Pejorative Miscreant

A lot can happen between now and the draft. I would not say a word to the media to tip our hand. If anything they should lie through their teeth with lengthy word salads and contradict themselves.

Makes sense to me. Still comes out to me as a decent trade.

My first reaction would be that there is a mold infestation growing in the walls and water supply of BOA that causes mass psychosis with delusions and that said mold is about 1 mutation away from causing the zombie apocalypse. Then I would calmly try to rationalize the thought and arrive at the conclusion that there is obviously something I am missing that they see in Levis. But I still might stock up on potted meat and ammo just in case…

I get the feel this is/was more of a consensus on who the top pick is. Between Fitt/FO and Reich/staff with 400 years of experience. It’s gotta be Stroud. 49 days later: Tunes into draft and and Panthers select Long Snapper from Hoboken Tech.

Ready for draft day. Not sure how this plays out but I suspect this is how everybody in the FO walked out of BOA today.

Im thinking he needs to add a mullet before we seriously consider. Have to play hardball with these prima-donnas

I think their judgement on making this move is better than any staff this team has ever had. Conversely, I think they also have the ability to rationalize regarding “how much is too much” if it comes to that. I'm pretty confident with whose in charge which is good as I have no say in the matter.

isn’t that the whole point of a message board? Don’t want to derail the insults (not informative but highly entertaining)

So if I get this right, Person is saying someone might take AR higher because of an outstanding performance at the Combine. Or, maybe they wont take him higher... That is great journalism

Depending on how many picks we end up with, I would aim for 4 or 5 good ones and a long snapper.

There is a rational argument to not trade up but this ain’t it. If Fitt and Reich say that the cost was too much and they don’t have confidence in the guy(s) available so be it. But dumpster diving for a Franchise QB is probably not the best strategy.

I am at the mercy of the coaching staff and am willing to accept what they decide is right. Unlike previous years where Rhule was both the man in charge and the squeaky wheel, I am comfortable with the people in the room arriving at a rational decision. I want a QB, would ideally like to move up and will be disappointed if we don't move up to get one. But the question is, does the staff value a QB enough to move up to get him. If they evaluate and consider the guys kinda meh, then I think I will understand albeit with a hefty amount of frustration.

Trying to jump back into the firat makes sense to me. Devils always get n the details but I would like it.

Tepper not losin’ sleep over this

Agreed. Hopefully most level headed folks won’t judge a 20 year old on comments such as this. Rational minded people will wait till he’s in his 40s and running for public office and then hold it against him.

I missed the whole Pearl Jam/Nirvana craze when I was younger. Could not get into it. But I’ve since revisited and the music is incredible. It’s great to discover something new even if it’s old.

Not sure if this is bias or stereotyping but my experience is generally speaking, women have a better eye for detail than men. I actually think there is psychological data/evidence supporting this regarding female and male attentiveness but ironically, I can’t remember all the details. That said, glad the young lady is breaking thru and starting a good career.

Are the televising the live hand and arm measurements for the QBs and OTs respectively or will this be available on demand behind some sort of pay wall? must see TV

Agree with this. You may have two guys you are looking at and all other things being equal, the minority under-represented guy gets chosen. To suggest we are hiring less than qualified candidates so we can get a draft pick some time in the future is nonsense.

I dont think this is OP's intent but all tall AA QBs that are strong and fast should not automatically be compared to Cam Newton.

This was a SMH/WTF issue when it happened. If I am giving Fitt the benefit of the doubt I would think he was on the WTF side of it but Rhule held the keys to the kingdom so he kept giving Rhule the rope to hang himself. We will probably never no but I suspect why Fitt is still around is because he kept documentation on all of this crap so it landed on Rhule. The next season or two should give us some idea as it has been stated that he is in charge of putting the 53 together.

This 100 %. Adding OL depth in large rounds should be at least considered every draft.

There is a difference between being aggressive in pursuing your targeted qb and being psychotic and reckless with the future. Not sure if there is a can’t miss guy in this draft. That said, I don’t have confidence that the “diversity of thought” Reich speaks of will arrive at a conclusion where this deal would be rational. Maybe if there was one guy with all the power but thankfully that doesn’t seem to exist here anymore.

Based on our historical draft strategy related to OL his projection is over a decade too early. Our future first round tackle is still in 4th grade.
