Your debating with emotion I’m disproving the points you make with facts and statistics. You’re using arbitrary opinion statements to make a point that is illogical. We were a -70 point differential team last year, we lost to the saints twice this is a growing and young team not a contender. Clearly your not a Bryce guy, I most likely have a higher opinion of him then you do but that is besides the point. Even with an average to above average QB this is not a contending team. We have far too many holes to fill paired with a nonexistent pass rush. We need to invest in building our defense and let Bryce and this offense to continue to develop.

10 of the top 14 defensive teams in EPA per play made the playoffs. Defensive EPA is the gold standard for how we grade and value defenses. Having a good defense is imperative to having a successful team. To your point of this team being a QB away I adamantly disagree I think we’re realistically 1-2 good off seasons away roster construction wise from truly competing for a Super Bowl. To your point that the offense needs to be upgraded I entirely agree, we were far too inconsistent last year and our running game fell off a cliff the last 6 weeks.

First off let’s just establish we were not the 15th ranked scoring offense we were the 16th. Secondly, the 16th scoring defense is even by your own chosen statistic chosen totally average and not special. To anyone that actually cares about defensive advanced statistics, EPA per play is much more effective in determining the actual quality of a defense we ranked 23rd. We were 30th in sacks as a defense, Everos defense is exactly bend don’t break. It naturally gives teams the opposing team the time of possession advantage. This defense is by no means good, in fact at best it is a marginally below average group. I’m not even trying to defend the offense that is also a below average group, but it’s pretty clear we need to upgrade the defensive significantly before we’re close to being Super Bowl contenders.

Yeah the 23rd ranked defense is so ready to compete for a championship right now!

You said that when you made the point Canales is not the long term coach here. Am I missing something, that’s how you suggesting Canales will be gone after next season. Also using a complete hypothetical as an argument is utterly pointless, yeah if we win 5 games next season that would lower Canales long term coaching odds here. But, why would you assume a total regression this guy almost doubled our win totals from last season. Assuming a regression of 3 wins is a flawed argument.

Yes naivety is wanting to returning to hiring and firing a coach every other year and can the second year coach who has shown continual progression! Sorry I didn’t get get the memo we should return to acting like the Browns and the Jets, that coaching ideology has clearly worked out for them

Hyper fixating on an isolated statistic is really revealing. The statistic I prefer is wins, overcomplicate whatever you choose. Also, once again context is incredibly important. The average age of an NFL team as a whole does not tell the actual story. We are young in key positions, QB,WR,DE,LB we are brought down by old backups like Andy Dalton and special teams players like JJ Jansen. This is a young team and it is far easier to project growth rather then regression.

Moving on from Canales would be an absolute idiot move. We finally have a team that’s shown continual progression under a coach, coming off a playoff appearance. Anyone that actually thinks Canales gets canned needs help.

Regress is actually hilarious, we’re an incredibly young team across the board including coaching. 7/8 games is our floor, this team will be back in the playoffs next season.

Jalen Coker Rozeboom Yosh Nijman Cade Mayes Claudin Cherelus Isiah Simmons (Might not be a good LB OR S but he is an amazing special teams player, that blocked punt yesterday was huge) Brady Christensen- if Icky is out we’re gonna need Yosh and Brady to man down LT As much as I’m a Nick Scott doubter, he is a solid run defender and our S behind him aren’t the best. Hopefully he would not be a starter next season rather a backup. JJ Jensen- love that mf Sam Martin dude was solid all year

Props to you for owning up to things you have said, I respect you man!

Typical Evero…

This has been an amazing game

Cokehead until I fuging die

I fuging LOVE YOU JALEN COKER
