It can't be much worse then the constant 3 and outs and all the turnovers.

If McCown were healthy, benching Jake might be a plausible alternative. With Moore and Feely, you are acting out of emotion more so than rational thought. Consider the following:

1. Philly - Jake sucked.

2. Atlanta - 4th down with pressure. Not a lot of options. Desperation. I would rather have someone throw the ball than take a sack.

3. Dallas interception 1. Lobbed it up there. Bad throw.

4. Dallas interception 2. Smith cut the route off.

Logically, since the Philly game, Jake the individual has not been any worse than the rest of the team. Benching him, with no viable alternatives is not the answer. It might give some fans and media an emotional jolt but it does nothing to increase the teams chances of winning. Later in the season, when/if there is no chance of this team making the playoffs, it would make sense to make the move. Until then, the best course of action is to suck it up.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
