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

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
