Jim Skipper and Ricky Proehl

Quite possibly two of the best coaching hires this team has made in recent memory. We all remember the impact Skipper's departure had on Stewart and Williams as neither were happy to see him leave, especially after their record-setting year when both ran for more than 1100 yards, only to get canned less than 2 seasons later.

 

Ricky Proehl's impact on a relatively unproven group of WRs is already noticeable. I'm one of the biggest AE detractors on the planet, but if he actually develops into a serviceable WR, I'll have to ive props to he and Proehl. David Gettis showed signs last night as well, but it's early. Ricky will teach these guys how to become disciplined route runners, how to find the seams and how to sit down in a zone- attributes every WR on this team not named Steve Smith was lacking.

 

If we see a couple WRs have breakout years while Stewart and Williams return to form- look no further than Jim Skipper and Ricky Proehl.

Yeah, man, I know it's only one preseason game, but between what we've heard from camp, and seeing a rookie RB seemingly fix his biggest flaw in such a short time, as well as seeing a couple of projects at WR actually showing signs of life and turning the corner in a real-game environment speaks volumes as to receiving great coaching.

      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.
