Name some

To say a guy has no hope one year in is dumb.

I would call Terry back and tell him I don't take the job without a guaranteed 10 year no fire contract.

Not now. Maybe later in the season if a contender has an injury pop up.

I'm puzzled they haven't brought an O lineman in.

Yes, relative to one of the hysteria around here.

Do yourself a favor and look at the roster of playoff teams last year.

I am still wondering why there is not a new O lineman here

Not saying they can't or shouldn't. They absolutely need to improve. But when folks say they have done nothing right , and they are coming off a playoff year, that is simply ridiculous.

I'll take your advice and not respond to the OP anymore here.

Perhaps

They could have been better on offense. And defense. And they were in the playoffs. And they addressed offense by bringing in a new OC, drafted their potential franchise QB(did you see TTs performance Sunday by the way?). You can try and wriggle out of it any way you want but your position is we should be negative because they made the playoffs. That is ridiculous.

What crap. What absolute unadulterated crap. You spout off how it's the folks that are negative that are right. They made the playoffs last year as the most obvious evidence that you're wrong. And your response is it didin't count because they weren't fun to watch? You are absolutely ridiculous with this stuff.

I hate to see any young person waste their talents.

They were in the playoffs last year. That noise you hear is the mike dropping.

Wasn't the run D pretty good Sunday?

I think McD's thing is he wants guys that really care about playing football. Dareus was not showing that here. I think he'd have no problem with guys that are a little different so long as they work their butt off.

Wish we had kept Hogan and Watkins. One out of two ain't bad.

You do not have a clue how any of those guys are going to pan out. I was a Rosen guy myself, but Allen has shown encouraging early signs.

Did he sit Sunday because he was dinged up?

Hope you're wrong on Allen too. I am encouraged by what I've seen so far. Now Dareus. Recall the picture of McD with Dareus during camp last year? Recall the late attendance at meetings, etc.? It's not like McD didn't try to get the kid to come around. But at some point you can't pay a guy the top salary on the team and get the least effort. You just can't build a successful team that way. He was a good guy with Marrone last year, but in the off season has a potential rape charge. I won't be a bit surprised if his problems rear their head again this year.

Bingo

Agreed. Kyle said today McD doesn't criticize publicly. But I sure hope he did privately. The effort the other day was awful. And he and Daboll have to get Castillo in a room and tell him to get the line in gear or start looking for new employment.

They work well together. They have a plan. If it works they're heros. If not they're toast.

I will flat out guarantee you were one of the ones howling about how they have to draft a potential franchise QB. They do that and you still complain. I will flat out also guarantee that if they had traded back to get more picks you'd have howled about not getting Allen. I'd be willing to bet you did that with White, and went nuts they didn't take Mahomes, didn't you? The last two drafts they have a QB, they have the QB on D, a top flight CB, and a starting LT. And other guys that will fill roles. You want All Pros at every spot guaranteed. Completely unrealistic.
