  1. I’m definitely not feeling more confident in Fields.
  2. We should add Brandon Staley to list of possible coordinators for 2024 if they make a head coaching change.
  3. If they miss the playoffs by one game and their pick is 15, that would be great. It meant this team did good. And they already have a top 2 pick
  4. The great thing about never seriously pursuing the top targets is you don’t have to put any effort into pivoting when those guys go somewhere else
  5. Has Brandon Staley been fired yet?
  6. Seiya, Dansby, Heyward, Lester
  7. It’s not stealing when the owner gives it away
  8. Thanks for rounding up
  9. I really hope this isn’t Alfaro as Jed will go
  10. Oh good, we’re back to the Mervis portion of the discussion
  11. Kyler Murray as a downside comp is laughable
  12. I’m just highly skeptical of any qb in this class being worthy of 1st pick. They all seem like guys that will be drafted first because that’s the rule, not because they cemented themselves as no doubt qb studs coming out of college. The history of 1st pick QBs taken out of obligation rather than worth is terrible. Caleb Williams came into the season as a supposedly no doubt better option than anybody from last years draft, and I didn’t see that at all in the handful of games I watched. He’s a smaller Justin Fields. I feel like the biggest benefit at this point is ending the Fields debate and restarting the QB clock. I dont see a football related benefit to the selection, at this time. I’m not locked into that thought, and maybe it changes by April. But, I see a lot of change for changes sake arguments being made and I say that as somebody who has advocated for such things in the past.
  13. Holy horsefeathers what a goal by Bedard
  14. I believe the thinking is the “best qb” may not actually be that great and the BPA truly is. And he’d be a guy that helps whatever qb you’ve got. QB first always and forever is a flawed draft theory that has blown up repeatedly.
  15. The de facto for any qb taken in draft is he starts on the bench. There should be no automatic path to starting. If fields is traded over summer, that draft pick is starting by default, unless you bring in Andy Dalton Jr. If Fields starts the season and succeeds, great. You don’t have to trade him. You can play out the season with the pick on the bench. If the rookie takes over the job, great, he should be able to eventually, but not necessarily preseason. Then you have Fields as backup in case of injury and/or trade him to a good team with a dead qb midseason. If you can get a 1st in the summer, by all means go ahead and deal Fields. But if your settling for the likely middling market for Fields, you might as well keep the insurance policy in your back pocket. there is no deadline to trade fields. You don’t have to do it. It’s not dumb at hold on to a talented qb
  16. Disagree whats your reason? There’s nothing dumb about that. There is no motivation to trade earlier than necessary.
  17. I really don’t envision a scenario where Getsy returns and Fields is gone.
  18. ****** teams keep winning games
  19. I’ve never watched the manning cast before. Is it always this bad or is Kirk Cousins just that lacking in charisma?
  20. It’s weird that people are complaining about multiple games airing simultaneously anyway, Jordan love aint it
  21. No, that’s just a truism. If he keeps up the running he’ll wear out his career early. It’s a nice weapon to bail you out, but unsustainable.
  22. No. He’s maybe playing his way to being traded for something more than a 4th rounder, and having his 5th year option picked up. But he hasn’t done anything the merit contract talks. unless he wants third tier starter money
  23. I mean come on. You can win a Super Bowl with that level of QB. It happens. You gotta keep bringing in other guys though, whether it’s 1st rounders or 2nd day guys. Not just UFAs.
  24. Midwest thin, maybe.
