That may depending on who's available that will be willing to compete for the starting spot. They will most certainly add another rookie to the room and Fitterer will not play that 2 vet competition bs again because Tepper will not allow it. This is about to get interesting. 

okay...unpopular question here but : What are the chances that Vet is Sam...again?  lol

@kungfoodudeI'm sure you're as "whelmed" as I am with this hire.

I wanted Steichen.

But whatever.

At least it's not anyone like Matt Rhule.

Let's see what OC / DC he hires. 

Yeah, I mean it's fine. Not the big exciting splash but we hired the first offensive background head coach in NFL history. That is finally a change.

Hopefully he puts together a very good staff. That should be the big benefit of him.

I'll never understand the undue Wilks hate. It's more rooted in emotion than logic.

That said, Frank was my first choice with Wilks second.

I don't think it's necessarily hate at all. A lot of people see him as another Fox and Rivera, both guys who were loved in the locker room and underwhelmed on the field. He beat teams with horrible run defenses and had no other game plan for those that had good ones. Personally, I don't consider winning the division with a losing record winning anything.

I feel very underwhelmed by this hire. Wilks would have probably felt the same.

Andy Reid, Bruce Arians, Pete Caroll times two, Bill Belichick, Gary Kubiak, Tony Dungy,Jon Gruden, and Dick Vermeil were all retreads who won the big game and that's just this century.  In fact i'd say it's more common than not that a coach who isn't coaching for the first team that hired him wins the superbowl.  I like Reich and hopefully we give him someone better than Darnold to work with

VERY interested to see how he plans to deploy the offense.  Is he going to craft it & play-call? Or is he going to find a younger guy to run with one built around his framework?  And who would that be.  

His role in our offense & the OC hire becomes mission critical now.  Hopefully he has some good dudes in mind.

Yeah, Wilks would have been a feel good story had he crushed through the easy schedule and won 9-10 games on his way to playoff berth. Instead....it felt like the old Fox/Rivera days.

I would say he is an option.  I'm sure the FO is open to it but will Sam be? 

I think he would.

I mean...he's already familiar with the players on team and I don't think he'd care to have to pack up and move elsewhere again so soon after finally getting the 2nd half of his couch.  😏

      Jabrill Peppers Available

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.

      Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
