I hate to break it to everyone, but Ron isn't going anywhere and will be the coach next season. 

That's what I've been trying to tell everyone. Like it or not, Ron's going to be our coach next year. The only way he's going to be fired if he doesn't come up with anything other than 7-9. Especially if we start like we did in '16 (1-5 in the first 6 weeks?).

I'm not saying Ron is the best coach in the world, but he isn't the reason this team is struggling.  Give him a healthy QB and no doubt this team is in the playoffs. Defense is much improved since he took the reigns.

Oh, no doubt. We might even make a run for the SB. Let's say we finish 6-10 & last place in NFC South; that'll allow us to draft excellent players every round, play same place losers from NFC East/North & extra motivation for the season. Cam will be determined to redeem himself & our entire team will be hungry for wins.

Lmao. How have people been watching this team for this long and keep falling for this charade? Every last misfortunate gives Ron an excuse for his imcompetency and gives him another year to ruin another season and find another excuse. Was Cam not healthy when the Steelers scored 100 points on us in the biggest game of the year up to that point? Does a healthy QB make him play more talented younger players instead of garbage vets like Matt Kalil and Devin Funchess and Torrey Smith? Does a healthy QB help him find an actual coordinator instead of just promoting an unqualified positions coach?

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
