There is no easy fix here

We need a franchise QB, that cures every ill with this team. Teddy and Sam weren't/aren't leaders. Team should have gone after Tyrod Taylor. The QB's in this class sucked so drafting Fields/Jones wouldn't have changed anything, maybe there is a sleeper in this next draft ala Josh Allen

Did you happen to watch Tyrod Taylor today?

The defense has potential with that secondary and DL. LB group needs some tweaking and need another Safety not named Sean Chandler.

Offense needs a total overhaul. Keep Moton, McCaffrey, Moore and scrap the rest man. Get a coaching staff with NFL experience in here, sign a couple mid level guys on D and use the rest to build the OL. Draft Howell, Hartman or somebody in the first we can invest in and build this fugging team with something other than Baylor players.

Maybe we have to wait 2 years. 

At this point, it certainly seems likely, as we don't appear to have the resources to turn things entirely around this coming off season.

In the meantime you build the rest of your roster without wasting resources on players that won't help us when we finally do find our guy.

Good advice.  Unfortunately, Rhule failed to do this during his first two years and now we're in a hole.  What are the chances Matt has recognized the error of his ways or that he even gets a third chance to make it right?

Meh. He played well in houston with a bad line. I'm assuming they upgrade the line somehow or any qb is screwed here

Why the hold up then?  Were they intentionally trying to get Cam, Teddy and Sam murdered?  Why assume they will fix it in the future as this has hardly been a recent problem?

So a person can't change his mind around here?

I did.  What makes Shocker so different?

He isn't. We're all just venting now about the realization that not only is the season lost but possibly the immediate future as well. Some will just take longer for reality to fully set in. This is how it went last season with Teddy too.

    • 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.
