool's gold and it's full of underperforming former players trying to teach.  

Happy times ;)  Flame away.  I've made it to this point; I just really don't like this coaching staff.

I've already been sitting through over half a decade of rebuilding with Cam and Luke. 

Thanks for the kind words.  I'm speaking both staff and personnel...and we've had the same HC since day 1 with Cam.

no way dude. we're close, we just need a tune-up. this whole thing can be fixed in an offseason.

I agree.  Just sucks that it wasn't fixed last offseason. I don't understand how a team that has its deficiencies put under a microscope during that poo super bowl does nothing to address them

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
