Saw this mentioned several times in the thread asking how long you could handle losing so I thought I'd go ahead and pose the question.

Is there anybody left who would be okay going into next year with no changes to the coaching and front office? Basically, continuing with Ron Rivera and Marty Hurney still running the show together.

If yes, make your argument as to why.

If no, ditto.

Yes there is, his name is David Tepper.

If Tepper decides to move forward with both Hurndog & 'Boat (and I think he will) I'm going to trust him and support his decision.

Tepper is brilliant and we're still in the top of the 1st inning, we all need to give him time to get it done --- and he will get it done.

NOTE:  We really don't know what Hurndog & 'Boat would have been able to accomplish if The Big Cat had left them alone and let them do their jobs.  Both deserve the benefit of the doubt and that's exactly what Tepper is giving them.

Ouch.

To be fair though, we don't know that yet.

We dont know for sure but I feel like he is going to.

1. His comments on being bad to get good.

2. Drafting Grier without any intention of him seeing the field this season.

3 . Same song and dance from last offseason.

Get what done, turn our team into an amusement park? He has not done anything at all to improve the quality of football that is played on the field, but all the while talking about a new stadium.

I really feel in Tepper's eyes Money > Winning Games

To anyone taking up this challenge, I do have one request.

Please at least try to come up with a more compelling argument than "well, we could do worse". I honestly can't think of a single less inspiring motivational speech than that.

Given the circumstances, if you can't come up with anything better I understand, but at least make the effort.

I’m actually okay with Hurney. He’s improved from his first time around and usually nails the first round. 
 

Ron just constantly has the same issues. Cam with a new HC would be worth seeing.

Hurney brings in familiar names but it has yet to translate into a winning season. He needs to go back to radio.

No. Hurney is a sub-.500 GM over the course of 10+ NFL seasons. That's all the evidence needed to show he's a subpar GM.

Ron has only won 55% of his games and that's even with the benefit of a 15-1 season. He's exactly what Tepper claims to despise - mediocre.

The wording of that last sentence makes me sense some doubt on your part.

You’re talking about a guy who paid $43 mill for the house of an old boss (who passed him over for promotion), just to tear it down and build something 2x bigger on the same lot. All accounts say he did it to show his old boss who the real winner was.

He’s got 12 Billion. What He doesn’t have Is a ring.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.
