Low Positive Posted January 10 Posted January 10 The Seahawks wanted to let Carrol go last year, but the team went out and made the playoffs. Quote
ControllerOfPlanetX Posted January 10 Posted January 10 Belicheat ain’t leaving..it’s all been a smoke-and-mirrors job to tank for a QB. Quote
Sestak4ever Posted January 10 Posted January 10 I know it’s not the NFL, but it’s reported that Nick Saban is retiring. Not sure if it’s legit. Couldn’t copy the post. 1 Quote
UKBillFan Posted January 10 Posted January 10 1 hour ago, WhitewalkerInPhilly said: It sounds like the Carroll situation is that the Seahawks want to move on, but are leery about ungraciously showing a long tenured and Super Bowl winning coach the door, so they are promoting him to "advisor" Robert Kraft is now phoning the estate of Paul Allen to find out how they did it. 2 Quote

Bills could sign him as an additional staff and if Bills get ring he does too. 15 minutes ago, UKBillFan said: Robert Kraft is now phoning the estate of Paul Allen to find out how they did it. Maybe Seahawks and Cheats will swap coaches. Quote

That's hardly a restricted club. Who are the 2 I missed? Jonathan Gannon John Harbaugh Sean McDermott Matt Eberflus DeMeco Ryans Shane Steichen Bill Belichick Dennis Allen Robert Saleh Mike Tomlin Todd Bowles Quote

They will only really be missing that QB before being a force to be reckoned with You can never be the best coach without a Franchise QB. And Franchise QBs don't fall off the sky. Go Bills !!! 1 Quote

They beat: 1 .Buffalo - if the Bills run the ball up 10+ in the second half game is over. 2. The Pats 😂 3. Denver the team that gave up 70 prior to getting better later in the season 4. The Panthers 😂 5. The Eagles - nice win 6. The Commanders 😂 7. Texans - he schemed well vs a rookie QB Tell me again how he's a good coach Quote

I thought Harbaugh was Special Teams, but since he was a defensive assistant at times and in his final year before getting the Ravens job, I'll concede that one too. So 2/3. Quote
stuvian Posted January 10 Posted January 10 The Titans had better have something up their sleeve. Vrabel was one of better coaches and won't be easily replaced or improved upon. I expect them to occupy the basement for some time to come 3 Quote
HappyDays Posted January 11 Posted January 11 (edited) 7 hours ago, The Jokeman said: New QB or next generational WR in Marvin Harrison Jr? or a possible trade down if they have faith in Fields. Five years ago I would have said take a QB no matter what. But I've changed my tune on this. I think QBs like Hurts and Tua and Purdy have shown that having a good QB plus elite weapons is maybe the best path to a Super Bowl. Especially if the QB is mobile which naturally increases the margin for error. You need a great defense too, and the Bears are close. They could trade down for a boatload of picks, draft MHJ (giving them arguably two #1 WRs with DJ Moore already there), build up the OL and defense, and head into 2024 ready to make waves in a relatively average division. I sincerely think they could compete for a Super Bowl next year if they have a great draft, and they'll likely still have several high picks in the 2025 draft from the trade down. Not an easy decision but I'd ride with Fields and try to build the most elite possible team around him. Edited January 11 by HappyDays 1 1 Quote

Not an easy decision but I'd ride with Fields and try to build the most elite possible team around him. MHJ is just too good to pass up, imo. Especially when you have even a half-decent QB. Plus, I'm not sold on Caleb Williams as such a sure thing. MHJ #1, the best OT at #9, then Defense the rest of they way. Maybe grab a Center in the mid/late rounds. The only argument I can agree with for picking Williams is it kicks the QB Contract can down the road a few more year as Fields is already going into his 4th year. But I think they can still pivot away from Fields before they have to pay him, and will at least have the foundation set for any other QB they acquire in 2026. Quote

If the Bears aren't totally sold on Fields, they should draft a QB with the top pick. Doubling down is better than hitching the entire wagon to Fields and missing on a rare chance of drafting #1 Edited January 11 by Fan in Chicago 1 Quote

Obviously, if they are certain they are ready to move on now, sure. But from my limited viewpoint, it's tough for me to pass up the talent they could add to the team over yet another shot-in-the-dark QB Quote
