I don't believe in trading away a king's random for one player! Too many things can go wrong, and not enough right!

I just find it totally unnecessary! 

And it's a good way to totally screw your franchise into the ground if you get it wrong.

I know people say Lawrence is a "can't miss" prospect but I don't believe there's any such thing.

The Rams really screwed their franchise trading up for Goff... Imagine if that QB they traded up for was actually elite like a Mahomes or Rodgers (and Lawrence could be) instead of slightly above average like Goff.

What's unfortunate there too is that they didn't just trade up for him. They followed It up later by giving him a ridiculous contract.

The point was that they did not screw up their franchise at all by getting Goff.

Not...not really. Unless Trevor Lawrence is the only QB in the draft with a sense of urgency, the ability the throw the ball farther than 20 yards.

I mean if he is then Yeah, sure. But we didn't need an elite playmaker today. We haven't really needed an elite playmaker at QB all season. We just need a Good QB.

I'll take Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco type QB this draft over a Luck or Manning esp if we have to trade up.

I wonder if the "don't mortgage the future" crowd realizes football is supposed to be fun? Lol hell yeah, call the Jets, make em an offer. If it's absurd hang up, but at least make an offer for the Andrew Luck prospect right down the road, don't be boring, have some vision

Then draft Wilson 

You know its a job for many of these people right

They're not gonna risk draft capital because "football is fun lol"

Its also not fun to watch your team miss out on lots of capital and potentially be damned for it.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
