Not firing Marty Hurney at the start was definitely the most disappointing move.

Getting reeeaaal close to it since he has a $35M salary in 2022. Drops to $20M in 2023 but then hikes back up to $32M the two seasons after (roster bonus is covered by the old team, correct? Or is that not covered like signing bonuses?)

The Huddle has taught me that OLs don't matter, only franchise QBs do. Because Joe Thomas couldn't get Dan Marino a Super Bowl ring, or something like that. But fwiw the OL can be held together by retaining Moton and getting two cheap Gs. While Scott isn't a franchise LT, he did better than Little. Speaking of Little, Walker Little might be available in the 3rd and a replacement to free up cash from Paradis can definitely be found in this year's draft.

I will say tho, if the team pulls it off, that I cannot WAIT for the Huddle accountants to start screaming that because Watson is getting $40M+ in 2022 & 2023 that every throw should be a TD otherwise he "isn't worth it."

Yes pls HOU gets their x3 1sts, QBs swapped, and Carolina still gets a 3rd & 4th at the cost of a 2nd? Inject it directly into my veins

Cut him and draft his replacement this year. There are some pretty decent looking prospects.

I was about to say... The Defector makes Jason Whitlock look like he knows what he's talking about.

And an entire offensive line, unless you're cool with Greg Little, Dennis Daley, and Matt Paradis.

Announcers praising Rhule's attention to detail for every position group and compared him to Bellichick in his ability to stand in as a position coach at any position.

That is a hell of a strawman. The only valid rebuttal is if Graham's defense is worse, which the proof for that was lauding Ball's obvious playmaking ability? The kid's gonna start eventually. Right now, the big question is whether or not he can improve upon his defense.

Chazz Surratt crushing it in LB vs RB drill, Turf Borland looking the opposite so far

I'm just excited that we're vetting center prospects. Paradis is a potential cap casualty and the team needs the future pivot for the OL. There are a several very intriguing center prospects this year: Creed Humphrey (Oklahoma) Landon Dickerson (Alabama) Trey Hill (Georgia) Tyler Linderbaum (Iowa) Josh Myers (Ohio State) Drake Jackson (Kentucky) If the team is looking to continue the rebuild and not rush to win now, I'd love to see them scoop up a young guy to either learn for a year or supplant Paradis.

Lamelo's defense was a concern before the draft and is a concern now. These are also the same fans that think dumb poo like CMC is a slot WR, NY makes good BBQ, QAnon is real, and that Burger King makes good food.

Mel Kiper is the only draft analyst that makes me prefer WalterFootball.

I would think that professional basketball coaches don't pay any mind to angry parents. That's for YMCA coaches.

Not sure if this violates Huddle TOS since it's just part of the article and not the whole thing, but mods pls delete if necessary:

Me whenever I see a post pouting about beating Washington

Those concerns btw were based on Pederson internally promoting staff instead of looking at external candidates with top credentials, the fact that Pederson wanted to contend in 2021 - 2022 while Lurie wanted a "more long term approach," and he had lost the locker room (due to tanking). Wentz was the cherry on top, not the whole sundae.

Micah Parsons Kyle Pitts

Folks really in here whining that we didn't lose a game like Pederson didn't just get fired for doing what some of y'all been asking. Lawd almighty

From what we've, TEs are used primarily as decoys and downfield blockers in Brady's offense (along with short yardage situations). Whether or not that's due to talent or scheme though, who knows.

Moton, Chinn, Shaq, and Burns Honourable mention for Efe Obada

I cannot wait to have reliable lines on both sides of the ball again... woo boi

Prospects that I'm interested in: QBs, OL, front 7, and Austin Watkins Jr If I get some more availability later today I'll try to provide any update I can if somebody else hasn't already gotten to it first.
