You have Lance in your avatar. Lawrence is by far the best QB in this Draft. Who do you hate out of Fields and Wilson?

JT O'Sullivan shredded Newman on his YT channel 'QB School'. Well, as much as he shreds anyone - seems to want to keep on the good side of everyone.

(I'm going to get poo'd for this) I think people are blinded by their hate for Bridgewater. I absolutely don't think we're tied to him - his manageable contract and comments by Fitterer / Tepper / Rhule suggest that - but he was ok last year. 3,700 yards (basically 4k combined), 20 TDs (combined), all without his best offensive weapon. He's not the future, but he does provide you with a security blanket so that you don't have to reach for a Mac Jones or a Kyle Trask if you trade down in the first round. I've no idea where those two are going by the way, but I also wouldn't be surprised if some team has a first round grade on them - I just don't see it myself.

I've never understood people trying to predict the future. Mac Jones and Kyle Trask came from practically nowhere to borderline 1st round picks this year. Burrows came from literally nowhere to the #1 overall pick. You have to let these 18/19/20 year olds develop. Right now people are pushing Wilson and Lance based off one good year. It's the same every time.

He said acquire a QB each year, which is the right thing to do. You should always carry three QBs imo. If the second guy isn't pushing the starter then he's on the bubble with the third guy (who should be a developmental prospect). As for the mental gymnastics around Stafford. They're getting a first round pick for him - if we want him it's going to cost #8 overall. Everyone talking about trading back / throwing their C into the mix. It ain't happening. This will be settled way before the Draft. I'd be v, v surprised if he's not a Colt.

I think it's more that we're irrelevant when it comes to the national media.

Is he bringing Patrick Mahomes with him?

It's just pure corruption.

Well, fug.

At the moment if you're not Alabama, Ohio St, Clemson (or LSU for one miracle year) you're not winning a National Championship.

At this point the NFL's only hope is someone suplexing Mahomes onto his head and causing a permanent injury. Otherwise, buckle up for another poo eating dynasty.

I mean I was banging the table for us to draft Mahomes. It is what it is.

fug.

They sold out for a Superbowl. I'm v. frustrated that it's worked for them - it looked like it was a pipe dream for most of the year.

You either want an NFL Head Coach job or you don't. There's only 32 of them.

Oh poo I forgot about Indy and NE. Whelp, shelve those dreams of Stafford. He's going to a winning franchise.

Matthew Stafford is a brilliant QB. He's a huge upgrade over what we have and he has 5 years left - easy. I think the broken ribs hit Brees hard this year, not Father Time.

Drew Brees and Tom Brady are in their 40s. Rodgers is in his late 30s. It's a different NFL these days.

Hi, we're the Carolina Panthers and boy are we desperate.

Roche never played with Rousseau - GR opted out of the season. He played opposite Jaelen Phillips, a UCLA transfer, who's being talked about at the end of the 1st round, start of the 2nd round.

I thought it was $2bn? Anyway, by that point Rivera was a 2 time NFL Coach of the Year. He's also walked into another NFL Head Coaching gig after being fired by us. He's clearly well thought of in football circles. If you're a little bit overawed by the football side when you first buy your franchise I can see why you'd listen to your football contacts and retain Rivera. I'd have sacked him 5 minutes after the ink had dried, but that's by the by.

The Texans would be foolish to trade for McCaffrey. If they're forced to trade Watson it's a full rebuild. You don't take on team unfriendly contracts like McCaffrey's. I'd be after Chinn / Brown / Burns / Moore and first round picks.

Fingers crossed it's just Fitterer following up on his "in on every deal" mantra. You don't build a consistent winner by trading away that much Draft capital for one player when your roster is a shambles.

I thought the Rhule press conference was more telling. He said that every GM candidate and every organisation has the philosophy, in theory, of QB / Oline / Dline. It's whether you practice what you preach.

I'm just at the part where Tepper said "Unless you can fix your audio we're done". That was a terrifying tone he took though.
