Need an identity NOW

[Ricky Prickles]

We just dont have a Peppers ,Jake , Steve Smith or Olsen or Luke or CMC or Thomas Davis or Kevin Greene or any real dominant face of the franchise we get behind and all agree we love. I miss those days of having personalities that dominate on the field and off and are good leaders too. Im not emotionally tied to anyone on this team. Our biggest personality Brian Burns cant hold a candle to the guys of the past and just doe snot have the dominance of his predecessors. This has been a damn hard year for me as a fan. One of teh saddest seasons I have ever seen and we arent even half way through.

Yeah, when you ask me who my favorite current players are I'm basically left with just a disappointed shrug for a response. We traded the last guys I was truly a big fan of when we dealt CMC and DJ.

My thinking exactly. DJ was the last one I had any interest in as well. The rest of these guys can all go kick rocks for all I care. I think Luvu for me has potential as I like his story and se him play with some fire but he may be my only hope. At one time we had multiple personality guys every year.

Chinn could be one of those guys for me but he's one of our many square pegs in round holes.

If you look back at the 2015 team it was loaded with dogs.  Olsen, TD, Cam, Luke, Kalil, Jno, Peanut, and then the second-tier guys like Charles Johnson and Kurt Coleman.  So much swagger and personality and all of them would lay it on the line for the guy next to them. 

We're just a shell now.  A zombie team staggering around aimlessly.

Yeah I feel like we are missing the boat on him these days after a promising rookie season. He possibly could have been for sure

This EXACTLY

This team needs a personality. It doesn't have one.

It's just an uninteresting losing team with no character.

[Castavar]

Luvu is the closest on the team at this moment that kind of meets that critera. But unless you are a Luke type LB, LBs really aren't the face of a franchise.

Like most have said, the last player I actually cared about on this team was CMC.

Like just for one example, imagine if 2015 Third Leg Greg was on this team.  Think we'd be winless?  Think that guy who hit Bryce late after the whistle wouldn't be eating out of a straw right now?  And that was just one dude.

I knew Hayden Hurst was no third leg Greg but my god I thought he would be at least more than he has been. Greg could will an offense and was a young QB's savior

I'm starting to think that Reich is just to controlled/controlling a personality, much like Rhule was.

They both have the result of keeping everything under control and end up suppressing personality.

Rhule was by design. Reich is by nature.

I like Reich, but he's holding the team back. And having so many old school characters around us having that effect.

Reich needs to go.

Caldwell needs to go.

Capers needs to go.

And that other dinosaur that we aren't supposed to know about who is back wandering around the halls and advising the FO needs to go as well.

Just like with DC, it's time for the old guys to move on and the young blood take over.
