Never seen so much mud thrown at the wall before. Virtually any take that could possibly be "reported" about this situation has been reported. That way literally anything that happens, these folks are gonna be able to point back to some "report" and say they called it. Yeah, you're gonna get it right somewhere along the way when you slather the entire wall with mud.

That’s the biggest issue with NFL media these days. Especially around draft time. It’s getting beyond ridiculous.

This just seems like posturing by both sides to me trying to get someone to budge a bit leading up to the 2nd.

The truth in all of this is probably somewhere in the middle. 
 

I’m 50/50 on this happening before the deadline. I think Tepper wants it to happen but they’re trying to limit more damage being done considering what we’ve given away for castoff players.

If we've already "re-engaged" multiple times you can hardly say that's the final nail. Saying now they weren't offering CMC seems like another face saving attempt. What I gather from this whole saga isn't anything particularly good. Our big decision makers seem to change course on a whim and if you look at the pattern of how they handled the situation with Newton and Bridgewater publicly this all fits with that dysfunction. It is what it is 🤷‍♂️

Calculated positioning is what I see, as well. They’re trying to drive the price down by being “not interested”. 

I’m convinced that Rhule and Fitterer have no interest in drafting/developing a rookie QB. They want to fast-track this thing on offense to complement our defense. The evidence is there in the off-season, tried for Watson and then Stafford then settled on Darnold. Now, Watson’s back on the menu.

It's not dying or definitive until he is traded, cut, arrested or whatever. Just say his name 3 times and there is a hot take about it.

I have no idea what will happen but it's not going away. Hopefully it just gets quieter after the trade deadline.

Until then, the morons will dance and sing and make a lot of noise getting clicks.

Agreed 100%

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
