When we are getting swept by them every year in the future we will look back on this as the turning point.

 

[ShortRound]

I don't like it one bit.

Would be interesting to research...

How often do coaching-tree hires... hires plausibly made because of association with a highly-regarded head coach... work out well.

I have to imagine those have a better track record than GM hires... but sure would like someone less lazy than me to do the research and tell us what s/he found.

The new ownership wants to win. Complete difference from the last one.

 

[Risen Star]

He's even handsome.

I doubt you're gonna get the dude to do it by calling him a he/she.

"the" turning point was when they got a new owner... there's a lot more to it, but if you don't have a competent person at the top (assuming the new one is, of course, but time will tell) in professional sports... that's normally too much headwind for any other factor to really matter.

Not saying anything novel... we all get that, or I think we do.

There goes the road bump of the NFC East.

RIP Washington Dan Snyder era, you were always good for 2 wins. We’ll miss you.

You're joking, right? Or hypersensitive? Or just genuinely unaware?

There are women here. There are men here.

Writing "s/he" is shorthand for she or he.

I think he has some connection to Vrabel. If so..........we know where this is going

 

[DallasEast]

Stephen Jones: Hey Pa!
Jerry Jones: Yeah son?
Stephen Jones: Joel Harris grabbed Adam Peters from the 49ers. They're gonna give him a title, "President of Football Operations."
Jerry Jones: Sounds like a fancy name for GM.
Stephen Jones: Sure does. Say Pa? Do you think it's time to elevate Will to GM and give him those responsibilities exclusively? You know. To keep him from getting tempted by an outside offer for the job he is already doing?
Jerry Jones: Son, do you think it's time I cut you out of my will?
Stephen Jones: No Pa.
Jerry Jones: Alright then. Where's the remote? Time to turn on ol' Stephen A. He loves talking about my Cowboys ALL the time. YEEEEEEEHAAAAAAW!

I think Vrabel would be a decent hire for them

Drake Maye or Caleb to boot…….

Imagine Vrabel and Harbaugh ( Eagles ) in our division.........of course 100% speculation here

 

[cald0d30s0]

Will see...

Harbaugh and Maye would be very scary. Maye is built for Harbaugh’s offense

 

[rambo2]

It will be funny if they screw up another qb pick. Can you imagine being an old Rdskin fan and going through everything they have hone through?

 

[FVSTONE]

It shouldn't be too long now before the 9ers start heading down the Eagle's path of losers. Here's hoping that more 9er coaches get poached by the bottom-feeders in the NFL.
