Another year of Teddy and I expect to see signs of fans turning against this crew. 

So how many poor women do we have to sacrifice to him to lure him here?

If this is the answer to win now at that price the team goes that route, it's all going to be a 'room full of monkeys with piles of crap everywhere' kind of fun. We have one good Olineman who is likely franchised, no cap space from yet again dead cap galore and there is nothing about SB or future with this move. 

Ben can go try to win another SB or retire, he isn't coming here to do either. I would say bye Felicia but it's not fair to make Felicia his next target.

Frankly, I do not know how you can be an owner of a team and NOT make suggestions in general.  It is no secret that the NFL teams that succeed have good QBs.  There is no difference of opinion concerning QB in Carolina.  So from that perspective, I assume that he is engaged.  As far as evaluating talent, etc. I would think not.  The comment from Fits--"We are going to be involved in every QB deal"  (paraphrasing) is what I am basing this on---Tepper is barking a bit.  Maybe I am wrong, but Tepper is involved to some degree--the only debate is to what degree.

The last part absolutely. Just how much and where.

I know, but maybe he is (as suggested by his front office changes) surrounding him with football minds and he is just the kid in the back seat screaming, "Are we there yet?"  Except this kid in the backseat is also the one with the credit card for gas.

That's the hope, unfortunately the non-football mind had a hand in the hiring of both football minds...that's going to leave me uneasy until they prove it's not an issue.

I'd rather give up Jackson than the others, but I definitely noted that D-Jax's name came out of Fitts' mouth very early when he was talking about our promising young players.

Good then he believes there is value there...if he can reach it lol

It sure sounds as if Tepper is ready to make his move now.  Got rid of Marty, got his coach, and he saw us stay in games wiht a huge dead cap figure, undrafted free agents all over the place, and injuries to Okung, CMC,--with a terrible situation at LG---and we still were in most games--within a score, and us without a QB who can get us over the hump.  So I have a feeling we are going all in.

 

Sounds incredibley dangerous to have such a push coming from  someone with so little football knowledge. I get the desire but I'm not sold on the price.

I don't want to lose any of these young guys, but a young franchise qb is going to hurt in some areas--current players for future first rounders.  having said that, they need to proceed as if he is not available.

 

If I had to choose it would be Brown and like you said, that's not with 3 first. DTs are replaceable, even with all that talent Brown has. 

If it works, great. If not, draft a QB at 8 and see what happens. We literally could draft a QB in the first for three years and have solid odds to find one since we will be picking top 10 until we get one.

Hell no to Burns, Chinn or Brown. Jackson would be perfect, that's a guy we shouldn't try and resign, get something out of him before that decision. Just tell them Shaq is a real Buffalo nickle, Rivera swears.

Lmao Tobias Fünke does mock drafts?

I mean we were in the Superbowl and could have won with expensive RBs if not for Shula but we would be the outlier and this is a good chart for what it is.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to be the outlier. It does show the reality of the NFL though, that's a pattern that would require us as is to be an outlier. If anything you can say that CMC is such a receiving threat that he can be an outlier. I still hands down would rather see CMC as a Samuels type WR over RB while having a power back or rookie contract RB any day.

So what Im hearing is that young RBs win Super Bowls

Small cap allocation to RB wins. Plenty of talent but the contracts are rookie cost level.

Love the numbers.

Wow Hurney was bad, DG was top 10 except one terrible year (his downfall in Carolina, still got Bradburry) and the Seahawks have been very average since their draft guru left.

Most of those players were on their rookie deals and got PAID shortly after. 

But they were not paid at the time of winning a SB or winners of a SB after getting paid, that's a noticeable trend. 

2 1st and CMC max. Poor CMC, he should move to WR so he can prolong his career.

Mac would take his signing bonus in chick fil a nuggets and honey mustard.

I think that restructure gave Marty the incentive to keep him in 2020 so he could try to keep his job. He failed miserably. 

And if I remember it was to make a run in 2019 on the cheap to save both Ron and Marty...two failures in two years. Classic Hurney

It honestly should have only been 1 not so great year (2018). It was designed as a 3 year deal and the restructure made it a 4 year one instead of doing the smart thing and just cutting bait last year.

I completely forgot it was a restructure on his original 2017 deal. 

Good player that should never got the contract extension we have been choking on the last two years. He is done now but I sure enjoyed his dominate years. 

They should draft Mac Jones at 4.

Great story, cool guy and becoming a better player continously. Nothing but love and hope here.

Woah, way too young. Crazy and very suspicious. 

In 2 or 3 years the implosion will be epic.

They should be using a draft pick to unload that contract. We should have offered Teddy and asked for a 3rd. 

The Bears going from the terrible T to the ruined W is just fun to watch. A parade of broken dreams if you will.
