Draft Malik please 

this is the right move for the franchise. I'd say make one move for Derek Carr and use 6 on a LT, but if we cant land Carr for a reasonable price.... then  go sign Cam and draft Malik. It will re-energize the fanbase.

The Rhule thing will most likely turn out to be a mistake. However, it's not often that new owner hits on their first coach hiring.  However, he is an NFL owner so his feet will always be held to the fire.

I think the success rate for an owners first time coaching hire is like 6% retention within the first 5 years, or something. That is to say that it’s quite small.

Exactly what I mentioned. At this point they need to just entertain the fans. Build hope

A couple of things to put this in perspective if the Watson debacle shakes out with the Panthers losing out on Watson:

- Watson's legal and disciplinary troubles are not over.

- He does have a history of knee injuries that is worrisome.

- The Panthers are not one player away from winning a championship like the Rams were last year.

- We are only into the 2nd year of the new GM's influence on the team

Why would the Raiders allow you to take their franchise QB for a reasonable price?

Carr is the only one of the vets left I would be ok going after. He is a baller. Step above cousins imo.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
