Would the following things make you change your mind about axing Ron...

1) the team goes on an extended winning streak, finishes at .500

2)Ron shows more emotion on the sidelines, maybe accidentally spits on some players while screaming at them...

3)Ron shelves the ludicrous read option and our backs start earning those millions...

Just a few off the top of my head... am sure you guys can add some of your own

You guys kill me with "more emotion on the sidelines". Ever gotten a look at Belichick? Who gives a poo about that. All that matters is winning.

And to be honest I think that is the only thing that will keep a New GM from coming in and keeping him. New GM typically wants his own guys. I don't see us getting to a 7-9/8-8 or better, but if it happens, then we're talking. Until then it doesn't really matter.

Absolutely. I don't need to see him screaming or spitting. I want to see the team look prepared. I want to see him show effective clock management. I want to see good adjustments week to week.

There are many things I like about Ron and it would be great to see him succeed. Based on what we've seen so far though, it is not highly likely that he can improve enough in 10 games to save his job. He just has not been well prepared in his former stints to excel as a HC in this league.

He's earned my trust back after having watched his last two pressers. The one today was more telling. The true test comes Sunday, and if we can suddenly find ourselves offensively against the League's best Defense... Well then... I think that it will speak for itself

I have some friendly advice for you. Don't trust his presser's, your setting yourself up for major dissapointment.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
