Ted Ginn Jr.'s Hands

I'm more optimistic this year at this time than last.  Worst case scenario, we get David Carr 2.0 a qb that can't un-shake his ptsd from playing behind a trash o-line and we get a high draft pick next year.  This gives us ability to potentially take Slater or even Sewell at LT.  If for some reason the 49ers take Mac and Fields starts falling, I think you still take a swing at him.

After watching a few games of his last year, I really like him as a prospect.  I don't think we will have to worry about any deficiencies because I suspect he will be long gone before we pick.

A bad team will overpay him based on name recognition.

He was horrible his first stint and worse this stint. 

 

No idea why Hurndog signed him. 

He played a hell of a lot better for the Chargers than he ever did here.  Marty probably thought he had turned over a new leaf out in San Diego.  Another Marty fail.

Not trying to be funny, but who gives a fv<k what Joe Banner thinks? Plenty of people think it would be a great deal, but many have also acknowledged that we might even be willing to sweeten the pot if that deal was ever put on the table, particularly if the Dolphins or Jets come stronger.

Exactly, this is the season for hyperbolic BS to be thrown out.  Carson Wentz was being thrown out by various parties as being worth 2 1sts and the market settled at a much more reasonable price.

I found it funny that the Texans witnessed what a dumpster fire he was here and felt the need to give him a $7.5M contract.  After that they pretty much gave up on him and traded for Tunsil.

1. Trade for Watson

2. Trade up in draft (probably to #2 or #3) for Wilson

3. Trade for Carr

4. Lesser trade up in the draft for Fields or Lance (#5 or #6)

5. Sign Trubisky as FA (this could still be a bridge option if we plan to go with #4)

6. Trade for Minshew

Not interested in trading for Wentz, Darnold, or limping another season with Teddy.

I generally agree with this list.  Regarding #1,  I think the main thing we would offer as an advantage for the Texans over the Jets, etc. is that we are in the NFC and they would be trading him out of the conference.  In about 2 years after Brady, Brees, Rodgers, Ryan retires, the quality of QB play will be ridiculously shifted towards the AFC due to all of the elite young QBs.  If we got Watson, he'd be the only elite nfc quarterback under 30.

I'd probably rather have Minshew than Trubisky.  Honestly, I'd say if we can't get Watson or a QB through the draft, he would be my next option.  He played really well as a rookie and was battling a thumb injury last year, so there wouldn't be as much risk as a shoulder injury, etc.  This article suggests he could be had for a day 3 pick.

I was always a big Al Wallace fan.  I wonder if he got back into public schools / administration.

I saw someone mention Patrick Jeffers earlier, it is a damn shame he tore up his knee

On the other part of that post, does that mean the Saints acknowledge that Taysom Hill just may not turn out to be the greatest QB to grace the planet?  I am surprised, said no non-Saints fan ever.

Troy Aikman every time Taysom Hill steps on the field

I haven't generally been a fan of trading the farm for Watson, but I'd take this in a heartbeat.  Supposedly Deshaun is threatening to sit out if they don't trade him, maybe that will push the price down some, but probably not this much.

I think the Minnesota game was the straw that broke the camel's back with Rhule this season and the fact that Teddy tried to deflect blame for missing Moore wide open in the end zone.

Yes, it sucks that we won that game, however we could have trotted out Jimmy Clausen and still won.  Washington / Haskins were straight up awful.

I love 1910 and 1920, I'd give the nod to 1910 though.  For my money, the best $25 and under bourbon in the liquor store is OF 100.

Did Ron learn absolutely nothing in his time here?
