I think the current "top QB" lists are going to look very goofy by April. Lots of these holdover guys from last year have been extremely underwhelming.

Sellers is gonna be an interesting one. If he wants to get that bag, jump this year when people see all the potential and not the flaws. If he believes in himself and wants to put the work in, stick around another year or two and refine all that raw ability. That said, not sure SC is the place for that.

The blowing of this bad decision is very hilarious. Mingo Light.

People just eat that poo up while shitting on Cam. Hmmmmm.....interesting.

Who are you? What control do you have?

I need to see more. Seems like the class bust mold on the surface. Would rather gamble on guys with more college experience and success. Mateer(depending on this year's outcome/play), Mendoza, Green, etc. I get the hype on Sellers measurables but, show me more.

Wait....the SHAART rankings are serious????!!!

I never bought into this class. Too many of these guys are dudes that were ranked behind Ward, etc. Klubnik, Allar, Nussmeier, Beck, etc. Lots of hanging chads from an underwhelming 2025 Draft class.

100%. They have shrewd and intelligent evaluators. We have the 180 degrees of that. We outsmart ourselves attempting to be the smartest guy in the room CONSTANTLY.

It does really look like they are forcing throws to him. Honestly, all the more reason to sit him. Don't let the focus on attempting to feed a struggling player the ball hurt the overall offense. He ain't JaMarr Chase.

Those guys, for all their faults, knew what it took to play in the NFL and were familiar with success. They could also establish and maintain culture. We haven't had that since.

Yep. As I keep saying, if our evaluation ability wasn't so terrible some of these choices wouldn't be so bad.

IIRC, he isn't exactly coming from an impoverished background in the first place. I think this is just the realization for the first time in his life that he is unable to make this next leap up to the NFL level. This isn't rare, dozens and dozens of players hit this wall every single season. Hell, think about how many guys we typically acquire in each individual draft that hit this wall, largely due to our dogshitt evaluation capabilities. Edit: I am tripping. I was talking about Bryce, not XL. I actually have zero idea about XL's background. I suppose he can't be TOO poor if he is a horse owner. That ain't a cheap hobby.

He has a heftier contract than you would think. I think the issue is that the Texans will want likely more than he is worth. They are in no great need of trading him. I am fine with Mills as a bridge attempt, no issue with that. I just don't want to be seeing top 4 round draft picks headed out the door, even considering our lack of ability to capitalize on them.

DJ Johnson just ticked too many boxes on the warning list. Unpolished/raw at his position, older guy, etc. Project players don't belong in the top 3 rounds, IMO. Not on teams completely bereft of talent. The Ravens, 49ers, etc of the world can get away with that. It's hard to justify that in the condition our roster usuallu is.

Trust me, I wasn't either. Just seemed like another TMJ, Mingo, etc. Well.....turns out it was.

Upper tier backups have good options available. Also, hitching your bandwagon to a career backup isn't likely to pan out. Mills is a possibility, but that would have to be a trade. He is under contract through 2026. Same with Lock, under contract through 2026.

Fishing around in the dumpster isn't the answer. Get better at prospect evaluation is literally the only answer. Or maybe drastically overpay some aging veteran, which seems like an unwise idea.

Yeah, unfortunately those stories aren't common.

The earliest that would be financially reasonable for them is after 2026. If they attempted that before then, it is a nine figure dead money hit. He would have to agree to massively restructure.

I think it's the other way around. He tried to get a bigger contract and did. This wouldn't make any sense for the Rams until after 2026 based on the contract.

I don't know that he is or isn't better than what we have. What I do know is that for many years now he was a PS player that anyone in the NFL could have taken.

Well it would probably cost you maybe league minimum + very little to obtain him in the offseason. I am gonna guess, unless he gets money thrown his way, he is probably going to stick there in Cincy. We have most of the rest of the season to see what he is.

Jesus....hard bargain, I see. 2 1sts, a 2nd and Horn.

I mean, he would be insanely cheap. I would caution betting the farm on a 29 year old career PS guy.
