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

Yeah I was just pointing out the most obvious group that should be worried. But as you said essentially everyone is competing for their jobs outside of a select few.

It is tough to know what to think without the alarming level of uncertainty in the front office being remedied. We have so many critical contracts, free agency moves and the draft to get through. I honestly can say that I don't know what to think at this juncture. The addition of Turner is great, the loss of Wilks stings a little bit(hopefully he just ends up being a speed bump) and I think we have enough pieces on the roster to be a playoff team again. But, no GM with the draft and free agency pending is scary as fug.

I think we’ll be fine. Just need a solid draft and sign a legit WR.

I think Norv will do a great job. Just need the right guys to step up, not have dire injuries and hopefully not have the refs do a screw job campaign against Cam and we’ll be golden.

I wasn't a fan of the meddling owner, retread GM or Ron's coordinators, believing all of them played a role in holding this team back.

Now there is a good chance that they'll all be gone before next season starts.

So how do I feel about next season?

Pretty damn good.

Pretty, pretty, pretty damn good.

 

I'm getting there.  It's just hard to sit through another wasted season with this crew at the helm.  I keep thinking hold fast and weather this storm because there's favorable winds on the horizon, are something like that.

Next stage is acceptance, I'm not there yet.

    • 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.
