Dont want Matt Rhule, but dont want either of these dudes.

Quinn is ass and Peyton is a choker and douchebag. 

Payton may have choked but he did have what it took to be a good HC and kept their team in playoff contention for a bunch of years and managed to sweep us a couple of times. Not to mention he also owned the NFC South and was in first place for couple of years. We could use a HC that is a very good offensive minded one like Payton was.

I definitely understand the allure of getting a flashy, up-and-coming coordinator and I'd love if we went that route if Rhule doesn't right this ship.

But I really don'y think Dan Quinn would be the most disastrous hire. I guarantee you the perception around him would be entirely different if they had closed the deal on SB51. Even his "down" seasons, they were 7-9 both times - hardly a catastrophe. I wouldn't be throwing parades in the streets if he were the guy, but with the right coordinators I think you could do far worse. Essentially I guarantee you at least a few of these coordinators you all are swooning over wouldn't do as well as Quinn. Hell I bet the Broncos are currently wishing they had chosen Quinn over the flashy young coordinator who looks a disaster so far.

I also totally understand the shoot for the stars mentality, roll the dice you find the next elite mind even if the chances are small. Just a different perspective.

Why would the Saints give us the friends and family price for Payton? Instead they would bring out a barrel and ask us nicely to assume the position. The price for Gruden to Tampa was 2 firsts. That has to be the starting point you would think for any Payton deal. The Saints would absolutely love to cripple us in exchange for Payton. 

And no thanks on Quinn. Fine DC, but we saw enough of him in Atlanta and should be well aware of what he brings. I'd have to hope we could do better.

This seems weird to report with the timing of Rappaports report from this weekend. 

I think it's well known if the Panthers have another losing season Matt Rhule is likely gone, hell Matt might leave himself. 

Dan Quinn was actually a solid coach in ATL. I much prefer Flores. 

Flores would be an awesome hire.

Agreed, but we aren't dealing with the norm in this case. With Tepper, you look at the norm, then take the exact opposite. 3 years is average? Then Rhule's getting 6.

I think if we have another 4 or 5 win season, Rhule is gone.  In my opinion, that is a given.  The question though is what happens if we win 7 or 8 or even 9.   Would that be enough to get Rhule another year?

I have said it before and will say it again, I would sacrifice a small to medium farm animal to have Tomlin as our coach.  I probably would name my next kid Tepper if he could get Tomlin and Colbert.  

 

That said the Steelers are not crazy enough to fire tomlin I dont think

They won't fire him, but if they have a really bad season and clearly want to rebuild, both sides could 'part ways' a la Rivera, Reid in Philly, etc. Sometimes a new voice is needed after a long time

If that is true then it's what I feard even when Rhule is finally fired. He will swing too far and go to someone that peaked elsewhere with another embarrassing contract.

Yup, going to be at least another 2 years before Tepper figures out the most basic concepts through failure. 

 

I hope you are wrong but my gut says you are correct.

Me too.

If Fritterer steps up and convinces Tepper to hire a competent OC to do the job then my opinion of him would go way up. 

Unfortunately, I share your fear of Tepper bouncing to the opposite extreme of Rhule. 

Of course, one could say that the opposite extreme of Rhule is coaching competency and wins, but I fear we could pull a Jerry Jones and just bounce from one extreme to another for a while.  In Dallas' case, the extremes are strong, successful NFL coaches like Johnson and Parcells to yes men.

“I’m expecting, and many others around the league expect Tepper to go with a proven head coach with significant NFL experience,” 

 

That doesn't sound like a up and coming OC or DC to me.

 

 

Significant head coaching experience...

Number 5 ALL TIME NFL win percentage 

 

Jim Harbaugh

Jim Harbaugh comes in at No. 5 on the all-time list with a .695 winning percentage, though his tenure in the NFL was short. Harbaugh coached four seasons for the San Francisco 49ers before landing his job at the University of Michigan.

 

Harbaugh’s time in San Francisco led the team out of a rough period in which they hadn’t made the playoffs since 2002. In the end, Harbaugh brought the team to a Super Bowl in which he lost against his brother, John, who coaches the Baltimore Ravens.

 

 

The superior choice is clear if your talking about head coaching success in the NFL. Not a one year wonder, a builder a teacher a leader of men.

The choice is Jim Harbaugh thats the correct direction and obviously the resume is beyond reproach.

      An analysis of Brooks from The Fantasy Footballers provides possible insight as to why he's worth the price paid

      By TD alt · Posted

      Sometimes you get very valuable information from fantasy football sites. I found an analysis that you may want to read from The Fantasy Footballers. Perhaps you'll gain an insight as to why we moved up and got him. As always, here are a few snippets: "As expected, he dominated in the 2023 season. He averaged an impressive 2.03 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play, which ranks in the 86th percentile among all junior seasons since 2013." "Naturally, after initially playing behind two NFL-caliber running backs, Brooks’ career numbers do not jump off the page. However, his 2023 campaign gave us a glimpse of just how massive his upside could be at the next level. In fact, Brooks is one of only TWO running backs in this class to exceed 2.00 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play within their first three seasons in college."  "If you watch Jonathon Brooks’ film, you will find multiple plays in which he created yardage with his quick feet and lateral agility. He is elusive in open spaces and has an impressive ability to stack multiple cuts to avoid contact. Combined with his impressive burst and acceleration, Brooks can be a matchup nightmare in the second and third levels of the defense." "While Brooks is not the most physical running back, he does have a knack for absorbing contact and bouncing off defenders. You see this time and time again in his film." "He showcased a willingness to initiate contact with the pass rusher, the strength to maintain blocks, and the quickness to adjust to the defender’s moves. In addition, per PFF, Brooks was a top-three running back in the 2024 class in pass-blocking grade last season. He was also one of only two running backs in the class to average a 0% pass block pressure rate, highlighting just how effective he was as a blocker." "In short, Brooks has tremendous upside as a prospect. Even with his ACL injury, I would still be comfortable drafting him in the early second round of rookie drafts. In fact, I would not be shocked if he finished his career as the most productive running back in this class. However, we just need to temper our expectations for his rookie year as he slowly ramps up to full health." Marvin Elequin provides more here (including video clips): https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/dynasty/2024-rookie-profile-rb-jonathon-brooks-fantasy-football/   Basically, Brooks has the potential to be a beast, and was well worth the 46th pick (and most mocks had him going mid second round anyway). He's not JAG. Someone had to make the move and take him, and we were the ones to do it. He's elusive, has good speed and acceleration, exceptional contact balance, and is an outstanding blocker. Just like any nice RB transitioning to the league, he will need to get used to taking what the defense gives him, while also showing discriminating patience, but he has demonstrated some ability on that front in college. Brooks' only real knock is the ACL. But ACLs aren't career ending anymore, or even skill ending as evidenced by Dalvin Cook, Todd Gurley and others. We'll just need to temper our expectations during his rookie campaign while he gets back to form. Once he does, we'll finally have the talented three-down back that has eluded us since Stew retired.

      2024 Who would you have picked

      By R0CKnR0LLA · Posted

      2.43 : Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon 2.52 : Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 3.65 : Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 3.79 : Blake Corum, RB, Michigan 4.101 : Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas 😎 5.141 : Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia 5.142 : Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas 5.155 : Christian Jones, OT, Texas Note, I traded down from 33 (took the Arizona/Atlanta trade up to 35 - might have actually been able to net an even better deal but whatever, I'll go with this). Took the Rams trade but stayed put at 52 and at the top of the 3rd.
