To me the interesting thing is what do we do about the offensive scheme. The article said it would be an open comp. So if thats the case then its not going to be tailored to what Sam can do best. So does that actually give us the best chance of success?? Doesn't seem like it

Wow thats a lot of players drafted! But all those guys would make a difference.

Im excited. I like that its a low downside high upside move.

Well if Sam becomes a top 10 QB in the league then Brady will be gone next year.

would be a boring draft but exactly what we need.

I like the idea of a trade back to acquire pick for next year.. the only issue with that is there are a lot of teams with a multiple 1st rounders next year.. so even if we get a 2022 1st with a trade down we likely wont have enough to move up for a top QB.. unless we naturally get there. But I think we need this to be a boring OL heavy draft. We need that before we look for a QB. We ride or die with Teddy this season.

I could see NE swing big..

innocent or guilty I think this is exactly how it ends.. with a big pay cheque.

Im not in the 'we should lose games' camp at all. I think even if the FO wants that to happen there is a team full of players fighting for bonus money and roster positions to make that happen. I would fall into the 'winning culture' group people like to bitch about.

Im feel pretty blue about our prospects.. That Miami trade screwed us in a few ways. We know that by the Atlanta pick 3 QB's will be gone. To Atlanta is really in control of the draft now and given their restructure of Ryan I could see them trading down as someone tries to move up for a QB. So assuming that happens the top 4 QB's are gone. Next year Phil will have 3 1st round picks and be in a much better position to move us to get a QB that we will unless we lose out. Trading up to get a QB seems like a bad idea because we have a bad team at right now. (our O Line is terrible) so giving up that much capital for the 4th or 5th best guy seems like a bad move. I think we need to trade down, get more capital and just see how the team plays this year...

IMO... Gunslinger = "meh throw it up and hope for the best!" Game Manager = plays within the structure of the offense" Isnt the entire point of football to with within structure?

I think that if we draft a QB you start them day 1.. worst case you let them sit till week 4. They need actual game reps and the rookie contracts makes it far to advantageous to get them on the field early rather than waiting.

Drafting Luke when we still had Beason. If I remember correctly that was a very unpopular move at the time.

hard to top this.

FFS someone please move this thread

Honestly I dont think you retire that number.. that said I also dont think you retire Luke's.

wow.. this tread should probably be moved to the Tinderbox at this point...

Seems like the kind of neighbor everyone would want...

Yeah Darnold is in a tough position for getting moved. I could get behind him if we think we are totally out of the QB drafting market. But I dont think there is a huge improvement from him and Teddy Honestly I think year 2 Teddy would be better than year 1 Darnold + a pick.

Well fug it.. draft Pitts

This was an amazing comment.

This is clearly a shitty mock but man I would be pumped if it fell this way... https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2021-nfl-mock-draft-qb-justin-fields-lands-with-the-jets-at-no-2-falcons-select-florida-te-kyle-pitts-at-no-4

I like him, I would like to see him back with a real QB..

He's probably asking WHO is throwing him the ball more than anything.

good point.
