We didnt win that game, Ron lost it. I'm still convinced he was trying to tank to get a better QB. He was just out sucked by Pederson. 

As much I would like to believe that, I think Tepper's ego didn't want to see his new coach lose to his old coach.

Ron stuck with Haskins despite his performance then cut him the next day. If you believe in a guy you don't start him then cut him, especially when he was the previous year's first round pick. If he had benched him in the 1st, we lose that game. I think Ron knew what he was doing. They weren't going far in the playoffs and losing to us, then Philly would have made it much easier for them to acquire the QB they needed. Moving up from 19 is a lot harder than from 6.

Sad. 

And we weren't even going to get the #1 or #2 for that matter, all out of reach come the WFT game so it's such a stupid thing to keep bringing up. NYJ and JAX were never moving their picks.

So Wilson and Lawrence would still be off the table.  In a way, it saved us from people being butt hurt over us favoring Mac Jones over Fields & Lance and we'll likely get someone just as if not more impactful than who we would have gotten at #3.

Win culture are wrong, 100%. BUT the one saving grace form that mistake is this- Im about 90% sure theyd kept the 3rd pick, even after 49ers insane offer and drafted Mac "*******" Jones.

Plus LOLOLOLOL at the win culture morons thinking that win is worth more than 3 firsts(one being 12th this years) and a 4th.

I'd love to see the lose culture morons go talk about this with players and coaches. Go tell them they are morons please.  PLEASE

Before I got further, answer this simple question- Was the week 16 win against WFT worth 2021 12th overall, 2022 1st & 3rd, and 2023 1st? Yes or No.

Great post OP. This new regime seems to be at least making effort, and I will applaud that always. Not every signing will work out, just like not every draft pick will, but I am ecstatic about the hustle and attempt to get better. Like every year around this time I am cautiously optimistic, don't see how you can be a fan and not be.

    • Is Hughes on hat trick watch for the Canes? Could he be first star if they win?
    • QB: Overhaul the room. Jettison Bryce if possible but if he must remain then use a combination of a FA QB and draft QB to replace Dalton and provide realistic replacement options for Bryce when he continues to fail in 2026. RB: Figure out Brooks and Dowdle's future. If Brooks is not going to be a factor, move on and obtain a roster capable backup RB. Dowdle, retain if he is reasonable to afford, if not, find another Dowdle. TE: Find an upgrade that is also a genuine receiving threat. Sanders can be moved/cut, if necessary. OL: Find a starting caliber C through the draft or FA. Extend Ikey and attempt to minimize the early cap hits. Attempt to retain(depending on price) Mays, Corbett and Nijman. Draft IOL and OT as backups/depth. Versatility is key for lower round picks(BC/Mays caliber). Special Teams: Retain Sam Martin. Extend JJ Jansen if he wants to stay. Draft a legitimate WR/KR/PR guy again. It has been years since we have had an above average combo player like this. EDGE: Retain Wonnum/Gipson depending on price. Cut DJ Jones. Bolster this position group through the draft. We currently only field rotational caliber players. This is not sustainable. Get actual pass rushing ability. DL: Find a real NT. Bolster depth and upgrade across the board.  ILB: Find starting caliber ILB's through draft or free agency. There are no current players on the two deep that cannot be upgraded. This is a MASSIVE roster weakness. S: Let Nick Scott walk or sign him as depth for a cheap, short term deal. Upgrades across the board are needed aside from Moehrig.  CB: Bolster depth and find a long term replacement for Jackson through the draft. Depth at this position is extremely weak.
