It’s still SO early but the difference between this and previous regimes is night and fuging day.


Starting with the draft which he managed masterfully, giving the team more and more picks which have already been turned into early contributors such as TMJ, Tremble, Hubbard, Nixon, etc and obviously Horn who looked legit before injury.

 

Early on looking like he CRUSHED fa. Jones, Fox, Reddick, even Erving hasn’t been a total disaster. Elflein sucks but overall that’s a hell of a haul.

Thinking PROGRESSIVELY. Knowing the team wants to contend for a playoff spot this year, but instead of overpaying for a vet taking a chance on a guy with loads of talent that’s still crazy young. Someone that could help us this year and in the future.

He is absolutely crushing it so far. This is not me anointing him, but I’m very cautiously optimistic.

The guy is always looking to improve our team.  Trading players or scooping them up on the market.  

He's not overpaying underperforming players just to save face from a 1st round pick.

He is on the same page as the Head Coach which makes it easier to find the talent we want. 9 of 11 players drafted are contributing.  The other two are in the wings as potential contributors. He's building a team that will be built for the long haul.  Can you imagine 3 or 4 drafts in a row like 2021?

I still think Elflein was almost as much about having a Paradis backup as a LG. He also had chemistry with Darnold. Yeah, he still sucks, but I can at least follow the logic ... sort of.

Also, Arnold was another hellova FA pickup. Which he has now rolled into another top 10 CB.

This has me thinking of who this band of merry misfits running the show in BOA reminds me of. 

You've got Rhule, the caption.

Kirk

Snow, the science officer/genius

Spock

Brady, the navigator.

Chekov

Fitterer, the engineer. 

Scotty

Or I've watched too much Star Trek in my informative years.

      Hubbard says he might have rushed back

      I agree it is more about the OL. If you happen to have a world beater with a great OL then that’s better obviously but you don’t need to have that.  Capable and durable guys that can get to the second level with good blocking can be plenty.

      I think Gibbs is special, but you’re right, some of the top investments have proven to not be much different than some 2nds and 3rds. Taylor for example is on an MVP level season. James Cook is doing better than Breece Hall for example. Raiders weren’t in a good spot to draft Jeanty. Same with the Falcons/Bijan.  You gotta swing at the right time — the investment shouldn’t come too early. You almost have to stumble into a guy mid to late rounds while building or find that guy to put you over the top when the team is finally well rounded.

      Like I said in another post yesterday, the handling of the offensive line by Fitterer and mostly Morgan has been crazy. We've spent way too much money(Lewis and Hunt) to keep Bryce upright instead of using our picks in the 2nd round on JPJ and Frazier. Could have kept an injured Corbett at guard, Brady at swing, and still taken Maye as a backup, sorry Zavala. We wouldn't have taken XL, but XL hasn't been as advertised anyway, and Brooks hasn't contributed anything. Moton's extension with it's signing bonus made him uncutable. Icky's contract was due at the same time Bryce's 3rd year ended, and we all know it's extension or 5th year, and if we're going to do a 5th year, he's going to want the extension.  To me the whole thing is just ridiculous. Right now, depending on if Tepper decides to keep Bryce, it feels like we're going to have to choose between Icky and a Bryce extension. Maybe he plays on the 5th year, but I think he'll want the big money guarantee.  JMO, but if you took a look at how the contracts could potentially fall, the writing was on the wall that this could be a cash flow nightmare. Too many contract guarantees, not enough rookie contracts to offset the upcoming paydays.
