Yes, the Rams are in FULL win now mode.  They hit their championship window precisely, which is VERY rare.  They are in the red for the cap for the foreseeable future.   Basically, they are living in the moment and the instant that magic falters, they will  tear it all down.  Until then, they have one Super Bowl and are hoping for at least one, if not two more, before inevitable occurs.   The fact that you are putting us in the same breath as the Rams is dumbfounding.

Just showing an example of yet another team manipulating the salary cap. The Rams have been pretty loaded for a while (since 2017) they just upgraded their QB. They look to have their core locked in for the next 3-4 years as well. We shall see if they have to do a complete tear down or not after then. I imagine any rebuild will be around them finding Stafford’s replacement…

Literally what's the point to sign anyone at this point? No one is going to push any kind of needle and we are in the negatives for cap space next year w/o even having a QB. Save the money and try to trade Robby, but Rhule is fighting for his job, so we won't be smart. Let the young guys play. 

So, throw in the towel before the season starts? Good thing the Bengals, coming off a bad season the year before, did not do that last year. They were coming off 5 straight losing seasons, actually. 
 

If the Panthers get a break at QB with Mayfield, Garapollo, an improved Darnold, or an overachieving Corral, the team could make the playoffs. You don’t twirl in the towel at this point.

I feel that our DE room is very young, having a vet to replace Reddick would be nice for the future. Its a one year deal that could aid development, hope he signs. I assume he wont be wanting to come to mini camp so I wouldn't panic if he isn't signed this week.

FACT: Not winning the division, that would be the Brady and the Bucs.  PROBABLE: Not getting a wildcard, that would be a NFC West team and Central/East team.  So we are burning cap to get an extra win or two so Rhule can say there is progress.  On to year four of Tepper/Rhule and more negative cap space. Yippy!!!!!!

So your strategy is playoffs or tank?

There is no in between with rhule and co and that is what is so motherfuging frustrating.  There is seemingly no plan in building this franchise long term

So you didn't want Reddick  last year either.  You wanted to lose all the games last year?

Good answer! 

I agree and being that every year our dline gets lil injuries here and there, it'd be good to have  a guy who could spot start if needed.  It's not like we signing a scrub. The only caveat of course is Rhule not giving the young guys the burn but I feel it's not a bad problem to have on the dline.

I liked reddick but i didnt understand the 1 year deal.  As to your second question we were not going to be very good last year and we should have adjusted accordingly. 

The one year deals are a safe way to fill spots, see if players are a good fit, and not be on the hook if they aren’t a fit. We talked to Reddick about extending him, but he just wanted too much money. Longer deals can be dangerous if a player isn’t a good fit in our system.

People already hate Rhule because of last year and you wanted him to go as close to winless as possible.

I wanted Rhule to have a plan and its obvious he is clueless.   If he won 5 games but his teams were improving then we could build on something and the fanbase would latch on to that, his strategy on building this team is mindblowingly retarded.  Throwing poo against the wall and praying is not how successful NFL teams operate.  If you need examples of said poo throwing holler but I think you are smart enough to know what I am referring to

      Is Terrance Marshall JAG?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      No disrespect intended, but you act as if we are supposed to value your opinion when it is all emotion and no fact.  The roster (I assume you mean offense) is "still trash" because someone who just signed up for the Huddle has declared it to be so?   Buhahaha.  ha.  Let me show you how FACTS work, and why emotional, unsupported opinions don't carry much weight: TE: Upgraded through the draft.  Sanders is a weapon that should improve the passing game and give Bryce an outlet he did not have last year. RB:  We just drafted the best RB in college football, one who can protect the passer, run the ball, and catch the ball like nobody else on the roster.  His knee will be cleared July 1.  OL: We just signed two of the best guards in football.  that is what Payton did to protect Brees.  Ekwonu has the skill and talent, he was simply missing technique.  We got him a better OL coach.  Center?  Bozeman was ineffective last year.  Corbett is an established veteran OLman.  It seems we are much better up front. WR:  We added a guy who gets open and has averaged about 900 yards per game as a #2 in Pittsburgh with an inferior QB there.  Thielen was a 1000 yard WR last season.  We have not had a #2 like XL, with his YAC capabilities and ability to catch contested passes.  In other words, the X is much better; the Z will be replaced with a stud WR, and the veteran slot will probably not be the #1 WR in 2024--he should be the #2 or even #3 most effective WR.  The 2023 Z WR, who had 418 yards and was showing signs of improving, will not be a starter in 2024.   As much as the OL has improved, we improved the weapons.  QB:  All of these additions increase levels of protection for the QB that he did not have last year and they give him more powerful weapons that he did not have last year.  Young will not be a rookie getting hammered trying to throw to people who are not separating.  This should make him improved.  How much? remains to be seen. Now keep in mind that we did this by not reworking contracts and kicking the can down the road.  We did not have a first rounder in the draft.  We added a second rounder to next year's draft.  We also addressed needs on defense as well, adding established DL, OLBs, ILBs, and DBs.  We get 2 first round pick starters who were injured most of the season back on that defense.  Yes, we lost Burns, Luvu, and a few others, but while being good players, they were either asking for too much money or they were not great fits for the system.  So the D should be better as well. That is not trash.

      Last year he had Bryce and was in the dog house.  The year before we ran it 90% of the time and we had trash at QB, DJ only had 888 yards that season. We had trash QB and trash coaching his whole time here, hard to judge any wr during his time here

      In the 2nd Round of the 2025 NFL Draft....

      By Ricky Spanish · Posted

      We essentially dropped 7 spots and got a future 2nd after the dust settled. Not bad at all.
