I'm at peace with all the chaos.


Recommended Posts

I know many are really frustrated with all the changes, but I expected there to be a great deal of turmoil. Growth can be painful and stressful. But I'm still in the camp that will give Rhule the benefit of the doubt for at least 3 seasons before passing any sort of judgment. It takes time to put your imprint on a team as a leader, and I have no problem giving him that time.

Actually I'm kind of excited about all the upheaval. Things will at least be different, and for me - following and being a fan of this organization since the day 1, different is *NEEDED*.

Maybe I'm a cockeyed optimist like Billy Mumphrey, but I'm feeling good. If any of you want to wallow in misery, that's your prerogative, but I'm excited. I just hope there is a season to be excited for. ;)

I know I dont understand the uproar and confusion. 

This offseason has sucked. We lost Luke, Olsen and we just knew that Cam would be next. 

We all knew that when Rhule was hired and given a 7 year contract the whole dialog was on building the system. This takes time requires a lot of chage.

So far everything that has been done was foreseen. This should not surprise us. We dont have to like it but we should not be surprised by this.

To be honest, I'm just kinda glad to have something relatively trivial to bicker about other than everything else that's going on right now. It's a good and welcome distraction at the moment.

Couldn’t say it better myself. This site has always been my escape from some of the craziness in the real world, especially now.

Given the state of the division with Brady, Ryan and Brees all being older I would argue that NOW IS THE TIME to rebuild. lets put this painful time behind us now so that when they turn over at the QB position we are in position to take advantage. 

This is a very key point.

    • Per Adam Schefter: https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1920523706624823739 Expected, but just want to rub it in here.
    • I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.
    • The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
