I hope he can mentor our young guards, but I worry he is just going to take minutes away from them. 

Outside of Kemba there is not another primary ball handler on the roster for him to take minutes away from.

If Borrego plays Monk at the one like Clifford does then he doesn't deserve to be a head coach.

Mitch was able to trade Dwight and cleared up money to sign Parker. That's a W.

Parker won't be 2015-2016 Jeremy Lin, but he's a stable backup to Kemba and should be a great mentor to Devontae Graham. Two years isn't a long commitment. He'd roll off the same time as MKG, Marvin & Mozgov.

Exactly.

I think when we didn't trade Kemba that should have been a sign that we weren't tanking. Now, with the addition of Parker we can say we definitely aren't tanking. 

I like this move. We just need Parker for 12-15 minutes a game. We haven't had a competent backup PG since Lin so this is actually a really good signing. At the same time, he gets to mentor Graham, Kemba, Monk on a system he knows a lot about.

Is he the Parker of old? No of course not. But can he give us 15 min so our team doesn't go to hell when Kemba rests? Absolutely! Good signing since we aren't tanking. 

Now, the only thing left is trying to move one of MKG, Marvin, Frank, Cody, Mosgov and try and get a high potential stretch PF who can actually shoot.

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
