I mean they're taking a risk, but it's for a qb with the youth and traits they were looking for and they didn't even part ways with a first round pick to get it. You can make the argument for trading up for a young qb but the options were probably worse there and the same age QB as Sam. The SF trade forced them into a corner, they decided to take a route that let them keep all their draft picks this year. I don't hate it. 

In a deal like this, you will always overpay

in essence we gave up next yrs 2nd

bet fitts figures out something to get it back

now we get one of the best OL in the draft instead of the 5th best QB

this is a good deal for us

I understand if people have David Carr ptsd though, that looked promising and was a mess

Also, the Bears cut their best corner and made Andy Dalton tgeir starter, they're not making good decisions currently 

That CB went form 14 million to 9.5 million on the open market. They thought 14 was too much and it was. They needed about 5 million to sign Ifedi too. Not going to defend Dalton as starter thats nearly as bad as trading 3 picks for Sam Darnold..

Actually it's been reported multiple teams were interested at one point when the price was too high and they were asking for a 1st or second. After free agency, after the 49ers trade, and after andy dalton there just wasn't any suitors left besides us. 

 

Lol we gave them a second and added to it..

You mean teddy severely under-achieving with a top 5 offense in the league?

Or did you mean Sam Darnold when he played for a team that everyone makes fun of?

I meant their actual performance and registered  production and not whatever weirdo metric you’re using

Oh okay so you're basically saying you're incapable of complex thinking and haven't put together all the variables. Could of just said so. Gotcha

Ifedi isn't a good player though

I get the pessimism, seems a lot like David Carr, but they felt backed into a corner and are taking a gamble. The compensation ain't as bad as yall are making it out to be imo

      FanDual on Amazon Prime

      Hulu +Live: $88.78 Amazon Prime: $16.00 (w/FanDuel: $36.12) Apple TV+: $10.66 Netflix:$26.68 Is all still $80 less per month than what I was paying for DirecTV when I gave it up a few years ago.

      2025 College Football Thread

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I just don't know that he has the time to turn it around at his age. His age is going to be a major strike against him in the recruiting trail and it's just a tough row to hoe to turn a football program around. One good recruiting class can turn around a basketball team. Hell, one individual recruit can turna around a basketball team - Carmelo Anthony basically won a national championship single handedly at Syracuse. Cam at Auburn is the only college who even comes close to that type of impact off the top of my head. A good recruiting class is 2-3 years down the road from significantly impacting a college football program... if you can actually keep them around. The instant impact is in the portal but everyone else is chasing those guys too. If I was building a college program, I'd focus almost exclusively on the trenches starting out. To me, that's the big difference in college. The better teams dominate the trenches. There's just a LOT more talent disparity at the college level than there is the NFL level. The worst teams in the NFL are still full of guys who were all conference or all American at the college level. The gap between the best team in the NFL and the tenth best team in the NFL is pretty small. A couple of plays might be the difference. The #1 team in the country is probably going to be a 10 point favorite over the #10 team at the college level. The gap on talent between the #1 team and the #32 team is a massive gulf. The #1 team's backups would be competitive against the #32 team. I just don't know if Belichick after a career in the NFL was prepared for the level of talent disparity he was going to face.

      Saints just released a good safety

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      I wouldn't drop David Moore, honestly. Moore, while long in the tooth and light in production, is about the only veteran presence in the WR room now and the only one with extensive experience with what Canales wants and needs. And that's probably why he made the roster. Still, aging safeties who might make a decent gunner just aren't where you want to spend your money and roster spots. Even at vet minimum, he's not going to be as cheap or maybe as trainable as some UDFA who would run through a brick wall for a roster spot for rookie league minimum and a chance.
