  1. Still of the opinion that it's too soon on either front, but there's always a difference between what should happen and what could. Hell, Adrian Wilson hasn't even been here long enough to have an impact yet. Who knows if a new GM keeps him (or Morgan for that matter).
  2. Not a fan of hoping a guy who doesn't know what he's doing just somehow gets lucky. He's got an easy connection with loads of experience as a winner in Kevin Colbert. Don't know why he wouldn't take advantage of that.
  3. Tepper starting from scratch is a nightmare scenario for me unless he brings in someone to help him out.
  4. Yeah, this is gonna get interesting...
  5. Yeah If we'd have stuck with a power run scheme, he's probably still would be.
  6. You have somebody on both sides of you on the interior line. They can't just take a wide path and run around you. It tends to be a better spot for guys like Ickey who have trouble with speed rushers.
  7. Now confirmed that Burrow is out for the year...
  8. I went back to check who has offensive line coaches were with the Colts. Initially it was a guy that came from the Patriots who didn't last long (he hasn't lasted long anywhere honestly). For four of the five years though, the OL coach was Chris Strausser, a guy who at this moment is coaching the offensive line of the Texans.
  9. If Harbaugh gets fired, he's the next head coach of the Bears.
  10. Sounds like things might be about to get interesting...
  11. And what could have been... With an interesting comment from a respondent... Wonder if JJ has a future here beyond his playing days
  12. More of John digging into personnel and scheme issues with regard to talent...
  13. I think that started happening a little later, but at least in the first season and maybe first season and a half I just didn't see a whole lot of late game effectiveness. But hell, even in the super season of 2015 the MO was to build a big lead in the first half and pray like crazy we could protect it in the second. I don't think that was on Newton though. That was due to Rivera being terrible at adjustments.
  14. Possible "uh oh" moment incoming...
  15. At least for his first couple of seasons, Newton had a habit of coming out on fire in the first half and then disappearing in the second. But no it's not the defense losing games, though Ellis did rightly point out that our defense is kind of weak in the takeaway department.
  16. Dalton isn't starter material anymore, and definitely not a long-term starter. We need to look for somebody that's got that kind of potential, even if it's via the draft rather than free agency.
  17. I'll say this unequivocally; I do not believe that you can call Bryce Young a bust right now and I don't think we should treat him as such. It's way too soon to know what he is regardless. With that said... I do think it's going to be necessary next year to sign a backup who can not only mentor him but also compete with him if his issues continue. Mind you, some of those issues may not be all his fault. The David Carr treatment that he's receiving this season could certainly have an effect. Either way though, I think that's something you have to factor into the coming offseason's personnel strategy.
  18. This is kinda cool, though... Hell, I'd use a Madden coin for every game.
