We don't need to trade draft picks for either. We have a former NFL QB as Head Coach now, a guy who is similar to Andy Reid in what he can when given the chance to develop someone with a skillset. Someone like Matt Corral, Sam Darnold, or Anthony Richardson. So I'll sell you both of these dudes for a penny if it means taking out a 2nd mortgage at today's ridiculous interest rates on the future to get them.

What did Josh Allen run at Wyoming? Patrick Mahomes ran the most basic offense you could possibly run in college and look at him. If you wanted a coach who could make a guy like Corral a super star, you got him. That said, I'm in favor of drafting Richardson. Dude is Josh Allen v 2.0.

Man, I wanted to see him in Vegas with McDaniels once more. Maybe knock the Chiefs down a peg for at least one season.

Not if the contract says you forego your right to that cash in the event you get another paying job in x amount of time.

Wilks lawsuit won't go anywhere if it's based on race, as much as I wanted him to be Head Coach. There is a plausible dichotomy between offense and defense and that's what Tepper wanted to make a decision on. Rhule on the other hand, I'm sure the Panthers have not paid him, being fully aware they may be sued. They likely interpret this cash as non-payable as Rhule got another job.

Do you want Mahomes who may be able to play 20 years or Jalen Hurts who may be able to play 8 or 9 at a high level? The running quarterback is great and all, but one pop to that shoulder and it's all over.

Irsay has hired Minority Candidates in the past so I doubt they would be able to prove he broke some sort of RHULE here. You like who you like and he likes Saturday.

You really think Vic Fangio was the difference for this team?

Joe Brady is available. Honestly, I wouldn't be opposed to Brady without Rhule. I think Rhule was the root of all of the problems here considering how Wilks did with a very large interim staff and three different QB's.

Yeah, and they are going to request a first round pick. So not only do they get Bryce Young, they get a Top 10 pick, if we trade. Yet we get a QB and we need more than just a QB to compete. Then, if Fields doesn't figure his poo out, we are stuck with a running QB who can't read defenses and will be in the same boat two years from now. Draft Anthony Richardson, develop him into the next Josh Allen, keep your picks, and don't help a Divisional Opponent pile in draft picks to eventually surpass you because, not only do they have a QB, they have the other players that they need.

I'd rather take Anthony Richardson and not mortgage our future on an Ohio State QB. How many more draft picks do we have to give up? Richardson may take time to develop but his stats are nearly identical to Josh Allen's at Wyoming, he makes the same mind blowing throws, he has speed, size, etc. You could probably run a traditional offense with him as well as some of what the Ravens and Bills run. Give me Richardson over Stroud along with the rest of our draft picks.

Could've had him as an OC...not sure why we had to make him the Head Coach after what a GREAT JOB he did destroying a perfectly good Colts team with a potential Hall of Fame QB's, or two actually, in Rivers and Ryan. I won't be surprised if he is mildly successful here for one or two seasons but considering the drama of Indianapolis, a place set-up to win, I'm not holding my breath. Wilks deserved a real shot st the job with his guys and his system in place. Three of the four Championshio Game coaches are really transcendent or have transcendent QB's. We will have none of that and Anthony Richardson might take three years to get there, if he could at all. And Reich is good, by certainly not transcendent. Give me Siriani, give me Doug Pederson, don't care for a coach who failed with that roster in Indianapolis.

You're saying that because people saw Wilks go 6-6, we are happy with mediocrity? What we are saying is that WILKS went 6-6 with: 1. Three different QB's 2. Seven staff fired in season 3. As an interim QB 4. With PJ Walker playing at QB 5. Without your best secondary players 6. With a Rookie Left Tackle 7. While dealing away your diva 2nd team receiver who Rhule clung to for dear life That begs the question of WHAT COULD WILKS DO WITH A QB, HIS STAFF, and time to build out his roster? Furthermore, the brand of offense we ran wins games, hard. Look at the Bengal's, if they couldn't have run the ball in Buffalo that game is much, much closer. Look at Buffalo, they couldn't run the ball and they lost. Look at the 49er's, they run all over the place and win, Cowboys couldn't run. To win Championships, you have to be able to run to the ball. I know that's unattractive for people who'd rather be like the Bills during the regular season and just throw it all over the field then collapse in the post season because you can't run a traditional run game. Or maybe the Ravens? Hell, Philadelphia is who they are, why? They run the ball efficiently.

I'm sure that's how the situation would go. Why you're so adamant about fighting a 45 year old NFL quarterback with more money than god is beyond me. At some point, you want people to stop asking the same question.

Sexy day 3 may be Cam Peoples, out of App State, if he can stay healthy. 6'2 225 lbs and ran all over every P5 opponent that App played, including Texas A&M. Had 95 yards against Miami in 2021 when he went out midway through the 3rd quarter. Ran for over 100 against UNC. Big guy who literally runs through, over, and around people. If Achane is a Day 2 pick then I am a monkey's uncle.

