Some of those things are true though? If Burns was traded we would have plenty of ammo to move up and it not hurt nearly as much. If we hadnt won pointless games we wouldnt have to try to to begin with.

Derek Henry was a running back. My qb being built like a running back is the least of my concerns.

This is that media hype that happens every year that im not sure I believe. He tested great, everyone knew he would. Im not sure why that would jump him up a lot. Most nfl teams weigh tape a lot higher than verticals and broad jumps. Did he help himself? Sure, I'm just not as sure if its as drastic as everyone getting caught up in the track numbers. In the throwing drills you could clearly see he needs some work. Call me crazy but i think a qbs throwing and game tape is a lot more important than their vertical in tights.

Stroud clearly looks the best passing in this second group.

Youre not worried about ball placement here nesscesarily, they are throwing to a spot. They are running with a different wr every pass and theyve most likely never worked with any of them or have any idea of how fast/slow they are.

Even if the deal is worked out, unless youre trading up to #1, im not sure why you would announce it before the draft. All that does is give more time for teams to try to jump in front of us for who they think we like.

To be fair cam definitely wasnt the consensus #1 pick pre draft

Hes going to be shorter and lighter than that.

I agree to an extent but you cant swing just to swing. Youve got to weigh the risk vs compensation.

That is true, but there are lots of drafts where no qb ends up being a Mahomes.

I hope so too. I am totally fine if they really believe in one they want and its not just giving in to the pressure of needing to find a qb. I just mean this place is going to explode if they dont make the move to trade up and take one but what if its because they dont actually believe in one? Everyone is impatient with the fact we haven't taken one in the past couple years but now with hindsight 20/20 there havent been any really good qbs yet come out of those drafts.

What if they dont 100% believe though? Do you still trade up to take one just to take one?

Height barely has anything to do with batted balls. Josh Allen had the most batted balls this past season. Cam always seemed to have a decent bit batted down even. It relies a lot more on the oline and the qb ability to find a passing lane than height.

Yea hes just a consultant/assistant. I think they are going young-ish with both coordinators and pairing them with a consultant with a lot of experience to help them.

He's not hired to be the offensive coordinator...

I think that could be the case and if so it would probably mean someone like Thomas Brown who hes specifically mentioned before.

They were overpaying but if you want to be technical and not listen to the people who just say thats what the huddle does, his value got lower because now hes almost a full season closer to a big pay day than he was at that time. The more games left to be played on that rookie contract, the more value.

He was also going against a defense played by players who most likely weren't going to make the team as well to be fair.

Yea hes really cherry picking to make his argument and making a lot of excuses. The defense regressed. Its ok to admit that. It doesnt nesscesarily mean Wilks was a bad coach.

Its interesting Tepper apparently wasnt at all the coaching interviews last time. Maybe he wasnt quite as meddling as we assumed. Also like Ive said all along, he took ownership of the mistake and basically said it was all on him. People in new jobs are likely to make mistakes. Its human nature. What matters is what you do after the mistakes. If you learn from them and fix your mistakes you can definitely become good at your job. Im not saying he definitely WILL become a good owner but i do think that he definitely CAN become a good owner. Anyone that has already thought that he couldnt had their mind made up anyways

I disagree to an extent. It creates more needs in some spots but it fills some too and puts a lot of our best defensive players and young players in a more natural position i.e. burns at olb.

Height and batted balls definitely dont have much correlation. I believe Josh Allen led the league in batted balls this season. How the oline blocks, play calling, and qb finding passing lanes makes much more difference than height. Regardless of all that the answer to your question is yes.

How much of KC offensive success is based on Andy Reid and his play calling? We have no idea how much EB even does with the offense. He also doesnt fit in what we seem to want in our coaching staff which is guys who can mesh well and collaborate with each other. Also i believe even a couple KC players themselves have said hes hard to deal with and doesnt know much about the passing game.

I dont think the panthers coaching or front office think about him at all really.

Yea I think he was expressing something hes said in other interviews. He wants a mobile qb that can also throw from the pocket well.
