Stafford officially on the trading block

Fitts said we'd be involved in every deal and it goes without saying we have a need at QB. I expect us to at least have a conversation though I suspect we would prefer a younger option to build around.

I expect him to land with a team that's more in win now mode. The Niners might be a strong player here. The Rams could be a sleeper candidate. The Bears would make sense if Stafford and his camp don't mind Nagy.

Why can't they do both?  Everyone looks at it like it's one or the other.  If it were me I would target Stafford if the price is right, meaning I don't have to give up this year's first.

Use that pick to either take a LT or trade down a few spots and take Jones and a LT in the second.  Profit.

And I would give up next year's 4th for someone to take Teddy.

Drew Brees and Tom Brady are in their 40s.

Rodgers is in his late 30s.

It's a different NFL these days.

No it's not. Brees, Brady, and Rodgers are just different and Brees hit that Father Time wall hard this year. Those guys are all-time greats and future first ballot HOFers. Stafford is definitely talented, but I don't think anyone is trying to say he's on those guys' level. Football is still a brutal sport and you need a ton of talent, a ton of football smarts, and a TON of luck on the injury front to have that type of longevity.

Matthew Stafford is a brilliant QB. He's a huge upgrade over what we have and he has 5 years left - easy. 

I think the broken ribs hit Brees hard this year, not Father Time.

He's a huge upgrade, yes. But I'm not convinced that'll make him an elite QB into his late 30s and early 40s. That'll take a lot of luck.

25 year old Brees doesn't get his ribcage pulverized like he got hit by a train from a run of the mill tackle.

Well I guess we would be better off to just roll  with Teddy? I don’t like those odds

Watson would take multiple 1sts. Stafford would more than likely take one 1st rounder. Or if they play their cards right, a player and a second. Either way Stafford is only 32 and he could potentially play till his in his late 30's. He'd instantly upgrade this offense. It wouldn't break the bank and even if it's just one 1st rounder that's not bad because you know what you get for Stafford and he'd easily play at least 5 years. You already have a good core of players, build around him and compete. 

 

I like that at least we know that Fitterer and the brass will be in this conversation. Exploring every avenue to become a better football team.

    • The biggest problem we've had with this team since Rivera left is that we have become progressively more timid. Certainly on offense, but mostly on defense.  Football is not a finesse sport. It isn't gentlemanly. You don't want to kill or injure opposing players, but it is essential that you knock them hard enough to intimidate them or at least make them pensive about every move they make.  We used to be those guys. And we haven't been for a very long time.  So, I hope Dan and Dave can bring us back to this. We need it. And a tough, hard hitting team always gives you a shot, even when you might not have the finesse talent on the field.  Yes, it is a passing league, but scared or addled receivers and QBs change the whole game. We need our grit back. We've been a bunch of neutered Persian cats for too long.
    • A couple of notable insights I gained from this:  - Diontae Johnson seems eager to help Bryce progress in his career - Clowney is happy to be back home - Luke is essentially a FO spokesperson - Dan says he would've liked to have added more talent in the draft, and he seems eager to scour the waver wire for other team's cuts. It's easy to read into his statements that this roster rebuild is nowhere near complete in his eyes.
    • Keeping fit is something that many people overlook until they are out of shape and therefore must work harder to reach their physical goals. However, the work put into keeping your body healthy is worth it in both immediate results and long-term benefits. Here are some tips on fitness that can help keep you happy and healthy for years to come. Set up your weightlifting routine around your fitness goals. If you are trying to create large, bulky muscle you'll want to do more weight, but with longer rest periods between sets and between workouts. If you are trying to develop lean muscles with high endurance, you want to lift less weight, but do it more often and with shorter rest times. If you're a person who likes to walk for your daily dose of exercise, make sure you bend your elbows while you're walking. Doing this will make you swing your arms faster and in turn you'll move your legs faster. Not only will you either finish your work out sooner or go further, but you'll burn even more calories while you're doing it!
