Reich might have had a better chance if Gettleman were still in charge.  They were together in Buffalo some years back.

As it stands. I have zero expectations that either Rivera or Hurney will be displaced anytime soon.  Hell, I'm not even willing to bet on Shula getting canned.

I don't care for Rivera's overly conservative approach, but I honestly do believe that a better OC would make a world of a difference.

I wasn't the world's biggest Rob Chudzinski fan, but I do have to admit he might have been better suited to coach Newton.

Shula's style is basically "let's try not to make any mistakes, while Chud was more "f--k it, let's go for it all!"

My only issue with Chud is that I thought it was pretty clear that he was coaching for himself and not the team. He wanted to be seen as the innovator and the catalyst behind our offensive success.

Then again, I think that's largely true with Shula as well, it's just that he doesn't have the mental chops to pull it off.

Chudzinski's dream job was to be head coach of the Cleveland Browns. He got the job, and in true Browns fashion was dumped after one season.

Does he still aspire to be a head coach? Don't know.

The guy was a bit of an egomaniac. Anyone who thought they could succeed in NFL coaching where Bill Belichick failed has to be a bit of an egomaniac.

Thinking you can succeed in Cleveland requires...a certain mindset.

Other thoughts on Reich?

    So, anyone else going to weigh in on this? Or just these two? 

 

    Yeah, were are 4-2, but hey, let's pretend. I am a Panther fan, and I just don't like how we play. I see other teams doing well, and I demand my team do so as well. 

 

    I demand that my expectations be met. I will not settle for less. I deserve wins, and I will not settle for less. I mean, who cares that wins in the NFL are difficult. I want wins, and I am going to rant and rave, until they happen.

 

    I mean, who cares that Dan Marino never won a SB, or Barry Sanders. That plenty of good, to great teams never won a SB. I am not those folks. I deserve this. And I am going to show my azz until it happens.

 

    Such is life in the instant gratification world.

Come on, Hub.

It's not like Rivera is still new and getting his feet wet. We know what we have in him. Ditto Shula. And Hurney? Please.

Making changes at head coach, GM or both hardly counts as instant gratification. We're talking about at least a two or three year process of transition, and probably not an easy one. Throw in that our roster right now, while good, is also kind of old. There'll be some changes needed there too.

I have no Illusions about things instantly and magically getting better. I know it'll be a rebuild, and a rough one.

That said, I'll take that happily over another three to five years of beating our heads against the wall with what we have now, and it's not even a difficult choice.

      In all honesty, he should probably get that checked out. It might be (Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) "a tuuumaaa"

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      I've seen the comp a few times, and I feel there is a lot to it. Our situation is a lot like Kansas City was pre-Mahomes (without the HOF HC) Whether you like them or not, D&D are building something here.  They had a strong draft.  The team is slowly coming together, developing some identity, and has some decent blue chip parts.  Brown, Horn, McMillan, and a good OL situation that we should keep fortifying every year.  It's not much yet, but growing.    Bryce is in that Alex Smith spot.  A top draft pick, has never been overly impressive, but you can win games when he's safe with the ball.  You're not winning because of him - maybe once in a blue moon.  From time to time he's shown the ability to orchestrate some plays and lead drives.  I just don't see anything that is like - "oh snap, yeah don't let him go, he's ours".  He'll make a solid/good throw every now and again, but man, it is a struggle a lot of the time to watch.  Some terrible performances to speak of, heck he's already been benched once during year 2.      He should in no way preclude you from flirting with what else is out there.  This is not a marriage.  If you're in position (or trade range) for a guy you REALLY like come draft day, you shoot your shot. If we are in the draft process, and suddenly realize QB3-4 is a guy we really like, that's when you make a modest jump from like 16 to 11 or something like that.  Just like the Bills did for Allen, like the Chiefs did for Mahomes.  This is nothing magical that plants this franchise savior title on them, this is not some stupid trade-- it's an easy trade up to get a guy you like w/a big ceiling.  It's all player dependent and coaching/development driven.  If we don't like a QB, by all means fortify the front-7, get an awesome OLB or ILB prospect.   But we're on year 3, you kind of know what you're getting at this point.  Mostly sub-200 yard performances, low YPA, bad technique, poor mechanics, some decent stuff sprinkled in, but some bad turnover heavy ones that kill the team's momentum.  Again, run with him if there's no complete disaster that happens the remainder of the season, but don't close the door on something better just because of the investment or debatable performances.
