What an answer!

Pay Kevin Colbert whatever it took to get him to come in and do a top to bottom evaluation of the football operation. Have him make suggestions on how to move forward and do whatever he says to do.

Way too many teams will have a need at QB for him to take that. He's going to sign somewhere for much more than the vet min.

JC ruled out.

The problem is FA comes well before the draft. You're going to have to make a decision on a vet (Carr, Darnold, whoever) before you know who you can get in the draft.

Just for reference: "Marcus Mariota signed a two year, $18.75 million contract with the Falcons. $6.75 million is guaranteed."

I wouldn't consider myself a Darnold "lover" or "hater". I'm more of a Darnold "wait-and-see"-er. That said, the other veteran options aren't anything to get excited about. Free Agency happens before the draft so you don't know what rookie you can get. I'd see if his side would be open to a contract similar to what Mariota got (2 year, $18M, $6.75M GTD).

David and White [Tampa's LBs] are among the best linebacker duos in the NFL. If we can run on them, we can run on anybody.

Voted with my head, believe with my heart.

If Wilks has success, wouldn't that be evidence that he is a good coach and that he did get a raw deal on Arizona? Wouldn't that make his lawsuit stronger?

I choose to go full homer mode and believe we will win both games. We might even surprise Dallas in the wildcard game.

In addition to the Brady angle, there is also Wilks' participation in the Flores lawsuit against the NFL. Successfully leading a team to the playoffs that had looked looked like the worst team in the league and traded away it's best player would seem to strengthen his lawsuit.

"Go Pack go!" chants audible on the TV feed in Miami. We aren't the only stadium where that kind of thing happens.

This will be the first season over 5 wins since 2018.

I would say this largely depends on who the opposing QB is. If you're trying to go score for score with a Mahomes, Burrow, Allen, you're going to need more plays where you need your QB to be a super star.

Even so, Fields looks miles ahead of Wilson. Jets probably think they picked the wrong guy.

NFL replies:

100% agree. I know it is the "ultimate goal" but there's one winner a year. That simply too small of a sample size to use it as the sole or even most important criteria in a discussion, but I feel like we do that in many times.

I love watching December snow games (from the warmth of my couch.)

If we don't retain Wilks to go after an offensive minded OC to be our new HC, please get someone from the Shanahan tree. That offense works.

Cool thing about streaming is you can watch your viewership numbers in real time.
