The answer is cutting 60 and 75 and starting from scratch with better free agent lineman (look them up yourself, there's a lot of good ones: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/all/offensive-line// )

Also, Sam Howell 

Start mentally preparing yourself now. 

Don't use the 1st round pick on a QB 

If we trade back... still don't use the 1st on a QB.. OL me... OL me hard all draft

I could be okay with a 2nd or 3rd rounder used on a QB (if we traded back)

they do belong in the NFL.  They are a cast of backup offensive lineman.   

if all you had to do was hire a coach to make backups look like starters, people would spend all their time investing in OL coaches and not in the actual  OL. 

Right...But they have to play like they're in the NFL. Granted, Sam has made them look worse running around holding onto the ball way too long.

Tepper's only fault is that he DIDN'T MEDDLE.  He's letting Rhule build the program but should have said "no go" on the Darnold trade.

Fans are so wish wash its ridiculous, all you heard the beginning of the year was how he was gonna be a terrible owner because he will stick his nose in football decisions to much. He has done the opposite and now the football guys have put this team in a whole with bad decisions but its on Tepper for not seeing the failure ahead of time...the guy that's not the football guy.

Lol Darnold is not our qb next year. He will either be backup or gone. No way in hell he is starting.

I’ll take the other side of that bet.  Not because Sam’s last four games have been starter quality, they weren’t, but because no reasonable person can apportion responsibility solely on Sam, when this clusterf*ck has been a true team effort; players, coaches, front office. Truly.  

The front office and coaching staff will give him next training camp with an (hopefully) improved O-line and a different OC to prove this season was not indicative of his true ability.  When the team has invested second and fourth round draft picks, you won’t write off the asset without kicking the tires further.

Agreed. Fans are just pissed and are looking for heads to fall. The worst takes are the “wE ShOuld fOrcE Tepper to SELL!!!”

My expectations for this season was .500 max honestly. The offensive play calling / execution has been the worst since the Lame duck Fox year. But it has NOT been worse. Not sure any team in history were as bad as that team offensively.

Yeah, I've thought that on the down low.

Um…

It’s because of Tepper that they had to go out and find a new QB this offseason. Options 1-3 didn’t materialize. 

I realize facts aren’t well received on this board but good lord.

We thought we were importing the New Orleans offense with Joe Brady. An offensive system that has always given us fits. What even New Orleans is learning this year is that system doesn't look so unstoppable without their hall of fame level quarterback.

Yup, like you said, the N.O. offense really ain't poo without an elite QB running it, and Sean Payton scheming/calling the plays.  Its just another set of X's and O's at that point.  And right now I'm not convinced that Joe Brady could scheme up a successful game plan against Independence High School's defense.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
