Your opinions on the 2018 season

Its obvious that this organisation is going through the biggest overhaul that it has ever seen has since its inception. In fact. I can't recall any franchise that has gone through what is happening here. What do you see for next season? Can the players come together and focus or will all this have taken it's toll?  Opinions please....

Jerry Richardson situation could've bothered them but nothing else really should.

The uncertainty with the new owner and GM SHOULD make certain position groups work harder. (ex:Dbs) If the new regime doesn't like a players fit or think a player just isn't good they'll probably be cut or moved. And that's the only thing that I see could worry anyone.

This team as you know it will not exist after this season.  What to expect?  Don't get your hopes up.  

oh....2019? that's a whole other story. depends on who the owner and GM is and how well they can rebuild. if it somehow manages to be hurney....i'm not feeling it. this next year, though? we got some incredible pieces still in place and have better management of the offense.  we gonna be alright.

Everyone is auditioning for a job, coaches, FO and the players.  Everyone should be nervous.

Homer glasses off I would say the jury is still out on how this coming season plays out.   Everyone and I mean everyone is auditioning for a job this year so you would think that they go all out to impress, right?  That's a lot to wish for.

It’s hard to tell.  All of the players are on vacations and probably getting as far away from this mess as possible.  This team had a history of thriving during controversy and distractions. Which that says a lot about the locker room. I think as long as Ron is at helm, he will keep the players focused.

You know the inconsistency of this franchise. Something will make us finish 8-8. We play the AFC North, so we should get wins against them. New Orleans may fall off but Atlanta will certainly rebound. We also play the NFC East. The last time we had this schedule we won the division at 7-8-1. It may take a year to get acclimated to Norv's scheme. However, if we don't address our secondary or our receivers, 8-8 sounds about right.

    • Ok--I have seen some sample items, and I would like to see something (if possible) measures on field intelligence--maybe how quickly you can grasp a playbook or absorb film session adjustments...Back when we had Morrison as team president and Hurney as GM, I offered to assess (as part of my research in education requirement at a University) emotional intelligence and learning styles of players to help coaches teach more effectively.  Morrison loved it and contacted me about it.  Hurney was not interested, and it fell through the cracks.  My pitch?  If only 50% of first-rounders become successful NFL players and that number drops significantly, can you tell me that you are effectively measuring talent?  Morrison thought it was a good point and wanted to do something that might improve long-term success rates--that would impact the cap management, etc.  Marty, according to Morrison, said he was not interested at this time and if so, he would want a football guy to do it.  (I told Morrison that I played in college and Hurney, a sports reporter at one time, did not. He told me that Hurney played as a Guard in college--who knew?) Any way, about that time, Morrison left (2017) and the idea was dropped.  I reached back out a year later or so to Marty was still not interested.  A few days later, his wife accused him of assault or something, so I dropped it.
    • Pretty sure they still do the Wonderlic they just don't publicly release the scores.
    • I just thought he was under the radar--but thanks for opening our eyes to him.  I think we should have better measures for intelligence--such as reaction time, angles, etc. Legette is raw as heck, for example, and his RAS was very high.  We used to do the Wonderlic (which was not great) but to know how effectively a player makes on field decisions would be great.
