Gotta think Tepper is looking at an entirely new coaching staff.  The leadership here is totally ridiculous right now.  That we have not made a move at safety is unacceptable.

Do you look there first, though?

I've been a Rivera critic and I'm well aware of his flaws, but it's fair to argue that he was more successful (including an insanely good season in 2015) with a different GM in charge.

I've utterly given up on us ever actually trying to address the safety situation as long as Rivera is coach. We just don't give a single fug about the safety positions. I like plenty of things about Ron as our head coach, but his defensive philosophy regarding the secondary is one of the major things o disagree with and I feel that the NFL is ever evolving to a more and more pass happy offensive approach while we seem hell-bent on playing 1980s defense.

Mr Scot, I would fire everyone in charge and start with Hurney.  This team will go no where with these clowns running things.  How in the hell have we not looked at any safeties out there?  Fuggin unacceptable.

I would love to hear Hurney or Rivera once just admit that they have screwed us at the safety position and have perpetually devalued it.  Even if it changes nothing, I want to hear them admit this gross negligence. Our last line of defense is a fuging joke.

So my hope beyond hope, my completely not based on evidence take is that Hurney and Rivera are putting a small patch on a large rip and with the bye next week want to take that time to find a safety and be able to work out the details without rushing into a signing or trade for just one game. 

Again this would be a smart move. However, is this what our FO is doing?

    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive lshort or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
    • Then please take a vacation from the team.
    • In addition to his weak arm he has to compensate in the pocket by throwing off his toes due to his height. Respectfully, its a handicap.
