  1. I think we will know. Neither Dan nor Dave came from heavy 3-4 defenses in their background. If we go 3-4 defensive coordinator again, I believe you have your answer.
  2. If any of the things were true about Brian Flores, I would add him. Edit: Brian Daboll, as well. What a raging cVnt that guy was.
  3. It's gonna be an interesting one to see that search. One has to assume they will go young coach again. Likely defensive, so Minter, Weaver, Evero all fit that mold. It could be that Evero is a better HC than he is a DC but I question how someone who seems so poor at talent evaluation and has a very flawed defensive strategy will excel at that. Hey, hopefully we find out. I know it could certainly get worse on that side of the ball for us but I suppose luckily it can't actually get that much worse than being dead last and below average. As many changes as we can make to our coaching staff, all the better.
  4. Like who? We have had far more leave and not pan out than vice versa.
  5. Green Bay may very well open up after next season. I agree, I think he will likely choose a spot with a settled QB situation. He thrived with that in Pittsburgh but he had to scrap hard to make do with the parade of misfit QB's since Roethlisberger retired.
  6. QBR as an idea to incorporate rushing effectiveness was a good concept. Without being able to see behind the curtain, it's hard to know if it is accomplishing that or not. I would say Nate Silver's QBERT has the potential to be a much better metric than QBR. At least his methodology is transparent, anyway.
  7. It's been 6 seasons and an eventual waiving mid-season. Some of these guys just don't pan out. You should be very familiar with this phenomenon as a Panthers fan and especially one in the Tepper era.
  8. QBR is the worst one because it hides behind the cloak of being "proprietary." ESPN does not publish what the actual basis of QBR is. There is no way for other analytics guys to even critique the math/methodology involved because no one outside ESPN knows what it is.
  9. Don't underestimate how a bad hire can flip that on it's head. IMO, this was a mutual parting of ways because he likely would have been canned otherwise. Also, I am willing to bet his media job lasts until a good HC opportunity presents itself.
  10. I am not a Dart believer. As I have said, Lane Kiffin QB's are extremely ill prepared for the NFL. I don't see much difference other than Dart being a big athlete. That's great but he also has zero sense of self preservation and he is likely to sustain several serious injuries if he does not figure this out. Lamar was at least smart enough early in his career to understand the need to avoid those kind of hits. Most successful QB's figure that out(even Josh Allen had to). As for Harbaugh, he is a good coach but I do question if he will be given the time and resources to build there. It could be a prime location for a big time free agent QB once the Dart thing fails. That's not nothing.
  11. I would love to see him go destroy the Steelers and make them look foolish for firing Mike Tomlin.
  12. He was the coach of that worst defense, bub.
  13. I have seen little indication of Evero learning much. He seems to be a guy that believes in his system thoroughly, for better or worse.
  14. Simmons has never been successful at anything in the NFL. He is true blue bust. Keep in mind as both a LB and S in his career he is allowing a 100.9 QB rating in his career. He gets picked on in pass coverage when he is on the field. This is fairly similar to the much maligned Nick Scott's career QB rating He can be a deep reserve for us and a potential special teams ace. Hey, everyone needs backups and having them that are also great special teamers is a huge boost.

  16. Yeah, I think people forget that we basically benched Chinn for a lot of that season. He had to dedicate resources to more effective players that fit his defense like DJ Johnson, Trevin Wallace and Christian Rozebum. Glad we extended this guy.
  17. I don't think a 28 year old(which he will be in 2026) safety project is a very wise choice. Also, consider that we had the tremendously more talented and effective version of what you are talking about with Jeremy Chinn and Evero wanted nothing to do with him. Doesn't fit his defense. Simmons is a special teams player at this point in his career. As long as he is very good at that, let it be what it is.
  18. It was 2 years and $6.185 mil. That's around what we should probably be offering.
  19. I hope we don't get too aggressive and start the Matt Rhule "ALMOST THERE" BS. This is a very bad NFL roster with at least three good offseasons before it's a good roster. I really don't want to see more Wharton's or Robert Hunt's. Less of that, please.
  20. He has a ton of talent but he is another long term developmental guy. The idea that he is a first rounder is ludicrous. Now, we have seen crazier QB picks so it COULD happen but the team making that choice should get roasted for the decision.
  21. Pavia is basically significantly less talented and much smaller Sam Darnold. He has even less QB experience than Darnold had. He is likely a long term developmental prospect and not really someone that could be relied on to be a quality #2 QB. He would be great as a #3 or PS QB to develop.
  22. I suspect it will not go well. They certainly have some talent but still lack a QB and some other pieces. At best, they might rise to fringe playoff competitor. Now, this is also with the prospect of Washington about to be going through a HC change and Philly in turmoil. Could end up backing into a weak division.
  23. Yeah, notice how his feet are set and he is able to drive the ball downfield. That rarely happens here. Also, you are almost never going to see NFL WR's that open.
  24. Shaheed got a 2 year, $6.2 mil deal as an ERFA. ERFA price for one year would be $1.145 mil for Coker. I do think we sign him to a short term deal but it may not be at the prices you guys are talking about. That's not very common.
  25. Yeah, Ikey and BC have major injuries is bad because it creates two big holes that we weren't anticipating having to fill. But, overall we did know even before the season started that there was a ton of work needed on the roster. We still have at least three good to very good offseasons of work for this to be a good roster, IMO.
