Re: Happy New Year - Ring in the year with a wish and a warning
In 1-week's time, Rivera will no longer be the GM or HC. 2024 is going to be the year of the Redwolf(ves).

Re: Happy New Year - Ring in the year with a wish and a warning
Yeah, changing the name will not happen anytime soon. But at least, we will clean out the house this year.
Happy new year! |

Re: Happy New Year - Ring in the year with a wish and a warning
Wish: Harris operates with a go-forward vision informed by his experiences with the Sixers and Devils and enables his new GM to execute freely.
Warning: while the fan base may carry the scars of 25 years of Snyder ownership and most recently 4 years of poor roster-building decisions by Rivera, operate with a short memory. The sins of your predecessors have nothing to do with you and your vision. If you want to trade up for a star QB or take a DE over another QB, don’t avoid doing so because of how similar moves worked out in this town previously. If your analytics-focused vision supports it, do it. Some fans are going to bitch no matter what you do. Ignore it, we’re not rational after all these years and we desperately need someone who is.

Re: Happy New Year - Ring in the year with a wish and a warning
Hear hear!
Wish: That we hit the mark with the 2nd pick, whoever we take and start the new regime off with a true talent leading the team. Preferably Harrison or Maye for me, though I'd be happy with trading back a little to get a good haul. Perfect scenario, Pats trade up a spot for Williams, if Chicago stay put and draft Harrison, and we then nab Maye plus extra picks. Warning: Division is initial priority. Build a team to aim for a 6-0 division result and the rest will follow. |

Re: Happy New Year - Ring in the year with a wish and a warning
Wish: Hope the new ownership hires some good talent evaluators and GM/coach and stay out of their way.
Warning: If we don't learn from our past mistakes, we'll be fucked for decades to come.

Re: Happy New Year - Ring in the year with a wish and a warning
My wish is complete cohesion between President/GM/Coach with a franchise building strategy
My warning…don’t fuck up the first high round pick which could be QB. If there is any doubt, you pass. Cohesion with a plan.

Re: Happy New Year - Ring in the year with a wish and a warning
SF blew it on Trey Lance, and they have still been able to field a high quality team. They got lucky with Purdy, and have competent individuals making personnel decisions though. That makes a difference.
That is also a perfect example though, of the "experts" not having it right. Trey Lance was highly touted, while Brock Purdy was an afterthought. |

I'd go so far to argue if you fuck up the GM/coach it doesn't matter who you pick at qb. Purdy succeeded because Kyle S. knows how to develop players.
