Leadership, and lack thereof

We are now experiencing what is called a void in leadership.

 

There is seemingly no leadership on the offensive side of the ball, from the coaches to the practice squad.

There is no leadership in the Front Office, with no team President, and an interim GM.

There is no leadership from the head coach, as he refuses to accept the glaring weaknesses on his team, and refuses to modify his rigid stance on modern football.

 

So, we have a pretty well constructed team, with no current leadership.  

This exactly what you can expect until that changes.

I couldn't agree more but you forgot that we have bad leadership in the owner's suite (for a while now), i.e. inserting yourself and your emotions at the wrong times. I can't decide which is worse! 

I was lumping JR's dumbass in with the Front Office lack of leadership.

Where?

Stew, Kalil, Olsen, Cam, Trai, Norwell?

They are great players, the other players look up to them, but I don't see the leadership.  At least not right now.

So, what does Luke or TD do that you don't see from Cam, Olsen, Cam, Trai or Norwell? Everyone leads in different ways. The defense appears to have "leaders" because they are a good unit, and that side of the ball is filled with probably our best players.

This franchise is ran like a backwoods mom and pop shop. JR doesn't know what in the world he is doing. He keeps hiring these stupid defensive coaches and wants to play football like it's the 1970's. The lack of leadership starts at the top.

Then our dumb 1970’s defensive minded head coach hires a 1970’s offensive minded offensive coordinator.

Like Christ, no wonder Beane said “f*ck it”.

Brandon Beane would probably make a suggestion and look around the room and see a bunch of reactions like he was speaking french

I think our true issue on offense, is there's just a lack of talent. Either lack of talent or pieces that don't fit, and we have now and have had management that didn't know how to build around the talent that we do have. I don't think it's a leadership issue, but then again, I could be wrong

They are all great/good players, but that, and the C on your chest don't make you a leader.

The void on the offensive side of the ball starts with Ron, then Shula.

I do want to see Cam, Trai, and whomever else step up in that department though, may go a long way.

See, I don't understand this. What makes them not a leader but Luke and/or TD leaders? All the rah rah stuff you see them two doing, you see Cam and/or Olsen doing.

Cam accounts for what, 80% of our offense? He steps up and carries the load, because that is what leaders do. Cam is out there taking shot after shot, playing with injuries and such but he's not a leader? Players don't look up to him? Cam and Olsens side of the ball isn't as good as the defensive side of the ball, so of course the defense looks better, and it looks like the defense has "leaders".

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
