we had a chance to really right the ship and get this franchise burned so it can be rebuilt the right way (trading Moore / Burns)

 

We aren't an attractive team for a top head coach

We could have walked into this draft with a top 2 pick, the packers 1st round pick, Rams second round pick plus all the SF picks.... that ATTRACTS top tier coaching because they can put their own stamp on how the franchise will look. Imagine giving a Demeco Ryans or Ben Johnson that kind of draft capital to build an offensive or defensive juggernaut. 

 

We're not a top tier organization and will likely have at best a close to .500 record next year.... yay

Trading for baker was dumb.  Trading for cj was dumb as hell.  Trading for darnold was borderline retarded.  Picking up Sam’s option was dumb.  Jury is still out on shenault.  Dude didn’t do poo last year.  Fitt had made plenty of bad moves let’s be honest here.  

Do you listen to what they say. They are going to keep trying until they get someone at QB. Develop or trade. It's not easy finding or landing a franchise QB. They started with Teddie and who knows if that was Rhule or Brady or Teddy or the combination why that didn't work out. They tried for Stafford and even Watson, there was nobody else out there. When they got Darnold and gave him the extra year, it was a calculated risk. 18 mil for 1 year, but if he plays good that first year, he's getting 35+ mil a year with like 60-100 mil guaranteed. They took a calculated risk. Trading for CJ was again a calculated risk. A 9th overall pick maybe just needed a change of scenery. He's a good 3rd or 4th CB. We just needed him to start at the end, which was over his head. At least they are trying.

The trades to move up and down the draft have been smart. Not every move is gonna work out but the core is there and we might be a few moves and a good coach from making the playoffs. We almost made it to the end with what we had at the end.

So, who is the top tier coach you think they should attract, Hatbaugh, Payton ..?

both of those have pluses and minuses too…both are 60  one left when it got tough with his qb leaving and the other has his own issues with people.

you think Andy Reid  is going  somewhere ?

I dont really care who or what we draft, I just want this new coach and Fitt to have a plan and stick to it.

Rhule seemed to have a plan when he 1st came here, build the team then plunk in the QB. Then he seemed to panic and make swings that didnt make a lot of sense and his verbiage change to 'win now'.

So I dont care if we trade down for future pick next year and run with whoever at QB this year OR we trade up and grab a QB but I just want the moves to make sense and to seemingly have a long term plan.
