Whatever they do, it's gonna screw us.  With them taking whoever they get, and the Falcons taking Lance that win against Washington really fuged us.  No matter what we get at 8, both of them got better and did so ahead of us.

This will really be the test of how good of a coach Rhule is.

Just wondering why you feel this way?

What if the Saints trade up and take Waddle?

If the Falcons take Lance and 49ers Fields... that means one of Chase, Pitts and Sewell is there at 8. That’s a good thing. 
 

But obviously Chase won’t be there at 8. And if he was there at 7 the Saints will take him. Also, if he was there at 7 the Lions wouldn’t be trading out considering they tried to trade up to 4 for him. So unless the Saints are taking Sewell, it helps us

Its as if... having a quarterback on your roster who was once drafted in the top 5 doesnt necessarily preclude you drafting somebody better. 

Jameis Winston has been better than Sam Darnold. But we gotta pretend like we've struck gold and ignore the position in the draft lol. 

I can believe if the Panthers aren’t convinced in the QB class of this draft but you can’t convince me that at this moment they are convinced Darnold is their guy.

Per Sports Illustrated the target the Saints are looking at is Sewell. 

That's why.  

We lose to Washington, and none of this is a concern.  Now it is.  And Payton would cut his own nose off to spite us, and he does so at every possible turn.  He seriously hates us.

What? By that logic, let’s trade every pick (1-7) for the next 3 years and jump to #2 and take Wilson or something. Then we’ll really screw all our rivals over by getting better ahead of them!

There’s a cost of moving up that far, you know...they’d be screwing themselves a thousand times more than they’d be screwing us, unless they hit an absolute home run with whoever they take (like perennial All-Pro game-changer).

This is the dumbest take of the week, and I've heard some bad ones. Do you know how much they would have to give up to move from 28 to 7? It's not going to happen. 

Might help grease the wheels a lot if their new head coach is an old colleague/friend.

(which...he is)

They might wanna take a particular player with them, and be willing to negotiate around it.

And yet, we've been sitting back writhing and sulking around in our inter-divisional hate for them saying the same thing for years now - "oh, that's gonna come back to bite them," "no way they can keep signing people," "cap is gonna be unmanageable pretty soon..."  guess what?  None of those things happened, yet.  Theyve signed all the guys and traded for all the guys they wanted and made it through the entirety of Brees' tenure there without ever having to have a massive purge or reset.  Moving up to get ahead of us means absolutely nothing to Payton.  He does whatever it takes to improve his team and if he can screw us in the process, that gives him that much more incentive...  he loves it.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
