Hell no to Burns, Chinn or Brown. Jackson would be perfect, that's a guy we shouldn't try and resign, get something out of him before that decision. Just tell them Shaq is a real Buffalo nickle, Rivera swears.

I don't want to lose any of these young guys, but a young franchise qb is going to hurt in some areas--current players for future first rounders.  having said that, they need to proceed as if he is not available.

If I had to choose it would be Brown and like you said, that's not with 3 first. DTs are replaceable, even with all that talent Brown has. 

If it works, great. If not, draft a QB at 8 and see what happens. We literally could draft a QB in the first for three years and have solid odds to find one since we will be picking top 10 until we get one.

It sure sounds as if Tepper is ready to make his move now.  Got rid of Marty, got his coach, and he saw us stay in games wiht a huge dead cap figure, undrafted free agents all over the place, and injuries to Okung, CMC,--with a terrible situation at LG---and we still were in most games--within a score, and us without a QB who can get us over the hump.  So I have a feeling we are going all in.

I'd rather give up Jackson than the others, but I definitely noted that D-Jax's name came out of Fitts' mouth very early when he was talking about our promising young players.

Sounds incredibley dangerous to have such a push coming from  someone with so little football knowledge. I get the desire but I'm not sold on the price.

I know, but maybe he is (as suggested by his front office changes) surrounding him with football minds and he is just the kid in the back seat screaming, "Are we there yet?"  Except this kid in the backseat is also the one with the credit card for gas.

That scenario scares the hell out of me.

The last thing I want is for David Tepper to become active in football decisions.

That's the hope, unfortunately the non-football mind had a hand in the hiring of both football minds...that's going to leave me uneasy until they prove it's not an issue.

The positive there is that none of the guys he brought into the process made it to the second round.

He deferred to what Matt Rhule wanted, and while I'm uncertain about him that at least is a good sign.

What if it's Brian Burns and Jeremy Chinn? Or Burns and Donte Jackson?

The Texans are believed to want defensive starters in any potential trade.

Far easier to find another Burns or Chinn verses a franchise QB. I’d rather give more for Watson than gamble on trading away future 1sts for an unknown QB this draft. Say we trade up to 3 and the QB is trash then we are screwed. 
 

I think we will make a move one way or the other.

Frankly, I do not know how you can be an owner of a team and NOT make suggestions in general.  It is no secret that the NFL teams that succeed have good QBs.  There is no difference of opinion concerning QB in Carolina.  So from that perspective, I assume that he is engaged.  As far as evaluating talent, etc. I would think not.  The comment from Fits--"We are going to be involved in every QB deal"  (paraphrasing) is what I am basing this on---Tepper is barking a bit.  Maybe I am wrong, but Tepper is involved to some degree--the only debate is to what degree.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By CRA · Posted

      yeah, I can get a little of that.  But that's not what he is posting in his argument just now though.   He said people wouldn't even concede to the literal ability to do it when pressed on the literal ability.  I have never seen that.  He maintains it exists somewhere.  I mean, using anomaly games to make arguments about players just isn't the way.   There wasn't a defender within 10 yards of our guys on 2 of those 3 throws Sunday.  No one within 5 on the 3rd.   That's not Bryce Young answering questions about his play downfield..  That's Bryce Young taking advantage of coverage busts by a bad D.  Which hey, that's part of the game too.  Recognition and seeing the field.   It can't totally be dismissed.   That's still good play.  You want your QBs to make those plays.  But it's not getting into the long standing critique of BY IMO.

      Adam Thielen on Young

      By strato · Posted

      Deserved, I wouldn’t use that word. Asked for? For sure. Am I upset over it? No.  People forget that AT was throwing his helmet in frustration last season over his QB’s ineptitude. The same QB was pretty inept to start this year, no guarantee AT would have helped him in those games any more than he did last year.  Just sayin.  And Dan doing him a solid probably did not go unnoticed by players around the league. I think it increases his rep with potential FAs. It sure can’t hurt it.

      You think that was the fault of the guy that was lighting it up or maybe the bums around him? Funnily enough, those bums are still being bums in his absence. Who would have thought!
