In this type of circumstance, you have be honest with where the team's at if you're Tepper (which is obviously not happening)

I would quietly put Morgan in a position to make an honest assessment of the talent we have from now until season's end. Who is worth retaining into a new core that we can restructure from.  Fitt has disappeared from Panthers marketing material everywhere so I think the writing is on the wall he will be the first casualty.  

And if Sunday is a Texans loss coming off a bye, then I think a Steichen/Minshew loss & going to 0-9 will get Reich fired.  It's super rare, but I think it would be absolutely warranted if we can't muster any wins in this stretch. 

That would give Evero or Brown the opportunity to start off as interim against Chicago.  Strange times.

Why morgan?

He's been under good minds in Buffalo and he may have a better grasp on talent right now. 

Hard to place myself in the internal workings though.  I mean, if you're in Tepper's shoes and he doesn't seem ideal, then probably not but it would have to be someone.  GMs and scouting departments are doing a lot this time of year outside of just trade deadline work.    

I honestly wonder if purging our entire scouting department could be in the cards.  I mean, the last few drafts have produced so little.  Posted elsewhere, but We spent 5 picks last year on 3 guys already off the team (Corral, Smith, & Barnes).  We're not knocking out our 1st round picks anymore and our remaining draft hit rates are awful.

LMAO cmon guy are you serious right now?

 

I dig your optimism but this team is toast. We are the worst team in football just being real.

 

 

Never said likely, but it’s not impossible. If you’re inside that building then you have to believe that it is.

Honestly I like both Evero as Brown as HCs better than Reich.

The biggest problem I see is that we were told by the media, by Fitty, by Reich and probably by Tepper that we could win the South this year. And most of us believed it. Now that we’re 0-6 everyone’s pissed that they believed and want someone to pay. 
 

Here’s an idea; don’t believe the hype next time.

Don't steal their hyperbole, people want to riot. 

It's more provocative to say WE GAVE UP TWO 1sts, when in fact by all accounts its WAY better than the 49ers deal.

They get a pass because their team as a whole is excellent, and they have a top 3 offensive mind as the HC and play-caller. 

Giving up two firsts but getting one back means only losing one first.

Don't really get why that'd be difficult to understand unless you're deliberately trying to obscure the point.

A lot of us didn't.

I think the confusion is the cost to draft Young vs the cost of the trade.  We lost a first, swapped a first and used it to draft Young.  So the cost to draft Young was 2 firsts, DJ Moore, a 2nd, and a future 2nd.  The cost to swap and move up to pick 1 was a future first, Moore, a 2nd, and a future 2nd.

It always "costs" you a pick to draft a player though, so... 😕

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      This 1000%.  Hey who wants to sign with the guy that couldn't even get his client the guaranteed contract of a 3rd round pick?  Lmao

      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.
