  • One of Bum Phillips’ most famous quotes was in 1978. He was asked about coaching against Shula, and Phillips said, “He can take his’n and beat your’n and take your’n and beat his’n.” In other words, Shula was such a great coach he could beat you with his players, and he could beat you with your players.

After seeing how hard the defense has played to keep us in this game; and how hard Christian and the crew has  played on offense, I have no doubt that there are coaches in the NFL  who could win right now with this current roster.
 

We aren’t a championship team as currently constructed, but the Panthers are not a team opponents just roll over even with Rhule at the helm.  San Francisco is clearly better than us, but at no point in this game have I felt we were just overmatched. Let this sink in. If not for the missed field and missed 2 pt conversion attempt, we’d be down by one score to a team that manhandled the world champion LA Rams (who could protect Stafford or even score a touchdown) less than a week ago.

If we had the right coach/coaches this team could be a problem for NFC in the immediate future.

    • I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.  
    • Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.  
    • The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
