losing Cam for this season maybe a blessing in disguise.

Maybe losing Cam wasn't such a bad thing. It allows our new owner to see the problem areas not masked by our pro bowl quarterback. Hopefully he comes back 100% but at least it exposes where we lack as an NFL Franchise. Coaching, personnel and everything. Where can we improve? 

Maybe it forces things that's not been a priority to the top of the list. Maybe we will find an oline for Cam and McCaffrey, and become the best possible rushing attack ever in the NFL?  Who knows? But I feel like this season has highlighted necessary changes that's been holding us back, and now a new very progressive owner witnessing it maybe this is it. When luck goes our way?

 

Either way I'm thankful I will get to watch.

Our run blocking has improved a good bit. CMC is running through some nice holes nearly every game at least a few times. Pass pro leaves a little to be desired, especially watching games yesterday and seeing QBs have more than 3 seconds to make a decision.

I think if anything, the issues get fixed and Cam comes back and we blow the league up, the issues don't get fixed, Cam comes back and does either well or just OK and people are torn on what to do on this board, or the issues get fixed under a new regime.

The second option is honestly most likely.

if all the losing seasons before this didn't convince the team they needed better coaching and to get a better line around Cam, this season isn't going to be the tipping point in going all in there.

and Cam getting injured this season puts his future here in question, which is rather upsetting, so I would say this is not a blessing in disguise in any sense.

To be fair, current ownership has only  directly experienced two of those seasons and it sounds like he's already tired of it.

Under Jerry Richardson, we could have gone on like this forever.

Rather have an owner who can evaluate the situation without something catastrophic happening. Cam didn't cover up anything he made up for it. You could still clearly see the issues the team has regardless of Cam and any half rate evaluator regardless of business venture can see these types of things.

I’m sure Tepper will find us a franchise level QB who is really good but somehow doesn’t cover up problem areas on the roster with their elite play. In fact I hope all our elite talent only does enough to fill their role so that way we know who the good players are and who the bad players are.

All elite players make other players look better. That’s the fuging point! In the salary cap era you can’t have quality talent at all positions so you build around the best players you have. That means making a system that works to the advantage of your players and uhhh covers up the weak points on the roster.... all offenses and defenses have weak points, it’s why you get great players to make it work despite the flaws! 

Cam being cam is a feature, not a flaw. We can get away with it so we can put more money to other places on the roster to make our plans work.

Sick of hearing this line of thinking.

    • Darrell Jackson would be a fantastic pickup for us, I think he could replace 80% of what A’Shawn gave us last year. With more passing rush upside going forward in the future, I’m a big proponent of large framed defensive tackles. Pairing Derrick Brown with another 6’5 35inch arm length DT would be so fun to watch. Let’s continue being huge in the middle, allow our linebackers to flow to the ball uninterrupted.
    • Fully agree that the best thing to do is ignore them, which takes a away their thrill of thinking they got to you.
    • I agree with you on the pick of Thienemen in the first. I think he will still be there and he's a smart, fast and sturdy player. He's who we need back there. In the second, I like Rodriguez over Golday. I agree that off the ball linebackers are desperately needed here, even with our great FA pick up. I think with our third pick, we're going to dip into OT territory instead of the D-line. While I agree that we need another disruptor at the point of attack that is stout enough to just stonewall a center and a guard at the same time, we've got a shaky and expensive O-line at the present that is just about to age out of the game. I think we snag Blake Miller out of Clemson here and give him a year behind Moton to learn and put some weight and strength on. He can also jump right in and play right guard at any time. Also, and this might sound crazy, but anyone who has put up with multiple seasons at Clemson will be able to take the heat and humidity of training camp at the start of the season and early games against the NFCSouth.  Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine. We do need that QB for competition and realistically to study for back-up. Luke Altmyer out of Illinois seems to fit the mold of the point guard type QB that they want from Bryce. That'd make an apples to apples situation that could make coaching and game planning easy. On the other hand North Dakota State's Cole Payton could be an intriguing choice as well as a big dual threat guy. Both could be there for our fourth pick or both could be gone. Will QBs continue to slide this season like last? Who knows?
