https://www.draftsharks.com/fantasy/injury-history/parris-campbell/10209 His injury history--nothing that major--sprains and some ankle issues--one concussion---so you could argue that he had a run of bad luck.

Dang--Carolinas medical center wants to sit in on the contract negotiations.

This gives them control, regardless. We are getting a really good QB, regardless. I can make an argument for either, although, based on what I know and have seen, I prefer Stroud. These contracts are for 3 years--I get the feeling that they want stability around this new QB--and they plan on starting him. Only Dalton has a 2 year deal

No--I was only kidding--hiding the fact that I have been on here all week--like I have no life, wife, or strife.

At this point, we could. It may be worth it.

I agree, and we may not get a really good WR there--I think we are going to sign a WR or two today/tomorrow.

Did you type this during the 90 seconds you have to wait before the fries are ready? Just kidding. I have been able to work all week from home, so the NFL network is on in my home office and I am spending about 30 minutes on work every three hours. This is so addictive.

I figured this three year deal is because he'd be a good #2 and they wanted to backload some salary. I think we grab another TE in the draft depending on what we do at WR today/tomorrow.

Hope you are right--

There will be a good one at the end of the third--

This is dumb because Cincinnati is also the Queen CIty.

I am guessing $22m/3 years

Did we release Thomas (or are you guessing?). Ever get deja vu?

His ego needs to be monitored by NASA.

As I look at the WRs in the draft that should be there at #39, I hope one falls to us. However, there seems to be a shortage of WRs this year--so if one does not fall, we will be in bad shape if we don't grab a free agent or 2. I thoroughly think that Marshall is going to prosper outside the shadows of Moore and Chosen in year 3, and I fully think Shenault was not used well last year. If we can add Thielen, I have no problems with going after JuJu or a Chark or even Landry. Then in the draft, grab a WR again, but with low expectations.

Of course, Frank, you could argue that a 6' 5", 250 lb Panther QB had a shortened career because of his size--he took on everyone. I dunno. I am trying to get my head right should Bryce get called out in KC first.

I am starting to doubt that Stroud is the pick (that it has been decided)--but I am confident that it is down to Stroud and Young. I could support either, but I do not want to miss out on the opportunity.

The window will be open starting next year (IMO) and will stay open depending on the QB development. Best case scenario? We win the South (possible) this year. New Orleans may have the best QB in 2023, but the rest of their roster is over the hill, imo. Atlanta is the team that might surprise, but with Heinicke and Ridder? Tampa Bay is now hungover from blowing their entire paycheck on the 2021 party. We need a few WRs and for a few WRs to step up--I expect them too. I think we will compete for the NFC S title in 2023, start a dynasty (QB pending) in 2024. I think people make mistakes when they confuse outcomes with goals. Goals should be to improve at every position, to improve fundamentals, and to control what you can control. Outcomes are the side effects for reaching your goals. The Super Bowl is a side effect, not a goal.

I like Young, but dang--imagine Donte Jackson at QB--same size. Same durability?

Tepper should love running the franchise, not evaluating talent--(see Jones, Jerry).

Damn. I wish I could get an idea that has occurred to many others and start a thread about it. Hypothicals make the bestest threads. And we should wear all black helmets. And Rhule was bad.

Hurst is an all around TE, a good blocker in run and pass protection. Always going to be around the 350-500 yards per season. Personally, I am not that impressed with him. Not worth $9m per, in my opinion.

He is a So Carolina boy, so it is possible. In the event it is true, I got this from an article about an estimate that it would take the Bengals to keep him. On Brad Spielberger's list of the top 100 free agents this season, Hurst came in at No. 74 and is projected to earn a three-year deal worth $28.5 million with an annual salary of $9.5 million. He made about $3.5 last year.

It might have been 2-14. I was going from memory. Don't have time to get sidetracked by something that doesnt matter- I did mention DWill's contract renewal, so you can do the math. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/781944
