Well I just have to say that with it looking like a new regime is on the way things may turn upward. We see what a difference a new coach can make (Ryan). I know its only week 3 but you can def see the swag in that defense

I was just contiplating that if we don't resign Peps that we can have some money to throw around. I think we could upgrade and afford Seymour, and Merriman(if he doesn't start blowing poo up) on defense. Merriman should be good by year two from the surgery and Seymour has proven to be a beast from a 3-4 (8sacks last year) and 4-3(numerous qb pressures and 2 sacks for oakland). If somehow Tony Pike was to be at the top of round 2 then that should be our pick no matter if we do get a guy like Mcnabb or Cambell next year. Qb depth is a good problem to have! I know I am rambling but with the way things may be headed I am looking for clearer skys. I am prepared to sink with the ship if need be but I be damn if I will stand pat next year if some things don't get fixed. Like I've said before we need a identity and Fox is a good coach but this team has yet to bill the smash your mouth team consistently. BRING ON COWHER! P.S. I am drinking but what the hell!

my problem is, Fox's philosophy is to reduce the blitz and let the front 4 get pressure. It case he hasn't realized it, that is outdated. All the successful Defenses bring pressure. THis is one reason why i believe he needs to go. He needs to catch up. No one cares about the prevent and cover 2 defense. Good defenses bring the pain.

Oh my word, where to start? First no way Merriman is going anywhere. Come on he is probably the best rush OLB in the league. The raiders just gave up a 1st round pick for Seymour do you really think the wont franchise him? Mcnabb isn't going anywhere he is probably the 4th best QB in the league (behind P. Manning, Brady, Brees).

Cambell is a real possibility as he will most likely be available and like others have said I think he is much better then he has performed in all those different schemes.

I like Cowher but this team needs a new mind to get this D back on track. I like the Steelers LB coach Butler. He is considered by most to be the Heir apparent to Lebuea. Look how good that LB corps. He turned a undrafted rookie in Harrision into one of the best LB in the league. The steelers are consistently in the top 5 or 10 in the league every year.

IMHO Cowher had his sucess mainly because of his great D's which I think were more as a result of the genius he had as a D Coordinator. I think Butler can do what Lebuea as he has been with him for 7 years, maybe bring his own twist on it. In a perfect world Del Rio will be fired after this season and he can be brought in as DC and assistant HC to ease Butlers transition to HC.

Merriman has more sacks, Davis has more tackles. the only reason he has more is because of San Diego's defensive scheme. and i do believe that Davis is just as good if not better than him. We don't need any Lbs.

Merriman is one of those Athletic Freaks that doesn't come around often. He has those sacks because he is a rush olb in a 3-4. He still has pass rushing skills that would rival any 4-3 DE in the league. He is a huge presence that all O coordinators have to gameplan against. I don't think TD is nearly at that presence yet. I'm not saying he cant I just don't think he is there yet.

I dont want him replacing TD. bring him in as a DE, sure. Have him replace Davis, no.

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.

      A question no one is asking about Bryce and The Panthers

      CMC said he expected to play his career here.  He didn't think he would be traded.  Carolina decided they wanted to trade him.  He picked here he wanted to go.   But we dumped him.  For largely peanuts.   But we dumped DJ Moore and he never had a blood and guts game.   So it's never a guarantee.

      I have many people telling me CMC was blindsided and heartbroken by the trade, but that's not how I remember everything going down.  49ers are pretty wounded right now on defense so if our offense can sustain drives and score, that'd be the difference maker. Their offense? I'm not scared of CMC.
