Luck plus Chuck (y)...

by onthereg on Sep 19, 2011 9:52 AM CDT

So I am still supportive of Pioli (although its hard to know if it is his fault for not doing more or Clark's for not allowing him to do more) but I am done with Haley. His ego has cost us Gailey and Weiss and it is no wonder we are the worst offense in recent memory.

This regime is all substance and no style which was a breathe of fresh air after the Carl Era of PR move after PR move BUT in order to have no style you need to win and they have not done that. It is time to make a splash and get the best candidate available for HC and then get the best QB to come around in years.

I do not think we need to tear the team down and rebuild I actually think we have a lot of young talent (thanks Herm for leaving us some talent) but we do not have the QB and we do not have the Coach.

I think Gruden would be the best option not only because I think he has done a great job every place he has gone but he also knows how to develop a QB. We could keep MOST of the coaching staff in place (all on defense) and even Muir to run the O Line (which will make the transition much easier).

Insert Luck at QB. I do not think we will be favored again this season but if we do not end up with the first pick I would mortgage the future to trade UP and get the first pick. This is the perfect chance as the number 1 pick will not make a fraction of what they used to make and we have yet to develop our own starting qb EVER. Other than Brees all the other great teams that have success over time have drafted and developed a star qb. This is a QB league and if you watched Big Ben, Manning, or Rogers you have seen QBs with average at best lines make super bowl runs. Yes i know we need a right tackle but it can wait to round 2 or Free Agency.

You think adding Chucky and Luck would sell some tickets? You think we would then have the nucleus and stability to really become a legit Super Bowl contender? I still have faith in Clark/Pioli but it is time to either go for the best available QB and HC or watch 20,000 fans a game root on a loser.

I am not advocating pulling a Philly dream team spending spree rather keep our core intact (which Pioli has done a good job of) and add the final pieces but be very aggressive in getting Gruden and Luck and make it happen in whatever means possible!

Gruden's interesting....not the worst option

he also knows how to develop a QB

Interesting.. when he was with the Bucs I remember a lot of hate because he would always go with Vets not young QBs..

True...

But i was referring to his days before he was a head coach as well as the offense he had in place with Gannon and the raiders. Then he was smart enough to win with what they had in Tampa…although i give Dungy a lot of credit for building that team he still won the big games.

I have watched several of his QB specials on ESPN with the rookies and seems like he would be a great motivator and seems like he still has a chip on his shoulder for being fired.

Not so sure about before he was a HC but Gannon was not developed by Gruden either

Good Call

What do we have to lose?

I really thought Haley was The Man. But, talk about wheels coming off…my God!

I would be happay with 9 and 7. We're building something special here. DO NOT throw out the baby with the bathwater. Short of 5 and 11, Todd has my trust.

mortgage the future for an unknown college player? thank you, King Carl ... because selling out for a short-term fix worked so well during the Vermeil years

Insert Luck at QB. I do not think we will be favored again this season but if we do not end up with the first pick I would mortgage the future to trade UP and get the first pick

marty schottenheimer

anyone know the scoup on him? would he ever considering coming back to coach? Marty and Romeo heading up the Chiefs and this young talent would be a nice vision.
