Because Kyler thinks he's so smart he should be the HC, OC and the QB as well. The Colts and Arizona jobs are the worst possible jobs in the nfl. But I hear the money is good at least.

Maybe its not for LJ? Just saying.

I will have to see them go a FA route before I believe it.

You've got to wait until the draft my friend.

Because of Tepper I'm sure. We've collected qbs since Tepper bought the team. That's lazy work.

That was nicely done. Good find.

I would not be thrilled at the thought of going with another cast-off again. But what can I do about? It is what it is.

Well I'm going on the assumption that the "target" might be out of reach and plan B has become the realistic target. They will say it was their Plan A from the beginning but I'm not buying it.

That's a good hire for the Ravens.

Well I was one that thought we should have hired Reich before he went to the Colts. So of course I'm OK with it. He was a perfect fit then and I will maintain he is a perfect fit now. Will he be the answer at HC for years to come? I do not know. I think he has the best resume of the folks we've interviewed save maybe, maybe Caldwell. So yeah, I'm on board until he proves my faith unjustified.

It is. I'm sure Fitterer and Morgan are beating the bushes to come up with a solid list for Frank to choose from as well.

All true. But right now I cannot rule that out. With Tepper I would not rule out anything.

I'm just spitballing here. The reason I said Levis is twofold. 1.) The rumor that Tepper already was looking at him before this past season played out and.. 2.) They know that trading up for Stroud is not likely. So I'm going with the realistic options for now. A lot of things will happen before the draft gets here so I reserve the right to change my prognostication at a later date.

I like the fact they are training their replacement. If they get signed to another team for a promotion their replacement is already on staff and can keep rolling. I'm think Stanley is slated to be Frank's replacement should he retire or get fired?

That's the target. So if you want to try to guess who they will target I would suggest you start with those parameters.

I'm hoping that was the case. But until proven otherwise he has to own his part in all these stupid contracts handed out.

They will not settle for less unless they absolutely have to for the time being. The starter will have to satisfy all those criteria to stay the starting qb for the Panthers.

My early guess is that they target Levis in round 1 after signing someone like Carr, if they cannot get a trade partner or the cost is too rich its onto Plan B. Plan B will look something trading back into the bottom 3rd of round 1 and take a guy like Hooker or someone in that tier. Plan C is to just go with Carr (insert vet here) and Corral this season and get someone to compete with Corral for the starting role before Carr (vet qb) is cut loose. Or none of the above.

That's how you right a wrong. Now all they need is a room full of QBs to sift through.

The Bears will get a hall for that pick and we cannot even entertain trading for that pick. Had we say, traded someone for some 1st round picks we could be in the driver's seat. But muh defense needs a star. I got news for them, they still don't have a star.

The compensation was Fitterer.

To move up you first have to have a trade partner. What do you do if you cannot get someone to trade with you? You cannot go into the draft counting on trading up. I certainly hope they have a better plan than "we are trading up". There better be a plan B and C in place before the drfat starts. I'm telling you this trade up idea is a pipedream.

I'm sure they will. It still doesn't give me the warm fuzzy feeling that Fitterer has final say on the 53. After the Darnold deal I guess I'm a little gun shy. Especially with Carr out there.

I keep going back to the statement from Reich where he said that Fitterer sets the 53 players and he decides who starts. That means Fitterer is controlling the draft and FA so he is picking the qb. That worries me.
