Give me Ben Johnson and his creativeness and aggression as a new direction. if we are sticking with AR, which in my plan we do for one more year of prove it, I want the most creative mind I can find to let him just go for it!

Al Golden- rumor is he wants one shot at the NFL before he hangs them up. The ND defense has been dynamic. He doesn't back down and he has been able to get incredible results despite incredible levels of injury. The scheme is 100% gas- they get after the QB and they assault the ball- everything is forward vs backward. To me a total revseral from dumb fuck Bradley's approach.

AR- I am not ready to throw him away just yet. Close, but not quite there. I have seen parts of the game where it looks like he could become a very serious QB. He needs a plan that allows him to succeed, and I don't think Steichen is capable of that sadly.

Harris over JT- I am tired of JT. Has so many moments of greatness, but you can't dispute the fact he is incomplete and repeatedly comes up small in big moments. Someone will probably be willing to give up a couple decent pics for him, so I do it because we need to stockpile young talent. We need solid football players from teams that have a history of being tough. Harris isn't gonna take it to the crib from 60+ 5 times a game, but he is going to stand in the pocket and allow his QB to get off a deep bomb, he's going to battle for 3 on 3rd and 2, he'll catch the 5 yarders in the middle and take the hit, and he is not going to drop the ball at the .5 yard line. To me he is the type of veteran bridge you want as you look to sign the back of the future.
I can't disagree w/ really any of this. Although JT would be a ~$12M cap hit in '25 if we release or trade him, so the likelihood that we move on from him this offseason is very unlikely.

So, you want to get rid of JT, but keep Franklin and Speed, aka the podcast clowns?

This speaks volumes about your mindset.

When I hear Mike Chappell say he thinks Ballard will be back that tells me we are stuck with that clown. Chappy is seldom wrong about things of this nature

Watching videos on the subject make me think Chappy is correct. Irsay isn't going to pay another fired high profile guy and eat that contract if he is not willing to spend for free agents.

On a side note, a lot of people point to turnarounds by other teams, but every one of those mentioned have made a home run pick at QB, which it seems we did not do. If Irsay runs it back, we better all hope AR has the work ethic and health this offseason to transform himself into what we all hoped he would have already become.

No, I put up my thoughts on what are contentious / "important" personnel decisions. I don't view either of those guys to fit that mold and have said several times- ditch all the WE>ME guys, which they would seem to reside in the penthouse of that shithouse!

Fair enough. I just read it as you thought JT was the only player you wanted to see replaced, whereas I want the Podcast Clowns gone. They seem to be the bigger cancers.

JT would be the 1st to go.

Do people realize that made 4 embarrassing mistakes in last weeks game alone?

1. Forgot the play and forgot the ball when Flacco tried to hand off.
2. Forgot to turn around for the ball and the pass hits him in the helmet.
3. Ran out of bounds (untouched) 1 yd short of the first down on 3rd down.
4. dropped a simple lateral from 2 yds. away on the 2-point conversion.

I just can't stand that dude! He talks a good game, but is as phony as fuck.

Yeah, after hearing that I figure we're definitely keeping everyone but Bradley. I wonder what the fan reaction will be. People seem to be angrier than I can remember in years.

I don't hate Taylor, I just don't like him much at all. He seems, to me anyway, like a GIANT douchebag personality and that was made 10X worse and more obvious during his holdout temper tantrum. And in his interview after dropping the TD in Denver he said something like "we would have had six more points". Just a dickhead in general. There have been other things. He has talent and elite speed and will score TDs, but I'm not a fan.

I’ve loved his game since he was at Wisconsin. I wish he was a capable of more and I hate the contract but I appreciate his skill set for what it is.

I just don’t ever want to hear that guy talk again. He sounds annoying, he is annoying, and this act he’s putting up like he’s a high character guy got fucked 2 years ago. Now he just comes off disingenuously.

We all know who you are, Jonathan. Fucking own it. Stfu and be the same prick you were two years ago, we’ll respect you more.
