Seems like he was fired bc they won today and missed out on the first overall pic.  Wonder if he was told to loose and refused.   

I don't think so. The team was complete ass and unmotivated all season.

I watched 3 Pats games this year for betting purposes. They checked out after the first 1-2 series everytime.

I will make another bet. Johnson will stay in Detroit.

I think it's going to be hard for him to turn down the chance to have Maye or Lawrence as his QB, but I absolutely could see him looking ahead and hoping whoever gets the #1 pick next year also fires their HC and he can get Manning.

I'd think he'd want Caleb too, but not sure he wants to deal with the Bears organization in such a tough division.

Both of those situations are with dumpster fire organizations. Same reason he didn't come here.

I assume you mean Bears and Jags, as the Patriots are anything but that.

The Jags have a lot of great offensive weapons though, far better than what we were offering up the last 2 years when we were hiring coaches.  I think when you look at Lawrence, Thomas, Etienne, and Bigsby, that situation would look mighty appealing to someone like Johnson who would look at that as his Goff, St Brown, Gibbs, Montgomery to work with.

Then combine it with their currently weak division and I think it's actually a pretty good opening for a good offensive coach to step into and do well in right away.

No, I mean the Pats and Jags. The Pats are indeed a dumpster fire. That's the second least talented roster in the NFL and it's been years of work getting it there. Make no mistake, that organization is bad.

Having a bad roster is not having a dumpster fire of an organization.  Yes of course Brady/BB had the most to do with it, but they still have 6 SB's and not too far removed from them.  They have/had trouble getting out of the BB regime, which isn't abnormal given how much he had control there, but I wouldn't put them in the same category as many of the poorly run franchises.

They also have a ton of cap room and a really good looking rookie QB.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
