What if Darnold started supporting bringing in Wide Receivers? "nothing agianst you Robby, but we need people who can catch...." I want Darnold gone too, but as long as he is QB1, Robby needs to support him and shut his pie hole.

yeah, that or take Darnold in an even swap--no picks. I'd put him on a gag order and send him to some leadership academy for kids with Napoleonic complexes.

So you don't want Baker Mayfield (who is decent when healthy--just a pain in the ass) but you want Colin Kaepernik who was at best decent during his prime. Move over Fitterer. The bear hunter wants your job.

It is time they had a talk with Anderson.

In fairness, I did not like Cam because I thought he was great athlete playing QB and did not come from a system where he had more than 1 read (like many QBs). I did not think he was accurate, and I thought that his playing style would lead to a short career. While he was amazing, I prefer an amazing QB that makes it look easy--not amazing. I changed my opinion of him--but I was frustrated that he never developed the mechanics to be an accurate passer--and that he processed a bit slow, causing him to stay in the pocket too long and run too much. So we never had back to back winning seasons, Cam got banged up and out by age 32. He was great in the mid 2010s, but the banging took its toll. So much of what I thought was wrong, and much was right. I think I can get behind Pickett, but his limitations scare me as well.

I did not want Pickett unless we traded back until I saw this. you have to take him at #6 or you take the LT and sign a QB Jimmy G or (gasp) Baker. HOWEVER!!!!!: We have someone many think can play LT for the Panthers, and Brady C is a very good athlete who is about 25 or so. I think he is ready now if her ever will be--- Fitterer wants a rookie QB to build around. If we think Pickett can make plays in this offense, yes, you take him at #6. I favored Willis with reservation. Now I do not want him.

BUT I honestly do not see Baker as the answer, so my scenario is unlikely

"Any QB is only as good as the people around him." (Bill Polian on Kenny Pickett)

I mentioned more than the playoffs--I mentioned not opening up his baggage. Comfortable is not the right word, but if he plays well and there is no locker room garbage, you have to consider it.

Beane is an acquaintance of mine--played QB at South Stanly High School (a student of a good friend of mine) and went to UNC W. For a few years, we were getting our cars inspected at the same time and talked for a few minutes when he was with the Panthers (early on). In fact, I used to bump into Mike Turgovac (sp?) around town as well. But Brandon never seemed that smart--just average. Of course, he is no Marty Hurney. (By the way--Beane liked Marty Hurney and the team president--forgot his name).

If he opens his baggage here or does not lead this team to the playoffs, we are drafting our QB in 2023 and letting Baker walk.

Here is what I offer Cleveland: An escape from the awkward Trade Sam Darnold for Baker Mayfield. Cleveland gets: A serviceable backup (although they already have Brisett, this is a 1-year situation to get rid of a headache, add a player at no cost. Carolina gets: A QB on a one-year prove it deal.

We need to get Robby in the front office. Brainpower=Super Bowls.

I am certain about this: Nothing is certain. It is not certain who we will pick, if that pick sucks or goes to Canton. Just gotta hope for the best. NFL Network did a piece on "Twitter Rage" where they looked back at the tweets from the 2018 draft, for example. Many People in Buffalo were outraged when the Bills selected the "wrong Josh" (they wanted Rosen). So for those of you pretending to know who will be good and who will bust---I have this for you: You could be wrong. There. I said it.

He was a guard though.

I think we will move back

He spotted a bear

Jimmy G had just about a perfect situation for a QB---you see his best.

Funny, but this is only news because we make it newsworthy. It is just some asshat running his mouth for clicks and pats on the head. Nothing to see here.

You know, the players' union needs to soon realize that the majority of the new money is going to one position.

Jones was talking about trading up, however.

the talent really drops off in the first round around 11-14. It would take the second and third to swap firsts--but 24 is after some QB needy teams (Pittsburgh, New Orleans) draft. Prolly not happening.

This could mean that Rhule is not happy about drafting a rookie QB and sees the writing on the wall.

Did the restaurant name end in "Cheese"?

I hope Roy and and another DT step up; often year 3 is a charm. I think we are better at LB than last year, and I think our secondary (with Horn and X) will be upgraded. I am not ready to call Henderson (CB) a bust, but Hartsfield at Nickel with Horn and Jackson is not bad. We need a pass rusher, but do not forget, YGM is entering year 3---CJ and Hardy were head scratches until year three. Give Haynes some reps....we really could be good. I think too often people pull the bread out of the oven too soon and think the bread sucks. Maturation (Henderson, YGM, Roy) is going to be important.
