Howell's scrambling ability and Ron's hot seat status combine to make me nervous. God knows Ron will run a QB into the ground. Washington has a much better receiver corps than Cam ever did but that OL has some serious questions.

CRA just recently spent an extended amount of time arguing to me that Rivera could be just as trusted to develop Bryce Young as Reich 😕

"But but Rivera is a good head coach"

 

Get TF outta here. He never was and never will be. He has Cam and Luke to thank for the longevity of his career. Without them, his head coaching career wouldve ended in 2013 or 2014.

Imagine wasting not one, but TWO hall of famers in their prime on the same team and not getting a superbowl. Rivera should have been canned after that Bills game where his defense let EJ Manuel of all people drive down the field for a game winning TD.

All I'll say is that I wasn't exactly happy about Howell landing with Rivera. I liked that o saw a clear path to him being the best QB on the roster pretty early on, but I didn't trust Ron to A) recognize that and B) develop him as an NFL QB. I hope Bieniemy wasn't just a product of Andy Reid.

You simply insisted someone explain to you how Ron would do it.

and I informed you Ron wouldn’t develop the QB.  He would hire a QB coach and an OC and they would do that job.   Which continues to be true.  How that would go? Depends on the hires.  And QB.  

so again, if you hire a defensive HC….which isn’t my preference….it comes down to who they hire to do it.  Which is what a defensive HC is supposed to do.

Yes.  Ron hired a QB coach and an OC.   Pretty well documented.  And Shula was largely regarded as good QB coach and move at the the time.   In hindsight did his hires and Cam lead to what we all wanted? No. But again, defensive coaches hire that job out.   That’s what they do and are supposed to do.  Doesn’t mean they hit on the right coaches.  Go look at the track record of 1st round QBs.  Or #1 overall.  Cam did somehow rewrite the record books as ROY and go on to be league MVP.   Wouldn’t call it the failure some pimp it as. 

But the boogeyman Ron has been gone for some time.  And Ron/Cam brought us the highest highs we have seen to date. But I prefer to talk about the offensive variant of Ron/Fox we just hired.  The relevant coach.

Yeah, we went through this "Rivera successfully developed Cam "argument already.

Like I said elsewhere, it's some of your finest bullsh-t 😂

There is being unintelligent and making an egregious error, but then it takes a special kind of stupid to blatantly call yourself out on it.

 

Ron is a great guy all around, but has always lacked the head coach gene, but got by on an immensely talented roster and being gifted a #1 overall generational QB specimen as his welcome to Carolina gift.

 

With that roster....damn, what could have been, with competence from the GM down to the coaching staff

It takes a “special kind of stupid” to admit your mistakes?

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
