I've heard a couple of people suggest that Hurney might be "promoted" (i.e. get him out of the GM chair). As long as he doesn't have any say in football decision making I could live with that, but I think it's just as likely he's shown the door. Why keep spending money just to save his ego?

Either way, Rivera's probably going to be promoted to free agent.

No.

What's the minimum amount of people required to screw up a play on defense? On Offense? On Special Teams?

It's always going to be zero if the guys outside the lines are following incorrect live-game probabilities.

The ball does roll on it's own unpredictable manner/path. Prior to it's movements (the ball), people make decisions that affect the outcomes of this irregular prism.

I have nothing against Louis Ridick but cmon man a straight jump from TV to GM for this team just isnt right at the moment. I wont even pretend to act like I know where to start in regards to a GM search but I think teppers going to set the bar higher than that. We have the richest owner in the NFL. go get the best GM money can spend dave!

Ridick used to work in the front office. He is well equipped fot that type of role. Spending the best money doesn't always = success.

If that happens then it's like JR never left. That'd be the most JR move ever. 

Exactly.

Keeping Hurney around to avoid hurting his feelings is a Mom and Pop Organization move, something JR was famous for, an approach that has prevented this team from ever having two consecutive winning seasons during its entire existence.

I def think Hurney has done a much better job than last time so far. But you gotta think Tepper is gonna clean house and bring his own people in. I just hope it’s the right people.

Give Scott Turner a tryout for the last 4 games, there is no way you are telling me Scott Turner can be worse at game management than Rivera

Actually not a bad idea.  If I were Tepper and had my GM's ear.   I would at least consider S. Turner for the OC position.  This offense is a good offense and can score some points.   Get Cam healthy and we might just land on our feet.

    • Right...I think they've done really well. No one's going to bat 1000% but they've addressed areas of need and there's no comparison to the overall talent of the team now than when DC and then Morgan got the reigns. This whole season is about seeing how much of a step up can Bryce and this team make. If Bryce can't and last year is as good as it gets for him then at least we have a talented roster for the next guy. I think we're going to be good this season 
    • I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.   
    • IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.
