Quinnen Williams trade might have been a mistake

Correct. Parker is making him read and react instead of shooting gaps. Don't see any way that that's not moronic.

Quinnen Williams played great against the Texans yesterday, he was shooting gaps and collapsed the pocket. Quinnen looked like a pro bowl 3 technique defensive tackle, really in the last 2 games. But I think he played better against the Texans than he did against the Ravens . This front 7 is improving.

Absolutely. Parker has changed a bit of what he's requiring Q to do, most obviously. He played better because they changed his duties.

The team regards itself as being in win-now mode - whether any of us agree with that or not. They were always going to trade one of those two first round picks.

There were far worse players they could have done it for.

They have a funny way of showing it. If that's the case, you don't hire a DC to learn on the job. You don't hire a HC who is still learning on the job. You can't have your cake and eat it too... If you want to be in win-now mode, you have to have the right coaches and players in place to get you there and spend the money to make sure it happens. Yes, I get there's a cap but the Joneses need to figure out how to control the cap and pay the right players.

Then why not hire a win now head coach? John Harbaugh and Mike Tomlin were available.

I think we know the answer to that.
