Growl

we really gonna let joe Brady push us into another guy who can help him audition for a job instead of a legitimate long term answer

Ideally he goes to LA for a Goff swap and we can take the Lions off the QB board

Person was on the radio talking about how much he personally likes Matt Stafford and wanted this to happen we see him drop one of these everytime the discussion starts to cool

why not just give away the pick so we don't have to deal with the pressure pf making it at all

note the careful wording "We have zero interest in trading deshaun Watson" is an appeal to Watson, not a declaration to the league, followed by some commentary on the importance of "open communication" Saying you have no interest implies you could obtain interest, if you truly had "zero interest," then your statement would be directed at the league: "we will not trade deshaun Watson" or even the tried and true "we have no plans to trade deshaun Watson" if you wanted something more in between

doesn't fit where we are at as an organization

I can't believe there are still people spelling ryan Kalils name wrong

this has got to be a parody account

there was a clear gap between Jones and Newman and then again between Newman and mond in that practice

so tom Brady was drafted in the 6th round huh

this is impressive in its own way

I think you've probably answered your own question

this is just the worst possible scenario You're giving up draft capital you could've just used to go get a franchise QB, and to make up for it, you're giving up an all pro caliber prospect in turn you're getting a window player, while sacrificing your most immediate means of reinforcing said window and worst of all, I do think it's what the team is planning

oh I get it, Newman is that guy you read about in the mock drafts

I didn't say mac Jones, I said QB #5, which is still very fluid now between him and Lance The QB orderings right now are entirely media fabrications, and a raw fcs player who played one average game this season and won't get a combine is especially vulnerable to the head coach treatment that comes when coaching staffs start to get involved in the scouting process at the end of the season There isnt a conventional range system with QBs, either a guy is a 1st round guy and you take him or he isn't, and it very much looks like 5 is the magic number

the odds that four QBs go before 8 is borderline absurd, it's the absolute nuclear scenario, and in which case I'm pretty content to take guy #5 in what is apparently an even better class than we think, or laterally just take Sewell/top pass rusher and whatever it

great point Zod, thanks for highlighting this obviously a well ran organization would see the opportunity ahead and seek to build a team that can dominate for a sustained period if you trade for a declining QB, you cap out your rebuild while spending valuable resources that could be used to improve the team for a shot a couple 10 win seasons Great point

nobody cares what you do

fascinating seeing you employ the same tactic in your argument that you're referencing in negotiations "arguably" lol

This is a textbook argument on why coaches shouldn't wield personnel control

If we used our 1st on nothing it would at least come with the assurance that the team hadnt deluded itself into a false sense of security that they had addressed the QB position

I feel like we've got to worry about both the new in house QB coach and Joe Brady who quite demonstrably views this job as nothing more than a stepping stone stint actively campaigning for a guy who yields the easiest, quickest results for them

if this happens I am going to start to suspect that this is simply a poorly ran organization the Bridgewater signing was terrible, but it was, so far, an isolated incident this would be indicative of a trend

would seriously just rather not do anything with that pick at all

either I don't understand you or you dont understand me
