I think first and foremost, is that we have to establish some type of identity for this team. I’m not sure what that identity will be, but we have to start somewhere. We should probably go back to playing defense and running the ball even though that is an antiquated way of playing football in 2024, at least we were doing that well when we were doing it. The days of the cardiac cats.

Not really. They still have Jennings and Deebo. Plus Pearsall is now playing. 

I actually don't think they are in panic mode at WR. 

This is their year to try and win the SB, they're going to have to pay Purdy after this season, who knows what CMC's future will be (assuming he can get back this year for the playoff run), and their overall cap situation is going to get ugly soon.

Trying to replace Aiyuk with Jennings and Pearsall and thinking that's good enough to help turn around a struggling team in their final year of their best SB window would be criminal.

Horn can be one of those guys that we can build the defense around. We could use him as a captain for a young  defense because he’s expressed that he wants to be here and that he was upset that we let some players go on defense.

I would normally agree but he has not played well this year(in very challenging conditions, mind you) and he looks like he is starting to make some business decisions. I can't blame him, TBH.

The organization SHOULD have better insight into his mindset but if I started to get a whiff of him checking out, I would move on. His value is only going to get lower over time and we classically make this mistake of not moving players when they aren't going to be or don't want to be part of our future(Peppers, Norman, Burns, etc). The only time we recently got very good compensation for a player was CMC and then we proceeded to squander the picks we received.

I would like to keep him around but if he isn't into it, it's time to move on. No hard feelings, it just didn't work out here for a multitude of reasons.

One day we have to actually rebuild and stop trading everything 

As I have said a few times now, there is no rebuilding. There is nothing left to "rebuild." This is now just plain building. 

There is no rush because there is no obvious end to this in sight. Furthermore if guys are not into the future of this whole fiasco, get compensation and move on. There is no reason to keep guys around that have no desire to be here. It's as bad for us as it is for them.

What about adding the owner??

You have to eliminate him from the team decision making process somehow because he sucks at it. Hiring someone much smarter than him and has proven they know what they are doing would be a good start. Until that happens I have no faith that anything will change.

They actually do have a smart FO that doesn't seem to make panic decisions. They aren't the Jets. They know that this can continue past Shanahan if need be.

I don't think they are likely to make this sort of move at all.

If we were rebuilding that would be something. We're retooling and that means Dave doesn't even know WTF is going on. This team is beyond broken. When the best GM you can hire is partially responsible for the turd you already have, you are only going to get worse.

100%. I HOPE(but don't believe) that this was just window dressing/PR on the turd that they likely knew this was going to be. If anyone in that organization had any shred of sense, they could have seen this coming.

Sadly, I kept saying all offseason this was the worst roster in franchise history. I was very surprised so many posters pushed back on that. I am not reveling in being correct, I am just genuinely perplexed that people didn't see it.

I have said(and am still trying to get a sportsbook to give me odds on) and maintain that we are not likely to see a winning season before 2030.

Not to turn this into a crying moment, but given the recent draft classes and tepper......... I dont believe its possible (outside dumb luck) this team can turn into a winner. 

i listened to buck the other day and he said in past years you could take a team like carolina and grid them into a better/winnning team. But NFL rules banned most of the grid and its a school deal now, you can not toughen up these guys. You have to find another way......carolina has no idea what way to use. 

 

its unfair to judge, but sanders just had his best game and wallance is still racking up tackles....plus XL is getting open and there doesnt need to be a 3 year wait. I mean that class looks better than 2023 right now.........

if the team needs talent and you have the worst talent identifiers in the league.....man that is the kill shot...

      Fvck Bryce Young

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Idk man, I think it’s necessary.  There’s people working 9-5s everyday that get told poo about what they aren’t and what they’re not capable of and they’re working for scraps.  These guys are making millions.  People are watching and invested because their team and fandom is a part of their identity and a big source of pride.  When someone like Bryce comes in and is given chance after chance after chance after proving he is not worthy of the position he’s being gifted, and he continues to be the biggest reason above any that we are losing, yeah…  I think it’s fair to call a spade a spade.  Am I saying Bryce the person is trash?  Bryce the person is a piece of poo?  Absolutely not.     I came up in an era, especially in basketball, where if you were fuging up people heckled the poo out of you.  I played in rec leagues as a teen where the fuging parents were calling kids trash and yelling poo like “TURNOVER!!!  TURNOVER!!!”  “CANT DRIBBLE!”  “CANT SHOOT!”  And that’s adults screaming that poo to kids like we were in the fuging Rucker lol.🤣🤣🤣  I went on to play basketball at a collegiate level and with professional players in different settings.  What those experiences as a kid taught me was to see if there is any merit to what people are saying, and if there is, then work my ass off til they can’t say that anymore.  Come back better, tougher, harder.  And I did.  If kids can figure that poo out, an adult calling another adult who is bad at his job while making millions and millions of dollars will be just fine.

      I'm 43.... I've lived half my life if I am lucky... will we ever have another team that we will fall in love with?!?

      By TheBigKat · Posted

      I have tried to like this team, lord knows I have tried. BY9 is a nice young man, if I had a daughter he can take her to prom, but he ain't QB1 and he's not Cam or Delhomme Chuba is a average RB, he isn't Stephen Davis, he isn't J-Stew McMillan has the makings of a good WR, but he isn't 89/Moose D. Brown is a great player, but if the game was on the line I want Kris Jenkins       I miss this brand of football, even in the bad Jake games the games were entertaining It has been nearly 8 years now of watching numb football

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm not so sure. Something about the whole Frank/Bryce situation seemed off from day 1. Bryce didn't fit Frank's QB mold as well as Stroud, then he basically gives up when Bryce is named starter in preseason but gets virtually no reps in games. Then he looks completely unprepared and Dalton steps in in Seattle, has a decent game under immense pressure, and it's right back to Bryce. All his mechanics are terrible and he's having the worst rookie season ever and Frank doesn't bench him?  You dont have to be a conspiracy theorist to know Bryce wasn't ready to be a day 1 starter. Everything with Bryce, then coaches, and the FO seemed forced.
