No decent candidates were going to sign knowing that Fox is likely done after this year, anyway. Rodgers probably understands how much Crossman sucked and why he was fired, so he'll probably change things for the better. Can't get much worse, anyway.

The sad truth.

we all have worked under someone and had reservations to the way they managed, and knew that when given the chance we would do better.

I hope thats true in this case.

Maybe the guy just needs a chance?

Since you cant do a 3 man wedge anymore, i could like to see a tier of two man wedges creating several different holes for the guy to run through..

Crossman was the assistant under Scotty and was promoted when he left. So we already know it can change with a promotion, good or bad. :lol: Oh well, fingers crossed. JR, that's what you get with only 1 year contracts available.

electro, it's not Fox & Co's stupidity ... it's JR's or our new president's. Should've made a decision about Fox and then we'd have more than 1 year contracts to offer.

Darin Gantt is dumb as poo. someone asked him why rodgers hire made sense and he replies "If Crossman wasn't good working under O'Brien, why is Rodgers bad after working under Crossman?"

So I told him, Crossman had the opportunity to be good learning from a good coach in O'Brien but just because he learned from someone good doesn't mean hes going to get it and its going to transfer. However if you are Rodgers and you learned from some dumbass and thats all you know then you aren't off to a very good start. Hopefully hes learned a few things before Crossman poisoned otherwise he won't be liked for very long.

He's been here one year, but all he knows about special teams is what he has learned from Crossman? :rolleyes:

      https://www.yahoo.com/sports/article/versatile-2nd-db-named-panthers-154026075.html Smith-Wade's ability to play corner, nickel and safety makes him valuable to a young defense trying to rebuild after finishing last in the NFL a year ago. "Chau took advantage of an opportunity,'' coach Dave Canales said. "He made tackles. He had an opportunity on an interception, and he made it.'' Our defense has got to come alive for us to have a chance of winning our Division!

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.
