I wish there was a way we could start from scratch

Lots of negativity here. But for all the flaws this roster has, stupid coaching cost this team at least four wins last year. I think they were closer to 12-4 than to 8-8.

Let's get a couple playmakers in the secondary, get the DT position sorted out, and get long-term, team friendly deals done with Dak and Coop and roll. I'm eager to see what Mike McCarthy and an almost totally revamped coaching staff can do. There's a new culture here.

The only recent draft decision I want a re-do of is drafting Taco over T.J. Watt. :banghead:

I actually think we are in great shape with a young core and the salary cap. have most of the prime positions taken care of with quality young depth along the line. We just need to nail the next two drafts and our future should be fine. And spend the money wisely in FA coming up.

The firing of Garrett opens up possibilities we never had before.

But we have one of the most “talented” rosters in the league, or so I’ve been told.
Plenty of top heavy talent, but huge holes remain in between them. And coaching has been a huge issue. Garrett to McCarthy is a monster jump as well as the other coaches.

This is probably another way of saying, I think thr F.O. has made all the wrong moves and even when the right moves are made, there seems to be a downside.

no 4 pick in the draft, The highest spot in decades. He's good but year after year the opportunity to draft a good rb avails itself at a lower cost and we make it worse by extending him early at a record breaking cost.

Draft a LB with an early 2nd that is a non factor for a couple of years and then shows flashes so you have to extend him with a huge contract just to see him regress.

Use a first on a DE that does nothing , passing on much better players just to cut him.

Draft a L B with neck issues that you have to worry about going forward.

Use a 1st on a trade for a wr with only a year and a half of control without making the trade contingent on an extension. He's good enough to dominate occasionally but disappears for long stretches and expects to be paid like one of the greatest of all time.

Use your highest pick on a DT with a known lack of motivation just to sit him on the bench.

The one lucky move you make is drafting a top 15 QB in the 4th rd but now he expects to be paid like he is a multi year SB MVP.

You dedicate tons of assets towards an OL that can't pick up a yard on 4th and 1.

You pay your pass rush specialist like he is the re-incarnation of Reggie White just to see him play like a mid level DE.

You use a 1st rd pick on a CB who is above avg but can't get turnovers just to have to lose him because everyone else is being paid like mvp's.

Jerry, quit being a cheerleader and an ego booster selling jerseys of inflated assets and become a disciplined leader of a team that fans can be proud of.

BTW Safeties and 1-techs are important parts of any good defense.
You’ll find me swinging from my ceiling fan now. Thanks for bringing this all home for us.

There is a way to start from scratch.

But Jerrah would have a heart attack from it.

The hindsight is 20/20 huh?

There are moments in my life and times..

where I would look back and couldn't find any friends of mine..


wait.

I think I just wrote the lyrics of a new hit song.

Nay..

anyway..where were we?

Starting over.

As a fan of this team, I can assure you we never start over.

We just open a blank page and start writing..

Fire Garrett

Cut Witten

Do not resign Lee

Do not spend our $80 mil in cap in 2020.

Do not sign Dak

Do not sign Amari

If anybody calls and asks for Byron Jones-say we never heard of him

Start over.

:grin:
