I always considered that Dungy's team with Gruden at the helm.

During the pizza break on Halo night.

No noteworthy coach is coming here anyway as long as Tepper is here. It's not like DC was a hot commodity and any coach who wants to do things his way isn't going to get the job offer.

Could turn him into a scat back for our flea flicker red zone hail mary.

Don't forget the before halftime tunnel slap hands hype ritual.

But as we've seen, unless it's a Peyton Manning, there really is no sure number 1. You're better off taking your QB where you sit or trading up a spot. Moving up to 8 spots to number 1 is just too costly in terms of picks and the ability to build around that QB. This is also why you should always be trying to develop in the backup role instead of settling for a Dalton type player. There are no guarantees and the more shots you take, the more chances you have of finding your guy or a bridge guy until you find THE guy. Or, you get some dumb ass team to trade a small fortune for your number 1 overall pick and take your QB with the 1st overall that they traded to you as part of the package because they were so impatient.

I've been saying since Kalil we needed to draft our franchise center. Which means we're going to find a converted TE with 2 major leg injuries and sign him to a 3 year deal after Mayes leaves in FA and Corbett gets hurt in preseason.

Ive said this for a long time. Burns is no Micah Parsons and look at the 2 offers for each. We should have taken that Rams offer and run. And if we really believed in BY, how many 1sts and 2nds could we have gotten for that #1 overall? Not trading him was absolutely the wrong move.

Trade Dalton for CJ. Let him and Bryce battle it out in camp for starting QB spot.

Defense needs help which it has had very little of in the past 3 years. Offense has looked slow to adapt, great value generic vanilla, and downright unimpressive for about 80% of the time it was on the field.

FIFY

We can't afford to put him on IR again 2 games into the season that's for damn sure.

https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/report-giants-working-finalize-deal-050255181.html Looks like he's headed to NY. At least it's not the NFCS.

You hire a coach and give him a multi year contract, trade up to 1st overall with 4 potential QBs to chose from, it only makes logical sense that he would get to select his QB. He's going to be running the team for at least 3 years, hypothetically. Why wouldn't he get his guy? Bryce was Tepper's choice, not Frank's. You knew Frank didn't want to work for Dave after the draft. Can't work for a guy you can't trust and Dave and Scott lied to him. His face told the story then, it showed during the season, and he completely gave up when he couldn't fix Bryce over the weekend.

Yep. 2 most important positions on offense and it looks like they could potentially have gotten both in a single draft. Hard to argue with that.

Bet I know why the Saints got the #1 spot.

He also seemed much happier on the field this year than last. I think all in all, he just likes the Chargers organization and being on the west coast.

In what world does Jack Plummer get brought into training camp in back to back seasons? If he wasn't good enough once, he's not going to be good enough the second go round. There's plenty of Plummers out there. Pick one.

I never understood the whole wait until the next draft class. Always try to improve the room. If Bryce is or isn't the guy is irrelevant. Brady was Bledsoe's backup. Eventually NE traded away Bledsoe, but then drafted, developed and traded away Jimmy G and Cassell for quality picks because they were good enough to start somewhere, which is the entire point of a backup. Being able to start in case of <insert reason>. It's just part of the business in the QB room. Your job is secure until it's not.

Dalton will get another year extension so his ends right with Bryce's 5th year.

Also wasted time for Tmac and Coker both, possibly XL even though I don't hold much hope for him. If Bryce isn't willing to work on his footwork and gets a 5th year, why should XL work on catching the ball, or running routes, staying in bounds, etc.

I hope so. This 5th year option has been a head scratcher to me so at this point nothing would surprise me.

He also says he trusts Dave to make the right decision. We've seen it take weeks to recognize the simplest of things like giving the RB with the hot hand the ball. Something this big? Maybe year 5.

Pretty much the MO of most of the coaches since Tepper bought the team. Get hired, work 2 of 7, get fired, collect your check.

He's already said he doesn't see an issue with his footwork as something that needs to be addressed.
