"Speculation around the league" that we've reached out to John Harbaugh

Well that's about 10 wins on 17 games so that just carries my water for me. That's how bad the NFCS was this year. I am not trying to say he was good but just good enough.

You're right. So it just Corbett desolving as the year went on? 

I think Cousins is very clearly washed up. He's a lesser Andy Dalton. You can see how much the Falcons thought of him as they arranged a deal so he can be cut by March.

I don't think there is any real reason to attach OL issues to the problem. Not overtly, anyway. We had at one point in the season(and may still) had the most OL combinations start in the NFL. We featured multiple trash heap players and PS call ups.

I think the bulk of the blame was predictable playcalling and extremely poor QB play by us.

I agree but 5-3 in eight games is still enough to take the division if they played him all year. Again it's not because Cousins is great but that the NFCS was terrible. 

I presumed all of that and the issues at RG on top.  Along with it being later in the year when teams generally get more dailed in.

That's not a realistic scenario of extrapolating outward nor would they be playing such an easy schedule. He played two teams with winning records during those eight games. The other three teams they played with above .500 records Penis Jr. played. I think you will see that although there will be ample QB opportunities available in free agency, he will not be getting signed as a starter.

The Corbett complaint is massively overplayed. It's a significantly smaller issue than the playcalling, QB play and, as you said, our predictability.

Again, wasn't propong him up. Just saying taking the NFCS could have earned Morris a chance to take another shot at QB next season. Yes the math is guessing but he only needed 4 more wins to take the division. IDK, someone always takes a shot on overpaying Cousins. It shouldn't happen but it keeps happening.

I agree but the play at that spot has gotten worse.

He’s going to Miami. No taxes

I've stood up for Dave quite a bit and believe he has potential, but if Harbaugh is open to coming here then it's a no brainer.  You hire him.  I think the Ravens are absolutely delusional.  Harbaugh is one of the best coaches of all time in my opinion.

Did you watch Dalton this year? Lol. Dude is the epitome of washed up, Cousins right now is 10x the QB Dalton is. I think Cousins is still better than current Bryce. Horribly overpaid and I wouldn't want him to be our plan A or B at QB, but I'd take him on a cheaper contract for a year or two easily, even if it's just to upgrade the backup position. As mediocre as Bryce has been he was good enough to get 8 wins as a starter. Dalton, I truly don't think would win us more than 1-2 games in a 17 game season based on how he played this year. Independent of Bryce/starter position, Dalton needs to be put to pasture and upgraded on badly.

That's why he's still on the team.  No chance of him taking over.  Honestly if you drew a name out of a hat and signed the guy, there's a chance he'd eventually start for this team.  An upgrade could happen by accident.  So it seems deliberate that no attempt to upgrade has been made.

There was a time when this organization had respect and could attract good talent but we don’t live in that world anymore.  Doubt anyone of with other options would come here.

I think the biggest loss was BC. He fills in at average to above average for so many roles. That one hurt. We need to find another guy like that in the draft.

Cousins is on his last legs at 38. His physical abilities seem to be in clear decline.

Cousins is, at very best, 4% better than Ghost of Dalton. Watch those games again, you will see the same general physical decline. They are both old as hell. It's not like everyone can be Brady/Rodgers.

Cousins is a lateral movement from Dalton. I am not interested at all.

BC's always hurt but they did lean on him and Corbett this year.

Sorry but Cousins is what Dalton was 2 years ago. Dalton couldn't even play 1 quarter this year without being hurt and he deffinatly couldn't play 8 games the last 2 years. He is vastly declined but Dalton isn't even playable anymore even if he could stay healthy. That's who Cousins will be soon but not this year.

I still think Cousins could have pulled off 1 more win than Penix and tsken the division.

If we're the only playoff team that has reached out, that kind of makes us by default the most attractive option.

[DeadpoolPanther]

Word is he is going to want to bring his own gm. That has Atlanta or Miami written all over it. Really hope he doesn’t end up with the Falcons he will get that group over the hump fast.

Lmaoooo...even if that's the case you think Harbaugh is gonna tolerate Bryce after having Lamar as his QB the last couple years? I think not
