Regular season he is a winner and the numbers show that. He hasn't been a real contender in years. That's what I'm talking about. Again even slightly diminished he is still a winner. He isn't a Reid though and that's the difference. Reid is literally and figuratively hungry and that's why he will always leave Carroll behind in comparison of their careers.

Except Beastmode came out later and said what was going on behind closed doors. They were letting Rus run around like the golden boy and the other guys freaking hated it. He allowed and incuraged it. I linked the video a while ago but it's out there. I think he is fine with doing it his way. It's served him well but at the same time I think that is really all that stops him from making SB runs anymore.

I don't think so. Even then he was still a good HC but just not a great as he was before that.

He hasn't been the same coach since IMO. Still trying to prove it was the right call. Even with all of that he will still get to .500. I think he has one decent year and then falls into the same rut again. Maybe he will get challenged more from ownership and whoever there GM is.

He's a better coach. It's not really debatable. I'm not expecting a successful run for him this time. Maybe he does it again but I just can't see it.

I was comparing him to Ron. Seattle has to change everything if they want to do it their way. Also ownership changed in 2018 so I have no idea what they are doing now vs the distant ownership model they had going for years. Following Carroll up there was always going to be an uphill fight. I don't think he is willing to change after the last few years and now this trade. Dude already proved he could do it, I'm just not seeing enough adaptability so therefore the Ron comparison again.

Seattle is doing everything to get away from the old regime and Carroll wants to get it back together. I bet he pulls a less successful Ron in DC. Either Seattle is trying to make a move or they just didn't care as with all the other moves. Going to be interesting seeing which way but having both teams going so hard to prove they were right in that breakup is hilarious. It's like the backlash of having such hands off owners and so long of stability under one dominant HC.

Carrol wants to continue proving Geno isn't going to win a SB.

Sure fits the MO. Seahawks cast off, big move they shouldn't make and won't help with the biggest issues. I get calling but being all in just makes it seem like Scott is still around.

Some of those teams are already planning on the 2026 draft vs going hard with most of those guys.

Blocking TE at 8? Yeah it would be firing season and then they would try amd trade that guy after 2 years just like LV is doing with their 2nd round blocking TE.

They literally traded a #1 and haven't come close to another one since. With the guys they have taken and are looking good at its fair to ask because it sure seems like they don't care or know what one looks like.

Neglect that D again and that should put them into firing range by the end of the year. I have no idea why they want to bet on the offense carring a terrible D but that's what they want apparently.

It's their MO. Do stupid stuff every year. Make big moves and not smart moves, there will be a look at me move this offseason and I wouldn’t bet on it being smart. One move last year has great. The Jackson trade. The draft wasn't good. Free agency looked like a 13 year old playing franchise mode for the first time on Madden.

Everything else missing like it doesn't matter

Leggette, Mingo and TMJ all play slow even with them actually testing faster in the 40. They have a type and it's not good. Good 40 times and they skip the cones and shuttle. They aren't football fast, they are 40 fast. Add in they all are projects needing serious work to be more than a school level WR. If they actually did the drills their stock would have dropped because they all have poorer agility and acceleration. It's like the team is allergic to a well rounded WR early since Moore.

They already took their first round WR. Taking them back to back with the 32/32 D would be incompetent given the talent teir 1 ending after 4 players while tier 2 runs into the 3rd. It would be very questionable given the options and needs.

How about Leggette and a 5th with a 20 mil a year deal? Just kidding, maybe next year with his dead money. I honestly don't want to know the size of contract that would make him want to come here. And if he would come here for a bloated contract then I don't want to see him here anyways.

I'm way more interested in fixing the front 7 first but there is no way they can do it all this offseason. They don't need to be bidding on the top guys at any position. They need to find guys who want playing time and to prove themselves. Get closer to .500 and then you can sell the talent on being a contender. It's not a thing yet. Not impressed about over spending instead of being savvy again.

My guy in the first is Trade Back. I don't know if he is on the board at 8 but getting an extra 2nd would be the home run.

No he isn't likely going to be elite for another contract. He is a great bridge guy who is going to decline on the field soon so either they extend him with something like a 3 year deal with 2 year opt out. That's worth a 4th. If he was 29 he would be worth a 2nd and gaint new contract. It's not really shocking. He is leaving a team with multiple rings just coming off a SB loss. Those rosters have to make these moves and it's not like they are thrilled with it, it's necessary.

How about trade Horn and understand DK doesn't want to come to a worse team. Sucks about Horn but getting paid NFL high for 1 healthy year is a hard pass...I hope

Big cap savings and it's an OG.

NFL teams hire a lot of employees that do their jobs poorly and still usually stick around a few years because the job plays out season by season. With all of the stories about the hiring processes, just like the drafting process, it shouldn't be a mystery why. Bozeman wasn't a match for the scheme yet still got an extension. BC has never been healthy and he wasn't good enough for the people in charge to not buy both of the highest OGs and make him a swing tackle. Like 1? OK. But both? With Moton going into 30 mil the following year at 30+? Yeah that's not great management IMO. Not even going into Corbett at C because he wasn't healthy enough again to really matter and they are lined up to try it again. Mays is a huge green flag. That's the kind of guy we need more of. Prove it guys that at worst you can't afford because they did well.

No one had a problem building the line. Us fans have been screaming for improvement there for years. The Bears just did it a lot better. And saying our poorly managed cap led us to the D when signing the most expensive OGs is ironic AF. The point is that you can find good OG play and not end up in such a poorly managed situation. Get an oline, especially for Young QBs. Duh. It's embarrassing neither team thought that was important for a rookie. Just stop there IMO. The Panthers didn't do it right because it doesn't help a young QB to have such a bad D. It's half a good job and again it looks like the Bears are making a better swing than the Panthers did...so far. It is the Bears
