Time for a new direction

Hire Mike Leach

 

I agree, getting worse from 9-7 is not good. We should improve from that mark.

 

I think that our biggest problems are OL and QB play at this point. Getting Lewan back will help, but the unfortunate reality is that MM8 is not going to be our franchise QB. I did not like it when we drafted him (actually did not like any of the QB draftees that year), but I really like his personality and community presence (from what I read anyway), so it pains me to say this.

On GM, bottom line is this IMO...we need to stick with JRob, whose next move is going to be figuring out our path to getting our Franchise QB. Based on his other picks and moves, I still trust him on this.

I also think that Vrabel is still learning his craft...none of the recent issues on clock control and challenges really surprise me. In a perfect world I would have liked for him to retain LeBeau as an assistant HC (mainly to act as a mentor), but now he is learning via hard knocks. I like his style, and would like to see us give him more time as well.

 

Vrabel is fine....Jrob hit or miss, but leagues better than Ruston Webster. Mariota is done for...Might as well just accept that, because there is absolutely no way he is getting extended after this crap show, and rightfully so.

 

I think its really important to notice that JRob had kept this awful QB at the helm for the last three years. Its really shocking, honestly. You'd figure that a guy that the fanbase calls "J God" is smart enough to realize that he doesnt have a starting caliber QB at the helm within the first or at the very least second year as a GM.

 

If some people take a step back, they'll realize the team being built up around the QB position... with or without Mariota.

Oline needs shoring up, sure... but if we do find a QB after Mariota the team will be setup.

I feel pretty good about the key pieces this team is accruing.

 

Absolutely. Zero allegiance to Mariota. Neither of them drafted him. They will want their own guy, and I’m betting that’s coming sooner than later. I will say that it’s disappointing that they are continuing to watch Mary regress and put us in bad positions, when they claim to want to “win now”. I’m not saying Tannehill is the answer, but hell, it can’t get any worse. Might as well see what we have.

 

This man has whiffed on the majority his early round picks. You really think he’s equipped to properly evaluate and draft a legit QB for this franchise?



And the one QB he did draft didn’t even make the opening week roster and is already on his 3rd or 4th team.
