Coming from a TX town near you...I present, Rh.... Rhett Lashlee! Tepper will fly you in and give you $50 mil cool. Ain't no thang.

Just looking at how Philly's offense was built with a 2nd Round QB people scoffed at, a RB committee that's mainly Sanders with Scott & Gainwell being change of pacers, & a top tier WR group and stud TE, stud OL, I'd have to think many would be VERY intrigued at the prospect of building from our foundation. The Athletic FS even mentioned this the other week and I really agree. You get: A SET, top performing OL A Good WR group needing a possible star A Great running game Can cherry pick their own QB and star WR/TE Defense is already mostly set, could ask Wilks to stick around I mean, that's such a good setup for a HC.
-
Bubba Ventrone is an option.
-
Steichen and B Johnson are the hot ones. Obvious crushes for many around these parts and on other HC needy team subs. Demeco is league wide wanted, but we're craving the offensive guy right now. Reich would be respectable, not my top, but could jump on board. He has the connects and would get a good staff together. Waldren is interesting but Carrol's crew has not been known to be the best when elevated minus one year for Quinn.
-
This is the best path I see. Best combination of excitement, bridging, everything. Can even retain Wilkes if he's game to maintain the defense and AHC role he had for Ron.
-
Let's get our priorities straight: Hire Shane Steichen Retain Wilks as a DC & Assistant Head Coach Retain Campen & Tabor Now QB wise?? You draft high (Richardson), draft low (Tune), & sign the man, the myth, the legend: Our low pick and Corral duke it out for QB3, Richardson acclimates, Minshew dominates. Any questions?
-
All stud TEs to consider...this draft is abundant IMO. Cam Latu Arik Gilbert Tucker Kraft Luke Schoonmaker Sam LaPorta Darnell Washington Dalton Kincaid Luke Musgrave Michael Mayer
-
This is maybe one of the best TE classes in 20 years and Kincaid may be my favorite of them all after the ND kid. Would absolutely love him in round 2.

Did a PFFer: R1 Anthony Richardson QB Florida - Mega upside QB R2 Dalton Kincaid TE Utah - Star TE R3 Mazi Smith IDL Michigan - Monster next to Brown & Burns? Yes please R3-4 Micah Baskerville LB LSU - Micah enters next to Luvu & Smith, Shaq exits R3-4 Kenre Miller RB TCU - No problem in having him min RB3, competing for carries. Have a committee like other good squads. R4 Clayton Tune QB Houston - 2nd QB to see if there's a diamond here R4-5 Malik Knowles WR KSU - One of the mid-round WRs I definitely like

Pretty much. For some recent 1st rounders like Jones & Pickett, that's why they got passed by a lot of QB needy teams, including us, and it's for a reason. If you aren't hitting prototype measurables, you need to possess some sort of elite trait in your game, ideally a combo of a few. I.E.: accuracy, arm, mechanics, footwork, consistent GWDs, etc. They just hit the benchmark on a few things and had great college numbers. So close enough to the size you want, but just nothing special once separated from Bama and, let's be honest with Pickett, Jordan Addison. AJ McCarron syndrome. And on the flip side, if you're developmental, you need obvious physical traits or an apparent star ceiling. I think many to most teams determined Willis did not possess that ceiling last year and it shows when he's gone in for TEN. Same for what Ridder and Corral brought to the table. People got starry eyed with Corral's release but he seems to be really raw coming from that Ole Miss system. Now, has has this been proven otherwise at times? Sure, Brees, Brady, Dak, and Wilson were misses for many squads. But those are exceptions. At the end of the day, I see that star upside in Richardson, and with guys like Penix, Ward, Daniels returning to school, there's a pretty big cliff unless you're hoping a 2nd-4th rounder buds into something like Tune, McConnell, Duggan, etc. You take that boom/bust guy in the QB3-4 range, just like the Chiefs, Bills, Ravens, & Chargers did. Get the specimen with all the tools, trust you can develop with the right staff & team--that's the recipe.

Steve Wilks has proved he has what it takes to be HC
Bear Hands replied to Verge's topic in Carolina Panthers
Yeah I'm pipe dreaming. Brian Johnson in PHI looks cool but get what you're saying, could be hard to sustain. Good OC's are being pried left and right into HC spots. McDaniel, O'Connell, Taylor, the list goes on. Steichen and Ben Johnson will be next. About the only guy that's perked my interest in Darrell Bevell in MIA. He could do well back in an OC role (much better than McAdoo, but I don't think he's HC material) -
We lost to the Ravens with Baker stinking it up. But I hear you.

Bear Hands replied to Verge's topic in Carolina Panthers
Nice write up. If we're rolling with him come season's end, we really need a focused search on getting a legitimate offensive mind in house that won't leave immediately for a HC gig. Priority #1 alongside QB. -
Massive heart attack apparently.
-
I agree on the philosophy and we may honestly end up in a very ideal spot to land him. The Richardson, FA/Darnold, & Corral route may be one to go for our QB group. And then, if we like a guy later to take a stab on in R4-6, might as well. Competition never hurts.
-
If we're talking whose made consistent Sunday-level throws...I'm ALL in on Clayton Tune. My suspicion is teams have noticed; he just seems like a dude. Stone cold. O'Connell and Haener have impressed me as well. Even with the school returns, there's a lot more mid-round talent than usual at the QB spot. Not many top-of-draft guys, but a lot in the likes of how ones like Minshew, Prescott, Cousins, & Love were viewed as prospects. I like them better than last year's round 3 batch, but not enough to have as top-end 1sts. My Current Rankings: 1. Bryce Young (Top 5) 2. CJ Stroud (Top 12) 3. Anthony Richardson (Top 20) *4- Jayden Daniels - Return to LSU? (Rd 1) 4. Tanner McKee (Rd 1-2) 5. Will Levis (Rd 1-2) Yes, I'd rather have Daniels & McKee over Levis *6- Cameron Ward - Return to WSU? (Rd 2-3) 6. Clayton Tune (Rd 2-3) 7. Aidan O'Connell (Rd 3-4) 8. Max Duggan (Rd 3-4) ---this is around where I'd peg Corral & Ridder--- 9. Jake Haener (Rd 4-6) 10. Jaren Hall (Rd 4-6) 11. Hendon Hooker (Rd 4-6)

Vrabel is a very good coach in TEN, producing a lot with a FO making pretty strange moves. And with that being said, I can see Luke being SOOO much better than that guy. If this possibility is bettered with Wilks as HC, I'd be inclined to ramp up the OC/AHC search pronto in tandem with a HC search. I imagine we'd want to see what Wilks could align with to compare to a potential staff of another HC. Reich, Bevell, or maybe Brian Johnson? https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/eagles/could-eagles-lose-qb-coach-brian-johnson-head-coach-job

I'd be down for a 3rd on Duggan. I'd like also to throw Aidan O'Connell & Clayton Tune into the mix in that range. It appears my faves in Cam Ward and Jayden Daniels still need to make their decisions. Both have sky high potential. They may both be going back as well. Have the Round 1 ceiling if they return to school, probably R3-5 if they don't.
-
Mac Jones is bland and blah and meh and merhp.
-
I really hope we randomly strike gold with a QB. We could be a flip of the switch contender if we just find the right guy for this team. Doesn't need to be Peyton, just the right guy to win games for us. Where art thou?
-
I can see Levis going before Stroud and we trade up slightly for CJ. I know people aren't fans of his game when he plays from behind, but there's a lot of talent to like with him.
