Change the coaches and change the players every 2-3 years. Have an owner who tells the fans the teams the greatest thing on earth. Hows that working out for Dallas. All I know FORE SURE is after I set thur the 1-15 2001 season, John Fox And Jake have taken us to three playoff seasons and two NFC championships and one superbowl..So in 2008 we go 12-4 and have one very bad loss in the playoffs and most the folks on this board want to be like Dallas and just start over.

How many of you complainers bought a David Carr jersey ?

Ummm...our defense sucks with a ton of talent. Fix the defense and you won't hear a peep out of me. Jake is 100% the QB for next year there is no doubt in my mind and I'm not mad about it but the defense has got to be fixed. Someone on this board said that if we got long term deals done with Peppers and Gross then the complainers would be happy...I also believe that to be true.

To be honest most people are not complaining and are being pretty rational. They are questioning the same things every pundit, critic and announcer is wondering, if everyone is wondering it then there must be cause for it.

Fox has done great for us and he will be here next season, but somewhere along the line his philosophy has changed somewhat, especially defensive. This team is not like the ones in prior years. This team was a TD scoring machine and had huge problems defensively, just the offense bailed them out so many times.

Plus Fox has been with us for 6 years and Trgovac 7, with 5 as DC. I agree continuity is the key to success, but only if there are not fundamental flaws with what is happening in the philosophy.

Status quo won't work. You ALWAYS evaluate at the end of the year and see where you make changes.

Thats why there is a draft and Free Agency and you can trade.

SOMETHING does need to change. If you don't think so can I have your PIN# to your checking acct?

I don't think the defensive philosophy has had any major change, I just think the weakness at DT really reared its ugly head.

Im not a fan of Trgo at all, and havent been for several years. I do think the defense would be much better though with a couple upgrades at DT.

I certainly think Fox should return. I can live with Jake starting next year. But if this team doesn't take some important steps to improve our defense, I will have lost a lot of faith in our team's chances to do deep in the playoffs. The problems with the defense are correctable, though, so that's a positive. :D

The defensive philosophy has changed. The Panthers were a major bump and run team with physical DBs in the Super Bowl season. It is pretty hard to play that style when your CBs line up 7-10 yards off the ball.

The major bump and run stuff ended in 2004 because of changes in the rules byt the NFL.

I am well aware of the changes. However, a DB can still jam a WR within five yards of the line of scrimmage. Again, it is hard to do that when you line up 7-10 yards off the ball.

oddly enough if you payed attention to the last game they played up on the wr's quite a bit, much more than they have the rest of the season. It really doesnt matter when you can't get enough pressure on the QB.

Our secondary this year was better than the 03 secondary. The big difference was on the DL.

    • This was a good breakdown from Daniels.  Last year has had a lasting impact on Young. He still isn't getting the time needed from the OL - the OL we have is made to establish the run and for the run to be in play.  We get behind and have to throw all game we are doomed with this O-line. His receivers have to catch the ball when he makes a good throw to them, he can't have them dropping his good passes. Why are we running 4 slants all toward the same direction?  Why a triple option on 4th and 1? That's on the coaches. Bryce gets hurried and starts slinging the ball where it shouldn't be thrown, more study and recognition from him are needed.  Bryce doesn't step up in the pocket and throws too soon and unbalanced.  He over and under throws the ball because of it.  That's on him.  If the pocket isn't there and he can't get his base set he needs to check down or "live to fight another day." He has been thrown to the wolves and has lost his confidence.  This team doesn't have much, if any, talent and it's a cluster.  I think he can still be an NFL QB.  Maybe not a QB1 in the short term, but if he has a chance with better coaching and personnel he may be better than we are giving him credit for. I think we ruined him last year and have not fixed anything to help him this year.  If we can't run or get way behind all NFL defenses are coming after him.  Dalton has more respect and defenses didn't always sell out to get to him because he'd hit a quick slant, screen, or check down because he has the experience to know what's coming and what to do. Just my 2 cents.
    • All depends on who the backup is. Josh Allen probably would have been benched too if there were better backups than Matt Barkley and Nate peterman.
    • Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.
