The Tua helmet? I mean, are they basically just saying the quiet part out loud here? We're gonna protect our high dollar QBs, the rest of y'all go out there and take your brain damage.

Sometimes sticking with your draft board means pursuing a trade. If you don't particularly like the value of the prospects available and the phone is ringing you might as well have a listen.

One of these days probably sooner rather than later one of us mods is gonna just go on a wholesale large on the QB prospect fanboy shitposters.

With their record of awful decisions I struggle to predict anything they might do.

I think they're making a bad bet on Ridder but their defense should be drastically improved. I suppose it's also possible that they just want the rest of the league to be convinced that they're committed to moving forward with Ridder when in reality QB is very much on the board for them at #8 and they don't want someone to leapfrog them.

Richardson really didn't fit the league anymore. League owners have gone from being ridiculously wealthy people to being ridiculously wealthy people even in comparison to ridiculously wealthy people. We're talking about some of the very wealthiest people on the planet.

I find all the media piling on hard now to be pure cowardice. Most of these folks sure did have kid gloves on when he was the entrenched owner.

JR knew they had the votes to force him out. Makes me believe that somehow they didn't for Snyder.

Pretty much.

I think we're pretty well setup to just focus on BPA after taking our QB.

Snyder was terrible and honestly the NFL should be embarrassed they didn't publicly force him out like they did to JR.

If the Teppers don't let the football people make this call the only way they're going to be able to hire people going forward if this flops is to just throw money. No one with other good options is gonna want the jobs.

Too bad Hurney sucked at literally everything else... and too many of his 1st round hits were at the lowest value positions.

And I think Shanny is feeling a little pressure that he might be a modern day Gruden (minus the ring). A guy hired to be an offensive guru who has found himself carried by an elite defense.

I think it's highly likely he was a flash on the pan and once NFL DCs have an off-season to prepare to face him... oh wee mayne.

It's only a disaster if Purdy doesn't work out. Yeah, I think it's gonna be a disaster.

These guys have a poo ton of experience. Let them pick. If they're wrong, fire them. Not like we haven't suffered through plenty of suck before. If this whole thing flops though, my confidence in Tepper has officially hit absolute zero.

Like you said, it's their jobs not mine. If this dude busts they're all gonna get fired and they know it. As such, let them pick the guy they want. If you don't trust them to identify the guy then A) you shouldn't have let them make the trade and B) you shouldn't have hired them to begin with.

I hope we do see someone as being "that guy". The guy we can't afford to gamble on missing out on. If that's Young, that's fine by me. Let's go!

The only think I can conclude is that working for Tepper fuging sucks because it sure is a revolving door.

It's like there's a new rumor every hour on the hour.

No clue. That's the big question marks on all the QBs coming out of the dominant blue chip programs. What will they look like when their team isn't head and shoulders better than their competition nearly every week? And yeah, I know Bama didn't have their usual talent but let's be honest? How many better rosters were there in college football? Honestly probably fewer than 5.

There are a small handful of Bryce "haters" and another handful (myself being the ringleader) who just enjoy poo posting jokes about his size to rile up the fanboys. The vast majority of us just want a stud of a QB at #1. There really aren't many here who seem steadfastly dug in on one particular prospect or staunchly opposed to any particular prospect. Folks blinded by love or hate tend to just see what they want to perceive.

I just want us to draft the guy the consensus within the organization seems as the best QB prospect. Ultimately, it's their jobs on the line. They're all getting fired in a couple of years if this dude busts and we're right back here again.

I guess you missed all the talk awhile back about him being notorious for sticking other folks with the dinner bill.
