  1. Ron isn't going anywhere this season and he is a 100% gone after the season. Harris wants the team to tank so they can get the highest possible pics, incompetence of Riverra is the best way to achieve that goal.
  2. Ron's roster building philosophy " Its not about skill!.. its about position flex!.. who else has a safety who could also play center in a pinch?!"
  3. I am actually a bit with Zcommander on this.. I am not going to say that Howell is already better than Josh Allen... but by the end of their careers i would not be surprised if Howell has the better outcome. 1. At this point the sample size for Howell is waaay too small... so claiming him to be better than Allen is crazy.... but 2. Allen has all the physical tools you would ever want in a QB. Tall, big, fast, rocket arm, can make every throw... the one intangible he seems to be missing is between the ears. Analysts say that "well he is just a gunslinger and you expect int that from gunslingers" yeah.. thats bs,..he throws some ugly interceptions in the worst possible time. And its not like he is playing with scrubs around him. You know who else had all the physical tools and talent but had issues between the ears.. Wentz. Where is he now? This is that one intangible that Howell has in spades... on top of good arm and good mobility Burrows is a freaking stud... i would trade this whole team for Burrows and just have him throw passes to himself.
  4. The only scenario where I would be ok with Bill here is: 1. We hire a GM who has control of the team, draft and player acquisition 2. GM has a major say in the OC hire. 3. Bill mostly focuses on the D side (he is still a stud D coach)
  5. JDR IS a dinosaur, inept as a D coordinator and a bum In 4 years with him as a D coordinator we have had a good D for exactly half a season (2nd half of 2022) 4 years in the same system, 4 years with mostly same personnel, 4 years of high pics thrown away on crappy players ... and 4 years of mostly atrocious D. Only a moron like Rivera can keep an underperforming loser like that around.
  6. I am pissed at the dumb Browns for not trading for Brisset. I think a 5th rd pick would have done it. Now we are stuck with a guy we dont need and will lose for nothing next year and Browns with #1 D and a pretty solid team will go nowhere with their current QB stable of nobodies
  7. Does EB get some credit for Sams development.... sure... some. But his job is not "QB Developer" " you play, to win, the game!" As an OC i see a lot of short comings. 1. I have no doubt he was the driving factor in Wash signing Willie - when pretty much everyone knew he sucked except for one game. 2. His boneheadedly slow adjustment to play-calling and O line switch. WTF does it take 9 weeks to see that Oline as whole is terrible, and especially center and guard suck when you have replacements on the roster? 3. The amount of sacks Sam took is at least half on EB... again because he wouldn't adjust his playcalling He is actually lucky that Sam has a short memory and seems unshakable.. of he had a bit more of Wentz in him, Briset would already be starting. Just because he decided to call 80% passes is not enough to give him full credit, especially when taking all the other OC failures in to account
  8. no way EB is getting a HC job after this year. I am not even that sure that he is a good O coordinator
  9. D line performance is what everyone was afraid of and the reason i wanted to trade Payne..... nobody wants to talk about it but... as soon as he got paid he went back to his inconsistent self, giving partial effort and taking plays off. Allen seems to be in a similar boat, maybe there is an inj issue we dont know about but Dline this year has been subpar
  10. its pretty interesting with what's happening now... we have never had a good enough passing game to truly understand the value and overall capabilities of our WRs so this season is a great learning tool and confirmation because we tend to overate our players, what i am seeing is: 1. Terry is very good, not great. He will likely never be great but a very good 1B 2. Jahan is a Good WR, not very good (at least not yet) - good complimentary piece 2A/ 1C 3. Samuels is good to very good with specific game planning.. but his production can be easily replaced and he is gone after this season anyway. 4. A great TE in EB system will be worth his weight in Gold. Thomas is ok/good but old and inj prone. TE upgrade is a must Upgrade at WR in the next draft should absolutely be on the table.. but only if the GM thinks he can be a true 1A This could push other WRs down the board and allow us to have a truly elite group. Also, it gives us options when Terrys contract expires to let him walk and/ or sign or let Doctson walk.
  11. boom! Hey Ron.. give me a call, i am open for work.
  12. i don't see it.. Bill would want complete control of player personnel .. something that is a weakness for him. Now if agrees to work for a GM who has player acquisition control.. sign me up!
  13. No way Pats put up 34... they have no WRs left.. even against this sh!tty D. This might be the game to start Forbes... if he can't look competent against pats Wrs.. they might as well demote him to water boy
  14. I honestly don't get the narrative that the new HC will automatically want to bring in his own QB. Howell has already shown that he can play at this level and be successful. At worst he is 2nd half of the league starting QB caliber. Any new HC will look at his tape and see him as a potential starter.. now he might have to compete for a job next year but he will get his shot unless: we tank badly and draft in top 5 - you have to take a QB at that point. we trade a bunch of capital to get in to the top 3pics to draft a QB - this is less likely if we finish with 6+ wins and since Howell has shown enough to be given another year. even if one the above things happen - which i doubt since this team has a lot of holes... -Howell could still start as the new qb gets acclimated to the NFL -having Howell as backup at <1mil a year is a deal.. and i am sure we will get a number of offers for him. As a HC having a potential starting QB on the team for almost nothing .. and yet having the option to go in any direction when it comes to a QB is scenarios most coaches dream about.
  15. lol.. yes because that has happened how many time with Ex- washington players? These guys are overrated.. Both sweat and young are basically Orakpo... good pass rushers that will average 6-10 sacks a year, but will be paid top of the market money. Myles Garret they are not.
  16. lol to all the hair puller... don't worry! our D will be just as bad with Henry and Toohill
  17. Love the CY deal for the Niners (my 2nd fav NFL team) They are in win now mode.. and he will help. And even if he plays just ok and they decide not to sign him to an LTD. They can either trade him and get back 4-5th rd pick.... or let him walk for a 2025 3rd comp pic.. basically its a no lose trade for them... as long as he stays healthy.
  18. Normally owner should stay out of GM type decisions... except for at this moment in time with this team. 1. All current FO decisions are driven by getting the best out of this team now, this season.... in order to even half a chance to keep their job.. No long term thought. 2. This FO has repeatedly shown its incompetence when it comes to FA acquisition, draft, etc. Taking these decisions out of Rons/ JDRs hands is imperative and allowing them to continue making major decisions is border line malpractice.
  19. everything changed... 1. If they got the 1st down.. they could have at the very least run the clock out.. more likely at least a fg.. so the score at half would have been 17-3.. at worst 14-3. Instead it was 17-10 (4-10 potential point differential) it was dumb on multiple levels... 1. running game was working well and getting one yard would have been relatively easy, higher % play 2. it would have kept to clock running, forced eagles to use a time out most of all it just seemed like the demeanor of this team changed... as they watched Eagles get big play after big play. I am not saying Wash would have worn the game.. but they would have a better chance with a better lead
  20. i would honesty want to move them both (Sweat and Young) if i had the option to keep one.. i would absolutely keep Sweat - consistent production, health - good but not great. I dont trust Young.. his game, or his commitment once he gets paid. If you dont trade him now.. you're basically hoping for a comp pic in 25
  21. Chase Young for a 2nd.... and we will throw in Dumbo Ron for a bucked of coleslaw... someone please pick up the phone!!!
