We could have kept Rhule until the end of the season and had the number one pick.  We are looking at a long rebuild. The benefits of sucking in '23 will go to Chicago. We will be filling multiple holes w/ minimal draft picks. Tepper is the worst owner in the league. He should be doing the opposite of what he thinks since every decision he  makes is bad. 

That would have been a big "screw you" to Steve Wilks.

He may not have earned the head coaching job here, but he did at least deserve the chance to do so.

As to expectations, if you're going into this season having any at all, it's probably a mistake.

This is a total reboot with a new staff, new quarterback and everything. Who knows what the first season will look like?

Me? I don't care.

I just want to see progress that builds toward next season.

That's when expectations can really start.

But he did. What exactly did he do that was not positive?  He didn't get the job because they wanted a younger offensive mind from day one. He was never given an actual chance to get the job short of blowing out every single opponent he faced. Like I said, giving him false hope was another stupid Tepper move.

The only reason he is DC in SF right now is because Tepper gave him a chance to show what he had. The guy isnt HC material, I didnt even care for him as our DC under Ron. Before he was brought onto Rhules staff he had been out of the NFL since 2019 and was a DC at missouri, not quite a dream job.

For one, he was committed to a DC who was more of an old friend than a good coach.

Wilks did a great job in the short term. I'm not convinced he would have worked out long term though, especially after seeing some of those late season games against better teams.

I don’t know if they gave him false hope. They liked him but wanted to see who else was out there. I think that was made clear.

Regardless, Wilks with Holcomb and whoever else at OC was not the best plan for developing a rookie QB. Frank came in with specific names of coordinators he’d bring in (according to Fitt) which ultimately is what won him the job.

Just because it has never happened does not automatically mean it can't. Peyton was 3-13. Well Peyton was on a crappy team. This is not a crappy team.

 

If Bryce even sniffs OROY, this team is fighting for the Playoffs.

 

What I'm hearing is a bunch of people that would rather be "Realistic" and right. Then "Optimistic" and wrong. Play scared and you lose. What does a fan lose by being optimistic? And why does being optimistic seem to scare so many of you?

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
