I'm targeting Seattle, post-bye. They need to look like a fully-functioning, high-level offense by then or I sincerely think they should fire Caley and hire Mike McCarthy the following day.
No calming down. I’m through with this team. Utter embarrassment in almost every facet, special teams is ok, but how have we not done ONE line drive kick that bounces?
Chip Kelley - who was not only available but had a history with DeMeco and had just coached at Stroud’s alma mater and would’ve had access to unique insights from Day and his staff - is a big whiff. I’m starting to think McNair and/or Caserio are cheap. WTF would you not pay top dollar for the offensive coordinator of your regressing franchise QB?!?!
Agreed… was a strange pivot to see them close, and then all off sudden no deal. Caserio seems to be also trying to ensure ultimate job security vs. a win no matter what mentality. No crazy potentially cap harming deals (but no high upside ones either). Even the guaranteed money to the WR drafted (who hasn’t done ****) is a “safe” deal to avoid holdouts/re-negotiations if he busts out. 1 year deals.. 2 year deals…. More rookies… and a lot of unproven. I also don’t look at NFL GM’s like other sports. In the end, it’s ultimately the HC’s team… and their vision/stamp/attitude/persona that takes the field every week, not the GM’s. You can have a GM/Coach with a good working relationship…. But this setup seems like theres a combination of experimentation, inexperience, figuring it out on the fly, and as always a **** ton of OTJ training. McNair is still a buffoon… but at least you know he’ll stay out of the way. Ideally they’d already have a more VP of operations type that brings on an experience coach to run the personnel side. One year they’ll “figure it out”… it’s only year 23.
