Coaching or Recruiting Issue???

Do the recruiters know how to identify talent?  Coaches need to play some of the guys on the bench who may be hungry to play the game of football.  When you do the same thing over and over you get the same results.  Give the rookies a chance.  The only thing we have to lose- Is another game. Right?  Keep Pounding!!!

I think the issue is using analytics to draft ATHLETES rather than old school scouts choosing the best FOOTBALL players. 

Except at QB where they did the exact opposite and drafted a guy with none of the athletic measurables but just assumed he could translate his college production because super processor PG mentality, nevermind the reality that he'll no longer enjoy his team having a massive talent advantage over nearly every opponent.

I don't know that we are really even drafting athletes.  We are if you only look at 2/3rds of the standard athletic profile.  Size?  Check.  Long distance straight line speed?  Check.  Any sort of quickness or change of direction metrics?  Throw it out.  We only draft guys who dont test for those.  Weight and 40 time is plenty.

    • That should have been this year. Tough to sell to anyone worth getting when this crew is going into year 3 on the hot seat. I still think keeping Evero will sink them all after last year's showing. If/when he is scapegoated they need to show improvement or it's likely to be so eone else's problem next year. I do agree in principle tho, it all should have happened after last year's problems. 
    • I've listened to some things that have calmed the "Bryce was flat out terrible" to just "he was really bad" in Week 1. It's Year 3 though, and that shouldn't be the barometer. I've got 1% hope left for Bryce, and that's just blind homerism coming out.  I'm scared that as much emphasis as the team places on advanced stats and PFF that the team *doesn't* think Bryce was that bad in Week 1. Couple that with so many of the QBs in the league looking rough, offense being down in general, and I feel like there's a lot of "what if's" going on in the building instead of facing the music.  Lose Week 2, and we should switch the main focus back to building/churning the roster, evaluating young guys, and hoping our next QB can have a Jayden Daniels level of impact. As we're all well too aware of, QB is a crapshoot a lot of the time. Admit we made a bad pick, and go draft another. And another. Repeat until correct.     
    • I wouldn't want any of those starting as a rookie on day 1.  That said, we need a vet, that is not Andy Dalton, that can be the starter while a prospect grows and learns on the sidelines.
