Acceptance & Moving Forward

I'm not looking to inspire and I'm not looking to piss all over the place...just laying out a few points:

-This is not the NBA. Teams do not go out and acquire 1 guy who becomes the answer to everything. Yes, Cam played like crap and his attitude or whatever you want to call it can be disputed, but get over it on both sides. He is our franchise QB not a savior and hopefully he's developing into a strong leader and lethal player. Again, this is not the NBA. The offense, defense, and st all played like utter crap and they've done so many times before. One guy doesn't make a franchise but they can help make a dynasty and it's typically after the fact in the NFL. After the wins, after the super bowls...it's after the success.

-The bigger issue at hand however: COACHING & MANAGEMENT

Coaches have the opportunity to inculcate values and characteristics of a team along with developing strategy and game plans. The team has clearly not learned to communicate during games on-the-field like we did during a certain regime...but its year two. The problem is we don't seem to adapt and grow...or at least not from my perspective. This is the biggest all around problem

-Look forward and grow some skin all around. From top to bottom in this organization. We don't need to implode because of this 1 week 3 regular season game. Again let's just move on. If you find yourself sulking about the team sulking then you haven't moved on. So let's at least do that as fans and hope the team also does so (I'm pretty confident they will)

-Fox was 10-9 at this point, Seifert 8-11, Dom 10-9 and we didn't have a "savior" or whatever you want to call it.

-Accept the realities of having a guy like Cam. People are either going to try to tear him up or unabashedly love him in the national spotlight. Every guy that says something negative: Fugg himm!! All the homers: OMG you're so blind!! f*ck that attitude...again move on ladies and gentlemen and let's not get so damn pissy

...and most importantly accept the fact that this team is not there yet and by simply drafting one guy will not do that. We have this whole remainder of the season to grow, develop, and excel as a team with some hopeful leaders. What games like these do is expose the flaws at the tip top of the org because people's expectations as fans and the organizations attitude has been revolving around one guy not one message.

-Two words: Sam Mills

The lack of never having a player like Cam in our history shows on both ends with these reactions.

Learn to become a franchise and move forward

I've accepted we are an atrocious franchise with not much hope in the forseeable future as long as management stays the same.

I've become completely apathetic to the notion of us not winning a game the rest of the season.

of course you have, cause there really is no other option, as a fan, is there.

I knew i should avoid the huddle this weekend, and you are the perfect reason why.

That's a pretty damning stat. Rivera has the worst record over the first 19 games compared to all our other HCs, even Seifert. And he's done that with the most talented QB we've ever had.

It's definitely one of the most damming stats about our new coaches

otherwise, all I'm doing is trying to get some positive juices flowing

...and if it happens to work by mocking the thread, I encourage more to do so haha

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
