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.

    • This is gonna be longest six weeks ever 
    • This 1000%.  Hey who wants to sign with the guy that couldn't even get his client the guaranteed contract of a 3rd round pick?  Lmao
    • I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
