Still rebuilding?

He saw something this year like we all did. We are a QB away from being a playoff caliber teams and a defensive player or 2 away from being a threat to shake things up in the playoffs. Why would you not want to adjust to the scenario instead of being complacent. This tells me he had faith in Rhule but thought it would take longer and didn’t expect him to translate to the NFL as well as he did in year 1. He is not perfect but he is in the top 20 of production in comparison to his peers last year. How we handle the personnel this year will tell us if he’s capable of sustaining the foundation to build from.

With Marty Hurney...

"This is gonna take a while, maybe up to five years. I ask you to trust the process."

Scott Fitterer takes over...

"We'll offer you the number eight overall pick, our fifth rounder and Teddy Bridgewater in exchange for Matt Stafford. What do you think?"

I mean everyone thinks we're so far off from competing when we're really not. Our offense is good, just need a QB and a couple linemen. Our line wasn't as bad last year as others think it was. The line gave Teddy many opportunities every game to do something and he just didn't. On defense, we're only going to get better with the young guys, just need a couple DBs and a LB or 2. We're closer than people think. Fitterer may see it the same way also.

I mean how can’t anyone else see it was all qb we lost all 8 games within 7 points. I mean u win half of those we would have been close to playoffs with a first year coach during what u thought was a rebuild during a pandemic. You only imagine how this team does with a good qb that can win more one score games. Tepper sees this team is a whole lot better than he thought.

Kinda odd to hold him to that considering he was still operating with Richardson regimen up until the beginning of last year.

To be fair though, that was by his own choice.

He could have ripped the Band-Aid off immediately. It's been done before.

Tb wasn’t horrible by any means. Like Dennis Green said (TB) was he who thought he was. Sad thing is we overcompensated in comparison to the Saints. They have a playoff team that even a mediocre to bad QB could go in and look decent. It happens, you learn form it. Sad thing is Tepper is going to lose 20 million in the process of learning to equate to next to nothing, but that should motivate him to be more stringent evaluating significant decisions like that again and leave it up to some one with a track record that is favorable.

In short, yes, we are still rebuilding.  It is year two.  While I don't expect playoffs, I expect no less than .500.  I mean we were a handful of choked FGs and bad decisions by Bridgewater from that this year.  This with rookies and scrub FAs scattered throughout our defense.

Would you drop the ax on Rhule if we are sub .500 this year again?

      what do you like do in winston salem

      Keep away from North Winston,  you should be fine. West Winston towards Clemmins is cool. If you're ever at the Peterscreek Walmart, the Pepsi guy is 😎.

      Does Bryce deserve credit for game-winning drives?

      By Mage · Posted

      Game-winning drives have been credited to QBs since the beginning of time

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      A lot of people have been slobbing all over this last draft but I hate the way that Fitterer/Morgan have built this offense since drafting Bryce. Anyone with eyes knew our IOL was crap but we didn't invest there and instead took project receivers and an injured RB. If you want a lesson in how build for your QB wrong, IMO, this was it. Draft him, protect him, THEN get him weapons. Its pretty much a rule, draft interior linemen, pay tackles. We're paying everyone. We had the opportunity to draft a center instead of Brooks, or perhaps instead of trading up for XL, trade back and take 2 guards/center. We could have paid Lewis and still drafted 2, but Hunt at 100m was just an overpay. And it's not like the guys many of us were begging us to draft were long shots. They're solid starters from day 1. Injuries happen. That's why all your starters can't be high value players. You need rookie contracts mixed in to be able to absorb those inevitable losses on the line. An offensive line playing an entire season together is an abnormality.  Factor into that also paying Moton 44m this offseason with a huge signing bonus when we didnt need to do right now to do him a "solid".  Now we have to sign Icky and possibly Bryce and it's a mess with more money tied up in the offense, inevitable cuts and dead cap coming. That's not even factoring in shifting Corbett to C last year after major injury to start at a position he's never played for an NFL season. It's all stuff that was foreseeable and pretty easily avoided.  The $$ and picks we've spent trying to surround Bryce outside of Tmac (Mitchell and Horn are TBD) have been used inefficiently IMO. Smarter drafting and FA with the line could have let us get more reliable weapons than XL and Sanders in FA. It might not be popular opinion, but I'll take a Bersin with hands that can get 6-8 85% of the time vs a big play XL with greasy fingers.  The part about hitting guys in stride was more about placement, which Bryce has struggled with. Obviously not every route is run to be hit in stride, but they do need to have the ball placed well to give the receivers a chance to do something after the catch. I just used Hill as an example because he's the biggest YAC threat I could think of over the past 5 years.   Receivers can feast on dink and dunk if it's schemed right. But to make it work, that vertical threat has to be there, if not the deep pass then the high speed routes that can spring someone for the huge YAC to keep the safeties from cheating into that 20 yard box all game.  I hope DC and Bryce can keep up what they did in the last game and it isnt just an Atlanta thing. But no matter what, I really want to see some better long term strategy coming from the FO.
