Anthony Weaver better have the answers this Sunday or his job is in jeopardy. Do you agree?

I don't think so.......you have to give a coach time to build his philosophy into the team, as well as having the skill players to make it work

At times they have looked good and other times they looked terrible. You can argue that our lack of pass rush has also made our secondary look worse than it actually is

I think he gets more time

I would agree that he gets more time, assuming the likelihood that no "house cleaning" is in the immediate future.

Changing DCs, and therefore scheme/philosophy, every year doesn't allow any year over year growth and progress.

That being said, Weaver has not impressed in terms of game planning, nor in teaching/demanding fundamentals like tackling and passing off assignments in zone coverage.

I really didn't see him as exceptionally qualified as far as his defensive coaching resume when he was hired. We can only hope he is a quick learner.

I get where you are coming from......but see it a bit different

I think Weaver is struggling with the talent we have. Very little pass rush, which exposes the secondary which is extremely weak outside of Ramsey. Safety play is sketchy at best (Poyer and Holland) and our LB's....well.....we have seen some flashes and Brooks seems to be playing well.....but we need some more help

This is why I think he needs more time. We need a talent infusion on the defensive side of the ball in my opinion to evaluate Weaver's abilities. It appears to me currently, he is trying to compensate and cover for the weak spots in our defense.

Agree. He has Mcd's flaw. 13 games in and still making Football 101 mistakes. But, I'll agree with bob512 - lack of pass rush hurts the D. He gets more time

You make some good points, but I see it a little differently. everyone in FH knows not to let the opponent's most productive receiver run wild for 4 quarters. everyone knows if the opponent is running around the left edge consistently the 1st 2 drives, DON'T wait til halftime to make an adjustment. 3rd and 4, don't have DBs 10yds off. Agree, he has lost talent and has surprisingly disappointing talent at some positions. That likely gets him a pass. But he doesn't seem to be growing in his job.

 

[MrChadRico]

Yes.

Just like any other position, if we can get someone better, fine.
In order to replace our current GM, there are questions and steps that need to be answered:

1) Is there a quantifiably better GM available?
2) Who is he/she?
3) Is he/she available?
4) How much more will he/she cost?

5) How do you weigh the differences between our current GM and the potential new GM in any meaningful way?
6) How much better, quantitatively, are they than our current GM?

7) List the specific of improvements our new GM will be required to make to the team!
8) Does his/her history indicate he/she will make those specific improvements?
9) How long will it take him/her to make those improvements?
10) How much time will we allow him/her to make those improvements in?

11) Here is the big one - Is the risk worth the reward?

This last question can only be answered by Mr. Ross. How do you think he will determine the answer to the "risk vs. reward" question?

Suddenly replacing our GM in order to improve this team does not look so "cut and dried" and easy to do as many here seem to believe!

Agreed, hate turnover after one year, but he’s a coach who ignores fundamentals and it clearly shows. Major flaw. Especially in that we was an assistant with the Ravens, you would have thought that fundamental teachings would be something he’d be responsible there. I’m ok moving on if there is a real major upgrade available

I'm doubling down.. phins with the upset win vs a "superior" team.

National media and our own fans think Houston is a good team. But we will see about that. If they are I haven't seen it yet. Maybe they have been saving themselves for us ? Highly unlikely.

Miami 27 Houston 20

Fins can actually win this game as I do not think Houston is all that good. Not that Fins are good either, but Houston is more bark than bite. Maybe I'm delusional, but I could see an upset here.

It’s a perfectly reasonable opinion and he’s taken the time to justify it.

You’ve posted a facile reaction gif

Is this the “war” you feel you’re being subjected to?

Because it looks like less of a war and more you throwing a temper tantrum when anyone dares to have a different opinion

I just said wow

Who has an agenda right now?

I know better than to argue with Ray, it doesn't do anything. He's gonna support whatever the team does regardless. It's a pointless discussion.

If Grier got fired, he would support the next GM just as blindly as he supports everything.

While not what I would consider an unreasonable position, it isn't really in terms of the mechanics either.

First, I question the premise that there is a truly "quantifiable", objective way to measure "better". Sure, if the perspective candidate actually has a historical record of being a GM it would carry a lot of weight. Realistically, though, how many ppl fitting that description and aren't already either retired or on the backside of their careers actually exist that aren't already employed?

That aside, keeping someone who is not performing up to expectations simply because it isn't easy to do otherwise makes no sense unless one has a realistic expectation that things will change for the better. Not specifically about Grier but in general, if someone is unhappy with the status quo, what sense does it make to perpetuate that status quo?

Another point I would make is that beginning an in earnest search for a replacement while the current GM is still in place is not viable. Word would inevitably get out creating a lame duck situation. What possible good could come from that? What if you end up with an empty net and have to leave Grier in place?

Weaver doesn’t have the horses on defense. He has very little to work with, why everyone think he should turn piss into wine?

If we keep McDaniel and Grier, we can't fire Weaver. McDaniel has had a new DC every year he's been head coach, correct?

Not that i really care, bc if Greir stays, I'm out, but just in general, how does a team expect to ever build a solid defense when the scheme changes on an annual basis and like you said, we simply don't have enough talent on that side of the ball to expect much more than what we've gotten so far this season.

Who knows maybe Ross will use another DC as the scape goat. It's in line with how he's run this organization, but it would be up there on the list of dumbest **** he's ever done.
