100%, you can’t put a cherry on top of a sundae that doesn’t exist. it pretty much just all comes down to getting a QB and protecting that QB. If you don’t have that no one is going to carry the team for you.

Saying “Darnold to Dan Arnold” was priceless, how could we break that up?

If Fitterer pays Burns like an elite 3 down DE then I think that shows very poor judgement. If he pays Burns that money but then doesn’t heavily invest in the D-line to free him up then he should be fired.

I don’t mean this as a knock on CMC but who knows how long he’ll be effective for.

I’d much rather draft for potential since it’s a gamble regardless. I’d be fine with AR at 9. It’d be a coup if they traded down too.

Wilks as AHC for Ron would be hilarious since they are bad at the same stuff. I think Wilks is better at clock mgmt possibly.

I think one of the rationales is that the offensive HC isn’t going to leave for a promotion. The team will be in a more stable position because the league favors offense so heavily. I’m sure it can work the other way around but why fight the prevailing winds? The NFL likes points and wants to discourage punishing defenses.

Yeah it’s shockingly stupid but plenty of these grown men are so no surprise.

Definitely agree. It’s also not like these defensive coaches don’t have their place too. It seems like Wilks ceiling was at DB coach ultimately. He’s elite and should be proud. Wilks not going for it on the 4th downs that game was insane. I don’t think we had been stopped for negative yards that entire time. He chose his bedrock principles instead of actually thinking for himself. It’s maddening. I just got horrible Fox/Rivera flashbacks from it. I’ll never understand the calculation he came up with in his mind. Did he really think TOM BRADY was going to get rattled being backed up against his own endzone? I definitely want a young OC but I wonder if any of these young DCs would be different.

Conditional future 3rd day pick, sure

I don’t think you trade up for just any QB. I feel like most of the prospects teams want to trade up for, the team would never trade with you anyway. I think you should take shots on a QB every year, but trading the farm for any QB found really set us back.

Late draft picks along the line wouldn’t hurt

Fox and Rivera cross pollination, what’s not to love

I’m not sure where the negativity is coming from. To be clear I was referring to the reporting. We don’t know how much or how little his wife will help. So hopefully it’s just kind of fluff. Hopefully Tepper isn’t doing a whole lot more than signing the checks too.

Hopefully we get lucky

I feel like it’s just one of those fluff kind of comments yah know? If not then god help us.

It’s not that bad of a headline. Everyone is just grumpy because so far Tepper sux too.

I think like Fox/Rivera he’ll have a higher floor that truly terrible coaches but yeah I’m not sure I see us in the playoffs every year.

That article is terrible, it feels like he’s just stirring the pot.

He’s def an excellent DB coach at a minimum

I think Shaq will be extended honestly. Org likes him I’m sure. As far as overpaid players go he’s not the worst. I could see him favoring a release and he could move back towards the west coast. But could he fetch more on the open market than just getting a small extension here?

I’m gonna go do some stretches

Just win baby!

That’s nuts, couldn’t do that if you tried. I know it will spark convos about player safety too which is dumb. This could have happened in almost any sport especially a contact one. I’m more concerned about astroturf and concussions.

I really don’t get Andre Johnson over Smith. I guess Reggie Wayne will automatically make it one day but it feels like BS when these WRs have HoF QBs almost their entire career
