I said Penix seems to be.  He made some great plays.  He made some not so great ones.  To small of a sample size to be sure though.  But if I were a Falcon fan, I would be hopeful at least.   

Did they keep Morris?  I thought they hired him after firing Smith in Jan of last year.  Might be misremembering though.  

Morris was their interim before but he was the Rams DC for a stint because they hired Smith instead.

Jaguars are a clusterfug. How do you not fire Baalke along with Pederson.

And as a Trevor Lawrence dynasty owner, please get him a good coach.

 

Their owner (or his son at least, who helps run the franchise) is too busy trying to play wrestling promoter to care.

Morris was coach of the Bucs post-Gruden. I think he had 3 years there and produced an underwhelming team with rumored discipline problems across the roster. He isn't going to work out there either, but that's fine. They can hold on to him forever. Some people are just not cut out for the job of being the head honcho and the tone setter.

People forget how terrible he was in Tampa. 

  • 3-13
  • 10-6 (No Playoffs)
  • 4-12

Then he went 4-7 as Atlanta's interim. My guess is they implode next season, especially now that they have the whole Penix/Cousins cap situation on their hands.

I almost fell out of my chair when I read Baalke was still there. 

I think Baalke has actually done a nice job of acquiring talent which the Jags do have. They hit a home run with Brian Thomas Jr, Travon Walker is trending up, I think Lawrence is overrated but he has shown flashes. A GM's job is to acquire talent, it's the HC job to make them perform.

Fair I just don’t see it personally but he certainly could prove me wrong.
 

Good call, for some reason I thought he was interim the year before but that was way back in 2020.

Not sure if this was shared elsewhere, but the Bears have asked permission to interview Mike McCarthy of the Cowboys.

To me, he seems like a better fit there. 

 

Jerry should keep him and get a qb. Their biggest problem is the qb.

Could not believe that I could not find a "Black Monday" thread except the one about Mayo.  I have some dirt that I love because I hate New Orleans--they stole our basketball team, they give us hurricanes, and they are stupid. And from Google Earth, New Orleans looks like the nation's twat.  For reference, Tampa Bay is just as bad about the hurricanes, but they did not steal our basketball team and they are more like a venereal wart on the nation's penis--big difference.  Sorry for the offensive metaphors--had to be said.

Now more facts with commentary:

  • Mayo out in New England.  While he was never a coordinator, could he be a candidate for the DC job here?
  • Vrabel to interview in New England.  This is very significant because before the Mayo firing, Vrabel was considered an option in New Orleans.  They wanted him BAAAD.
  • Jaguars fire Pederson.  He deserved it.
  • Giants to keep head coach (Daboll) and GM (Schoen)
  • Bengals fire Defensive Coordinator (Amarumo). 

 

If Vrabel is a hot commodity,  no way he goes to New Orleans I think.  He would want to go to someone with a young talented qb, so it seems either Chicago or New England would be a more desired target.

I read a Saints' forum and they were talking like Vrabel was heading to the Big Easy until Mayo went sour (see what I did there?).  I would want the Bears' job--but I really like Maye.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.

      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.
