In fairness we’ve been drinking the koolaid every offseason for the last 5 years and getting our souls crushed come game time. I’m liking there seems to be a coherent plan but let’s wait and see if they can get out of the basement before we start crowning anyone 

Indeed. There's also the small matter of actually being able to you know..draft kinda well..instead of the worst drafts anyone has seen in years. We also retained the scouting department from those drafts. Then there's the matter of our current GM being directly involved in the process of those drafts. Yeah... needless to say let's dial back the offseason award ceremony until we see this come together in preseason.

Is it me or does it seem like we actually have a plan? 

I think there have been plans every year but they were either:

a) Dumb, e.g. Rhule, Bridgewater, et al in 2020

b) Terribly executed, e.g. focus on better QB and OL in 2021 but attempt it by getting on Darnold, Elflein, and Erving

or

c) Both, e.g. 2022 offseason and 2023 as a whole

In fairness, huddlers have witnessed the poo show Morgan was part of that led us where we are. Winning the offseason is great. Winning in the regular season is something completely different. 

In fairness, he had no finial say so. So give him a season or 2.

Teams that build primarily through FA usually don't do as well. You need a good mix of rookies year after year. Recent history shows that you simply must build the core of your team through the draft. This year's Super Bowl teams, the Ravens and 49ers, prove that.

Yeah day 1 in FA is normally 'also ran' territory.

I will say though that in the cases of reuniting players with the coaches they had success with are more likely to be exceptions.

Probably why we're seeing a lot of short term prove it type deals

In fairness, y'all are driving me crazy. 

Some were skeptical of retaining Morgan and giving him a promotion. That was a rational approach, though one that always has the possibility of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. 

Some just want to criticize Morgan for trading Burns for a second and a 2025 5th, but unless they believe he's an abject idiot, even they should have the sense to know that he has did his research and made the best deal that he could. He inherited that problem.

At this point, it is beyond obvious that a damned dominant franchise isn't going to be built in a day. When you're at the bottom of the barrel, that should be even more evident. That means it's going to take more time to turn things around. Be patient!

    • We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.
    • I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning. 
    • He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
