The term continuity makes people feel comfortable but when your Head Coach that schemed and ran your offense along with the quarterback the offense was crafted for are gone, and your defensive coordinator is moved to a different position.. Precisely how much continuity is left?

Is a Ferrari still a Ferrari with a Ford engine and transmission?

What a great analogy! We don't have the power under the hood anymore with Dennis Allen as our new Ford motor.

Actually, now that l think about it, Dennis Allen is not a new Ford motor he is a used motor that doesn't work very well and is missing on some cylinders.

I don't know. I think the QB would be the engine. We would have easily made the playoffs with a legitimate QB under the hood and nobody (except for the usual haters) would be complaining about Allen.

Oh, and that Cobra Jet was a pretty decent engine in the Mustang back in the late '60's.

Newsflash: It's 2023 and we're rolling with a Pinto.

Probably why contract details are still top secret ?

Now that we have a first-round draft pick again, maybe we will be able to field a good team with our draft picks. Then we can put them on the field and watch them grow. Oh wait, don't we need coaches who aren't afraid to take a Gamble in big moments? We have tried to be safe and a seven- nine season is what it got us.

I'd like to think that much of the conservative playcalling was because of a lack of confidence in the QB and the battered offensive line. It was so out of character for Carmichael. When he called plays in the past he was almost reckless at times with the aggressiveness.