He has AJ Brown and Devonta Smith, along with Miles Sanders and a good coaching staff. They also have one of the NFL's best defenses which gets them additional opportunities on offense. While Hurts is good, I don't think he's everything people make him out to be.

You get $70 million while mortgaging your future against Payton with the Saints as your bank. Surely Tepper isn't that stupid.

Jalyn Hyatt of Tennessee or an elite tight end. We need to get a true third receiver who can break the top off of a defense and/or a tight end who can command attention of safeties.

Is this satire? She didn't complete the CRT course?

Umm...his year here as DC saw us as a top defense in the league, no? Top 5? The only eeason we were decent past 2015 was because of our defense. The offense absolutely fell apart when Cams Shoulder went missing.

So I suppose it's a coincidence that two guys with the exact same skill set end up as MVP candidates with Dorsey as their QB coach. Anyone ever think that Cam had just hit his ceiling in 2015, then was hurt in 2016 and never recovered? That isn't Dorsey's fault. I'd also be willing to be proved wrong by trying to give him a shot with Richardson. That or Kellen Moore with Richardson.

I've seen a lot of bad ideas so I thought I'd throw mine out there. If the coach isn't to be Steve Wilks, we should take Ken Dorsey should he want the job. Dorsey would also likely keep Wilks on as DC which would be an instant upgrade over the Rhule staff. Dorsey has now coached two guys like Anthony Richardson in Cam Newton and Josh Allen. Josh Allen's college stats are eerily similar to Anthony Richardson and both have the same athletic profile along with some similar intangibles. If you believe Gator fans and other's who follow Florida football, Richardson is humble, hungry, coachable, and very willing to learn. Dorsey led Cam Newton to an MVP season with an unorthodox skillset and has now led Allen to what will undoubtedly be an MVP Finalist type year for multiple years running. The ability to develop two unicorn type QB's, while one is available in this draft, cannot be ignored. He's also been apart of two programs that have ties to the Panthers and have resulted in the ability to, or reaching, the Super Bowl. Lastly, we would be able to trade down and still nab Richardson. We should be able to trade down and get another 1st and 2nd round pick, or a 1st and a late 1st, while still getting the QB we want. The benefit of this cannot be overstated as we already have two second round picks. We would be able to nab Richardson, nab a 3rd receiver, and a quality tight end while gaining a coach who have proven he can develop raw, hyper athletic QB's. There is no other coach available with the resume of Dorsey when it comes to quarterback development with guys with the skillset of Richardson, Allen, and Newton. Now flame away.

Maybe Tepper should keep his ass away from hiring until the paperwork needs to be signed. He's not a football player, college football player, nor coach. He's as qualified as I am if not less considering the amount of time I sit around watching, talking and otherwise consuming football information. Give the job to Fitterer, you advise and consent and stay the fug away. You were "enamored" by Rhule as well and look where that got us. You've been so in love with the idea of getting an elite QB you've sacrificed 9 or 10 picks to try on guys who were known commodities. Build the core of your team. There is no Justin Herbert, Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, etc. in this draft worthy of trading even more picks away to get. BUT...there may be a Brock Purdy. An experienced rookie with 3 to 4, or even 5 years, of playing time in college with the moxie, poise, and physical ability to take a strong core to the CHIP. Look at Brady. He started his career much like Purdy is looking now. Great core, average QB athletically and someone no one knew. If you can't get an elite QB, history shows that you should get a good QB to go along with a great core. Don't sacrifice a great core for an average qb or you'll stay below average until you hit on a QB, at which point you can't build a core.

Before yall say "that's why quarterbacks matter". The Chargers have Justin Herbert...and still lost. The refs were the worst I've seen in a long time this weekend as well.

Is it? Why is it the right approach? What offensive minded head coach that didn't allocate more resources to defense has won championships lately? Bill Bellichek won SEVEN as a former DC. McDermott has the Bills on the cusp with mostly former Panthers guys and a Panthers Front Office guy. Andy Reid is the regular season king who falters every post-season. McDaniel in Miami fell apart. Josh McDaniel couldn't win with DeVante Adams and Derek Carr (who played really well for Gruden). Hackett couldn't hack it with a future Hall of Famer at QB and quite the cast at receiver and running back. The only way I'd want someone over Wilks is if it's Jim Harbaugh. Give me Jim and I'll be happy. All he has done in coaching is win. He won with Colin Kaepernick for crying out loud. He won at Stanford. He gave Michigan two undefeated regular seasons in a row. Back up the Brinks truck for Harbaugh. Whatever he wants, give it to him.
