This is a disaster. Like there is absolutely no one to make roster cuts, no one to negotiate contracts, and no one to fill vacancies when players get injured. No matter how you look at it this move was a knee jerk reaction that spells bad news no matter how you spin it. We just got set back 10 years. 

This is what worries me the most.  It's about to be true evaluation time for all of the guys we brought in through FA, draft, and additional UDFAs (which we all know he had an eye for).  Negotiations are ramping up, big decisions based on the last few months of moves will need to be made yet without the two most critical guys to that steered the process (DG and Beane)

Jeff Morrow, Matt Allen and Marc Koncz better have their sh*t together.

Without outside help it's going to be a disaster. Honestly the timing sucks for that too. If Bene didn't leave I would be less worried but there is no one...

Yeah, this is just downright weird.  

I'm not going to pretend like I know the staff's backgrounds but this Marc Koncz is the thread.  He oversaw pro and college scouting this year.   If he gets promoted and it's a backfill situation, then that may be an ok sign.

That's fine and dandy but you're forgetting that we still got Jerry as an owner.

I see what you're saying and you may be right.  Still unclear why he was let go though. 

The right guy knows how to keep the boss happy as well as the people that work for him, simultaneously executing his vision.

Jerry Richardson is a loser when it comes to running a professional football team. He's very successful and rich. But he is also very old and out of touch when it comes to making the right decisions. Hope I'm wrong but he probably will die without winning a Superbowl because of his loyalty and stubbornness. And his timing is always f ucked up.

nice writeup. i hope to jeebus we win it all this year in the most spectacular way possible so we can sip on the memories for the next decade while the team festers

I'd like to say that's an unrealistic scenario.

I can't.

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
