  1. Guess what? Nagy fucked up showing up on Friday instead of at the beginning of the week
  2. I was speaking in the draft sense. Not sure what "big" QB FA there will even be. Even a Cousins level in FA is pretty rare. The best you'd realistically see in FA is a guy who would be coming into a QB comp that Mitch might still win. Eli? Bleh Teddy Bridgewater? Maybe, if he plays well for the next few weeks Marcus Mariota? He's probably what Mitch is 3 years from now, both value and style wise Keenum/Sieman/McCoy? These guys might provide a marginal upgrade to Daniels, but doubtful theyll actually push Mitch's job. I took your post to read that we would get a FA QB and spend the draft picks otherwise, so I definitely was confused. And no, I do not like that idea. However, if Mitch is improving or not improving and we see a QB we like in the draft, why wouldn't we take him. If Mitch is improving, i could see drafting someone in the later rounds, if he isn't then the first rd (provided the pick makes sense)
  3. It makes more sense to wait until Trubisky has played 4 years to see if he's worth the 5th year option or to start over. It makes no sense to rush it next year, if Mitch doesn't improve they won't have the necessary assets to improve enough to contend either way. Also, by then this window will have closed and will need as many resources poss. to open a new one. I don't think we have to worry about a Goff deal yet nor would I be disappointed if they don't get a top avail. QB via draft or FA. I will be disappointed they wasted a #2 overall pick on a subpar player while others selected after him were better To be fair l, I'm pretty skeptical Trubisky will be bad enough that they'll decide he's worth moving on from this offseason. It's also nearly certain they won't be in a position to be talking extensions like Goff. However if the right convergence of Mitch develop and the "right" draft prospect emerges, a big splash isn't impossible. Also a lot depends on how the rest of the season goes. If it's another winning season, but clearly lacking pieces to be a true contender a big splash for a QB leveraging future assets would be a strategy to avoid bottoming out in a couple years and keep the team at least playoff/division competitive while they retool in other ways the next several years to keep the D elite. do you mean in the Vikings/Cousins sense, where we end up with the top available FA qb who turns into a pumpkin
  4. maybe a little homeristic, but do you know who is good at running the RPO? Tanner Morgan
  5. the vikings ran the ball better then anyone this year until yestderday. Translation: Eddie Goldman.
  6. Could Keenum run this offense?
  7. love looking at the likelyhood of being 4-1
  8. I love having a competent kicker
  9. Mn getting away with personal fouls
  10. Robinson is playing like a #1
  11. https://twitter.com/MikeKlis/status/1176911770725863429?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1176911770725863429&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmockery.com%2F2019%2F09%2Fnews-from-denver-again-proves-ryan-pace-made-the-exact-right-call%2F Sometimes its easy to forget the roster Pace took over, but he's generally done a good job of keeping/and ditching the right players
  12. He had one good season and was probably the worst 'feature' running back in the league last year (maybe Carlos Hyde was worse). Glad to see he had one good game with the Eagles, though. Tough one for the Packers last night when you consider the injuries. Adams is so key for their offense. Hey he's still probably better than Mike Davis which would be about the difference of 1 or 2 rounds in the draft this year (the pick for Howard at 5 or 6 vs a comp 4 for Amos), and you'd still maybe get comp for just letting him walk in FA. I never liked losing Howard, but Monty has lessened that blow. Now if we can dump Davis, I'm not a fan
  13. neither the Eagles nor GB scares me. we shoot ourselves in the foot enough for the real concern to be us. I loved seeing gb lose last night
  14. an ankle the size of a volleyball. a black volleyball
  15. He doesn't even really touch on the fact that we've had to throw resources at fixing holes because we haven't developed any talent in several years. Oh except Bote, who they were so excited about getting an average player from their farm system that they quickly extended him through his arb years. Dodgers have won 7 straight NL West titles and the last 2 NL pennants. They also have a top 5 farm system. I expected a Theo run organization to be something like that. He touched on that a bit in the full interview in regards to plugging holes. Also Dodgers play in an easier division and up until this year the accomplishments since 2015 were pretty neck and neck, and we still have the ultimate prize. Decent offseason we are right back with them. decent playoff and they are way ahead of us TheoCo talked about the 1990's Braves, meaning needing to have multiple winning seasons and div championships. Turns out i had no idea they were talking about the Dodgers doing it, not us
