Mage

Deebo Samuel is crazy...

NFL version of Georgia with Stetson Bennet... no disrespect to Bennett. Just an absolute loaded team that is damn near idiot-proof when it comes to the QB. You'd have to be really really bad to fail with this offense. With that said, Seahawks defense sucks. I don't think Purdy is going to get away playing like this against Dallas or Philly. Two defenses with great pass rushes who will force turnovers in the secondary.

Absolutely destroyed his blocker though and forced Geno to step up

Nick Bosa a problem

DK Metcalf is a monster lol

Please stop =/

Respect for him if he returns to Ohio State to win the national championship. And if that is what he wants to do, he should 100% do it. But I really really really hope he thinks it through. You never know what can happen. And while I do think since he plays QB, an injury wouldn't hurt him as much as it would others at another position (Tua still went top 5)... you never know.

I like Jerod Mayo. I want an offensive-minded guy, but I would be okay with him. He's young, he is a former player who played middle linebacker (thus responsible for setting the defense) in a complex scheme/system, and has spent the last 3-4 years as a coach. Would he be in my top 3 most wanted? Nah. But I'd be willing to give it a chance. Former players (who have spent time as an assistant coach in the NFL, so not Jeff Saturday) have done pretty well so far. Mike Vrabel, Dan Campbell, Zac Taylor, O'Connell, plus a whole bunch of coordinators on the come up. I think there is a benefit to a head coach who recently played the game. They can relate to players differently. Obviously more goes into it than that, but it is important.

Fisher has become a little underrated. Was he bad in the 2010s? Yes without question, the game passed him by. But he took over an Oilers/Titans franchise that just lost Warren Moon. He turned them around just like that. Between 1999-2003 they were AFC heavyweights and finished with 11+ wins 4 times in 5 seasons. He also has 2 more 10-win seasons on top of that. Rivera has never had his team as consistently good as those early 2000s Titans were.

HIRE BEN JOHNSON We are a fool franchise if we don't.

The reason to be optimistic is BEN JOHNSON

Ben Johnson is the real deal.

When are we interviewing Mike Shula?

What? Dude has put up numbers

Wants to give the fans an entertaining game for at least the first half

Dawgs hunting tonight

I agree with everyone else. George probably stomps. But TCU special man. You never know.

I think Panthers go after CJ Stroud.

Possible he was referring to the 2021 draft, where QBs did go 1-2-3.

Why do people keep bringing up "no HC experience"? Not just you but others do it too. Ya'll do realize no HC has HC experience until they become a HC, right?

I want everyone to pledge loyalty to Ben Johnson.

OT vs Falcons. We just got an interception. 1st and 10 at the Falcons 20 yard line. And what does Wilks do? Allow the offense to run the ball 3 times up the gut for 6 yards and settles for a FG. And obviously the kick is missed (by the way he had missed an XP earlier... why would you trust him in that moment?). In an important moment, in a game in which had he won we would have made the playoffs, Wilks settled for a field goal rather than trust a passing attack that was humming in the second half against one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL. If that was ANY other coach people would have kept bringing it up. But for some reason people just overlook Wilks' mistakes. It is bonkers to me. If Rhule coached like that people would crucify him. Hell when Rivera used to coach like that, fans were LIVID. And it ain't like Wilks learned his lesson that you need to be aggressive to win in the modern NFL. Look at his situational decisions against the Bucs. Wilks is and will always be conservative. It is clearly who he is as a HC. Why are fans ignoring this? Nobody brought up that atrocious Falcons conservative play-calling after the fact.

Players wanted Singletary. Players wanted Freddie Kitchens. Bills players wanted Perry Fewell. Falcons wanted Raheem Morris. Players always back the interim unless the interim is terrible. Hell you had players still backing Rhule at the end of 2021. It shouldn't factor in. What should factor in is what Wilks does outside of being a good leader. How are his halftime adjustments? How are his defenses historically? What connections does he have around the NFL? Rivera knew Wilks, McDermott, Chud, etc. all before coming to Carolina. Who does Wilks know? Leftwich? Most importantly, what makes him any different than Ron Rivera?

There is no way the Ravens, or any team, would let their franchise QB walk in FA. They will 100% tag him. Cousins is the only sub-30 QB I can think of recently that has hit FA that was a franchise guy, but 1) Cousins wasn't seen as some bonafide top 10 QB like Jackson is and 2) Washington tagged him like 2 or 3 years in a row. I guess Brady hit FA but only because he negotiated a deal where they couldn't tag him.

You are describing Mike Singletary. A rah-rah coach who can get his players to play hard but doesn't have the expertise to take a team over the top. 49ers were 5-11 in 2007 and 2-5 in 2008 under Mike Nolan. Singletary takes over, they go 5-4, and would have challenged for a playoff spot in a terrible division (Cardinals won it at 8-8) if Singletary was HC all year despite the inconsistency at QB. Again... sound familiar? And everyone thought Singletary was going to be the next great coach and pushed for the 49ers to keep him, and he kept a team with a very strong roster mediocre. Singletary had no connections, so his choice for OC was the AWFUL Jimmy Rave. There is no way anyone can convince me Steve Wilks will be able to bring an up-and-coming or established play-caller here. He just ain't been around the block because he's mainly been with Rivera. Wilks is literally the understudy of Ron Rivera... who we all pushed out of here. Don't second guess yourself. Wilks did a great job this season, I ain't gonna hate on that. But he's not the guy that is about to turnaround a franchise that hasn't made the playoffs since 2017. And definitely not the guy to develop a franchise QB.
