The same front office that’s tried to trade for every QB this off-season? After giving Teddy B 60 million? The same front office willing to give their first borns to the Texans? Yea they aren’t desperate at all. 

They clearly passed on beating the 49ers offer.

Exactly! I don't know what some people are thinking! Did Fitterer and Rhule (and even Tepper) become stupid with their value-cost analyses all of a sudden?

Hell, they passed on the 49ers-Dolphins shenanigans, and also the Rams-Lions'!

Trading with Miami at this point is unlikely, and depends on two factors Miami doesn't control.

1.  Who is still available at six.

2.  What we think Detroit will do.

If one of the four QB's is still there at six, Miami already showed the league their hand.  They aren't interested.  Anyone with the draft capitol to reasonably move up already has.  So what do we think the Lions will do? 

I mean, it's the Lions, super hard to say.  They have Goff, but was their goal to get Goff or was their goal to get rid of Stafford?  Hard to say.  Goff is younger for sure, maybe they do like him.  I don't think Detroit is completely out of the QB market, but having Goff I think makes it less likely they would take one.

Bottom line is that pick six isn't all that valuable right now, as it appears that four QB's are going in the top five.  In the event something strange happens on draft day, that could change.  I don't expect us to move to six pre-draft, that's for sure.

You have to be a special kind of gullible to believe it was all former radio host turned gm Hurney who was already halfway out the door yet entirely on his own went out and signed a backup quarterback to a 60 million dollar contract. 

It is crap to blame the fans for having the nerve of expecting more and not wanting to see the franchise waste the prime of our young core on manageable contracts because we picked the wrong quarterback.

The onus is on the coaching staff the owner and unfortunately for him Fitterer the new gm to figure it out and right the ship. We were fed a line of back and forth double talk about our former qb and the process itself moving forward in the early stages of the 2020 offseason that this was going to be a rebuild then it wasn't and we blew up our cap space on two luxury positions and Teddy Bridgewater. Figure out the plan set it in motion and fix this.

I'm not sure how desperate our FO really is.  We have no idea what they've actually been doing on the QB front, other than being involved - which is what all of us wanted.  We know they've been outbid a few times...  So, desperate to an extent, but not insofar as to make moves that IMO would have been a bit too costly. 

As to Teddy B, his contract isn't as terrible as some here make it out to be...  He was paid 16th in the league last year and that is honestly about where he fell in terms of QB level.  Luckily it is a relatively team friendly contract and we can ditch him without a terrible cap hit next year. Tbh I would have rather gone with the much cheaper Kyle Allen, but oh well.  I don't blame a coach for not wanting to go the tanking route, heh.

Well to be fair that was Hurney that did that to TB....uh but the same front office that kept Hurney around for another year in hopes that? what? I have no fuging idea it has been beyond clear and obvious that Hurney is a trash GM but I guess we just had to scientifically nail that down with even more evidence.

There are a lot of QB needy teams this year  

the odds of one of the top 5  QBs just magically falling to the Panthers at 8 is unlikely   The odds of a team not trading up, or trying to, is also unlikely 

odds are for the Panthers more trading down then up 

Panthers screwed the pooch several times since Rhule arrived and now Rhule is stuck with the player he fell in love  with having that he now  wants to divorce 

2021 is going to be interesting

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
