Yeah, the Raiders need a full on rebuild and there's no place for a coach on the wrong side of 70 in that. I think everyone involved there thought that team was a lot closer to competing than they actually were and that's why they hired Carrol and he brought in Geno then they drafted a RB high in the 1st. Those are all win now type moves for a team that proved nowhere close to winning now.

Pete Carroll fired.

Makes sense.  They are drafting their franchise QB, so they need to bring in a new HC too.  It's normally a package deal, if not a 3-way package with the GM too.

Geno Smith has an $8 mil guarantee due March 15th and the cap hit is not high for getting rid of him($18.5 mil total), so don't be surprised if they attempt to move him or cut him. I think the next HC will have a say in that.

TBH, I would very much like to get my hands on Smith to shore up the QB situation for at least a couple of years. Price dependent, of course.

Matt Ryan president of football operations for Falcons

Tom Brady for the Raiders 

Why do people think this works??

Matt Ryan is a smart dude. I think he’ll do well there.

By all accounts tom Brady is a moron.

john lynch is doing pretty well for himself. John elway too.

also titles are different across teams. Rich McKay has had like six jobs for the falcons he must have the best cocaine connection in Atlanta.

I may be really off on this, but I seem to remember Elway was ran out of the Broncos building and relieved of his duties several seasons ago.

Off the top of my head, why couldn’t it? Think Brady or Ryan would have signed Cousins to 100 mil and then used the 8th pick to overdraft Penix? 
 

I don’t really know about Brady, I was under the impression that he had a limited role there in Vegas. How much is he really involved?

Ryan seems to be intelligent and stable. 

The biggest challenge with former players coming into those positions might be will they be good with 100 hour work weeks?

It’s way worse than that.

they agreed to a contract with Kirk during the legal tampering period, still honored it even though his physical was horrible, panic drafted Penix when they realized Kirk couldn’t play from under center, and here we are.

Fontenot also knew his job was on the line this year so he traded a 2026 first ton double dip on the pass rush.

now Kirk is probably gone and Penix isn’t a good bet to be healthy to start next season.

just a disaster.

      Would be cool if Melo and Kon tied for the season league lead in 3’s.  Either that or Kon straight-up.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I love the bottom feeding approach.  Not to say I was the only one, but I was screaming to draft Coker and then screaming to get him in here as an UDFA.  There were criticisms about him, etc.  As a Gamecock baby (Dad was a Tight End for them when I was born) I was against Legette.  I wanted the kid from Georgia.   All that to say this:  I am afraid of drafting a WR (I spent some time today researching) a few of the top names: 1. Jordan Tyson.  MCL, ACL, NHL---he has injured everything he could that ends in "L" and some things not related to his body.  He will drop, and everyone will start getting excited around 15.   NO! take him off the board. 2. KC Concepcion.  I want to like him, but is he not John Metchie III II?  I can't stand drops. To me, the most important characteristic for a receiver is hands.  I do not buy the "He can be taught."  I disagree to a degree.  Catching a football at a high level when you are being hit by someone behind you as you run full speed across the field is more about concentration and focus than anything else. You gotta trust your eyes, your instincts, and your QB.  Hard to teach someone not to fear something that hits you that you cannot see.  Dropping passes gets into your head--that makes you second guess yourself.  if it doesn't, it should.  Either way, it is a mental issue.   3. Omar Cooper.  I like him enough, but at 19? No.  He is a good YAC guy with solid hands.  However, he had a good WR across from him, the best QB in the country, a pretty easy schedule (He had his best games against FCS schools) and I wonder how much of the route tree he ran.  I am torn, not sold.  Of the three just mentioned, he has the worst skillset but I would like him the best as our Z. Who then, do I want, you ask? If it has to be WR, trade back.  If you can't, draft the slow guy who can't get a good release.  1.  Denzel Boston.   If it has to be a WR at 19, I think I would take Denzel Boston.  His biggest criticism is the release (and 40 speed) but he had great hands and runs good routes. as the Z, which is what we need, he would be perfect because he could motion toward the LOS and even when on the LOS, he is off the ball.  Lets do some bottom fishing in Coker Lake: Round 2: Ted Hurst.  He is a model Z WR for this offense.  Drops too many balls to my liking, but as a second rounder, I can tolerate that a bit more than a first rounder.  Round 5: Kendrick Law (UK):  This is the guy I am most comfortable drafting.  His average route at KY was under 4 yards.  He is great at running after the catch.  Stats? don't look at the game stats--look at the measurables. A 42-inch vertical, a 10-foot-8 broad jump, and a 9.60 Relative Athletic Score place him among the most explosive receivers in this class. That kind of lower-body power, paired with his balance through contact and proven ability to generate yards after the catch, gives him a real foundation to develop beyond what Kentucky asked of him. I think they were considering drafting a WR in the first round.  I get it, but as with the tackles in round 1, "Buyer Beware."  I have not given up on XL but I am very concerned that his mind is not right for the NFL.
