LETS fuging GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The Rams will not have had a first round pick for almost a decade by the time they get their next one, and they seem to be doing OK for themselves.

They also had a bunch of money to splurge in one of their free agencies under McVay and the most draft capital that went into any one player was two firsts and not three firsts + a bunch of other stuff for one Player but hey yeah I like making comparisons without having all the facts.

Ask him how many SB's have the Rams won in the last decade using that strategy.

and to be fair I said 

"My friend texted me about thirty minutes ago that trade talks featuring Russell Wilson were getting hot and heavy, and that the Saints were certainly in the mix to push to get him. Bears also thoroughly in the mix. "

Think the Saints bowed out and signed Jameis (hence why it took a bit longer to sign him mixed with the Brees retirement).

Bears definitely ended up being in the mix as the Bears GM sat down at dinner with the Seahawks GM to discuss it, that is about as hot and heavy as it gets. 

Except theirs zero source of the Saints being hot and heavy for Wilson. And before they signed Winston they already gave Taysom a new contract. The only team from the get go who were in serous conversation were the bears and that was common knowledge way before your “source” said anything.

That is unfair.  It is hard to win a Super Bowl.  The most you can hope for is to consistently make the playoffs, which the Rams have.  After that unless you are Tom Brady, it is just difficult to win a Super Bowl.

Deshaun Watson is 25 years.  Unless we treated him as poorly as the Texans, that would mean we probably have at least 10 years to build around him.  If we can't do that then what difference is it if we don't get him?  A good FO would know how to work with an elite QB who, after the TV deal kicks in and other QBs sign huge deals, will be relatively cheap.

The Rams have traded away 8 first round picks since 2016... 

That FA you spoke of was in 2016 and they havent been able to spend poo since in an offseason.

Keep telling yourself that.  The goal is the bowl...rinse and repeat.

Okay but your logic is still asinine.  There are teams that have a high 1st round pick every year and don't win.  Does that also mean high 1st round picks don't matter?

It goes both ways.  There are multiple ways to build a team.  Look at how well the Saints have drafted and yet they haven't made it back to the Super Bowl.  Ish happens.  Judging if something is a success strictly off if the team won a Super Bowl is horrendous logic.

He's entertaining in that the idiotic poo he spews is so hilariously inaccurate and bad. He really hasn't done anything ban worthy in this board. 

I'm 100% okay with letting him keep having awful takes that get proven wrong.

      There's a flip side to that, if he has 2 or 3 more great games and we make the playoffs, there's going to a tsunami of momentum to extend him going into next year. If he remains inconsistent, we will all be arguing all off season long. I think he's done enough to where he's going to at the very least, be the starter in 2026. Nothing is going to change that with 7 wins on the board at this point, even if we flame out and lose the remainder of them. We haven't won 7 games  If we win 8 games, that would be our highest win total since the 2017 season. That's very significant.

      GWD is the critical stat for an NFL QB. What you need for perspective is GWD %.  This is how many opportunities he converts. 2023 was 12.5%. 2024 was 33.3%. 2025 is 50%. Career is 28.9%. A consistent playoff winning QB is in the 30% range. A championship caliber QB is in the 40% range. He has been tracking well even with his major limitations under the development of Canales. This is the only reason he is holding on, but he is at the same level of a Derek Carr with the Raiders. Carr was 32.4% GWD in his first 3 seasons with 12 GWD in 37 opportunities. This gives you perspective on why he is frustrating to evaluate. Carr did what for the Raiders? 2 winning seasons in 9 seasons with 4 different HCs/OCs. This is what we want as Panthers fans? A decade of average with potential and many moments of hope? At least he'll win a QB skill competition like Carr, right?
