Rumor Looks Like We are Stuck with Webster

Yea I agree. Now Websters second round picks have been pretty awful, so I'm not exactly opposed to getting rid of him lol. Theres a balance between Mariota Lewan and his recent FAs vs the bad second and third round picks.

 

I think the negatives outweigh the positives.

Positives:
Mariota, Lewan, Casey, Daquan Jones, Williamson, Orakpo, Walker, Woods,

Negatives:
Locker, Sankey, Hunter, Poutasi, Zach Brown, Ayers, SLH, Levitre, Warmack, whoever the RT has been, running back, McCluster.

Look at everything we've invested in the offense; we should be humming.

 

The ridiculousness that is our offensive line is fireable, in my opinion. The #1 priority when Munchak took over in 2011 was to get the line fixed. Four years, two premium draft picks, and millions of dollars later we aren't any better now than we were before.

 

Damn, that was solid post

 

I'm not "defending" Webster.. I'm calling a spade a spade. Rightfully blast him for Hunter, Sankey, Oher, Hutchinson, Wimbley, Xaviar Gooden, Mike Martin, Blidi Wreh., not having a better plan at RT this year etc...Give him credit for DaQuan Jones, Avery Williamson, keeping Morgan, signing Orakpo, a little credit for Mariota, etc

 

Warmack is a better than average guard. Fry just hates him because he is a Bama guy. Warmack and Lewan are both good picks.

I can't blame Webster for signing Levitre he was widely considered the best free agent guard at the time. Levitre deserves most of the blame there.

The Micheal Oher signing last year can't be bashed he is the starting LT for a 12-0 team. Not sure why he didn't play better for us.

As for Mariota who would get blamed if he was a horrible bust? Then give Webster credit for him being good.

What about the TE signings? Walker is one of the best FA acquisitions we ever had. We got Fasano for little and kept Stevens when we could have been cheap and dumped him.

Keeping Morgan and getting Orakpo was very smart and we have done well with our DTs. Jones is looking good and Blackson is coming around. Woods has had some good games.

 

I agree, why fire him now when his recent picks and signings were his best? Mariota, DGB and his signing of Walker last year and Orakpo this year.

He also hired Lebeau.

Mularkey is also looking like the right decision at the time.

 

My only concern (okay not only but main) is if any potential HC candidates may not want the job because of potential stability issues. Hue Jackson for example, went 8-8 in Oakland but was fired after a new GM came in. Would he really come here and possibly face that same situation again? If we fire Webster and just commit to cleaning house, it's a fresh slate. If we keep Wester, there will be many lingering questions upstairs. It's not hard to find guys that believe in Mariota, I just want the guys that can deliver on their jobs and get this team winning again.
