...so, too, will about a third to a half of this roster. Are you all ready for that?

So long, Hoov. So long, Moose. So long, Pep and Smitty. So long, Diggs and Harris and Kasay.

New coach is going to want his guys, and usher out the expensive guys or guys who are long in the tooth. He'll want to build on Beason, Davis, and Gamble on defense and Gross, Kalil, Otah and the two running backs on offense.

I'm aware of it, and aware that next season would likely become a rebuilding year and, as such, would suck.

I'm prepared for that.

Smitty and Harris aren't going anywhere.

Kasay, Hoov, and Moose it's time.

Peppers, just get out.

I'm good with that.

i anticipate change....lots of it and i don't have a problem with this.

we will likely lose next year more than we will win. it will be acceptable losses, though. in a rebuilding you expect that.

i anticipate a complete change in the coaching staff...especially on offense and special teams. defense may also get yet another overhaul.

there will be player turnover as well as the new coach tries to make it his team.

i fully expect to see these guys gone: hoover, vincent, jake, mccown, moore, moose, jarrett, kasay, lloyd, peppers, lewis, diggs, landon johnson, anderson, kemo,

i wouldn't be surprised to see smith gone and traded for picks. there could be a couple others as well.

some moves will look like shear brilliance. other moves will be head scratchers. some will piss the majority of fans off.

in the end, though, it will be a team that we will like. there will be excitement over it and we'll have another shot at the playoffs in a couple years.

i'd be surprised if the new coach is anything like fox in personality. it will be someone with energy and hype. it will be someone that will have to change the dynamic of the team and get them energized.

camp with the new coach will be fun to watch. give the players time away from this season and all the turmoil and turnover and a new reason for optimism about the future.

yeah, the team will look different and it will take some getting used to but i'm ready for it. it isn't like it hasn't happened before and it's not like 3/4 of the league hasn't gone through this in the past 3 years. it happens when you have an organization that wants to put out a better product than what they have been. it's what happens when you have an organization that wants to win.

i just hope it happens. we'll know soon enough.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
