OT: 2024 Washington Commanders thread: change we can believe in!

[CapitalsCupReality]

Someone like Belichick makes more sense for Dallas than Kliff would. Just IMO.

A defensive minded guy who will instill the discipline that teams needs. It would be a “win now” move.

Kliff makes the most sense in Chicago, from where I sit. He knows Caleb, is seemingly a “young QB whisperer”, and they have some good players.

Jacksonville or New Orleans could also make sense for Kliff.

All the other “openings” (say Jets, Giants, Browns, Panthers, Cowboys) have some tough owners to deal with, or are gong shows.

Anyway, my 2 cents

No way….Kliff should stay the F away from that trash heap in Chicago and another undeveloped QB. Kliff might make sense for Chicago, but Chicago doesn’t make the most sense for Kliff.

Going to an established team/roster is the safer move IMO. Dallas can retool that D in the offseason if Jones hasn’t totally lost it…

Of all those listed, Dallas is the only one I’d seriously consider leaving the JD5 project for. Jax maybe, NO is in cap hell….easy pass.

I hope to hell you're right and BB goes to Dallas and Jerry doesn’t back up the Brinks truck for Kliff. If the Cowboys are off the table, I think he stays here….

Chicago has decent ownership. Their GM has done a decent job too. Their coach isn’t any good. Eberflus. But they’ve shown him loyalty.

Why exactly are the Bears a trash heap? Just bc you don’t like CW17? Kliff knows him well enough, so I’m pretty sure 1yr of semi floundering isn’t going to change his opinion on Caleb. He either believes in him, or he doesn’t. If he does? Chicago is a great fit.

Of course if he doesn’t, then it wouldn’t happen regardless of everything else.

I’d bet he believes in Caleb. So I see the match.

But that’s just me

Have you followed the Bears the last 10 (to 30) years lol?

They completely blew it by keeping a guy who was already seen as having his head on the block BEFORE the season…..now they’re probably going to make CW’s development a lot more challenging if not damaged it, after cleaning house and bringing in a new staff, new offense, etc this coming offseason…

They are a mess.

Meh. No more a mess than Dallas. Anyone firing their coach is going to have warts. Some serious warts.

Anyway, it would make a lot of sense and I would bet it might happen. Again, assuming Kliff wants to work w Caleb. If he doesn’t, then obv he won’t take that job.

 

[kicksavedave]

I think that’s a tough job to turn down….

If only he knows someone who could advise him on what it's like working for Jerry Jones?

Yep…DQ accepted a job from Jerry, you’re right….scary. Hadn’t thought of that.

And this is the THIRD time, in succession, they’ve paired a 1st round QB with a lame duck coach. Everyone who knows the team saw this coming, and said it was idiotic. A coach desperately trying to save his job, is working at cross purposes with long term development of a franchise QB (who shouldn’t fear mistakes and losses - just learn from them).

Ownership is apparently very cheap about firing coaches. Bears fans have every right to be frustrated.

Now Caleb will have to start all over with another OC in his 2nd year. Just like Fields, and Trubisky before him.
