Keeping Campen likely increases our odds of resigning Bozeman. Win-win.

Let's hope Bozeman understands where were are cap-wise and what we still have to build.   In other words, let's hope he take a hometown discount over a bigger payday and having to uproot his new family.  Stability to some guys is more valuable.  We are talking about IOL too and not a skill position where the pay parity is glaring. If our offer is remotely in the ballpark, hopefully he stays.

These are competitively natured guys. Money is not everything and it will not buy everything. We have seen this time and time again with players and coaches during Tepper’s tenure.

Countless players (with options) would never fathom going to the Browns in the past and this is no different -

You can’t be a dysfunctional, losing franchise and just expect to pay for wins/success. That mentality has been a big part of the issue all along.

Your hatred of all things Panthers front office is skewing your perspective.

It's going to be interesting to see how this all plays out. I don't really have any dogs in the fight when it comes to OC or DC at the moment and I'm a big proponent of letting the HC get the staff together he feels he needs to get the team in shape.

That being said, under Rhule it became obvious pretty quickly where he'd screwed up on his hires. I don't think we'll see this here, though, as Reich is very versed in the pro game and the pro coaches around the league.

Rhule's biggest problem was he just didn't know how to coach on the field, and he poorly evaluated talent on the roster (i.e Robbie Anderson, not playing Foreman).  

Rhule actually had a pretty decent idea of how to build the team (outside of qb), he just didn't know how to get the performance out of the team.

One thing I will give Rhule credit for is he didn't leave us in worse shape then when he arrived from a talent and cap perspective, at least we have some foundations to build on.

It's faint praise for him and I can't even hand him that. He was a mistake on our part and his fault was that he obviously tried to take on something he was in no way prepared for.

In his defense, he's not the first, or the last, HC to move from strictly college experience to the NFL and flounder. He has a long list of compatriots. Best of luck to him at Nebraska, hopefully he and we have found better situations.

There is no debating how bad he was as a coach on the field.  He was in way over his head.  I'm just happy he didn't piss all over the furniture on his way out.  All I'm saying.

He mostly left behind old dorm room furniture and a couple of Jay-Z posters. Who'd have cared if he'd have pissed on that?

Oh lord the Jay Z thing was so dumb of him.  He was an imbecile, but at least we have a decent Oline now, and he accidentally signed a great runningback and he brought us Franki Luvu.

And I’d guess Reich will call plays.

Not according to him he's not.

he'd only do it if necessary i think it was, but it sounded like he was planning on trusting whoever it was to call the plays so the onus is on him to make sure he hires someone that he could trust to do it. unless he got someone green at the job who had a little bit of a learning curve. Like if he got Brian Johnson, Johnson has only called an offense in the college ranks so i'd think that Reich would want to be a bit involved in that.

Yeah, the list of college coaches who made a successful transition is very low.  In the modern day, its essentially Jimmy Johnson.  I suppose you could argue that Barry Switzer did, but he essentially took over a team that was already built.

Kinda why I'd say that decision isn't final yet.

Gotta see how things shake out as far as his staff...

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
