Here's the Win-Win

I think it is a sign of quality cognitive processing when people who have been trained with propaganda and "alternative facts"point fingers and insult people by referring to political figures that they have been conditioned to hate--when the party they represent is going bat poo crazy.  (this is related to an inappropriate comment on this thread that proves to me that some people should sue their schools for malpractice--that is all I have to say about it).  Having said that, I think Dalton will give us some measure of normalcy to measure our team.  The OL?  check.  The WRs?  I think they could be good, but we don't know because the passes have not been arriving on time -- or at all.  I think we need a stud TE (we need to run two tight sets that can create problems for the defense.  Sanders could be one of them--a player who could be tough for a LB to cover, so they have to bring in their dime package (CBs) if we had another offensive threat.  Now, with 2 TEs and CBs replacing LBs, our running game could be elevated.  To me, it is a need, but we should be scoring 23-27 points a game if we had a good QB, imo.

Win-win is Dalton gives us the best chance to evaluate Mingo, XL, Brooks, Sanders (not miles), DJ, Theilen and our OL. Whether we win 4 games or 8, knowing what we have in our offensive players is far more important than trying to save Bryce's career. 

I think 4 wins is really probably an extreme best case scenario. I said 3-5 before the season but I am thinking 0-3 is a lot more realistic.

I do believe we are indeed as bad as we look. The offense will improve but the team will still be very bad overall.

All I'm going to expect at this point in time is a football team and most importantly an NFL offense that is watchable. I have no other expectations and certainly nothing even approaching the realm of playoffs. Just don't embarrass us.

This. After what we've seen so far this season, mediocrity would be a big step forward.

the league has to step in and intervene since this isn't a professional level football product.

Sorry. When has this ever happened? and no, this isn't the worst team ever. This isn't the worst run for a football team ever.

There's always been teams who stay at the bottom of the barrel for a long time.

I see people say this like it's a possibility, but it's a pipe dream with no chance of it happening.

Short of some major ethical or legal issues, the league isn't going to step in and make him sell.

So your theory is that Dalton is going to turn us into a borderline playoff contender

Which will force the league to step in and do something about Tepper because it proves he screwed things up until then?

Even though turning us into a playoff contender would kinda be the opposite of being a dumpster fire of a  franchise that needs the league to step in and do something about it?!?!?!

It's just so crazy it might work!

No shot in hell at the playoffs.  The nfc south is suddenly formidable again, excluding all of our problems.   

Fortunately, l can settle for a qb who can throw 25+ yds at this pt.

Yeah barring serious injuries to the other QBs in the division, we are not competing with NO, TB, or ATL this year.  Feels like playoffs are about as likely as the Vinny season.

    • Outside of cerrato, I do like our draft overall. Hard to get can't miss draft picks when you pick late in the draft
    • Very True--and I am a former HS English teacher.  
    • Not a Moore fan-but he had a few good games last year-but I want players that scare you--Renfrow's route running and intelligence, Legette's size, speed, and strength, AT's intelligence and route running, Coker's body control, strong hands, and abilty to win contested catches, and TMac's size, body control, and ability to find soft spots in zone coverages.  Horn gives them the ability to stretch the field and he plays special teams.   Moore has a nice smile and can dance.  He filled in well last season, but to get better as a team, you have to upgrade your players.  I think Moore is a bottom of the roster guy who got bumped when we drafted 2 WRs and signed a legit free agent.  Here is the thing--TMac makes us better because he is great against the zone--man?  Good luck with that.  AT's role can be reduced, and that is probably a good thing.  He can specialize in situational football. Coker?  Just getting started. XL?  Just getting started.  Drafting TMac was probably a bit of a wake up call, but XL will be better as the 2. Renfrow?  I see him splitting reps with AT--keeping both fresh and giving different looks. Horn?  Watch the safety cheat his side when he is in the game--I see a young Steve Smith type in him, but he has yet to play a game.  I hear that Morgan loves him.
