LABILLBACKER

The window for the ultra athletic running version of Josh is 5 years. The pocket passer version should be good till 35/36ish. And if these coaches refuse to get him OL help, those numbers all decrease.

Rooting for rematch of SB 16 & 23. This time Cincy winning. SF has enough Lombardis.

The bottom line is Josh is a once in a lifetime generational talent. He's asked by his coaches to be 85% of the offense based on his surrounding support system. Josh with all his amazing athletic ability does his best to be Superman. But the coaching asking this of him is both foolish, selfish and unsustainable. The goal for every team should go beyond settling for playoff appearances.

Maybe a bbq star....🙄

I'll take #3 for $500 Alex...joking aside it was an odd pick that turned into a terrible pick. Could've taken OG Dylan Parham who went next pick.

I have no doubt Hamlin returns as our backup FS. The odds of commotio cordis happening again are 1: 1,000,000. This upcoming season will be Hyde's last so we'll probably draft a S late.

Firstly I'm happy we don't have a meddling owner. And I'm not naive enough to think McDermott isn't calling the shots. Beane may be the one physically making the picks but I 100% guarantee you Sean is heavily involved in the selection of ALL defensive players. He let's Beane select the offensive guys. Picking up Von was not a bad move albeit expensive. Just bad luck (billsy) that he got hurt. The failed defensive draft picks fall on Sean.

1. OL 2. Coaching 3. WR

Dude you're not wrong and I agree with everything in your post. They'll always be those loyal to McD because he dug us out of the drought. And for that I'm thankful. You either build your team around Josh or you don't.

Yeah Paris will be long gone by 15 or so. Not a fan of moving Dion yet. Slide Bates over to LG and both Dawkins & Bates play improves. We're probably only getting one more year out of Morse. Let Spencer experiment at RG and sign Taylor (Jags) for RT. Love moving Benford to SS. Hate keeping Tremaine @20M. Draft heavy on OL/WR.

Well said. Our defense instead of generating turnovers, it's like we wait for an overthrow int. or an unforced fumble. We never jump a route or tackle someone so hard the ball pops out. We're just not coached to be a ball hawking team. All Leslie expects is backpedal into your assigned zones and hope for front 4 pressure that never comes.

Exactly, we have to rebuild the OL before we worry about RB's. OL, WR's and maybe 1 TE should be the early round priorities.

Our defense always folds in the playoffs. You can set your watch to it. Frazier should've been fired after 13 seconds. Dragging him out there another year just shows the issues with this staff.

I also agree with Simon's idea of returning Bates to LG which also made Dion better. Then experiment with Spencer at RG. Go out and sign Taylor at RT or draft a T early. We'll also need to draft a C early as this likely will be Morse's last year.

In reality and with hindsight we should've probably fired McD after 13 seconds and promote Daboll as HC.

I would keep Beane as I feel the majority of the defensive failed picks were influenced by McDermott. I'm 100% convinced we'll never sniff a SB with him at the helm. He's as close to being Marty Schottenheimer as a person can be. I'd give Josh over to Sean Payton who would bring offensive stability. Let Payton hand pick his OC. Would've loved Jim Schwartz but too late on that. Brian Flores would bring an aggressive edge (more press) to our defense. Nothing against McD's amazing character based culture but his game strategy, time management and personnel errors can no longer be ignored.

This is 100% true. One of the great advantages of having an offensive HC is you don't have to worry about changing systems.

I think it's realistic we get 3 very good seasons with Tre. It's completely expected for an athlete being somewhat tentative returning from an ACL. Tre at 95% is substantially better than anything you're going to get from Dane or Cam. And maybe Elam blows up and can take over that CB1 slot.

It's not so much an aversion for OL. It's McDermott's need for constant defensive affirmation. A defensive HC will always put defense ahead of anything else. If Sean doesn't pull his head out of his ass and tell Beane to go hard OL/WR this offseason then they'll lose the locker room. Josh and Diggs have every right to be pissed.

Yes it was an unbelievably brutal year. You forgot our coaches still suck. There that should complete the list.

I agree. Damar was a nice short-term replacement for Micah but he's not a starter. I think Benford would make a great strong safety. Wasn't thrilled with the idea of Tre transitioning to S. Micah will be ready to go by September.

Allen, Rodgers & Brady in the same division. Insane

Rice will be gone by pick 35.

Isn't the whole idea of rotating so many DL players so that you can minimize injuries. Well I guess that doesn't work either.

The_Dude was classic. Some very good posters have disappeared. What happened to Hapless?
