If our last 2 options are Anthony Weaver and David Shaw for H.C, which of these HC/OC combos could you find most tolerable.

a)Weaver/Eric Studesville(MIA ASST.HC/RB COACH)
b)Shaw/Pete Carmichael Jr.(Den. Sr. Offensive Asst.)
c)Shaw/ Pep Hamilton(OC at Stanford under Shaw)
d)Weaver/Anthony Lynn( WASH- Asst. HC-run game coordinator. Was with Weaver on 2012 Jets staff)
e)Weaver/Darrell Bevell(current MIA OC)

If I had to choose I would take (b) or (e).

Here's the issue with that.

Ever since his first year with the Lions, Ben has been a hot name. Other teams have tried just throwing money at him. He stayed in Detroit.

Ben's camp has made it CLEAR he is not leaving for a money grab. It has to be the right situation. If that still holds true, and we have no reason to doubt it because Ben's turned teams down left and right the last couple off-seasons, then the Raiders are a poor fit, no matter how much they offer.
They are not a poor fit if he values having a say in who his GM is above other things.

Easily Shaw. I don’t see how these two could be the last candidates standing though. We got 20 guys on the list and only 6 openings.

Again it’s roster vs control. He has to make that choice. If he is smart he will realize if he wins he will get control (Chicago), go earn it. He will never be in control in Dallas, even if he wins 3 Super Bowls.
I agree with you on that he needs ti go out and earn the right to have any control of personnel. Also that the Jones’s will always have full control in Dallas.

Yeah, but control won’t mean much of anything in Vegas or Jacksonville with those 2 orgs being horse****. In Dallas, your team is pretty much stacked enough every year to at least compete, player management by committee or not.
Stacked enough? Cowboys team isn’t as great as you might think. They aren’t in the same league as Commanders and Eagles. That team needs a lot of work. You have to feel very comfortable with Prescott who is very overrated.

They’re going to have to open the checkbook for Darnold.

Plenty of desperate teams in the NFL. It’s not likely that Minnesota will be the highest bidder, and Darnold could see this as his actual payday opportunity.

I doubt Darnold is back with Minnesota.
They could just franchise tag him.

They could, but that would require them to use over half of their available cap space (over $38 million) when they just spent first round assets on a guy who's riding the bench for multiple years.

It would go against what I think most people would do, but who knows---You're right, they could do that.

I thought it would take at least a day before the neon news to Dallas but what a world we live in.

Would it though? Mahomes, Love, Rodgers... We've seen the sitting for a year or two to be a good thing when you have a good QB in front. With Darnold playing well, you don't have that pressure to start the kid that most bad teams have. Plus, Darnold could get injured. It's a no brainer imo.

The kind of wrinkle here is that JJ was injured, so I'm not sure how many reps he got from this past season.

He could have had Daniels or Maye last year. The right situation for him is control not roster. I think that’s logical to assume at this point. If the Bears want back in Poles needs to give roster control over, doubt he wants to do that.
Daniels and Maye were just guys that weren't Caleb Williams at this time last year and both the Commanders and Patriots were afterthoughts, bad teams that were a long way from being anything relevant.

Deion to DAL would be a train wreck of epic proportions. And I am totally here to witness all of the carnage that will ensue.

So he’s the “new” Lewis because of recent playoff record? Not his overall playoff record just the last couple years?

The Steelers roster has been bad for years. They were the worst 10 win team in history. Tomlin should be praised for getting them this far. His teams over achieve thanks to him. The GM should be felling the heat
😂
