It feel like we either trade the farm this year for a QB or we trade the farm next year for a QB. However I would assume that if we sign ANY bridge QB this year to draft a guy NEXT year we will have a worst draft position next year meaning it will cost more. To hell with it. Lets get #1 or #3 over all.

Fixed

Im pretty pumped. Loved DOS2 and this falls right in line with it. Now just need to figure out if I buy on PS5 or PC!

NFT's seems like a shell game of pretending something is important to try to sell for more than you paid for. It scares the crap out of me that people would put actual money on them..

This is why im very curious about what happens in Baltimore with Lamar. This is one of the smartest FO's in the NFL. So Im curious to see what they do. I think there is a blue print to draft mobile QB's run them into the dirt and rinse and repeat without having to pick up a 2nd contract. If they can get 2 1st rounders for Lamar then draft a player like Richardson....

Assuming Shaq is still on the team.. would he play ILB?

I forgot about him too. With a year under his belt he could really shine next year. He was one of my fav picks from last draft.

Im excited to have Burns back at a more natural position for him. I think he will EAT this coming season.

I dont understand why people are so shocked by these numbers. It's 'next man up' when it comes to QB contracts. If you are a top 15 to 20 starter in this league that you will almost always get a MASSIVE contract. This not new but people react like this every offseason.

Carr and a trade down actually makes a lot of sense.

Its a tough call. Carr only costs cap.. If we trade up for a QB then we are trading years of resources.

I think the biggest cheerleader to sign Carr is probably Coral. If we draft a QB then Corals career is virtually done as he will never get an opportunity. Carr allows him to be the developmental QB.

Those are fair concerns.

Question about the minority draft picks for coaches/FO staff.. If Evero is hired to be a HC next year do we receive a comp pick for him?

I think your completely right. I dont see us going to #1 but 100% we are moving up.

Just finished listening to the press conference and I think we got the right guy. - I'm excited to be out of the funk of Rhule and the inevitable firing and team uncertainty - I'm excited that the team has an owner that will make the changes that need to be made. - I'm excited that we have a GM that doesn't sit on his hands. - I'm excited we brought in a HC with a vision and actual super bowl experience. - I'm excited to see how our team will rally behind our new QB - I'm excited to see how elite our defence can be when supported by a functioning offence. - I'm excited to see how our 2nd and 3rd year players will grow into significant pillars on the team for years to come. Its a new era. We shed the stink of Rhule. Lets get excited. ALLOW yourself to get excited. LFG

probably true... but EVERYONE loved Jake..

Unpopular opinion.... 1. Most players on our roster that other teams would consider good are considered trash on this board. 2. There is a small handful of posters on this board that are miserable and ruin the general experience for most. 3. We have a team that is in a good position to plunk in a QB and try to content. We are close. LFG!!

I like Shaq. I hope we can find a way to restructure and keep him.

Finally another voice of reason.. Hard to find on these threads

I dont get why people are either all in on Wilks or all in on Reich.. Wilks did a good job given what he was given. Reich was not, not hired because he could no coach he was not hired because we need to fix the QB position and we need a guy that has experience doing that. Hiring Reich is not a knock on Wilks ability to coach, its just that it was not the fit we need at this time. Gosh some of you guys are like personally offended.

I think there is no chance we dont trade up now.

Dude.. Rhule was not a good coach but there is a massive difference between what he did and what Meyer did.. Take off you rose coloured glasses.

By the time we get to the draft we will know what CAR is going to do. If we go after a QB in FA then rookie QB is off the table. If we dont then you can be assured that we will go for one in the draft.

Look it is what it is right now but at the time it was a good trade. You had a elite CB prospect that played under the worst coach in NFL history and we traded nothing for him. Thats good trade any day of the week. Darnold, the price was higher than I thought but getting a 24 year old QB that was graded as the top QB in that class coming from another terrible team is also not a bad swing. The chances of landing a starter with a 2, 3, 4 and 6 is very slim. We traded those assets for potentially franchise players. Are they playing like that? Obviously not, but if you never swing you never hit.
