Good point! Based on a very small sample size, it looks like the opposite. Rams went to the big game with Goff and won not too long after acquiring him (yes they traded him away to do so). The Eagles won one with Wentz (injured at the time) and went to another one not too long after. The Niners made a nice playoff push this year and if Lance was healthy who knows? The last few teams that have traded up for a top 3 QB used their extra cap space wisely and had good coaching which made them very competitive.

I love the "always throwing to open WRs" as a negative. So umm is he not suppose to throw it to the open WR?

So two years ago the Niners traded up to 3 for the third option. Hopefully it won't cost THAT to do it this year....

They are going to give Darnold a large contract and draft Levis while the Huddle explodes.

Put it this way... Will Kunkel is no Garry Cobb, but honestly who is???

Did the teach him to freak out under pressure and run around launching balls into double coverage?

I honestly don't have a problem with it. I PREFER AR because he is younger with more upside IMO, but I don't have a fraction of the knowledge our staff does about developing QBs.

I think we trade up to 3 and draft Levis just to keep things interesting in the Huddle...

So basically we need to be sold on Levis or AR and we trade with the Cards if we can?

I was just guestimating this in another thread by process of elimination. Levis rumors floating around, high praise for Young (plus he is high on all boards), and McCown being high on Stroud in his video review. If we are high on all 3 we should trade with the Cards sooner vs later.

I think you are one of the many who have been predicting this. It makes a lot of sense...

Trading to 3 means we probably keep our 25 first and we should have the option of Young/Stroud or whoever we like better out of Levis/AR. You really have to be sold on 3 QBs though and I think we might be... So there have been Levis rumors for a minute and we apparently like Young although he SHOULD be gone by 3. We also have McCown on camera comparing Stroud to Burrow and seemed high on him. Reports are currently that we don't think AR is worth that high of a pick, but the other 3 look to be fair game. Trade to 3 and let the pieces fall ahead of you.

But should we trade for Fields??

Hooker is worth a 2nd, but does a desperate team like Tampa use their first on him and leave us with nothing if we go that route? Counting on a QB in the second is definitely risky too.

If they think a certain player is their guy I’ll back them until they give me a reason not to, which hopefully won’t happen.

Hooker is flying under the radar due to that ACL injury. ACLs just don't seem like as big of a deal as they were many years ago. I get he might miss some early games, but most rookie QBs would be in the same boat healthy or not.

It would be nice if one of these QBs makes it to 9 and we have all of those picks to build around the rookie.

If they just start winning games everyone will get on board. Rookie QB or not.

Thanks for sharing a Panthers hype piece about a staff member. Want me to share the one they posted when we hired Rhule? So your entire view of him is how long he has worked in the league and what our future cap MIGHT be. We have the second highest dead money hit in the league. Do you know what that means? It's money we can't spend now because of shitty contracts that we wanted to get rid of. You are also bragging about signing players with a tight cap? Why is our cap so tight every year? If our cap is full or over then you would think we would have a very good roster full of great players, but (while there is talent) we all know that's not the case. We don't even have a QB which is the post important and expensive position... If he can keep the future cap space free and clear, I will be happy with that. However free agency hasn't evens started and like I stated we are OVER the cap with a lot of holes to fill. That typically means restructuring deals and signing backloaded contracts. It will be interesting to see how 24's cap space looks once out 23 team is fully built. If he can make it work while still keeping 24/25 wide open I will give him credit. Believe me this is something I would love to be wrong on. I am just not impressed with him and the past however many years he has been here. It seems like most years he has been here we have been in bad positions with the cap, but hey maybe that will change in the future?

It's a good feeling to actually trust the coaching staff for once.

I'm saying he hasn't done much to impress me. If his job is making the numbers work for the salary cap then he has done a poor job. I also am not concerned about his scouting comments as he isn't even good at his primary job. It gets deflected with he is good at contracts, but doesn't do FINAL contracts, he has probably been overruled by Rhule in those bad contracts, well he is being prepped as GM, the league respects him. Basically a long list of excuses and fluff without any real information in it. Who exactly is he well-respected by? Random Huddlers? It is a cap guy's fault that we are over the cap this year? That we have one of the top amounts of dead cap space? I understand you like the guy, I just don't understand why? Can you tell me what he has done well that YOU like?

So he is good at contract numbers, but doesn't handle the FINAL contracts?? I'm just saying I keep hearing his name come up yet I look at how our cap has been handled and I can't find a positive correlation. It seems like it's one of those "oh if the number were bad he must have been overruled, but if they are good it was all him" moments. Must be nice having a job with no real responsibility or accountability... Does not agreeing with you make be a Scot?
