We would have to use our future 1st round picks not the Rams. We could not trade those in this year's draft unless the rules have changed. But we would have the Rams picks for ourselves or possibly trade them in the draft of the year we received them for. If that makes sense?

Me either. The best qb in this class may not break 5'9" and you will need to be in the number 1 spot if you want him. Even then he's not the best player in the draft.

I've been in favor of starting a rookie all along. If he flops you pick another next season. But my job is not on the line as a fan. It's a little complicated when you have to put your job on the line. The owner may not agree with my approach.

You will have to ask Tepper that question. His contract is for 3 years so I would say he at least gets 2 to turn it around. My guess? This season will set the floor that he will be judged on. From there I would say he better be trending upward in season 2 to even sniff year 3.

This will most likely happen. We need someone familiar with Reich's system.

Exactly! WGAF?!

My life has slowly evolved into that. I've become a cantankerous old fart that just loves to piss people off.

This is what scenario I was thinking that could happen. In essence Carr would be insurance in the event the rookie you draft just doesn't have it to be the guy. Now it's not something I would consider as a first choice. It would be a plan C consideration to kick around.

Fitterer told me that you pissed him off so he's not taking any qbs this year. If you piss him off even more he's taking a kicker at 9. You better chill.

They are not taking a qb this year. Maybe next year. Good luck.

The only way Carr comes here is if he knows and accepts that his replacement is incoming this season or the next. If he wants to be the guy for years then it's not happening here. You can bet on that.

Not saying it impacts nfl players. Just pointing out that not everyone looks at it that way.

It's just to piss you off.

If that's what he wants then the Panthers are out. They might, might consider 3 years with incentives baked in. If he's looking for more than that I doubt we are seriously interested.

Big picture? I don't think it changes the big picture plans at all. It would just give them a little breathing room to get the rookie pick right.

It's hard to get a guage on what Fitterer has planned for the position. I hesitate to think that Carr really changes anything they have/had planned but ya never know. He he's definitely been better than anyone we've had since Cam. If it happens I think the contract he's given will tell us a lot about how long they think they will need for these rookies I suppose.

I'm getting the feeling that this may be how it shakes out in the end.

Trading up without knowing your guy is certain to be there is not realistic. If you get stuck there after giving up a ton of picks without getting your guy will get everyone fired.

I agree the FA is going to effect this draft when it comes to QB. Where Rpsges goes will cause projection adjustments league wide. Carr may not depending where he goes in the nfcs, if that is where he goes. If the Ravens flip LJ for a butt load of picks look for them to work out a trade with the Bears if they can. If they do flip him I hope it's not to us.

Still don't like it. Giving more than one top 10 pick for any of these qb's is too rich for my taste. None are worth more than that to risk giving up for.

It seems everything hinges on what the Bears do with that 1st pick. Huston and the Colts will go qb with their picks no doubt. If the bears do trade it then everything is turned upside down.

Well they really cannot go into the season banking on Corral. They will never do that. There will be another rookie added and a vet, maybe 2 going into camp. Mark my words.

I think trading back would be a last resort. And then only if we get a great deal. My initial prediction is the stay at 9 for the time being. I may change that by the time the draft rolls around.

If I could move I would move to a state that doesn't have income taxes. Yes, they make it up in other ways, but depending on your income level it does matter. For poor folks like me it's debatable whether it will make a difference but its worth looking into if you are considering retirement, like me.
