If we tear it all down again how long would it take...

I think it is a myth that it takes a long time to win in the NFL.  The league overall is designed for parity.  

Rivera, Fox, Capers all took over bad teams (or nonexistent) and had winning ones fairly quick. 

I have little doubt that a competent coaching staff could have this team competitive their first season and in the playoffs by the second.   This team is young but only needs decent coaching, an improved line and a game manager QB to become a contender

So lets say we tear it all down..fire rhule. We hire the next big thing coach..hit on most of our draft picks the next 2 years. How long realistically would it take to get back the to superb owl?

How far away are we with our core and good coaching?

Would you be ok with going through a losing season next year as long as rhule is gone to get a good pick?

What is best case scenario W-L record for our potential rookie coach next year?

What would be your first steps as new coach?

We have no core.  CMC is glass.  DJ is the best WR2 in the NFL or a low end WR1.  Everyone else on offense is either JAG or worse.

Shaq, Burns, Reddick, Djax and Gilmore are above replacement and Horn flashed, but he has to prove it all again after injury.  Everyone else is JAG or worse.

ST is a disaster.

Having traded our 2nd and 3rd picks next year.  We’re saddled with either Rhulegime for another year or a new coaching staff with a total gutting likely.  Certainly a delicate cap situation with how much money is committed to CMC and our deluge of rotten QBs.

We’d have to catch lightning in a bottle to be relevant any time in the near future.  Tampa isn’t going away until Tom retires.  Green Bay won’t go away until Aaron retires.  God forbid but Dallas looks solid.  LA is a contender, Seattle is always a wild card.  SF is a wild card.  Arizona is ahead of us, could probably argue Chicago and Washington are as well.  Hell, even New Orleans and Atlanta can make a case they’re no worse than us.  That’s just the NFC.  It took 5 years after drafting Cam to be a legit contender and it didn’t last long.  

With that said we went from 1-15 in 2001 to nearly winning a Super Bowl in 2003.  So there’s a case for a quick turnaround and the NFL certainly has plenty of examples.  Right now the team feels like the Browns though.  Just cycling through possible solutions so quickly that you never even know if there was potential in patience.

Get a good caoch, use every pick on the offensive line, including trading back where possible, and bring in at least 1 good free agent so that you come to training camp with 8 to 10 new offensive linemen.

Moton at tackle. Brady and Deonte fighting with the new hires for the other 4 spots, and turn it around fast.

The defense has great pieces to coach up. The offense has some good skill pieces. A new coach that builds up the line, uses CMC out of the backfield less, and has the QB just manage the game can win next year. The offensive line and the coaching staff are the problem, fix those and win next year. 

Tom can't play forever, Matt Ryan can't play forever, with a new coach, why can't it be us next.

Stop fuging trading back, that poo doesnt work.  Evaluate the players and pick the fuging talent.  Stop being cute it doesnt work

How do you figure 2 years?   How is it possible to get a rookie qb up to speed that quickly and completely overhaul the line and fill in the other holes?   We are in a bad bad spot as we stand here today as a franchise 

Based on if a head coach is going to take a team to the Superbowl they do it within 3 years of being with that team. 4 if they don't get their QB until year 2.

If they don't make it in that time frame, they won't. 

If it takes longer than 2 years to start winning, it's taken too long.

Maybe for a normal franchise but I dont see it here.  We have too many holes, 4 out of 5 lineman, linebackers, another corner or 2 and yeah a competent qb.

 

Keeping in mind the draft this year is pretty much a dud with only one high pick of value.  IMO this is a 3 minimum and that is if everything breaks our way

No. For any franchise. If we don't hit it in 3 years with the next coach then we have to move on to another one. 

They only have 2 years to start winning or 3 to get to the Superbowl or it's not happening.

