Be interesting seeing what a real hammer looks like. Gunna have to keep the wife in the closet for those two

I think its a "sum of the parts" type thing adding the right guy. We wouldn't just be "getting better at one spot". Keon kinda like the Gabe role or even Hollins last year. Guys you hate as a #2, can be plus players as a #3/#4. Improving at one spot should really help everyone else out. Which is why Ive been arguing WR over secondary. One WR (my God someone elite please) who's competent on the boundary could have a really nice synergy for the offense. Help us use space deep, but also horizontally on the field. Adding any one guy in the secondary doesnt move the needle for me. Only as strong as the weakest chain, and improving one spot doesnt raise the floor much. Thats just from a talent standpoint too, without considering a broken scheme. For a defense to stifle an Andy Reid, you have to have playmakers at every level. Its just not possible at this point of season. If we were to make a large move for the defense, the only player I can see substantially raising the floor is Hendrickson (along with the hurt guys healing up). Bosa + Hendrickson could potentially do a lot to help mask problems in the secondary.... but it still gives me major pause and would rather supe-up the offense.

Total speculation but id bet it was unconsciously laying around in back of his mind. Then he got injured again, body not responding like it used to. New playbook and surroundings, no chemistry built from TC. He's a pretty introspective guy. I could see all those changes bringing him to the realization he was done shortly after getting here. We've heard that kind of inner monologue expressed from a bunch of retired players talking about what the end looked like. I think he was a professional and handled it well, its just father time comes for us all

Id much rather try to play ahead. Our defense is bad bad, but we do have solid pass rush this year, and making a team more 1 dimensional early makes that job easier. we set the tone.

The alter boy thing has always been a tired concept here... especially once we built a culture that should be able to support it. with that said Pickens is too f'n stupid to help. Hes one of the dumbest, most childish, immature dbags ive ever seen speak in a lockerroom. I dont care about off the field BS (barring S.A.) AT ALL. DWI's. Baby Mama's. Loud mouths. Overly firey. 110mph in a 55. Occasional drug charge. If theyre talented, produce and good teammates i want them on the team. Pickens, AB, those dude are children, they bring idiocy directly into lockerroom. I want no part of that. Hes incapable of a discussion with. Things like wanting the ball when a team is losing --- thats not a lockerroom issue to me. IDK if you saw those interviews in the lockerroom last year where he refused to speak. Hes not 'too competitive', hes NOT competitive. Wild bug up his arse, and hes shutting down, stop running routes, refuse to block at all. Absolutely 0 part of that. He's a net negative, or on the verge of being one at all times and over nothing

Was floating around last year around this time, after he got his DWI. It never came out from a Schefter, but 100% believe it. That team needs a lot in a brutal division. They paid JJ at the top of the market (as they shouldv'e). I believe it was even rumored maybe theyd try to trade him (JJ) at his top value and save the $$. I dont think there was real legs to that one, but Im sure they fielded calls looking for a Kings ransom. Thats a ton of $$ at one position, which is fine, but doing Due Diligence too. Weve seen Higgins+Chase money on the Bengals. Different situations I know, but theyd also be dumb to turn down a major deal. They are probably looking for a QB still. Cant pay 2 guys top $$ without knowing who QB is. I think he can 100% be pried away from them. The cost is going to hurt, but thats a premium position to fill. It should hurt.

Better than getting fired! Better than getting laughed at after ANOTHER 2nd Rd Exit Better than the narrative of "this guy thought Keon was a #1" following you around during interviews with new teams

They cant afford to pay him and JJ, was already rumored last year. See Cinci w/ Higgins and Chase this year. Also, he seems to have pissed off the staff. ight be a blessing in disguise. Force their damn hand

If were spending that, we can get much better prospects without glaring flaws than Olave. 1st and 3rd probably gets you Addison, with 2 FULL years signed left, his hit for this year would be a hair under $2M. DJ Moore is 1st & 3rd territory as well, unsure of the contract though. The "Coleman and a 5th" guys are delusional.... but I think he has some value. Coleman + 2nd and 3rd / Coleman + 1st + 5th , type deal also gets it done, and keeps a GM from getting killed by the media/fans. Im fully expecting a big WR, id be shocked if we dont

If we get a sure fire dude I dont care. How much money have we wasted chasing half measures. We pick late too. Drafting one is expensive, and nobody wants to move down that far.... and thats based on potential. Stop being cheap, go pay the going rate for a true #1, and then guess what.... you can be done with it. The opportunity loss cost has been high enough, with no end in sight. You get what you pay for

How would we know? BC Brady inherited an over the top checked out, mental midget version of Diggs? Then inherited a trash WR core otherwise? Brady has pissed me off plenty, but we need a WR this year and following years anyways, lets at least see what Brady can do with a #1, not a cast of #3's. If he cant make it work, than our new OC(staff?) will have a WR. I'm going all in for Jordan Addison, he'd have 2 years after this. Call them up and ask them what they want, name your price. We saw what an old, half retired Cooper did for us just with his reputation/presence. Lets get a young stud in here that wants to win and wants to show he's a #1. Give Josh some help. The only way were winning anything is on Josh's talent.... so wasting resources on the defense is not viable, and has shown its not. Help the guy who can make it happen. Hell, go win a SB and then see what type of HC you can hire. You think nobody would be lining up for that job?!?

Addison makes a helluva lot more sense for all involved, is younger, easily fit under the cap, and not on a team thinking about repeating. I think its so doable. Beane mind as well make a splash play, what's he going to save picks for someone else? Were one receiver and McD taking over play calling away from still being a SB threat (despite coaching, not anything theyre doing).

Whats your move Kirby? I know game just ended. Im not willing to throw away a Josh Allen season. I want McD gone immediately, but cant justify it with two young coordinators. I highly suspect Babich lost game call duties at half time. I think im: -Firing Babich in AM -McD can call rest of year -Go get the best WR you can -Kick the tires on a 2nd RB upgrade or rental (lowest priority by far, but exploring) -Telling Brady to pull out all the stops. Unlearn the word complimentary. The goal is 40/game. Get ahead, turn these offenses into 1-D units, let these pass rushers get after it full time

Has this ever happened? Seems unlikely. Having two young Coordinators makes it harder. Im not thrilled with the options but if im given the driver seat: Fire Babich, McD can finish season out calling plays on defense... add him to the trash heap Black Monday

This is the most well reasoned take, IIIIFFFF im guaranteed that McD is gone without a SB win. If theres a chance that we let McD snakes his way into keeping his job, then just get him off the staff
