Bear Hands

Jalen Carter could realistically get at minimum manslaughter charges. Yeah, the top of this draft may have just gotten thinner.

He was operating in a very risk averse mode and did respectable. Looking around the league, there's only a few other backups I'd prefer, but that means you need a sure thing at QB1, which we don't have, and I just don't see him as this bridge so many want to find. When the running game works like it did, that will get most QBs comfortable and able to eventually throw a few nice PAs on post & seam routes. It's nice that he got comfortable again and managed well, but you have to look at the scenario. If we bring him back, it's because he's our backup behind Stroud or Levis. I see no situation in which he's the dude you bring back out there ahead of a prospect like AR or maybe Hooker. You need someone more sustainable for a complete season. That's more a Brissett, Heinicke, hell, I'd take Mike White. I also just don't see him as a fit in Reich's system. I think he makes sense behind a guy like Fields or Kyler. Better insurance policy than those squad are used to. Just don't see the fit or need for him to come back unless it's not much and we landed a QB we can start sooner than later.

He had quite the stellar achievement in having the lowest recorded game winning QBR in league HISTORY in that final Saints battle.

Reich was straight up asked about the rostered QBs. It was like he didn't even know Corral was here. Mentioned knowing and being the one to draft Eason and then nothing. Think he said something like "Well I do know one"

I mean, Reich has mentioned Eason more than Corral. Just saying.

One pick of many, and I don't want to settle on a maybe with Corral. That would be our 4th or 5th pick in the draft. This is all a big if anyways, and I don't think we land Carr. Well, hopefully we don't ha.

I didn't say otherwise?

oh ffs

If we land him, I could see a scenario where we still pick up a QB in April but more like Haener in R3-4. I saw someone joking about that being two Fresno Staters but I can see that as a legit possibility IF Carr happens. Someone like Jake would be perfect to have behind DC. I'm not discarding Corral though-- he'll be here to compete for that backup spot.

Not to mention they now have Bienemy there. Just a weird grouping of parts.

The WAS situation is a fun one with Snyder's ownership standoff and them now only having Howell on their roster (Heinicke is UFA and Wentz released). I'd think they go after a vet insurance policy behind Howell. Doubt a top vet wants to be there. It's primed to be Rivera's last season, Snyder's exit, and probably a path to the league cellar all in one.

Speculation and smoke makes for a fun time of year. My gut tells me they want Lamar and bad. Our division may go from Brady-Mariota-Dalton-Darnold to Jimmy G-Lamar-Carr-Levis

Both Wentz and Mariota officially released

Falcons officially gunning for Rodgers/Carr/Lamar? I don't see them going with Ridder, although he didn't look terrible (compared to the rest of last year's class that is). They've got cap.

Oh damnnnnn

Seems like a good S to pair with Woods. Cleveland has to be tight with their cap with how much Watson, Garrett, Ward and Cooper take up (that's 111 mill between 4 players per year). That's 11 mil free for them.

Seems like the Rodgers decision is the first domino needing to fall.

I hope this happens sooner than later. Bozeman could be a NC treasure in the making. He's seems like a gentleman goofball with a heart of gold but an absolute madman on the field. Let's get it done Fit. The only absolute wish this FA period.

I will say in thinking about this, it made me remember we have Shenault here (2020 2nd rounder) who did flash at times. Do wonder how the new staff will view him in respect to the future. Still 2 years left on his rookie deal.

One of those 2nds is gone for sure. It's why I gave ranges.

He got injured last year but still had 10 games (750 yards), that was coming off a previous 5 in a row full seasons averaging 1100 and 6 tds. Not bad. Early career was a bit more injury buggy.

The fun nonsensical would hit if you posted ridiculous offense. Why are people turretsing defense? This thread is pretty simple. Edmunds, Bates, David, lol…it’s not that complicated you dinguses.

I honestly don't pay attention to cap anymore after what teams have done the past 3ish years. The game has changed. Cap shmap, it is what it is. If we want a FA and they like our fit, we'll figure it out.

More a thing to just get the juices flowing haha. Mix of an inclination, personal preference, and having the liberty to be a bit unrealistic with the thread
