Foundationally speaking, this is good math and it's great for Texas hold em. You'll go deeper in tournaments, but rarely win it, due to someone giving you a bad beat on the river. That's where the difference makers come in. I believe the base is built. Time for difference makers. If Poles can hit on QB, C and G in this draft, it is on! WR and S and it's on and over!

I remember the talk on here, that most of us didn't want Jalen Carter, due to us having a young team and not wanting someone that couldn't pass a conditioning drill. All told the Talkbears consortium was Wright. My guess is, we'll figure it out before the draft and our brain trust here will lead Lord Poles to the correct decision again. The stars are aligning...

As of now, I'm hearing closer to 30m/yr

You certainly have more faith in the billionaire boys club than I do.

Chess vs checkers...? Let me add, it was the same with the stadium talk from Warren.

If course the guy will qualified but, If it's a competitive advantage, of course they will take it. Showing our diversity is also a competitive advantage, with bringing in talent. If rich men could be trusted to do the right thing, we wouldn't need have the Rooney rule or the 3rd round exec benefit.

My money is on a minority.

Agreed. For one, Justin had NO chance turning the tear down. This was the year of Justin. Plus, the OL and DL needed the attention it received. I won't complain if we go QB this year. My mind has made me trade down greedy though.

Nailed me on that one. Yep on Rivera. I must have been drinking...

I keep hearing Reich's name. Since I live in the Indy area, I'm hopefully going to bring a little perspective. Frank Reich is the salt of the earth type of human being. His players love him because he always respects, even when he's providing tough love. His tenure in Indy was rocky. Andrew Luck did him no favors. He made a huge mistake by sticking his neck out for Carson Wentz after the eagles benched him. His success in Indy wasn't what they wanted. He was then hired to usher in the number pick and was fired mid season. David Tepper is a nut, so that firing is tainted. I thought Irsay was going to fire him before he did, due to the offense being so stagnant. After all my blah blah, I simply just don't know where the stink is with him...

OC, Arthur Smith: Smith as the OC did really well in Tennessee. Beat the Ravens in the playoffs with Ryan Tannehill at QB. Atlanta never got anywhere with him, but the QB situation was dismal. DC, Ron Rivera: Rivera's last DC lead him to be HC at Carolina and Washington. Both teams had good defenses, with offenses that couldn't get them over the hump. His defense got us to our last Superbowl. I think we win that game if Tommie Harris didn't tear his hamstring off the bone. Following year, Lovie let him leave and said, "trust me" and our D was never the same. Rivera is a little more aggressive than Flus

I'm good with it. They fired a bunch of guys that didn't work out as a collective. Any new OC is going to want to bring their guys anyway. This gives the fired guys a better chance to interview. As far as who will be our new OC and also DC is concerned, I believe it will be a highly desirable landing spot, due to our upswing in wins, draft capital and cap situation. Going into the Packers game, I was looking at our 3-14 season going to a possible 8-9 season, while looking back at 3 ugly collapse losses. 11 wins was possible. Just like our three win season could have been six. 2024 will bring us another last place schedule and plus 1 on home games. Eleven to twelve wins is in the holster. People talk about Green Bay being the youngest team. You take Lewis and Whitehair off the team and we are.

He would command top dollar in the NFL and it is far less work. He's 60, so he may be weary of it. College head coaches are the GM and head coach. Plus, they go straight from the season to full time recruiting. After all that fun, they get to answer to a 100 sets of parents, athletic director, school president, boosters and the press.

After this, I had read what I wrote again. I can see how you took it wrong. The intention was to show that a fired NFL coach is not affected as deeply as a career factory worker, due to how much money they make. It's just a softer landing. And in that profession certain protocol is required, upon exit, if future employment is desired. Side note: I don't look down upon anyone that works any job to feed their family. I am a retired/disabled factory worker. Being on my feet for thirty years, on a concrete floor, landed me with 7 ruptured discs and inflammation in my blood stream. So, I get it.

If I'm a coach, I want to perform the exit interviews out of loyalty to the players and the two years of work I just put in. Firing Flus is not like firing a guy that's had factory job for twenty years. Being a highly paid professional comes with a responsibility and privilege that must can't comprehend. So, the answer to your question is hell yes. Moving on to delayed firing of coaches, the Titans just fired Vrabel after he gave his interviews. I don't want to start the Harbaugh rumors, but maybe they are waiting for him, before they decide on Flus. If Flus were a sure thing, Poles would have made that clear by now.

That's hilarious!

Hate it! ? Haha, I like it...

Well snap! That's the big one...?

Auto spell got you. When you run spell check, they are real but incorrect words.

Great letter. I have some proof reading critiques though...?

Keep scrolling. You'll like my most recent one better...

I really like this one. It's proving to be good therapy. I traded with NE for their first four picks and next year's number one. Since I like four QBs in this draft, getting my favorite at 3 is cool. Then another trade and got the best 3tech in the draft. Then another trade where I had to give up next year's 1 and 2 to get the 18 pick. Remember, we still have NE and Carolina 1 and 2 respectively. Everything else was straight down the line. The decision was difficult as I could have taken edge on the first to but I keep hearing Lance Briggs saying we need a 3tech the most. Dexter gets asked to hit the weight room and buffet line to put on weight and become a dominant 1tech. This draft was preceded by making a splash in free agency with the signing of Tee Higgins, Danielle Hunter and Connor Williams. Extensions were offered to Johnson, Jenkins and Billings.

From Poles presser, it sounds like Flus will be back, even though he didn't say. I really want Getsy gone. A new name to consider is Arthur Smith. He got a HC gig based on his work as the Titans OC. He made Ryan Tannehill and Jonnu Smith stars and led an upset of the Ravens in the playoffs. Chico for DC. That would give the bears tremendous experience on both sides of the ball.

I had that thought a few weeks ago and called in to the Carmen and Jurko show to ask their thoughts. While Jurko is not the gospel, he said it would polarize the locker room and fan base. Another thought, could we turn Justin into Taysom Hill? Would Justin accept it? Anyway, getting a second rounder for Justin sounds like the cleanest cut. Especially, if we have a new coach and OC.
