Reich is established and all that. Sure! But until he wins the big one, I don't see him as having that much more success than lots of coaches who have never won it, Ron Rivera and John Fox included. Once he actually gets to and wins a Super Bowl as the HC, then I'll give him some props for being "successful," but he at least has to get to one.

I mean he's 41-35. Whoopdy frickin doo! I hope that he's way better than during his next five years (assuming he makes it that long).

There ya go, dawg, moving the goal posts again. Everyone on the Huddle would give their first born just to have consecutive winning seasons. /s

Actually 40-33-1 If I remember correctly.

Who were you hoping for?

What impressed me over all is that Frank Reich is a smart HC. He's also very human. His trouble hearing and understanding the (rather stupid) question about the playing surface at the Bank with his saying, paraphrasing, it's not you, it's me with bad hearing had me instantly on his side. I am SSD and, when in public, I end up saying that at least once a day. I knew what the guy was saying because I had close captioning on.

Yeah, he probably hasn't done player evaluations inasmuch as it relates directly to the Panthers, but I kind off have a hard time believing that he hasn't scouted Darnold or Corral before. 

With Darnold, he did.

I'm sure his attitude had changed since then....hopefully....

I don't get what you mean by moving the goalposts, I've been consistent about Reich from the beginning. He'll get respect as the coach, as I've always given the coach time to do his thing before calling for his head. I'm more patient than most. He'll get his two years from me, unless he outright bombs out of the gate. Admittedly, I may appear more critical on a curve, because it's not like Reich doesn't have a body of work. He's also arguably coming into a situation that is decidedly better than when Rivera or Rhule took over the show. He certainly has more exoerience, and as such I believe that expectations should be somewhat higher coming out the gate.

Harbaugh.

When it became obvious pretty early that we weren't getting him, I decided that I'd personally like one of these "young offensive minds" that had been mentioned like Johnson, Steichen, or Kafka. Even though he was an OC, I could've been sold on Demeco also. 

BTW, the disparity is playoff wins/losses.

I mean, I can't get excited over his overall record. He was also key in the decision-making and personnel also, so I can't give him a complete pass on that. 

I told someone in another thread last week that from where I'm sitting Reich has a lot to prove, and I believe that. His record doesn't exactly scream "success" to me. As far as that goes, he's closer to Fox and Rivera than Harbaugh.

Ah, @top dawg, you didn't catch the /s at the end of my comment. I was teasing. Slow down, bud. Stress is a killer. And, yes, we all want a SB but IMO we'll also cheer when there are two consecutive winning seasons. We're allowed.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Cpt slay a ho · Posted

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
