His response shows why we should at least consider a potential top 4 pick franchise QB in this draft. After the wildness of 2020, letting this kid sit a year behind Matt Ryan would be invaluable for the new QB’s development. 
 

I’d trust Matt to do everything anyone could do in his situation to get the new guy ready for the league. That being said, I wouldn’t be disappointed if the team goes in another direction and we don’t go QB at 4. 

We would get a lot more than just a 2022 1st & 2nd for them to move up that far

He has actual character and substance. Not just some rah rah coach. He is an actual coach and nose to the grindstone guy with a passion for football. 

This is the biggest difference from DQ. 

Aaron Glenn already was announced as the Lions new DC. Presumably under Dan Campbell. 

Hate the haul because the trade would put us in the perfect spot to get Harris.

Sounds like it’s more Fontenot wanting to finish the job with the Saints 

I can respect that.

My question is, what has joe brady ever done? He stunk with his time with the panthers.  Even Sark looked good in college when he is on the number one team in the nation.

Not fair to say he “stunk” with the Panthers when he had to adjust to not having his top player. Still made Teddy seem like a competent QB and had three WRs top 1,000 yards. Also he’s young and it gives us an opportunity to have continuity on offense for a long time. 

Fontenot/Brady here we come. Brady works out and he could be our coach for a long long time. Imagine a decade of offensive continuity, best case scenario. 

I’d take Brady or Hackett over Smith. But I’m just good with an offensive guy at this point. 

First domino falls. **** is about to hit the fan now. 

I was all in on Daboll but I’ve cooled off on him lately. Hackett or Brady plz

Fontenot/Brady for me. 

Just give the HC job to McDaniel if that’s the case. 

Well if we wanted Morocco Brown we can get him now after this game. 

Pat is great. I listen to his show a lot while working and it’s pretty hilarious. He has Aaron Rodgers on every Tuesday and it’s always worth a watch/listen. 

If the new HC isn’t an offensive minded guy I’m going to be so god**** disappointed. Why is McKay making any decisions for this team? Dude should’ve been canned a long time ago. 

Heart break?? Was anyone legitimately heart broken after this game? I’ve been numb to this team’s weekly results since the conclusion of 2016. 

Blank was pretty firm when he said it was up to the GM. The interviewer gave him a chance to stick up for Ryan, but Blank didn’t.

If the Bengals win this week their record becomes 4-10-1 which is better than 4-11 which would be our record should we lose. If Carolina wins they go to 5-10 and slide down behind us as well. Its that simple. SOS may end up causing us to side behind Houston should they lose out as well, I'm not sure. But #3 is in fact possible

Houston’s SOS is currently higher than ours, meaning we would most likely stay ahead of them if we both lose out. 

Tbf Takk was playing like an absolute beast in that first game. He looked unblockable. It’s a shame he’s had so many injuries and played hurt his whole career. 

Takk for a 5th to a desperate team looking for pass rush. 5th is probably even unrealistic though tbh

Just give Peyton Manning the job and call it good. 

It’s cool that Foye is being counted on as a leader already. Dude has a nose for the football and a presence about him that is like an old school LB.

No get Eric B or Greg Roman please 

No way. Those two are just like DQ. Coordinators in the shadows of a great HC and a cupboard absolutely over stocked with talent. 
 

Mike McDaniel is the offensive genius we need. Shanahan refused to let other teams interview McDaniel over the offseason. The NFL actually is implementing a new rule starting next offseason that HCs can no longer deny interviews because of this. 

Bienemy is another DQ imo. Working in the shadow of a great HC with the fully stocked cupboard that the HC built. No thanks.

But we need an offensive minded coach who can call his own plays. Because it means we’ll have continuity on offense, which we haven’t had the entirety of Ryan’s career.
