But a smart organization(recently) like the Lions get rooked by Drew Petzig for a job. And you can everyone in Miami to hire....a sub .500 former Boston College HC??? Worse decisions have already happened this cycle, IMO. And most of these teams looking for HC's aren't known for making wise choices.

I don't think anyone is upset about continuity but one does wonder how much losing we will have to endure to see if that is a winning combo. You also have to wonder if that timeline will eventually be matched with a Bryce contract extension. That is nightmare fuel.

I think some of that is true but there are also organizations that somehow manage to weather the tide long term because they have competent management and ownership. Steelers, Packers, Ravens, Seahawks, 49ers, etc. Those teams have gone through several cycles of ups and downs but maintained a baseline of success and potential contender status for the overwhelming bulk of those years. That's what you try to aim for. Long term competence and the ability to win, even if you are struggling with aspects of roster construction cycles.

By just about every account he is extremely impressive in an interview setting. I don't think he would be getting so many interviews if it was just about ticking a box. I am not saying some aren't trying to hit that bird with a stone too but I think many of these teams do have real interest. One does wonder if his on field results have kept him from getting a few of these.

He has one contender for franchise worst draft(2024) and what appears to be one good to very good draft on his record. Free agency has been a very mixed bag. I think most are still waiting to judge him completely. Honestly, it's gonna be at least 2-3 offseasons before making a completely fair judgement.

Yeah and you see a lot of these older former elite pass rushers taking smaller, shorter deals with contenders to chase rings. Miller, Bosa, etc.

I think he wants redemption but that isn't the spot for it. He claims he would rather take a good OC job than a bad HC job. I am confused by him interviewing with the Lions and then they ended up with an awful hire in the former Cards OC. There wasn't a better OC opening in the NFL than the Lions. Very curious to see where McDaniels settles.

If he is carrying a dual role, I suspect that the Bills will decline in the near future. The worst thing for someone with ego issues is expanding their powers.

It's a tough call between Twatter and TikTok. The dumber people I tend to run across are heavy TikTok users. All social media is the worst posion humanity has ever created, though. Of that there is simply zero doubt.

I think Beane got moved out of his GM role for some valid reasons. He shares a lot of the blame for a bunch of critical FA whiffs and poor draft picks. Also, he has made a lot of passionate "defenses" of his errors in the media and blamed some of their lack of draft success on not picking higher in the draft. Based on his own words and actions, I would be inclined to want better for us. Now, is he better than Dan Morgan? Very possibly. I am just not convinced that is a high bar to clear yet.

LLM's are largely terrible and will likely remain so for at least a decade. I agree AI might eventually be useful but it's absolutely dreadful right now. It's biggest use has been to identify the dumbest people, TBH.

Yeah, that was such a bad decision. The Titans are awful. He really must be HC desperate.

I wouldn't at the cost it will require. We aren't one piece away, we are several. I also want an elite pass rusher(or rushers) but selling out your future for the present is how we ended up so bad in the first place. For a team with as bad of a roster as we have, those draft picks are like a bevy of lifelines to help us pull ourselves out of the quagmire we are currently in. Trading picks is like intentionally cutting them. If Trey is a cheapish option, fine. I can predict an Evero still here future on that, in the 2027 offseason people will be saying he should be cut and we were idiots for signing a guy that only got 5-7 sacks. "Trey is washed! Should have traded for *insert younger player who would also have performed poorly in this defense*!"

I did, it's one guy speculating and also calling the Raiders a premier NFL job, which made me laugh for about a minute straight.

McDaniels interviewed yesterday and Evero today for the Raiders job. Knock it out of the park, Evero!!!

He has had two concussions and two shoulder injuries(one in college). https://www.draftsharks.com/fantasy/injury-history/cj-stroud/13539 It's funny that Bryce may end up being the most durable of all these guys.

This is how low modern critical thinking is, eh?

Our triumvirate of awful GM's in Hurney, Gettleman and Fitterer will be tough for most franchises to beat. Fitterer may have been worse than Matt Millen.

It is if they are complete projects.

Yeah, that's it. Also, can't be a 4.65 guy. You gotta have wheels.

He'd just be injured for 4-6 weeks afterwards.

Ponds would be a great NB. That is one position where measureables are gonna need to be in a range, though. Edit: Coogan(who was getting beat like a snare drum) is largely regarded as one of the top center prospects. Needless to say, this is not a strong center class.

Gettleman's problem was that early on when he was cleaning up Hurney's cap mess he made some great trash heap moves that really paid off. That intensified his arrogance to billionaire tech bro levels and it was eventually his undoing. If you recall the end of his time in NY after us, he was eventually a guy that was pretty humbled.

That's a pretty loose definition of "several."

Him translating is a small concern. Him going to the worst run NFL franchise is the big concern.
