Reflecting on recent personnel moves

Very original

 

Yeah i am beating a dead horse arent I? But eventually it will happen.

 

No reason to think we didn't kick the tires on trading for Milton. I wanted Milton too. I like the thought of getting a young QB so we don't need to draft one this year. But that would leave us with only 5 picks this draft. It's s deep draft in several positions. Poor at QB but rich at others is a plan as well.

 

Hard pass on Milton. Arm like a cannon but not accurate and no touch. With his size, I always expected him to be more a threat to run but he goes down on first contact.

 

Yep, agreed. I have no idea of we looked into it or not. I remember reading that the Patriots were shopping him sort of. There was a little bit of discussion on bringing him here. I liked that idea but several did not.


I would love to get rich in quality DBs for a change. Seems we're always one short.

 

Very optimistic

 

I've thought about that, and I think they're biting off more than they can chew. You've got rebuild vs. retool, contention vs. all-in. Right now they don't have to think about going all-in any more than committing a full rebuild. But they're concerning themselves with retooling strategies to the point that they're impeding their progress as a contender.

Thus they remain spinning their wheels in the rut of nine-win seasons.

 

I have a weird thing for some of the cartoon and comic strip ladies. Dug me some Betty and was sure I could kick Barney's ass When she came of age of course, your picture is when they were kiddies.

If I could have entered cartoon world as a teen I would have been on Judy Jetson like white on rice.

 

Betty & Veronica

 

Ahnakahnapahn!

 

Something about this ain’t not none right

 

Oh yeah

 

The entire offensive line has been completely redone since three seasons ago. The LB corp has been rebuilt (sans Watt). The QB room has been rebuilt, now twice. The DL is about to undergo a rebuild.

They won't call it a rebuild, but that's what it is.

 

A rebuild is more invasive, going beyond areas of the roster. The coaching staff (and sometimes FO) are flushed and reset, and skill payers traded out for draft picks that are used to build the foundation of the new staff's scheme.

Art openly supported the coaching staff after the season, declining even the idea of adding a few specialized assistants to the group (that many in the league already have). Okay, but then the space was there to add more impactful players this year, but they opted instead to protect all potential comp picks next year while dropping $30M/yr on a wide receiver when only Skylar Thompson was available to play QB.

They're trying to do two things at once, and it shows. Their moves come off as half-measures.

 

I take it you were not impressed with Tomlin firing the secondary coach as his attempt at cleaning house? LOL.

 

It’s not a rebuild

Actually the average career of an nfl player is only 3.3 years which equates to a half life of about 20 months

What they are doing is certainly not out of line from this

 

And don't call it a comeback.

forgotten1 will have fun with that.
