One thing for sure: If he ever becomes a free agent, he'll have half the teams in the league lining up to pay him.

16 teams lining up to pay him? based on what lol, we don't even know if he's gotten a single offer.

The "Ben Johnson wanted nothing to do with Washington and Carolina" Crowd is truly quite weird... 

A week before his playoff game he was giddy like a little school girl talking about Adam Peters.. maybe he just doesn't want a HC gig yet.. and that's fine.  Because honestly, Commanders were looking like a good landing spot in terms of draft capital and cap. The stuff HCs should honestly be concerned with.  I'm not sure what his motivations were in turning down a gig this cycle and I'm sure when/if he does get one he will do well. I'm focused on what we have here.

Seeing as how ole Tepp wanted him so bad its probably a good thing he didn't come here he would look just as bad as his other HC hires... 

Sounds like he not ready for the big chair just yet, when the time is right if ever he will get his shot ..

whenever the huddle offers their takes on HCs I always side with the opposite

remember how excited this board was for Rhule? And (albeit less more so) about Reich?

remember how this board hated the idea of McCarthy (who isn’t great but let’s compare him with what we ended up with)

oh and don’t forget absolutely hating the idea of Reid and his mismanagement of McNabb and how he will fail miserably (I got utterly thrashed here for supporting that idea)

yea…I remember lol

Probably also worth noting that some of the quotes in this piece read like damage control on the Commanders part.

"See, he didn't turn us down. We turned HIM down! Yeah...that's right" 😕

Call it whatever we want. Maybe, “Thank God for unanswered prayers.” If some of the scuttlebutt is true, he is not good HEAD coach material.

It's only a "dodged bullet" if Canales is successful.

That's a question that won't be answered for a while.

You think if Johnson became available for an OC job, teams wouldn't step on people to hire him?

Hell, every team in the league has changed OCs in the last few years.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
