I've felt that Troy was just hanging around the facility for the amenities and because he's got nothing better to do and he's not really engaged in the coaching, like a retired sea captain who hangs out all day in waterfront bars because he can't move on. It saddens me.
Tavai absolutely is one of the bright spots on this team. He absolutely has a place on this team going forward. It's just so hard to watch them.. even at full strength before the Injury bug bit they couldn't score. It took me some time..But I realize Mac isn't it. I look at QBs all over the league especially rookies. CJ stroud is amazing. Huge arm and he has less to work with than Mac does. So this projects to be vastly different team next season.. unfortunately we have to deal with Mac for another season solely becuase he's "cheap".. I'll agree the defense has checked out.
If I'm Troy I'd go back into sports commentary he was great on TV.. why would he want to leave and get underpaid on BBs staff, deal with these building 19 WR'S. It's mind boggling. In sure NBC Boston had to be paying him more than pennies on the dollar Bill does.
I know fans get sacred of blowing it all up and drafting a young guy early in the draft but that is really the way to do it 90% of the time. You might end up with Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, or Sam Darnold but you could also end up with Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, Josh Allen etc. That position you really need to swing for the fences and hope you hit big.
Agreed. As I've mentioned we'll have Mac at least one more season then he'll probably sign with San Fran as a back up. I still believe Trey Lance is talented and has a cannon. If we took a flyer on him I'd be all for it. I'll say ownership has been forced to have a look in the mirror and pretty much a football intervention this season. RK very much cares how his team is perceived locally and nationally. I keep hearing people say rock bottom.. we've already reached that this season... Godchaux his post game interview was very telling of how the defense feels. I believe as you said blow it up.. get rid of these bad contracts.. I think Parker and juju contracts aren't that bad ,easy to get out from under.
Juju and Parker would be about $14 million in dead cap post June 1st next year. We have almost that much dead cap money this year with Jonnu at $12.8 mill so it is definitely doable. My main issue with them is just having to watch them play every week. Thornton is frustrating to watch as he can't run routes and seems to loaf it but at least there is the slim chance he beats someone deep and Mac actually gets him the ball. Boutte we have no idea on because he can't get on the field. I'd rather lose and let young guys get reps than lose with guys who won't be here (hopefully) in a year.
Harry could block too.
Yeah.. zo has said he's doesn't believe juju is right. That he's still not 100%.. if so then he should have been on PUP to start the season. I like juju, but I just don't think he fits this offense. So I can see them trading Parker or juju contract in the offseason. I have no faith at all they can draft and develop any WRs. Troy brown has some accountability in this too.. he publicly lobbied for the job when he was a sports analyst. I'd rather loose too and watch pop continue to play and gain experience. This season gave us all fans, ownership emphatic proof of where we are as a team in 2023 NFL.
I think I am. Coming to this view. I have been a Mac supporter till date but guess it time to move on. His skillset do not match well with our needs.
if he couldn’t make his cuts because his foot was injured how much was on him for saying he was good to go when he wasn’t?
You don't have Douglas fight for jump balls on the sideline. You don't have Thorton run to a stop and then expect him to out juke a cornerback. You just don't.
Brutal. There's the reason he was cut by Philly.Love the football that hit him right off his hands. Way to drop it Reagor.
Agreed. But just the overall construction of the roster.. you have to wonder why BB left this offense without It's main parts. 3rd down back, and slot WR.. how much better could Mac have been if James white never went down his rookie season. I know we are decimated by injury. But still had we properly stocked the offense we could have sustained injuries.
