you mean before Fox came in? And then the year after we found our franchise QB. SAme with Rivera.

 

The one thing the NFL has constantly shown is that HCs go down with their QBs, and succeed with them as well.

Do you think Matt Rhule is capable of finding that franchise QB? Do you think Matt would have taken a chance on Delhomme or Cam? I think its more likely that he would have traded picks for like Ryan Leaf or drafted Blake Bortles.

It’s not Matt rhules job to find talent. We hired Dan Morgan to do that for a reason. 
 

marty hurney picked those players above. Not fox and not Rivera.

I think the makeup of the team is critical. Taking Burrow may have been a no-brainer. But go back to the draft this year, the no-brainer was to take a tackle. They took a risk to go with a star their QB wanted and it paid off. I don't know that that team makes the playoffs if they draft a tackle instead.

I just want the team to win. It's incredibly frustrating knowing that the process for this team is to maybe, possibly be good somewhere around 2025. Any period of time where I have to be jealous of Bengals fans isn't going to be a good time.

I think the real difference is between us and the Bengals is that we lost a lot of our star players instead of adding to them.  Keuchley, Bradberry, Olsen and Newton's injuries were some key factors.  Of the last 4 seasons under Rivera, only one was a winning season.  the phenomenal talents of Newton and McCaffrey hid some glaring gaps and as they faded, so did our Wins.

They drafted a stud QB1 

 

we took Derrick Brown 

It takes more than that though. Herbert is much better than Burrow yet the Chargers sucked this year. It all starts up top, you need competent HC and GM to build a team around that franchise QB, Tepper has no ability to hire those people

Ok, purely hypothetical here.

Before last season, Panthers hire another coach. You think we roll in to last season with Teddy as QB, and this year with Sam? I don't. I think Rhule has played a significant role in putting together the roster. I think if it was mostly Marty Hurney making the decisions, he would have sold the farm for Herbert last year.

Matt Rhule would’ve broken the bank for Marques Tuiasosopo in 2007, and in 2003 he would’ve traded a ton of picks for Tim Couch.

Chargers were a winning football team this year….and would have been a postseason season team if a OT FG was missed the last game of the season.  

we suck.  The Chargers didn’t suck this year.   Chargers disappointed.

Snow and Rhule wanted Sam and got him.   Not Dan Morgan. 

Cam Newton was a Panther ultimately because Ron wanted him.

I’m not going to jump into a “what if” conversation bc i honestly don’t have the energy or attention span at this moment.

 

as for Herbert, there legit wasn’t a trade up partner outside of the giants. We both know David gentleman probably didn’t even pick up the phone when we called.

Y’all need to just realize this team’s ceiling is 5-12, and for the next 3-4 years the ceiling is 3-14 or 2-15. Embrace the trades of popular, successful players for draft picks that turn out to be colossal busts. Lean into the skid of 0-17. Live with Rhule’s incoming contract extension. Welcome the trading of the next year’s first-round pick every year as it turns into the No. 1 overall pick.

      Kon is a damn stud but it’s not any individual player’s team. All of the “big 3” are incredibly and equally important IMO. And LaMelo makes Kon way better (look at his shooting splits with LaMelo on the floor vs without. Also Moose and even Miles are important cogs. Honestly think we’re 1 piece away from being legit top contenders if the young guys continue to develop the next year or two. I trust this FO to be patient to find that piece within the next 2-3 years and not force anything. Plenty of time and even without adding anyone we have the pieces in place overall already to compete with any team.

      We lost 2 very close and winnable games against top teams in the league while missing 3 critical players despite 2 of our top 3 players shooting unusually terribly. Still split the 4 games that Moose and Miles were suspended, winning the most important one vs the Hawks. This ain’t yo mama’s Hornets man. Hopefully Coby can go soon but even if not Moose and Miles are huge additions for our starting lineup and bench rotations. Schedule is pretty tough after these next 4 but I think we’ll take care of business the next 4 to get to .500 then finish slightly above .500 after that to get a 7 or 8 seed. Keep it rolling boys. Also Kon is having an insanely historic rookie season as a shooter. Like truly can’t believe my eyes watching this kid level of historic. Man what a fuging home run of a draft pick and exactly what this team needed to take that next step forward. He’s gonna shatter the rookie 3 point and franchise 3 point records. Has a real chance to be the 2nd best 3 point shooter ever or dare I say even get to Curry’s level (as a pure shooter, Curry obviously has way more to his game that has made him a GOAT).

      Mike Kaye: LB Devin Lloyd could be a realistic possibility

      By strato · Posted

      I hear you but yeah like you say, above average. His numbers were good. You’d think it would be a no brainer. Anyhow… I guess the new staff is also fine with him walking?    I hope if we sign him there isn’t some secret issue of his that led to him not being valued.
