For real. Imagine the bitching here if one goes down and the replacement is some scrub. " Wow Dan Morgan sucks, no RB depth. We could have drafted Brooks last year. He was right there for the taking in the 2nd!" as he balls out on another team.

I swear this board is always like 4 years off on NFL trends. Defenses got built to defened the deep pass. Mid short passing game and especially the run game are back in. It is how you win. Its run to open the passing game unless you are Mahomes and Reid and they will get back to their RB by commitee when Pacheo is baxk healthy.

Do not over think it. Just bring in a franchise player, no trade downs etc... we need cornerstones and you can get one at the top of the draft. Hopefully they have conviction in a QB and if not that get the best pass rusher.

Not talking about how they aquired him. Im talking about why a team may still want him.

Yeah he is still young enough that a team can look back at their scouting of him and wonder if they can bring out the potential they saw. I still think its real funny that people here are not willing to admit that Bryce Young was going to be drafted in the top 5 picks of the draft last year.

To be a seller you need a buyer......no one is buying the guys that are basically special teamers or practice squaders. There are others available that don't require giving up draft capital on. We need to keep the guys that can add some value on STs and as backups with some developmental upside and draft better. That is it.

Its alright, good if all healthy but otherwise thin. The biggest need being QB. I still think you need to give him time for 3 things : 1 : to get better as HC in general, feel out the role, work on proper delegation and balance 2 : to work with Dan Morgan to bring in the players that fit what they want to do and hopefully build out a more robust roster ( which I think they started with. XL, Sanders and probably Brooks should be staples moving forward ) 3: Build the locker room culture. This is a huge part of the NFL and it takes time and the right guys in the locker room to make it happen. Tepper will probably wait to see what year 3 looks like. The same way he did with Rhule.

Too early to tell. Rookie HC, terrible roster. You have to give people time to grow, these things aren't just plug and play.

If you are waiting for Tepper to sell.....you will be waiting a very long time. Our next owner will be Nicole Tepper. Get used to it.

There isn't enough talent here to let him walk. I think you try to sign him on a 3 year deal without the deal being outrageous. Only way you let him go is a 2nd round pick IMO.

There are two ways to look at it. He could have been tasked with making Young better OR he could have been tasked to find out if Young is viable. It just a slightly different perspective. Personally I think his career will rest on how he does with the QB he brings in.

It doesn't. This guy been talking about this since we signed coach. It's a little sad.

That I could view Canales as our coach for the future. So far I am liking it. This team was thin and its only getting worse, so W's and L's is going to be a hard metric to use. It will be interesting to see how this team ( mainly the offense ) looks in December.

Personally not too bad. I think having a coach I believe can turn this thing around is great. I was only hoping to see improvement offensively. It's a little better then I hope TBH, it seems like Canales and Idzik know how to tailor an offense for the QB. That in turn makes me feel better about them getting an opportunity to bring their guy in at QB ( whenever that is, I'd imagine in the next 2 years ). Defense is just thin and getting thinner, hard to control that. Off loading Burns was the right move. I would imagine that next off season will be focused on fixing the defensive side as much as possible. Which brings me to Dan Morgan. I just got a soft spot for him so I am a little bias in my rooting for him. I think he did a pretty good job all things considered. Draft was solid, not amazing. Free Agency I liked what they did for the most part ( can't remember it all lol ), I don't think we were going to sign any all stars this year but hopefully the role players we got can shine as we add some talent next to them next year. One thing I think we will get from Morgan is more value on tape vs analytics, which I think has really sunk our drafts/FAs over the last few years. Basically I believe we have a good foundation to build on here. Players are in on the coach and he looks like he has the vision and ability to create an identity here and I think Dan Morgan is alright.

Its a good point. Peyton Manning was the ultimate game manager and also one of the best to ever do it. He orchestrated that offense to perfection. I think the point you are making is the exact point Cam was making last year with the whole Purdy thing. He said there are only 2-3 "game changers" at QB at a time.
