I get the feeling ish ain't as sweet behind the scenes as we think..

The firing of Gamble seems so random.

 

[IATT]

Apparently chip favored gamble over howie.. So maybe this was a power play for howie

 

[Bruce Banner]

What's Chip beef with Howie ?

What's Chip beef with Howie ?

Obviously this is all rumors and stuff.. But supposedly chip started questioning howie and had a higher opinion of gamble

There is also speculation the draft which looks bad was all Chip and Howie fought to keep D Jax and lost

Now Lurie wants a balance of power after a failed year

Other than marcus smith having little to no impact.. The draft was really good

Matthews, huff and beau all had impact roles.. Jaylen was pretty much a redshirt, same for taylor hart.. Safety out of Stanford didn't make the team, but he was a 5th

I wouldn't say really good

1st rounder looks like a complete bust, I know some people want to wait and see but everything I hear is he can't play

they drafted him to be a DE and now they are trying to make him a LB

Huff looks like he can play, I am not sold on Watkins

I would give it a C- at best right now

 

[IATT]

I'd give it a B just for Matthews huff and beau..

And I can't give up on smith yet, dude has the athletic ability.. And we have no clue on hart and jaylen



You can't really judge a draft class until 3 years down the line, but we know we have 3 players in Matthews huff and beau

So can someone explain to me what Gamble being fired/let go means for Chip-Lurie relationship? I hope this doesn't become a Harbaugh fiasco

 

[stillin729]

this is just bad to me...

View media item 1330775

Rookies come in and play roles in this NFL, we basically got nothing from them outside J Matthews

to be honest; I really don't have a good feeling about this

but you never know what goes on behind closed doors

I'm going to be pissed if this is the beginning of the end of the Chip era. What's Luries obsession with Howie anyway?
Then again, this might be a way of Lurie finding a middle ground for both guys, Chip and Howie(Assuming Lurie is not loyal to Howie over Chip)

 

[youngbillrussel]

This is just the tip of the ice berg, Roseman is soft as charming if a comment like that would make him mad enough to fire gamble.

Gonna need a big offseason and no way chip get MM8 now.

 

[stillin729]

To be honest if Chip wants to be a tyrant then it won't work

Chip needs to lose some of that college mentality for this to work

This year showed it IMO, gotta beat good teams not just beat up on the Titans and Giants

Agreed

 

[phillyzphan]

I guess things are so bad between Chip and Howie that either Howie or his agent had informal conversations with the Jets about him becoming their GM. 

 

[herbshuttles15]

Howie is known around the league for being a hard person to get along with, Chip isn't Mr Nice guy either.

Lurie is doing what he's supposed to do and get his guys in order.

Man I just want my damn corners word to Avon

 

[mrswagtastic]

I'd take bryce petty in the 2nd or 3rd if Hundley ain't there

 

[outkast9984]

if mccoy doesnt come back we should draft gordon

 

[Bruce Banner]

Any of you guys watching this Michigan State vs Baylor game .. Trae Wayne's is getting exposed out there , he's getting burned by a freshman .

that damn Baylor game probably cost me a nice chunk of change in my bowl pool

but yeah he got burnt a few times, I wasn't as high on him as some are anyway

Marcus Peters is who I want, I don't care about the character issues he is gonna be a stud in the NFL

 

[Bruce Banner]

I really like Peters also been hearing a lot of great things but his Character is a big red flag but I doubt Chip go for a guy like that , there are speculations that Josh Gordon might get released by the Browns .. Imagine Josh And Maclin on the outside with Matthews in the slot .

 

[mrswagtastic]

Any of the 2 between Waynes, Peters, IEO would be promising.
