Yeah but at least they came away with actual hardware. We didn't.

I was trying to avoid that subtle difference!  The fact that they were a yard and a dumb offensive play call away from turning their loss to a win, and we were a few of turnovers and a missed field goal away was bad enough.

Not going to read through this thread so sorry if this has been posted.  Just heard on Sirius that Wilson wants a say in personnel matters.  My guess is that he is interested  particularly  in the Oline.

I can understand making suggestions like "we need a better O-line", but I don't care who the player is. There's no way in hell I'd give them a say in the roster.

From the interview he did today, it sounds like he wants just that.

I bet it ends up happening.

It’s not unheard of for players to have roster input. 

Reid said Mahomes had a big say in the  Chiefs 1st round pick last year.

Jay Cutler was involved in head coach interviews.

I know Cam had a hand in recruiting some FA signings.

The precedent is there. Wilson just wants to take it another step.

Depends on what "say" entails for me. QB advocating for a free agent is fine but not suggesting cuts or playing GM.

      Ticket Prices

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Fees nowadays are ridiculous. After purchasing concert tickets for my son’s 18th birthday and paying the rest of our HHI trip with 3 other families, I’m shocked at how much they are. Honestly, it’s grand theft. Some is taxes but in a world where everything is electronic, fees should be cheaper. Electrons don’t cost 10-30% of the event.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Nope, that’s not the disconnect. In 2022, our GM knew he was going QB in the 2023 draft. You are talking about risking fans involvement on a team that’s been basically bottom 3 in the NFL from 2018 to now. There is no risk when you are that bad. We were right to want Fitterer to tank in 2022 and get rid of anyone who could bring us big value and extra cap room for future years when we aren’t winning 2-7 wins a year. We knew we wanted a rookie QB so we didn’t trade assets for picks and get a better draft slot so we ended up only getting a 2nd for Burns and threw in DJ Moore plus an early 2nd instead of a 1st, which basically lost us an early 2nd. The “risk” to our franchise’s losing culture ended up being around 4 1sts of total value. Yep, I refuse to listen to the other perspective that lost us around 4 1sts of value. At least our fan involvement is so high that our stadium isn’t chock full of visiting fans since we’ve won so much since 2022. Again, you won’t change my mind that we should have tanked in 2022 and had another 2-4 Browns/Horns on this team.
