I like Dave, I'm lukewarm on Gus, but I think we need more established offensive and defensive coordinators.


The special teams coach IMO is as good as gone, someone has to be held accountable for the horrific special teams play.

Babich is the only one I question.

 

When your boss has to come in and take over a significant part of your responsibilities, that just doesn't seem to bode well for your future.

 

I think there is a compatibility issue between Babich and the defense Gus wants to implement.

How can one chose corn or blank #2 too many choices..

Approve ALL!

so.....many....polls

I think Caldwell is doing a good job considering the task he was given.

 

I like Bradley but can't say for sure if he is going to be here for the long haul. Too many games in which the team looked unprepared and just got completely outplayed. I know there are alot of young players but they can't get some of the basic right.

 

Fisch is in a nearly impossible situation. He's had three QB's since he has been here. One was a monumental bust, one is a medicore veteran and the other is a rookie. All along the offensive side of the ball, he has had has-been's, never-were's and a ton of rookies. I think he should get one more year.

 

I do think a change is needed on the defensive side of the ball. Bradley needs to give his buddy Babich the axe. Bring in someone to run the defense. The defense has veterans and is getting embarrassed on an almost weekly basis.

 

Special teams is almost a no brainer that he will be fired. This year's performance on that side of the ball is inexcusable. About as bad of a special teams performance by an NFL team as I have ever seen. Pitiful.

Corn, of course.

Definitely Corn.

One of these years.............

Happy with Caldwell. Early picks have been hit or miss but he's found several good players in the later rounds and free agency has been pretty good considering he's been sticking to cheaper C/D level free agents. 

 

Gus is clearly a good defensive guy considering he's got some good performances out of a defense that hasn't had much invested into it. If they add some nice FAs and early picks I feel like it could easily be a top 10 unit. He might be one of those guys who can run a defense but handicap the offense too much, we'll see next year. 


I could take or leave Fisch. He does a lot of things I don't like and can be way too conservative in the first half. 

 

idc about Babich, his role here is to execute Bradley's scheme and he's done an ok job of it.

How has the defense not been invested into? They drafted a whole secondary and got a whole d line from free agency which happens to be the best part of the defense. This team has been overhauled more than people want to admit. A lot of folks are still on that this team is talent deficient crap because of a poor record.

I wouldn't call Evans and McCray "investments."  They are sixth and seventh rounders.  

 

I agree though - that they have invested in the defense.  It's just not quite there yet.  They still need OTTO, MLB and FS.  With updgrades at those three positions - I expect a top 15 defense. Maybe top ten.

Sure about Caldwell and 'pretty sure' about Bradly... not so sure yet about the other coaches. It's still pretty early in the process to be handing out blanket approvals or otherwise. My general impression for now is that, understanding the 'black hole' this team was put in by the previous regime, Dave is trying to move things in the right direction. I can't get too hard on Gus (or any of the other coaches for that matter...) given that they have been tasked with putting a team together with such a high percentage of rookies. For now, it is what it is....

Colvin in the 4th would be considered an investment.

 

There are still a few holes to fill, but the defense by far has been the most heavily invested side of the ball right down into it's depth.

True. He hasn't seen the field yet, and the original context was about what "Bradley has gotten out of the talent provided him."  So Colvin didn't play into the point of my post.  

 

The 4th round is a little nebulous in terms of how much of an investment it is and Colvin was taken in the middle of it (Monroe trade compensation) - but it's fair to call him an investment. A little borderline, but yeah I agree.

Some people just don't understand that an investment by definition isn't expected to have an immediate return.

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

so many choices, so little time

Um, I don't think that's what happened. In fact, I believe that statement involves a lot of revisionist history. And if that really is 'the plan' than its a horrible one. Football is not basketball, one player doesn't = championship no matter how good they are (even Brady or Montana).

 

You think Caldwell and Bradley honestly thought they were gonna win more than 4 games with the worst roster in the league last year, then an offense starting practically 6 rookies this year? Youre kidding yourself. They arent stupid, they knew exactly what they were getting into. And the tanking isnt only about the draft picks, its giving experience and opportunities to many young players in hope it will make you better in year 3.

That's what corn is for.

Boy I miss the good ol' days with Jack Del Rio. We had players getting arrested, doing drugs, but yet still kicking other team's [BLEEP]. Other team's newspapers would say the Jags are the most physical and dominate defense coming in. At least we were interesting.


Now we have "high character" losers who are boring and can't buy a win. A coach who doesn't have a damn clue and is making us one of the jokes of the league. Boy has times changed. Some got what they asked for though. Fake improvement and competition.
