Yes, then cord cutting became popular. Let the customer pick which services they want and more importantly, don't need.

Ugh, and we drafted Mingo. I guess we need to take Legette too. I thought our team was all about analytics? How in the fug did they miss this? I knew last year when I watched Mingo film that he could not get separation, either in the route or after the catch. Hey Tepper, do you have a scouting opening? I don't need a huge salary. Apparently your guys suck!

Washington's offense struggled this season and Reid's offense is playing for the Lombardi Trophy Sunday.

Yup, I stopped watching the Top Cats years ago. The eye candy got stale.

It's a la carte consumption. I prefer that that to a one size fits all cable or satellite service. I did both (one or the other) for years. Before I cut the cord, my BASIC--BARE BONES-- Direct TV bill got up to $180 per month.

I guess I won't be cancelling Hulu after all. I also guess the price will increase.

Some people just want the NFL to turn into a glorified 7-on-7 drill. Screw the trench players and RBs. I guess we still need a center to hike the ball unless the QB picks the ball up himself from the turf. The defense needs to count to five Mississippi before they can rush though!

Put like that.I'd take the easy out too. No wonder the guy looked absolutely miserable.

We'd have to move back like 7-9 picks to get a top of the 4th round selection. There should be a glut of WRs in that area as the top tier guys will be all gone. As long as they have 2 or 3 guys rated close in that second tier, that could be an option.

How about we trade back a few picks, likely still get the same guy and pick up another selection to draft a second WR?

Can't say I didn't give the offense some help.

Chark and Shenault are FAs; I wouldn't expect either of them back. That was two of our top five guys coming into the season last year. Cutting TMJ would just create another hole leaving only Thielen and Mingo as anything worth counting. Smith-Marsette may be retained, but if so, primarily for his return abilities. After that you have camp bodies that were signed to futures contracts.

I agree in principle, but there's too many holes on the roster to address every need in one offseason. If he's a locker room cancer, then cut him, but if he's simply maxed out as a mediocre NFL WR then he can just be depth.

TMJ still has a year on his rookie deal. He's cheap depth if nothing else, like WR5 or WR6. He can walk next offseason.

A day 3 rookie isn't getting overpaid, not on his rookie deal anyway. That's what I, and a few others, were advocating for. We've already got Sanders to fit the bill you described, except the stud part.

A more refined, 'Hollywood' version of Matt Rhule.

Yep, but he has to know that's holding him back if that's the case. Some people are stubborn and want to make something work that's not in their best interest. I admire the determination, but the whole forcing a square peg in a round whole idea. Chinn isn't a bad safety, actually he's pretty good, but I think he could be a Pro Bowl LB.

Fair, but he's acknowledged his past, accepted the responsibility and has moved on. If this was going on currently, yeah, I would get concern. Isn't that the steps to recovery? Acknowledge, take responsibility and move on? All we can hope is he has truly put all that behind him and not succumb to any of that stuff now or in the future.

No, he's a better LB than DB and they won't convert him to a full time LB. Imagine if Thomas Davis had stayed a safety?

That's cool if that how you felt across the board, but I know it's not, and was crystal clear in that post. Is he qualified? I would say his resume' is thin. I have no idea how he's going to turn out or the team with his staff hires. Odds are stacked against him heavily, but his personal life, especially the distant past isn't conflicting him now. He seems to be in a good place with his personal life and if he fails here it's because of this bad franchise, the tight window he's got to turn this thing around in and largely coaching decisions. Let's pray for his success.

So the disagreement here is I think Bryce can't be fixed as of now and you need it proven one more season. I can't bare to endure another year of misery, at least this season's level, so yes, I want to prop Bryce up. Also, you saw his passing charts correct? All he did was dink and dunk, which is epitome a PG QB. We had no vertical passing attack, but that's not what PG QB is known for and frankly, not what suits Bryce best at this level.

Especially when the OP of said thread attacks certain groups they obviously disagree with in their TL/DR epic rant. If Canales and his staff doesn't work out, it has nothing to do with their personal lives outside of football. It would mean they aren't good football coaches. So keeping it 100% about football it should remain.

Bryce isn't getting replaced this season, so do whatever we can to help him out. We can utilize a power running out of the gate without hardly any personnel changes. Heck, Wilks nearly parlayed a dominant run game into a full time HC gig here and he did it mid-season. Not only that, but our OL is suited to a downhill style too and no, we aren't replacing the entire OL this season either, so work to their strengths.

Lol, with the year. Yes, the NFL is made to be pass happy now, but a solid run game game can take you far. I mean let's make RBs go the way of FBs, scrap the trenches and make the entire League like the Pro Bowl game. That looks fun! If Tepper/Fittereer screwed the pooch with Bryce and can't turn into a legit #1 QB, he absolutely needs a running game to help him out. I need that too in order for the games to be tolerable to watch. A strong passing game and solid rushing attack are not mutually exclusive, even in 2024.

With his cap number? Nah, he'll be here. After the 2024 season, yeah, he's gone. $10M cap hit pre-June $7.5M post-June cap hit
