Sure why not? No way Philly offers or accepts it, but yeah.... I'd probably bite. Real problem is....who is making the pick and do you trust them?

Yeah, even Rule can see (at least I hope he can see) that he doesn't have the luxury of years to develop a QB. He's on borrowed time. Whoever he gets has to have an immediate impact.

Yow I didn't even think of that! Charge down the field getting into the RedZone only to get decimated. Pickett's charge fails again. To me that name sounds like an invitation to opposing secondaries. "Just pick it"

Further evidence its going to be a corner.

Anyone else think that 'Pickett' is a bad name for a QB? Would be great for a CB, though.

But Rule was a football guy....whatever that means. Sounds good tho. Good enough for a 7 year deal I guess.

So how long will it take for Tepper to be embarrassed enough to fire Rhule? And who, among this staff, would be the best temp replacement? Bye week.... whenever that is....seems as good a week as any. Probably will end up being after Thanksgiving though. As for the who..... I'd roll with Wilks. Failure in 'zona was hardly his fault and while I wanted Rhule fired in his second year...at least hecwas given a second year. I won't get into some of the reasons I think he was fired after one year. *cough* double standard*cough* Anyways...barring some miraculous transformation that turns us into 10+ win team making a deep run in the playoffs...that's what I'm thinking.

Brain trust responsible for it creates a lot of talking points.

So in 10 years we might have a competitive team again. Yay.

And then there the Hurney thing.

Not firing him.

Not a good mix.

It's a short term league.

The cap was in great shape until it wasn't. Bad decisions net bad results.

Garappolo would become Garopplegic behind this OL.

In the face after a practice in the panthers locker room from what I remember. It was a pretty big discussion around here, but we didn't hear about it until after he was gone. Wasn't exactly the kind of thing the team wanted getting out. Wasn't as public as the training camp incident (I was there for that) and nobody had to go to the hospital like after the first assault. Easier to keep contained and Cam probably didn't make it any better. At that point Cam was the future and Smitty wasn't doing much here. He had more in the tank for sure, but he wasn't letting it out. Dude was getting into more fights than he was getting into the end zone. I hated seeing him go and think it was crappy the way it was handled, but it wasn't surprising after it happened.

We start winning a couple more games, we keep Rhule. And then we plateau at .500.

Yes. Hit him. Well, slapped actually, but still. It was assault....again.

Oh, I know it's going to happen. And it will be another in a long line of bad decisions that they've worked themselves into.

And no one needs to be hit to put them in their place. That's the same mentality that refs gave for allowing him to get assaulted on a regular basis without repercussions. "Boy needs to be put in his place" Smh

You're agreeing with sizzlebuzz. Think about that.

Nope. Fair price or not, we crippled ourselves making stupid decisions last year. Fair price might still be too costly.

Lol you're talking out of your ass. I learned the hard lesson a long time ago that we won't win with Sam because he's horrible. Show me the last time I said anything positive about him. Too often doing something out of desperation leads you to bad decisions. Because of desperation, we went after Sam. Desperation led us to making some very bad decisions in the trade for him that hurt us. We got the wrong QB and it cost us a lot. Then we made bad decisions in the draft, bypassing obvious needs and legit talent for the OL. Then Horn gets hurt and, in desperation again, we trade away a good and needed target for whoever the QB is and yet another early draft pick because we'd "rather do something, than nothing at all". The cost is what would keep Watson from being as good an answer as he would have been had we not crippled the team last year out of desperation. Trading for Watson is a bad idea because it would put us in a much greater hole than we are in now. As good as Watson is, he wouldn't be good enough to pull us out of the hole that obtaining him would create.

What makes you think a trade with Houston will allow us to keep key players from that defense? We won't be better after a trade with Houston.

So you think that us with Watson will do better than Houston did with Watson? Especially after the damage done in lost personnel/picks?
