patience. This weekend we make our moves

Agree. I have thought for awhile now that Hurney and the scouting department already have their list of who they want to bring in, not just at CB but other positions as well.

This strategy carries risks, as the players they want may not come available, forcing us into the unenviable position of needing to make a trade, i.e. with the Eagles.

But rest assured they aren't just sitting on their hands doing nothing. Hurney is smarter than that.

Well in my opinion a talented player seeing the field for 13 games a year or so is better than having a less talented player play all of them.. I mean that's just the way I see it..Hayden's a decent CB, who also had one thing only one other CB on our roster has-size. Take out Gamble and we've got the Midget Patrol at the CB position. Not that I don't think Cap is a good CB, I just think he's better suited in the Nickel. I don't want to have to find out the hard way he ain't cut out for the starting job.

you'll have to take all of that up with Hurney.. I think him being injury prone and just an average CB says quite a bit after only 1 team out of 50 gave him a big 1 year contract..

just sayin.. ;)

with all that said, I don't think it's a dumb idea to wait and see what better options are available.. especially any younger talent with more upside.. when you talked with Hayden, are you sure he said he didn't want to sign with us for 1 year? (I kid..)

Hurney is an idiot. That's obvious. The problem is, it was said yesterday that hurney was smarter than every poster on this board. We're freaking really dumb.

yeah, because you sure just proved us wrong! lol

no doubt Hurney makes questionable decisions.. fans expect perfection. curious where that idea ever came from, besides armchair GMs..

Hurney may not bring any F/A 's in !

Yeah posters want this guy or that guy

But Rivera is in his 1st season as a teaching coach with hand picked teaching coaches,he may want to teach what he has.

The expectation bar will never be as low as it is now .

Rivera needs to win more than 2 games to improve the team

And ever season after he will need to win more games to show improvement

So the plan could be teach what you have ,win 3 games ,and get a top 10 pick next draft.

Will not help ticket sales or give fans that 1 season turn around

But could establish a very solid and young Rivera team

While giving a full season of deciding which FOX players will not fit Rivera's system.

I was listening to Gil Brandt on NFL network tonight and he was talking about the Panthers. He was talking about Clausen not being starter material in the NFL but the germaine part to this discussion was that he said Hurney over the last 5 years has drafted more players who are starting for us than any team in the NFL. Whe it comes to stats he usually knows more than most so I would believe him. But it belies the fact that Hurney makes poor drafting decisions and attests to the fact that he sticks to his philosophy to build through the draft. It pays off most of the time. Maybe he isn't going to bring anyone in at CB but go with who we have. After all what will a slightly better CB give us, 1 more win. We aren't talking Revis here but a guy few others even wanted to pick up.

      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.
