JR: Marty, here are the qualities I am looking for in our next coach.

Marty: Wow. I dunno, Mr. Richardson. Coaches like these don't grow on trees.

JR: I know. They grow in the NFC South. Find him.

Marty: Got it, boss!

JR: It is looking more and more like we could wind up with the first overall pick. You remember, the pick you nearly traded to climb up into the draft last year to take Clausen. Fortunately, nobody returned your calls.

Marty: No problem, Big Cat, I changed my cell phone carrier.

JR: I think you missed my point. Anyway, who at the top of the draft fills our needs?

Marty: I was watching the College Football Championship Series, you know, formerly NCAA I-AA, and there is this kid from Villanova...

JR: I was referring to the first rounder--possibly the first pick in the entire 2011 NFL draft.

Marty: I know! I feel pretty sure he will be there when we pick. No need to trade up when you pick first, that is what I always say.

JR: Have you researched Andrew Luck?

Hurney: Another QB? Well, I have heard of him, but he plays on the West Coast and their games are on late. Besides, we have 2 QBs from last year's draft. This kid from Villanova, on the other hand...

JR: Forget Villanova! I didn't even know they played football until 15 minutes ago. Forget the first pick. Who are you lining up for me to interview as our next coach?

Hurney: Considering my new contract is set for a cost of living increase, I am looking to save the Big Cat some coin in this department. Hear me out. Tom Knotts. There was a time when his salary might have been too high, but we can get the winningest coach in NC history for about $50K per year.

JR: That is high school! We need a pro coach!!

Hurney: I did some research, and most of our players actually played in high school. I figured...

JR: Forget what you figured! There is no way a glorified 16-year old baby sitter/probation office with a whistle is going to run this team! What about Schottenheimer, Cowher, Harbaugh, Fisher?

Hurney: I don't think any of them has high school experience, but I will check.

JR: I tell you what: Forget the research on QBs, coaches, and cheerleaders. Get me some names of potential GMs!!

Hurney: Seriously, JR? My job? Well, I...I...hear Matt Millen is available.

JR: That would be an upgrade.

THIS CONVERSATION ACTUALLY HAPPENED, I THINK PROBABLY. :eek:

Reminding everyone to have a great Holiday and not step back and laugh at your problems from time to time.

      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.
