How's this for fixing the O

It's also looking like we are going to be hiring a defensive minded coach again. Ill put my trust in them for finding defensive talent later in the draft or bringing some in via FA.

Bring a good offensive coordinator/QB coach and fix the offense this year and get them some experience. Next draft can be dedicated to strictly on defense.

I'm not a big supporter of WR #1. But Green is definately a rare talent that doesn't come around often. We need to come to grips that Smitty does not want to be a #1 anymore and will start to decline. Green is capable of fulfilling the #1 role in the future. We suck at drafting WRs and Elite WRs rarely hit the market.

You make good points. Excellent points.

The problem is that, contrary to JR, we don't need a superstar. We need a bunch of above average players to plug roughly half the spots on the team.

Orton for a 5th round pick :D

They want a 2nd for him...but I think we should work with moving a player not not a draft pick. I'm fine with the new regime blowing up the team a little more to get an offense going. Honestly, I think Orton would be a great fit for Green if we get him. Orton's definitely not a long term fix but he can be viable for a few seasons until we find a franchise QB in a future draft. A Kolb, Fitzpatrick, or Flynn could make sense too

    • Agreed.  Unless a DE is a Julius Peppers type, it takes a couple of years to really develope.  I am hoping we can get one to go with Prince and Scourton.  Or another Interior Dlineman might work as well.  
    • Great work Dan. This is the first time in a long time heading into day 1 of the draft that I don’t care which way we go. 
    • I don't think it's about Bryce's ego. I think it's about Tepper's. Bryce was Tepper's draft pick. Everything that's been done has been to protect the image.  New HC with a shiny contract fired after he loses interest immediately after he supposedly drafted his guy. He can't make an offense for him because he's the QB that fits his style of offense. Bryce's rookie season is one of the worst in history. It was obvious he wasn't ready. He was named starter without any real camp competition. No real preseason reps. Coach keeps playing him despite terrible play.  A new coach and GM are hired on the condition that Bryce is the guy. No searching for a new QB. It's Bryce or else.  Bryce is benched year 2 for multiple games, replaced by Dalton who stunk it up proving he's washed up, then Bryce comes back in after Dalton injures his thumb and finishes the season. Dalton's contract is up, plenty of younger, higher upside FAs available. Dalton is brought back 2 years guaranteed as a "mentor". Jack Plummer, so bad in 24', brought back to camp in 25' and lo and behold, he's still terrible and has no business being on a field.  Other QBs brought in, the most recognizable being Hooker. All those brought in so bad even the PS can't hold them.  And now, after 3 years of bottom tier QB performance, with Dan saying we need to improve our QB room, we bring in a QB that's not passed for over 2500 yards in either of his 2 seasons as a starter, before he's benched and sent to the life of being a backup.  The common denominator in all of this is there's never been any real competition here, even when it was justified. After last year, it's debatable if he's starting QB material. Good moments and horrific moments. From one minute to the next, you don't know what you're gonna get.  So if you ask yourself why some of us feel bringing in KP is a joke, it's because it looks how it's always looked. That everything being done is to prove that David Tepper was right when he made the choice to draft Bryce and everything done since has been to protect that decision. Bringing in another QB with even the potential to challenge Bryce was always out of the question.
