Planning ahead for your oline is never too far away. We've seen what happens when you ignore long term plans at the position. Otherwise you end up with this.

I joined also.

Im in

What really gets you is Laviska didn't have any of his catches beyond the LOS last year. I believe he was the only receiver in the NFL to achieve this.

Heard somewhere that he has no interest in playing the run, he just wants to pass rush. If true, his career options will be even more limited.

I like JM but 20 bucks for a sub is insane. Plus the one i go to is usually a 30-45 minute wait so i pass most of the time.

1994.

Now that Mr. Meatball and Co are gone, it's become painfully obvious, even moreso than it already was, how under qualified that entire staff was as a unit.

Just how I read it. Sounded like you were saying we still have a 25' first to work with because we traded away DJ.

Kind of my thought too. In 25' we may be looking for a new WR or TE, possibly even C or T depending on what happens. Defense is great, but the NFL is highly focused on bigger and better offense, so having the ability to build around our shiny new QB seems like the prudent avenue, for the moment.

If we an edge rusher away from realistically contending for a SB then it would make sense. We're not and giving up assets that we may need to build around our rookie QB isn't going to make getting there any easier.

That high ankle sprain with 1 reception and 15 yards cost me my championship. Was a very nice prize pool.

No issues at all with constantly trying to improve our oline and its depth. We've seen what happens when you have poor depth. That's how guys like Jordan make the roster. If he's better than what we have, great. If not, move on. No need to be emotional in the decision. But let's be real, who doesn't want to see an angry white buffalo crushing an unsuspecting LB, just for old time's sake.

I remember that day well. Me and my dad weren't getting along much, but for those 4 hours, the only thing that mattered was Pamthers football and massive sunburn. Still ranks as one of the top 10 days ever.

Between Swift and Penny thats 4 games played before a trip to IR.

But do you reset the market based on hope that he will perform at a higher level in a new position? That feels like a very Hurneyeque thing to do. The Panthers put themselves in this position turning down 2 1sts and a 2nd. Not that they should or shouldn't have taken that trade, but that's a lot of value. Burns is going to get paid no doubt. I just hope we don't ridiculously overpay for a player that has yet to show he can consistently stop the run or set the edge.

I get the trots just thinking about eating there. I picked up some bo rounds for my dad and the bottom literally fell out of the bag from all the excess grease.

Brady's biggest goal was being the GOAT. Winning rings was more important than his NFL salary. Add in his TB12 marketing line and all the other money he made from endorsements more than made up for the 20 million he was "underpaid." Hell, the Patriots were buying half his TB12 crap to supplement the salary they weren't paying him.

I would have as well. It's all a matter of what you know when. At the time of the offer, we didn't know... Who would be the new HC? Who would be the new DC? What defensive scheme would we be running? Would McVay have stayed with no 1sts in 23, 24 and 25 and no 2nd rounder this year? Would Aaron Donald have retired if McVay had? Would it be reasonable to expect that a player of Reddick's caliber could be had at the contract value he got from Philly? Would it be possible to trade up to 1 and acquire a franchise QB? Would a franchise QB be available in this year's draft? Last year we didn't see any QB worthy of a top 10 pick or even close. So many questions that we just didn't have answers to at the time. I think Burns is a very good edge rusher but his game is not complete. He isn't a Bosa(s), Watts, or Garrett. Paying him a huge salary if he doesn't improve that area could result in paying Bosa money for Reddick production. It's always going to be an interesting debate on whether or not we should have done it. 6 Edge rushers went off the board this year between the Rams 2nd this year and our selection of DJ Johnson. Who knows how any of them will turn out. There's no need for anyone to get worked up over coulda, shoulda, woulda. Burns could get injured tomorrow and his career be over. It's Not For Long for a reason. It's all opinion on how would have been best to build the future. We should know in about 3-4 years if making the trade (or not) was the right decision. Personally, I always enjoy a little Sunday sofa GM'ing. It makes these boring weeks of the offseason a little more entertaining. There's only so many fantasy football mock drafts one can do.

I promise to stop cropdusting people who are trying to use their asthma inhalers.

AR keeps getting heralded as the Jets savior, but I don't see it. He's almost 40, hasn't thrown for over 300 yards in a game since '21 week 14, and is a temper tantrum away from wrecking the locker room. They better hope he can win the division, because as good as the AFC is, they could miss out on a wildcard if he's JAG.

At the time, we were a team with an interim coach, no QB, no real pass rush other than Burns, no OC worth a damn, and a lot of holes. It came down to is it better to keep Burns and pay his new contract at 25mpy likely, or get a couple 1sts and a 2nd this year, and get a QB and use that cap space for other things. No one knew who the new HC was going to be. No one knew if we were going to be able to trade up for BY or whoever else was ranked 1. There were a lot of unknowns. I'm glad things worked out the way they did. I have concerns about Burns ability as an edge setter against the run. That's the biggest weakness in his game. I don't want the team to pay a top tier contract if he can't improve that, which obviously will be a hindsights 20-20 thing. Will be an interesting discussion until we see where the picks end up being and what players were available.

I'm in the 5% Richardson. I still think he's going to be a very special QB and Carolina would have been a very good landing spot from him. If BY had a bigger frame and the size to absorb the punishment of the NFL for a long time, I think he would have been the 99% favorite. I hope they both succeed, except when AR plays us. Then he can Baker Mayfield it all day long.

Don't care. Chiefs just won a SB without a true WR1 and just a collection of guys.
