Mr. Scot

I've seen loads of speculation that the Patriots want Garoppolo back.

I know there's a certain mindset some people have that if they mouth off to somebody famous, it somehow makes them a big deal. My personal opinion is more often than not, it makes you look like a dumbsh-t.

Seriously, what the hell, kid?

Yeah, that one's a head scratcher. Bridgewater obviously has reason. Thompson though?

Could be worse. Imagine being dumb enough to think that I, as a random internet guy, actually know more about what's going on inside the team than somebody who works for them. Now that would take a complete moron.

To call Dan Sileo "hit or miss" would be a compliment. I suppose it's possible though. Bridgewater's skill set would fit Shanahan's system. Wouldn't imagine he'd think of him as a starter though. The news about Shaq Thompson is definitely interesting.

Wait... Do you genuinely not know that Bill Voth is employed by the Panthers? I swear, we've reached a whole new level of dumb in this thread

Right Here's the thing. Any time he wants to, Bill Voth can walk up to Samir Suleiman and say "Hey man, what would happen to the cap if we traded / cut this player?" I can pretty much guarantee that Suleiman's answer is not going to be "Let me go look that up on the internet." Feel free to write a hundred more paragraphs trying to explain how your opinion as a guy who looks up stuff on the internet is more informed than that of someone who's actually part of the organization. Just be advised ahead of time that you've already lost my interest.

Same. And while I'd never say Russell Wilson isn't a good quarterback, it is fair to point out that Seahawks Super Bowl victory had a lot less to do with him than it did their defense.

That was Grigson, wasn't it?

I won't claim to have known this existed.

A guy who's part of the team and has access to their inside people is wrong, but you (random internet fan) who looks at cap websites are right. Wow When you travel somewhere, do you have to buy a separate ticket for your ego?

If you file it under "anything is possible" sure. I'd give it about the same likelihood as Teddy Bridgewater taking an 80% pay cut because he understands he's not performing well.

Voth's exact statement is that it isn't.

I'd agree, but you're always going to have the egotistical coach that looks at an underachieving player and says "I can fix him".

I think if you went back and asked the guys actually running those defenses, they'd have a different opinion. The reason we know this is because many of them said so.

Imagine having a great quarterback and McCaffrey though. (and yes, that's possible)

Injury or no injury, not someone I'd covet.

Voth has made pretty clear that's not gonna happen.

I questioned drafting Tua because of his injury. A year in, his injury doesn't necessarily look that bad, but his performance doesn't look very good.

I'd agree, but it's also fair to point out that with a healthy McCaffrey all those guys have the potential to be even more productive given the attention defenses are going to pay to him. In the previous season, teams' entire game plan was pretty much just to stop McCaffrey.

You really only have to go back five. Peyton was a shell of himself when we played the Broncos. Again though, you're still talking about a formula that works maybe once every ten years. I prefer something a little more consistent.

We seem to be at that stage in the offseason where if a team official orders coffee, it means we're going after Player X. Feels like we got to that point earlier than usual this year.

There's uncertainty whether we have enough money to keep Samuel now. Trade McCaffrey and all the money they've only recently freed up goes bye-bye.

Disagree. I think Weis was a very good offensive coach. I remember reading about some of his strategies when he was with the Patriots. With all that said, I'm still not a big fan of drafting Jones, especially at #8.
