I’m ready. It’s been maaaaaany years since we have seen dynamic QB play on our team.

Yeah I mentioned it was not an apples to apples comparison but still good to talk about what his number may be a season or two from here if he continues to get better as he has already shown.

We DO have that cap Magic now. That’s why we have the 2nd largest amount of cap after all of our recent signings. Look at the structures of our recent free agency signings. TMJ is no where near worrying about a 2nd contract yet and WR contracts have taken a big step back this offseason.

Yeah if they are on each layer of the defense. Every team has an expensive vet at each level of a defense. Plus a rookie QB wage scale gives toy a ton of flexibility. Again Saints were 100 million over the cap and are now middle in the NFL in cap space even AFTER signing Carr to a 100 million dollar deal.

I really believe Brown, Burns, Horn, and hopefully Chinn become our building block home grown stars over the next few seasons. You can’t let young talent like that get away that you helped develop. Our cap team can always make it work, Saints we’re 100 million over and are already middle of the pack in the nfl cap space after signing Carr to a 100 million dollar contract. You can afford to lock these guys up with a (fingers crossed) franchise QB on a 5 year rookie pay scale.

I agree. The earlier the better.

Obviously different players so no I am not saying this is an apple to apple comparison. I would like to discuss Browns next contract through and what we can realistically expect to pay. Cap goes up every year and Brown is growing into a really impactful player and has improved each season. It’s a slow time so get off Young and Strouds jock and let’s discuss some hog Molly future contracts in Burns and Brown. ARTICLE: Word that Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons agreed to a contract extension with the team on Friday has been followed by reports about the terms of the deal. Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports that there it is a four-year, $94 million deal for Simmons. Simmons had been set to make a base salary of $10.753 million under the terms of the fifth-year option on his rookie contract. Closer looks at Simmons’ new pact will show further details, but Davenport reports there is $66 million in guaranteed money and a $24 million signing bonus. The annual average of the deal puts Simmons behind only Aaron Donald among defensive tackles. That will be of interest to a number of other teams and players as they move toward deals of their own. Simmons’ fellow 2019 first-round picks Quinnen Williams, Ed Oliver, Christian Wilkins, and Dexter Lawrence are all looking for new deals this offseason and Simmons’ agreement — along with Daron Payne‘s new deal in Washington — will likely have ripple effects through their own negotiations in the coming weeks and months. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2023/04/07/reports-jeffery-simmons-deal-is-for-four-years-94-million/

Instincts, feeling pressure, having an internal clock is something you cannot measure. Size does not matter….limiting contact escaping pressures quick release it much more important. I see people compare young to Tua which I can see, but he has an injury history and his size does not tell his ability to sense/feel/escape pressure. Cam Newton is a perfect example of an all time QB size wise and he’s out of the league currently because of the hits he has taken. Tom Brady was tall but not big bulk wise by any means, he’s also always been a statue in the pocket and played well into his 40’s

You really want a 6 foot 5 QB who is built like a DE. That way they will definitely be durable and less likely to get injured and play into the age of 40 like Cam Newton….oh wait.

I took that as Rivera saying he learned a lesson on how to communicate his plan better to the owner as in saying he as a head coach could have done a better job. Not really a knock on Tepper, it seems that he is relating that he did wrong the first time comparing to the new owner of the commanders and what he will do better this time around.

We have enough WR 3 talent. Let’s get a young guy in the draft and we are set with who we have.

I know Cowherd is a turd, but I thought this was a great discussion about Franks history developing QB’s, how that can relate to CJ Stroud, and TJ Houzmanzada’s opinion on the situation.

It feels like this board is filled with 13 year old kids sometimes. This makes sense.

I love the throwback vibe.

I know they are clowns but to dismiss the points made does not make sense. The tape does not lie. Combine results do not change how you scout these QB’s and AR will not be the pick. No way what TD said comes true, the staff is not that dumb. CJ and Young are on another level of QB and they will not risk their job by drafting AR number one overall.

Reminder ^

I agree. No way TD would disclose info from our top office guys like that. If he did that no one would be leaking info to him anymore and neither Fitt or the coaching staff have ties to TD at all. This seems like a planned leak.

Man I love TD but I have a very hard time believing that. The front office and staff really seem to have everything we would want for drafting and developing a QB. With Reich and McCown on the team I don’t see any way that they love the tape of AR over Young or Stroud. No way Fitt or the coaching staff have enough insight with TD to disclose that information, and surely he knows it would be a bad idea to leak information to the press like this being a our Panther legend. This has smoke screen written all over it like someone up too wanted this to get out. The team said you had to have conviction of a player to move up and I seriously doubt they were thinking AR when they moved up. BEWARE OF THE SMOKE!
