San Antonio was heavily involved with the Saints pre-Katrina. Jags were rumored to be studying a move to London. Other possibilities are Orlando, Memphis, Salt Lake City, Omaha, Portland, etc. Edit: St. Louis might want a team again. Edit2: Forgot about Toronto.

Cardinals recovered quickly from drafting Rosen.

My concern about Eberflus is his Colts have blown 3 double-digit leads this season. All those losses came against quality opponents, but the inability to put teams away is a trait his defense lacks.

Okay. The way I read your post, I thought you were saying we should draft a rookie QB, and I'm of the opinion that going with a vet, be it Sam or Cam, and drafting OL would be better.

It doesn't look like there are any great prospects for rookie QBs in this upcoming draft. Keeping Cam lets you put your draft picks into the OL instead of gambling on a rookie QB. Then you can look to draft the rookie QB in 2023.

We will inexplicably beat Arizona for one of our wins.

I don't have a strong opinion on Huntley, but I'm of the opinion we should be acquiring future assets (draft picks, cap space), rather than giving up those assets to trade for yet another QB.

Every single head coaching candidate will have things you can point to as issues. I just hope we need to evaluate the pros and cons of each of them because it means Rhule is gone.

Fitterer said much the same thing when he was hired. The problem is you've got Matt Rhule evaluating which quarterbacks Scott should pick...

Defenestrate Matt Rhule! I can't tell you how long I've waited to use that word on a sentence.

When people brought up letting go of Rivera, one of the counter-arguments as "well, we could do worse." I don't see people making that particular argument for Rhule.

Fournette is out as well. It'll be Jones.

I think coupled with the "move some furniture" comment from last week, Cam absolutely knows but also knows it would just create a bigger circus to deal with if he did say anything.

You tend to remember the calls that went against you way more than the ones that did. The refs are human and are going to make mistakes. It's likely that over the course of a season the good calls and bad sort of even out.

I would say that's plausible. It's also at least plausible that Rhule's level of power and roster control might have influenced someone like Adam Peters (who I was high on) to withdraw from consideration and return to SF.

We're playing the NFC West and AFC North. That will provide a much more difficult schedule than this year.

If Rhule feels PJ is the better option, Rhule should be starting him. If Tepper is telling his head coach who the starting quarterback should be, then that says he doesn't trust his head coach to make the right decision. That would indicate he's got the wrong head coach.

I would point out that those rookies play for Kansas City, a team with a plethora of NFL level coaching experience drawing up NFL plays and training players from college to be good NFL players. We have Matt Rhule and the Baylor "Bad News" Bears coaching staff.

There's too many questions around this QB class and the draft is supposed to be deep at OL. Trade back in the 1st, grab multiple OL and some other pieces. Then we have a better overall foundation in place for a rookie QB in 23. I hate basically giving up on 2022, but since we didn't do it right in 2020, we have to do it right in 2022.

That's what is do odd because apparently Rhule wanted to be a run first team. Those types of teams can win but they don't often have huge leads.

We're going to have to draft a guy. I'd truly commit to the rebuild this off-season, and sell off assets for 2023 draft picks, then draft OL. We'll win maybe four games in 2022, and then draft a QB in the 1st in the 23 draft.
