It's cut and dry. 24 votes can force him to sell, period.

He must know the owners have the votes to force his hand, like JR previously.

I'm saying that using a metric poo ton of our 1st round picks and cap space on off the ball LBers and RBs has been a mistake.

We have the best inside LB history in the league during our time in the league yet we have a losing record. IMO, a big part of that losing record has been over-investing in the wrong positions. Mainly off the ball LBs and RBs.

I get that Fields hasn't exactly set the league ablaze but comparing him to Haskins? I mean, Haskins was basically Jamarcus Russell 2.0. Meanwhile, Trevor Lawrence hasn't been any better than Fields. Nor has Zach Wilson. Trey Lance has been the worst of the bunch.

I didn't see the game but holy fug Will Levis' stat line against Tennessee was brutal. 16/27 for 98 yards, 0 TDs, and 3 INTs.

It's kinda like the draft pick value chart though. It's just a general guideline. It doesn't necessarily mean you can trade guys worth a 3rd rounder for a 1st rounder two years down the road. Basically just standard accounting slights of hand.

Used to work in Madden until they fixed that bug.

Does perception matter? I argue no. Then again, I'm of the firm opinion that the entire accounting industry is basically just a shell game of book cooking anyway so there's that too.

Don't hate the player, hate the game. If you were in that seat you'd be thinking self preservation too.

It's not "gaining" anything. The value of the pick is devalued because the return is not immediate and there's the uncertainty of where the pick will fall within the round. That doesn't mean that it gains real value like a bond maturing.

No he doesn't but very few in the history of the NFL do. He's #5 on the NFL's all-time sack leaders list for a reason.

And a great way to end up banned for continuing to drag Tinderbox topics out of the Tinderbox.

That's just how it works in the Not For Long league.

That's just not how grading assets in the NFL works. Not when one bad season can get your butt fired as a coach or GM Outside of a small handful of truly entrenched guys. And how are draft picks going to "appreciate"? We aren't talking about stocks or bonds here. Scott Fitterer isn't trading one of if not his absolute best roster asset for picks he might never get to make. Nor should he.

I guarantee you the guys with size concerns (like CMC) step onto that combine scale so tanked up with water they're about to both puke and piss themselves.

Are we pretending Wilks isn't a retread? If Tepper can't land a top candidate then I hate to say it but we're fuged. It basically means guys with other options don't wanna work for him.

You gotta make a call. He's the guy or he isn't. You can't get playing hot potato with head coaches year after year.

He has the rest of this season. Plenty of football left to play for him to show he can be the guy or possibly crash and burn. No need to make any decisions now.

Yeah, but if I'm the Eagles I'd rather have Quinn and part with a 4th vs. have Burns and part with two 1sts.

If you could wave a magic wand and make young 3" taller and 30 pounds heavier then he'd basically be a perfect prospect for the modern NFL. Unfortunately you can't I suspect the very legitimate size concerns will lead to his evaluations varying wildly from team to team.

To be fair, I should've said "were". I highly doubt they still are after reading for Robert Quinn.

No. Not "a team". The defending Super Bowl champs. The Eagles are also hard after him. This is what good organizations do. They use bad organizations basically like minor league feeder teams. The Seahawks overpaid for Adams because they had dreams of the Legion of Boom dancing in their heads. All I'm saying here is we shouldn't be trading elite talent at premium positions because we're drunk on draft picks. We have pure junk on the edges minus Burns. Who knows how much draft capital you'll have to "burn" through trying to fix that.

The Seahawks haven't been a very well ran organization for awhile now. Trading two firsts for an in the box safety is a lot different than reading two firsts for a young edge rusher to pair with Aaron Donald.
