Here's my issue with Lamar.  They guy wants a ton of money.  Most of these QBs that demand so much money end up hurting the team.  They have so much money tied up in one player that you end up skimping on other positions.

I love Lamar but what he wants in a contract is too rich for me.  

That is exactly why the Ravens are willing to trade him.  Those that are in favor of trading for him just do not understand the implications of doing so. Not to mention that big red flag that is the fact the Ravens are willing to do so.

If were Steichen I would tell Isray thanks but no thanks.

Why don’t you think Sam can be our franchise QB?

Well for one he's not under contract with us. And 3rd his best shot is a decent backup somewhere. 

I think we would have to sign Sammy first.  McCown is here to help develop any and all qbs on our roster.

OC in KC hasn't gotten him a HC job yet. Prove his ability in Carolina and he is immediately a front runner for several HC jobs. Just a thought

Agreed, IF Evero was hired as a HC.  Capers could move to DC or he could as you say stay as an assistant.    If Capers were to be promoted to DC the chances of him jumping to a HC position is highly unlikely.  He could end up as our DC for several years and continue to develop his tree. 

He doesn't want to be a DC at this stage in his career. He's just an advisor at this point.  He just helps identify talent for the defensive staff and help teach them. 

I would not be so sure CJ is the target. The qb coach doesn't get to call the pick you know. Like LG said there's a long way to go and a lot of things will happen between now and draft time.

But you know you are getting a good QB with Rodgers/Jackson, whereas there's a chance Stroud/Young can bust...that would be the tradeoff in terms of similar costs

I have been on the Stroud train for a while, and I hope that's the move, but it would be unsurprising to see the Panthers jumping at Lamar (and Rodgers if he wants to come here) because they can win the division immediately if they make that move...the other 3 teams are bad

Pass for me. Would rather draft a rookie and not give up the future to do so.

But I have no control over what the team does. All I can do is guage my hopes on the future by what they do to improve along the way. They have a lot to improve on.

#3 would be ideal. I wouldn't put it past the Colts to try to move up to 1 or 2 though. 

Let them. Some really good players are going to drop if teams get antsy over these qb's.

Just trade up to 1 and take Stroud

My early money is on them trying to trade up ahead of the Colts.

if Brian Johnson doesn't become an option for us, I could see Duce staley as run game coordinator and Jim bob cooter as pass game coordinator while reich calls the plays

This^^^. While we all are interested in who the new OC will be there are contingencies in place until the right guy is found.

Unpopular opinion

Carolina will weigh the cost of trading up, but also Aaron Rodgers or Lamar Jackson trades, and I think there is a great chance they pick Rodgers or Jackson trade if it is a similar cost

I would agree if it were only the draft picks involved.  But with Rodhers and Jackson there's also a huge guaranteed contract added on top of the picks. All is not equal.

I’m curious if this means Reich already has his OC? I’d think he’d get their input when making offensive hires.

My guess is he thinks if he can't get a guy to train this year he will call plays himself.  That's why he's in no rush to fill the OC position.  He has the luxury of being able to wait on a guy he really wants because he can always call plays himself if the guy isn't available.

Give me Bill Bob Thornton from the Jags we asked to interview him right 

Wrong Billy Bob. 

Now this I didn't see coming.  This staff is looking like a playoff caliber staff in the making.  I'm feeling more confident that we will finally break that no back to back winning seasons curse at the very least. I'm reserving my thoughts on our playoff chances after I see what they give up for a qb this offseason. 

I'm not sure how to feel about this optimism I'm starting to get about this team.  I sure hope they get the qb right in this draft.  There's no hiding the fact they are taking one.

I knew William Johnson. At one point he was the durham chapter president. My father raced cars and was known locally, many would ask him to make parts and/or help on a car(cause he did great, honest, correct work). One weekend he was in the process of helping to work out an steering problem, wrencher that he was, offen helped everyone. I went with him. As they were working out the problems, William walked in and he was madder than hell. Soon after one of the shop guys ask why?

William was pissed that he just took whores form fayetteville the week before and needed to traded with the Ohio group this week(didnt want to drive so sudden). He owned 3 massage parlors and would rotate the girls between durham, faytteville, and camp lejeune. But sooner or later he needed to trade the part of the group with people form Ohio, to freshen up the flowers.... Id see him in town and like I said before passed by his club on the way to see a friend. If off with my father, he would stop and chat with us.

He also had two brothers. One was found with carbon monoxide poisoning along with his girl friend in a mustang dead. Did i mention the mustang was a convertible and on the side of a road...... The other came out of prison and his story(told by a fellow car wrencher) goes " they didn't get all the money" and pop the truck on his Thunderbird showing 6 inches of money. 

Only time William stopped by my fathers print shop was to stop a sell. You see my father was in the process of buying a building and piece of land. The guy(call him ben) selling had other plans. Ben used the hells angles as body guards and did what he wanted. The early process was to give ben 5,000 as a down payment and ben would ignore everything after. The money was his and he didnt even know you. My father called around asking questions about the ben and William heard about it. He told my father about this, Ben was also in the massage business too...  As a personally favor William didnt allow the sale to get started and save my father the time and effort with dealing with Ben. Luckily no money had exchanged.

Reason why William was the ex-president, cause in his release form being in prison was he had to step down. Last I seen William he asked me would I like to work private security for their yearly hells angel island party. I replied "No thanks william, Im busy that week". While you had a good experience with one of them, Im still at the original point, much rather have holly-than-me as neighbor than William Johnson. If youre still around that neighbor, feel free to ask about William Johnson. 

My deacon story involves fires, pianos, and church politics.  Somewhat close to my hells angles dealings. But I mainly knew his son. 

I forgot to add the hells angles waiting for the pagans on I-85 70 crossing with machine guns and murdered 3 of them. Rather be handed a bible than a spent bullet cartridges.  

Yeah you were too close to the money.  Don't get involved with the money.  You also do talk about who you know or what you see.  

Matt Corral is the new Sam Darnold.  God help the next rookie if he doesn't look like a HOF qb this preseason.
