Donald LaFell

It’s going to get a lot worse in the lead up to the draft. He has the highest ceiling. People will have him as #1 in some mocks no doubt. I wouldn’t object to him at 9 but truthfully I’m just not feeling the QBs this draft. Stroud isn’t bad but I still don’t want to trade up.

It’s a reference from forever ago like 2009-2010 after Jake fell off a cliff. IIRC the topic was barely coherent lol.

Also Cam is(hopefully) pretty wealthy and has like 600 kids so I can imagine he’s focused on that plus his private ventures.

Even in his rookie season I think he had some rest days for soreness. I think it was just fate, his throwing motion plus some of the hard falls/hits he took on it. Genetics, who knows. He never truly improved his lower body mechanics because he didn’t have to. I wonder if his shoulder have held up longer if he threw more the way pundits said he should.

Yeah none of these QBs feel like a sure thing so I’d rather try out Richardson.

Yeah I’m surprised how salty people are about it. I felt like when we signed him we always knew it was going to be a 1yr rental.

I guess the team just doesn’t really feel like it’s at the beginning of a rookie QB window for me. There are all kinds of ways to succeed and if Reich is a good coach it’ll work out regardless. I guess I’m just having a hard time thinking about when trading up into the top 5 of the draft has worked out at all. If the cost is 1-2 future first rounders I think that really hamstrings a team.

It’s a huge gamble to trade up this year but whatever happens happens.

All of it is common sense, trying to play field position ball with Tom Brady without your best corner is what sealed it. Not even sure if Rivera/Fox would have been that conservative.

The drum is like a great bite of lean meat and then working my way around that knobbily stuff. the flats just seem to all be edible whether it’s skin or cartilage or meat. When it’s cooked just right you can get all the bones out and it’s satisfying like perfectly shelling a crab leg.

Yeah 2 years ago I was able to draft Horn and Surtain back to back with all the trades I was doing. Needs stricter logic.

Honestly doesn’t seem like a good time to be aggressive in FA/draft with a new coach but who knows.

He’s local too, im sure that helps

I’d rather see if they can get Richardson at 9 or later in the draft. At least with Richardson the ceiling is higher.

Cautiously optimistic but I feel like the roster and cap isn’t quite in a good spot to be competitive right away. Without a QB it’s hard to calculate that SB window.

Russell Wilson too. A big group of things that painfully beat us in all kinds of fashions.

I don’t really mind the rigged accusations because the ref quality is unacceptable at this point is just feels naive to not be skeptical. I think the refs and the NFL as a whole has a directive to put their finger on the scales when they can.

I definitely want an all star DC

Nothing against Fields but it’s not a sure thing so why bother?

100%, you can’t put a cherry on top of a sundae that doesn’t exist. it pretty much just all comes down to getting a QB and protecting that QB. If you don’t have that no one is going to carry the team for you.

Saying “Darnold to Dan Arnold” was priceless, how could we break that up?

If Fitterer pays Burns like an elite 3 down DE then I think that shows very poor judgement. If he pays Burns that money but then doesn’t heavily invest in the D-line to free him up then he should be fired.

I don’t mean this as a knock on CMC but who knows how long he’ll be effective for.

I’d much rather draft for potential since it’s a gamble regardless. I’d be fine with AR at 9. It’d be a coup if they traded down too.

Wilks as AHC for Ron would be hilarious since they are bad at the same stuff. I think Wilks is better at clock mgmt possibly.
