If we win...we still have a shot...Seattle prob will lose and so will St.L....Bit if we lose this week...then the board might even get slower(already has) But then we might as well lose every game and draft a QB..unless we know for sure we can get Kolb or VIck....
The chances of us getting Vick are zero. The chances that the Bidwills would even want Vick are zero. Bidwill senior would never never allow the team to even consider Vick. Kolb is not a playoff type QB IMHO. If we by some strange reason do not draft a QB then we will need to sign two QBs in FA or use Anderson as the backup.
Kansas City has a lot riding on this game and they will be playing hard. Their stadium and crowd will also present problems for us. I see very little chance for us to win this game. The last time I looked we were a 9 point underdog. In any event, this team has next to a zero chance of making the playoffs. Look out for the Rams. They seem to be putting it together. There #1 pick QB Bradford is the real deal and he is only getting better each week. I do not think the Seahawks will win the division.
We are officially LAST in the NFL in defense. Is that reason enough to fire the defensive coordinator come the end of the season? If Whiz does not do it then Graves should. Most any company would fire a man who is responsible for some important job and who finishes LAST. If for no other reason but to send a message to the fans and players. Things to do at seasons end:
1. Draft the best QB you can.
2. Fire the DC.
3. Hire an OC. If Whiz balks then "perhaps" give him a choice of leaving or hiring.
4. Obtain the best NFL experienced QB available either through FA or trade. If you do not draft a QB then we need to add two QBs to our team.
5. Either extend Fitz or trade him as if you let him enter FA he is gone and we get nothing.
6. Any of our core of good players (whoever they are) should be extended if they are within one year of FA. Do not wait until the last moment.
7. It is sad to say but I think our free safety is no longer the player he once was. It is time to sign one or draft one. This is still a business and all about winning.
8. The Bidwills should step up and use most if not all of the money the team is alloted for payroll. We have a lot of needs and it is going to take some money.
9. I know it will never happen but I have longed for a real GM for many years. Graves has become a fixture and almost a member of the family. My guess he is here for as long as he wants the job and regadrless of the teams performance. Maybe they could promote him to some other job and hire a real GM.
Numbers wise we are near the bottom in nearly every category in the NFL. It is going to take more than a bandaid to make our team whole and competitive. We do not want to go back to where we came from. The writers are already making us a laughing stock.
