In the end this is what is going to happen I believe.  We are 2 years minimum out from competing, why put cmac through that when we can get resources for him and put him in a better situation?

Put him through what? He’s getting paid. He’s a professional.

  It’s a huge risk to keep him this year. His main value is this cheap year. After the deadline, his value drops. And who knows what a new coach/staff will want to do. If they want to move on without him, his value probably drops to a 3rd at best. If he doesn’t get hurt again.  Take a late first or early second and do what most teams do. Draft quality young cheap RBs. 

Like Chuba Hubbard?

Not if we get a good coach and QB. Plenty of teams in worse shape than us outside those two spots have turned it around quickly. I know it’s edgy and trendy to let emotion say the team is complete trash and going to take X years to turn around, but there’s no way to know that. The Giants still have much worse talent top to bottom than us but they’re competing now. All it took was year one of a new coach.

That's complete hogwash. This team is terrible because of terrible coaching. I could see us with 9 wins next year with the right coach. Our defense will keep us in most games with a good coach and avg QB.

You're exactly right. Look at what the Giants are doing this year.

Had we jettisoned Rhule last season, I think we'd have probably been sitting here with the current Giant's coaching staff in a much lighter shade of blue than they are wearing now.

Our personnel aren't that different, but the coaching is miles apart.

1. How often does that happen?

2. Who is the qb?

3. Who is the coach?

 

Simple analytics tell you the odds are long for a new head coach and new qb to come in and compete for the playoffs in year 1.

The Athletic weighs in on the trading of cmac.

https://theathletic.com/3706898/2022/10/19/christian-mccaffrey-trade-offers/

Spoiler:  He doesnt hold the value like the bulk of the posters think he does.

If Fitt can get a first he gone.  If we trade him its probably going to multiple day 2 picks.

Do we even save money with that huge dead money hit? Might as well keep him as a weapon for our rookie if we only get a couple day 2.

      Okay, now face the facta guyd

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      No, it will be a raw 6'7" 17-year-old European who just played basketball for the first time in March and who the idiot GM "had first on our board." He'll play the whole G-League season, get in 42 games for the Hornets and average 1.1 ppg on 35% shooting. Been there, seen that.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      We missed on Burns at his peak value. That’s the problem with trading for picks 2-3 years away (which people were convinced the Rams would suck by now and these would be higher picks btw). Each year away the pick is the further in value it drops. Fitt was clearly hired based on turning us around quickly. It’s one of the many reasons tanking isn’t really a thing as our player JJ is telling you in this original article. It would take the whole organization from the owners down admitting they aren’t winning soon with Burns and picks 2-3 years away having more value because that’s when we are still rebuilding. It would only make sense if Fitt had a longer leash and would more than likely be the ones making these picks anyway which you wouldn’t want. The question is would you rather have those Rams picks with the strong possibility of Fitt still being here or would you rather Fitt try to “win now” like he did and expedite his firing? Altering the timeline would affect more than just the Rams picks.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      I dont buy the idea that it would create more competitive games Given this: Seed Current Format Record Proposed Open Seeding Record 1 Lions 15–2 Lions 15–2 2 Eagles 14–3 Eagles 14–3 3 Buccaneers 10–7 Vikings 14–3 4 Rams 10–7 Commanders 12–5 5 Vikings 14–3 Rams 10–7 6 Commanders 12–5 Buccaneers 10–7 7 Packers 11–6 Packers 11–6 That would mean Wild Card round would have been Eagles (14/3) v  Pack(11/6) Vikings(14/3) v Bucs(10/7) Commanders(12/5) v Rams(10/7) Instead of Eagles (14/3) v  Pack(11/6) Bucs(10/7) v Commanders(12/5) Rams(10/7) v Vikings(14/3) Then with the reseed it would mean that highest remaining seed would always draw the lowest remaining team.
