I don't believe he did. His rep is for not being able to manage QBs.

He got enough of one to be given an ESPN show for it. And honestly, the show was good.

With that said, asking Jon Gruden for advice on how to develop a quarterback is a lot like acting Tommy Wiseau how to become an  award winning actor/director.

Yeah stick with Teddy because we are not getting a good qb in the draft, probably have a chance at 5th option. No thanks 

Starting teddy this year was always the plan, having a rookie qb sit and learn was the plan.  We will have options at 8.  All 4 qb's will not be gone.  I suspect we will have a choice of 2 of the 4.

 

Our roster is not strong enough to deal away picks

Choice of the 2 out of 4 with all the teams behind us wanting qbs too. Good luck with that!

Not sure where the worries about his contract are, would be two years with $19M a year on the books. He'd be earning less than Teddy. And I don't think Carr is a bad QB at all, but his coach has never successfully developed a QB.

There's a reasonable contract and player that might be worth taking a good look at.

While still on the hook for TB's dead money so this makes no sense. Even when it came to Stafford, no one is trading for TB to lessen his hit on the books. 

Makes sense to draft a QB whether we trade up, or at #8 if Lance is there, and have the rookie sit for a 1/4 or 1/2 of the season; and then let them play it out. TB's cap hit after 2021 is 5M dead money, if we move on from him this off-season it's 20M.

We don't have the cap to waste on that amount of dead money after what we just went through this past off-season and jettisoning veterans and taking the cap hits.

I think I agree with this. I’d say he’s slightly better than guys like Garropolo and Goff who were recently in Super Bowls, but I think I’d rather just try to hit it big in the draft

I'd say he is probably in that same class as Goff and Jimmy G. Average to below average NFL starters. 

I am not against it given the money left on his deal(slightly less than $20 mil in 2021/2022). I don't know how much I would be willing to give up in a trade since he might just get cut.

I don't think we'll release Teddy at all. If someone took him in trade, then yeah, but I think we'll still have him on the roster come September barring that. 

If we draft someone as QB, then Teddy is someone you want to have on hand to help that player's development. And as a backup, he's a guy that can come in and run the team until the starting QB is back on the field. That $20m+ on the books is going to be there no matter what, so you might as well get some mileage out of him.

And I think that was the plan all along with Teddy. It's what I said going into last season after we picked him up. He's the guy for the moment, but he isn't the longterm plan.

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
