Not sure if this is true or a fabrication made up by Easterby to convince McNair to choose Caserio instead of Omar Khan.

That was where we first heard this suggestion, though the story came from Bob LaMonte (Caserio's agent) not Jack Easterby.

And yeah, it's still possible.

It also sounds like Kyle Shanahan and Pete Carroll. There’s more than one way to divide the work and authority between a coach and a GM.

I agree with this. This is also the approach in Buffalo. Makes a lot of sense to me and I have no problem with it. I actually prefer a collaboration between the GM and HC.

Well, Jones stated it as fact, and I trust his reporting.  Now, was he just relaying the info we already knew from previous reports?  Idk, but like I said, he has always been fairly informed and keen on the things he puts out there, so I'm thinking this wasn't just a bluff.

Agreed, but it's also true that reporters frequently get information from agents.

If his information comes from Bob LaMonte, and Bob LaMonte is full of sh-t, well...

I don’t like seeing or hearing that at all. If Rhule wants to be the Gm, just come out and take both the jobs. If he wants nothing to do other than coaching the team then let’s get a Gm that has full control of managing the team. 

You've obviously not studied the Appaloosa model.

      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.
