Of course you do . Lamb one of the highest paid receivers in the league Tolbert made progress this yr . Hopefully TE position gets rediscovered in 2025 and I expect a WR to get drafted in April
You have more faith in Jerry than I do. We should have drafted a rb last year. Instead we bring back Zeke. I have no faith in him. He practically gave away two 4th round draft picks. He never participates in free agency. It would be difficult for a good coach h to overcome him. B.S. won't have much say in what we do. He's just anotherr puppet

Brian Stewart was calling our defense in 2007 and 2008 before Wade took the playcalling back from him. That was a Wade, not Jerry decision.
What input did Wade have on offensive playcalling? He was the HC. Have you ever heard of a HC that didn't have any authority over his offense and OC?

Whether a HC has an offensive or defensive background, he is supposed to be ultimate decision maker on both sides. Any coach not qualified to manage defense or offense is not qualified to be a HC. Obviously, a HC with a particular background is going to make sure to hire an expert for the other side that he trusts will be aligned with his strategy.

What does that have to do with what I typed?

It appears Micah is as depressed as the rest of us. If we have another down season, wouldn't be surprised if he wants out. And you really couldn't blame him.

No one should be blaming Brian Schottenheimer for any of this. He didn't hire himself. I actually feel bad for the guy as he is being viewed with near unanimous scorn for a position that he was offered. This should be one of the happiest moments of his life, and sadly it will end up being one that has a mix of boos and a laugh track assigned to it.

If any moron at training camp or games chants Jerry's name and asks for their autograph, then they are not true fans of this football team. They are imbeciles.

I think Kellen Moore would have been a worse hire TBH.
At least that one is defensible. He managed to take a below average QB (sorry Hurts is not good) and still make them a serious offensive threat. The idea of him being a HC candidate is not crazy to me. This is literally crazy.

He took two average qbs the other being the one starting here and made them an offensive threat.

You should be pissed Floatyworm, the Cowboys think Schotty is actually better than your boy Moore.

I would take Moore so fast over this Nepo baby hire.......................Beast is pissed right now:mad:
Oh I am to some degree......But in a strange sort of way......I'm happy for Kellen not being dragged down by this loser of a franchise.
Kellen doesn't deserve going down with this franchise. It's just amazing....How bad this franchise has become. I'm starting to think that Stephen is the catalyst behind all this. He runs the cap.....Doesn't spend money. Now he's the voice that Jerry hears....and follows. It's just sickening that the greatest brand in football......is about to go through the worst period in it's history.

I would put Dak a tier above Hurts (I have Hurts in that tier with players like Darnold and Tua and Murray) but again it is still worth noting that the offense here was also top 5 when he was OC.

At 82 I don’t think he wants to see 7-10 again . As owner GM get better at your job Jerry

Will be interesting to see what happens. Reality is his current OC job for a top notch organization loaded with offensive talent is light years better than HC here where you are humiliated and undermined by the owner on a daily basis. I bet he gets offered an HC job somewhere in the next couple years.
With KMoore and BenJ off the board, I think Jerry panicked. We need someone to fix the offense.

I have Dak on the same level as Kirk Cousins who imo is his football twin. Wherever you have Cousins is where I have Dak and I still think that’s most likely average and not good enough to be the highest paid player in the league.

As far as Hurts I got old sec beef with him in not thinking he’s good lol. LSU Bama thing I guess so you’ll get no arguments from me he isn’t that good of a passing qb.