Sure man, but my point still stands, its going to take more then 2-3 years to build a solid roster

Playoffs we should expect in 2 years max. The NFC South is trash. Rivera took advantage of that and won three straight titles. That's my bar. You should be able to do at least what Rivera did. If not, bye.

Superb Owl? That's a difficult one. If you just stay in that discussion regularly(top 3-5 NFC teams) then I expect to break through to the game at least a couple of times in a 10 year span. That seems to be about average for non-Pats teams that maintain success.

    • and they don’t get paid and teams don’t keep playing them 
    • Then if he needs time to grow up and he is going to sign an extension in needs to be a 3 year, 20m AAV. He doesn't deserve to get paid like a top 10 QB right now because he's not. Daniel Jones is getting 14m and is playing top notch football.  He may have had some better games, but his mechanics and footwork are still terrible when he feels any pressure, real or not. When he feels good, he steps into his throws like he should. When he doesn't, it's that body squared up or jumping arm toss or tip toe lob. His fumbling is a huge problem. He cant run QB sneaks. He cant really play from under center because his drop backs are terrible and he needs to be far back to get enough gapping to see the field. That's not top 10 QB contract worthy.  And let's not pretend that Bryce is some victim in all of this. Remember him packing on 20 lbs before the combine for the weigh in and walking around in a hoodie the entire time or practicing that S2 test that no one has mentioned before or since so he'd have better results, or riding that hype train like the wheels weren't ever going to fall off. Stroud got roasted and torn apart because of a "leaked" S2 result. He was being portrayed as an idiot while Bryce was being portrayed as a savant. All Stroud ever said was watch me play football. He proved his point.  Bryce did everything he could to make himself the number 1 overall pick and when that happens, guess where you're going? To a bad team, likely with a new coach and it's probably going to be full of dysfunction especially if the owner is Dave Tepper. But the real dysfunction came because Bryce wasn't Reich's choice for QB. He wanted Stroud because Stroud fit the type of offense he ran better than Bryce ever could. That's why he lost interest as soon as he was drafted. He was forced to play Bryce when it was obvious he wasn't ready to show off Tepper's shiny new draft pick. No HC is going to come to a team when he gets no choice over who he has as a QB to build around and he has to reinvent the wheel when the easiest thing to do was just buy the wheel that fit to begin with. Tepper lied to Reich all the way up until draft day, then he made that pick. Then Reich checked out, and i don't blame him one bit. And I'll be clear, I didn't want Reich. I wanted Steichen because of what he's doing in Indy or Ryans because I thought he would make one hell of a leader and HC.  Reich was a HC with no control over his own team. I put the majority of what's gone wrong involving Bryce on Tepper. The trade gave up too much in picks and DJ to build around him, we had a horrid GM who couldn't draft or build a roster, a QB forced to play before he's ready, an owner that thinks he knows more than football people.    There's a lot of moving pieces in all of this, but we cant pay Bryce 50m AAV at the end of this season while he figures it out, and the 5th year doesnt make sense either if we're a run heavy offense with Bryce as game manager. You dont need a 30m, 5th year option QB for that. If he's not there developmentally, he's not there.  Unfortunately, there isnt time to just calm down. He plays like a game manager this year and we have to move on. You dont give game managers huge contracts behind the highest paid oline in football, especially when you need to sign your LT. Any journeyman can give us Bryce level results for 15m less per year. Just the way it is. If there was more time, maybe. Unfortunately there isn't. Just the way it is. 
    • We’ve had opportunities to take 2 of the top 5 Cs in the game and instead we took TMJ and Johnathan Brooks. Our drafts since 2017 have been 1 player per draft and then huge misses on lots of really good NFL players (who the huddle have talk about in the draft threads). It’s been mentioned here so many times to draft more OL once you get to the 2nd and beyond since C/G talent is top tier in day 2 and lots of surprise day 3 guys. Taking Brooks over Frazier just looks worse and worse as our OL helps Chuba and Rico look great and Frazier would be a large improvement over Mays.
