Saints might be trading ahead of us

Totally disagree...they want a QB...let them give up a bunch to get ahead of us...the only QB I really like is Lawrence....and maybe Jones 

I disagree.  I dont think Payton needs a first round QB, nor does he want one.  They looked pretty effing good with a bucktoothed, super-powered The Golden Calf of Bristol despite his limitations.  They are stockpiling talent and they're draft record over the last few years should be the envy of the league.  So whatever they're gonna do, it's gonna have more of a negative effect on us than it will them.

Boy I hope so. I'm mentally preparing for Pitts.

I wouldn't be mad at Pitts, but I have grown to think CB is a bigger priority.  My personal, current board is

1) Fields/Lance

2) Sewell

3) Horn/Surtain with the preference being Horn.

I saw Verge's blurb about us being interested in Farley after Horn, and made no mention of Surtain, but Farley's back issues scare the hell out of me.

We've been thinking that since back when fat Alice was stinking up this joint.

I remember. Karma can be very, very slow. Or she might just have a really, really big bag to fill for them. Sooner or later that swamp juju they've been relying on will extract its price.

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.

 

How come nobody complains about that pesky 3 game win streak when they harp on that WFT win? Are they somehow different?

Yes, because we still were in contention at that point and Teddy hadn't shown how horribly inept he was at that point.  At Washington, the season was over, qe were out of contention, most everyone was already over Teddy and ready to move on, and we literally had nothing to gain by winning that.

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
