Could be. i don't think the rebuild will be that brief, but I'd love to be wrong. I think the focus should still be on longer term potential, not on the sort of relatively sure, but declining, thing that is a free agent. We'll see.
Short-term free agents are a waste of resources for a team this bad, in the midst of a multi-year rebuild. Winning now is entirely beside the point: we need to focus on the rebuild.
Yep, the argument around these issues gets sort of weird. Bill was fired for being an abysmal GM toward the end and an erratic, declining HC. That he was a grump had, in my mind, little to do with it. This also means. very importantly, that it makes no sense as you choose your next coach to base...
C'mon now. Let's not think for ourselves. Remember: this is now a collaborative chat room. Do we need a drum circle or a brief yoga retreat to get our toxic white male head screwed on straight?
We now have decent prospects for a passable QB and WR room. We now have decent prospects for sub-par backups and one quality swing man on OL. I do understand that the team was very unlikely to address all three areas of weakness in a single off-season, but the effort at rebuldling the OL has...
I would predict two years under Mayo/Wolf with steady but unacceptably modest improvement, then a year or two under a duo capable of finishing the job. Four years.
The trend in discussion of this matter seems a little off to me. We have moved from one coach to another. I think we would do well to regard this, to the extent possible, as a chance to start over. In dwelling too much of the respects in which Mayo is or is not like Bill, or is a corrective for...
It is a pleasure to read a post so well argued. I will stick with my C-, but your post makes me think I may be a bit too hard a grader. I may not give sufficient weight to he apparently wise decision to draft Maye, for example.
I hear the argument that if Maye works out, it is a good draft. No one will argue that the QB pick is the most important one, but it is ridiculous to suggest that the other picks do not therefore matter in our evaluation of what is (I fervently hope) a probationary group leading the dance. If...
As I have written about this several times, I will only say explicitly here what I have implied in a more genteel manner elsewhere: I am convinced Mayo is not ready for the job and that all these silly Oprahesque idees recues which clutter Jerrod's head, cloud his judgment, and flow so volubly...
I guess I just don't see how someone who says nothing at length and then, when he does stumble into actually saying something, immediately contradicts it, or retracts it at the next opportunity, is the sort of leader one wants. I think people like him because he's "nice." I couldn't care less...
Other teams are busy, I see. Our team is "collaborating," or something.
I went through the transcript of Mayo's WEEI appearance:
He is a master of sometimes immediate self-contradiction. I am not quibbling over diction or rhetoric: this is a firmly established habit of mind for Mayo, and I...
I would concentrate on what the defense is likely to look like down the road given the aging out of some players there and the expiring contracts of others. It would be foolish at this point to try to secure replacements by trade/acquisition (or to resign aging players) because such acquisitions...
I agree with this, and I think there is some reason for hope. I also think fans are within their rights to express reservations re the team's decisions. I know you do as well. i would have preferred a more aggressive and creative approach both to the draft and to free agency, and I suspect the...
