You don’t fix this mess quickly
Totally agree. I just hope Amy was made aware that this team wasn’t a one season fix. I’m cool with letting Cally and Ran get more time at this
We’re swapping 1sts with the raiders and taking maxx crosby with it
Not so much that I trust ran at this point as much as I still have no remote clue what we have. He could be great or he could be terrible, but we’re definitely going to find out from the looks of it
Ran doesn’t get credit for Skoronski. He himself said prior to the 2023 draft that he was taking a backseat role and letting the franchise dictate the picks (as he just got here). He also doesn’t get blamed for any pick made in the 2023 draft either.
The rest he does get credit for and I think its reasonable to consider him a good GM even if the W/L’s don’t show it this year.
I at least want to see what he can do this year and see if last year was a fluke or not.
I frankly don’t understand the narrative that he’s on the hot seat. He’s done well.
Any Captain Hindsight can point to players we could have gotten as an indictment, but what GM gets everything perfect and is available to be hired?
Guy’s doing a good job, let him keep doing it. I’m dying to see what he could do if we had roster depth to just Best Player Available.
And he didn’t trade away AJ Brown.
Totally agree
I’m okay with keeping Ran, but the lack of any true effort at finding a right tackle and the Sneed fiasco is bad enough to wipe out a lot of goodwill.
Sneed was absolute trash before his injury.
Do your thing Ran!
Sweat should definitely take more carries at running back
Ran is also ***9-25 as GM*** with all these alleged successes.
He’s nothing more than a glorified scout whose claim to fame was “finding” George Kittle in a draft.
Only the shittiest franchises keep flipping their coach and GM every year or two.
I think Ran has been a mixed bag of good and bad, I don’t like Callahan, and I think firing Vrabel was absolutely moronic.
But if you are gonna hire guys to jobs they have never done before like they did with Ran and Callahan, you have to realize it’s probably going to take a couple years minimum to figure it out.
To play devils advocate
1,000 yard WR aren’t that impressive in modern nfl. Most teams have one.
1,000 yard rusher isn’t that impressive either.
3 quality OL is being generous. Most would say 3 average OL with a chance to be better
1 good CB sure I’ll give that one.
Sweat us good but he’s not a stud. He’s a solid player but he’s not a game wrecker or changer by any metric
People calling for Amy to clean house genuinely sound insane.
I don’t trust in any of them. I think Ran has done more than Callahan to stick around up to this point, to be fair. I still will not be echoing the In Ran We Trust sentiment though.
I mean, this stellar roster mustered 3 wins this year. So kill me for not being convinced
Whoa! 8 average players in just TWO seasons?? Incredible! Almost as many average players as wins! Remarkable!
The argument against him is that QB, RT, Edge and Special teams were the biggest failings on this team this year, all of which you could pretty legitimately label as almost entirely a talent issue AND issues we knew about last off-season (and kinda the season before that)
Most of the roster has turned over at this point over two years and I really don’t think that it’s gotten better. I do put some of the blame on Vrabel but It’s absolutely a shared responsibility last season, and this year is all him.
I also think it’s pretty pathetic that he was all out for the song and dance as they threw money around getting everyone’s hopes up in the off-season but absolutely disappeared once the season started. He let Callahan shoulder the weight of everything and didn’t do anything publicly to ease that burden or take the pressure off.
I don’t know what goes on in the building, so maybe it’s better than what we see. But I’d completely understand thinking the overall direction and planning of last season was impulsive and a waste of resources, and why you could still have some faith in the others but not him.
A new QB and the Titans are in the same boat as the Chargers, Broncos, and Steelers. Good enough to make the playoffs. (I’m a Steelers fan btw) watching Levis piss all over basic QB reads and throws hurt my soul.
Some of Ran’s moves have been a little perplexing from time to time, but all in all I’ve liked the signings and he’s drafted pretty well. He took a swing on a QB and it didn’t work out, but a 2nd round QB is at best a 25-35% hit rate I’d guess.
We’re still just digging out of those three straight absolute whiff drafts that J-Rob left us with. Those could not have fucked over the team more.
Sneed got cooked the entire time he was on the field..
who’s the second receiver?
The team at the end of week 18 last year was terrible and by the time the offseason was in full swing it was basically DHop, Simmons and NWI. Ran drafted and acquired in free agency well enough to create a winning team if Levis (or Rudolph frankly) was a starting-quality quarterback. They both suck, it is what it is, it was worth a try. Ran was smart to try and him and Callahan both are smart for clearly being ready to move on now. It would be foolish to bail on him now
Sneed.. lock down? I wouldn’t call 4 penalties.. and a 36.8 coverage grade a decent defender.. let alone a “lockdown”..
good that amy is pissed i guess but yeah i agree firing ran at this point would be a terrible idea.
