I think you might be disappointed. I imagine in the order of business that might be down the road. I wouldn't be surprised if a new name gets rolled out when we move to a new venue. A complete rebrand.

I had not viewed our situation in broad enough terms (until you put it that way). We are now the unchallenged NFL definition of despair.

Oh I don't know, the Panthers could give us a run for our money. While Snyder dumped sewage on fans, Tepper only had beer to hand.

Even the Panthers had that magical 15-1 season under Ron. Best we've ever done under Snyder was 10-6. Aka barely making it to the playoffs - we had 3-4 of those years where we were mediocre and then won 4-6 in a row to make the playoffs. We've never had a consistently great season since '91.

Our last 11+ win year was '91, I didn't start watching football until 01-02. We've had 32 consecutive years of mostly mediocre football. A truly amazing run of futility (but not as bad as the Lions/Cardinals).

That 15-1 records was before Tepper bought them. They've stunk as bad, if not worse, since.

Oh for sure - but they're new school dumpster fire. We're old school dumpster fire - like the Browns/Lions/Cardinals/etc. Problem is all of those teams have escaped the fire at some point in the last 20 years.

DeMeco Ryans better get coach of the year !!!!

Re: Around the NFL - Week 18
 

Only 3 candidates I reckon, Ryans, Shanahan or Campbell. I too would go with Ryans as as the Texans only really struggled when Stroud was out and they overcame that and some other key injuries to end up where they did. And Campbell has that whole 2pt conversion schtick going on.

Following up on the trades of our starting defensive ends:

Montez Sweat is the first player in NFL history to lead 2 teams in sacks in the same year - but we got a 2nd rounder so I'd say it breaks even (if he was gonna be too expensive to resign we basically got a 2nd rounder instead of a 3rd).

Chase Young had 5 sacks in 8 games with us and 2.5 sacks with the 49ers as a reserve end in 9 games. Getting a 3rd rounder for him is great value for us. Definitely won that trade unless he blows up next year.

Re: Around the NFL - Week 18
 

It was the right thing to do - trade them.

Couldn't turn down the deal for Sweat, and Chase was good as gone anyway. At least they got pretty good value for him as well.

The Sweat deal can’t be evaluated until we use that pick.

I don't know about that. The value of the pick we got is what it is. If the actual player doesn't pan out, it was still a good deal.
