Baker went through 4 different OCs in 4 years... he was never setup for success by that franchise. Browns are a poorly run franchise. Baker with a fair shake might actually be an optimal QB in this league. He took that team to the playoffs for the first time in over a decade, and helped them to their first playoff win in oer 25 years...

And if he comes here he’s likely to continue that trend to at least 6 OCs in 6 years.  One year with McAdoo then the guy who comes in after Rhule and crew.

Ive broken this about 3x now between last nights thread and today's... This will probably be the last time. 

Raiders have been quietly shopping Derek Carr for 3 weeks now. The Colts, Brown and Seahawks are said to be interested. The belife is that McDaniels wants to trade Carr because he is an easy value right now, for the following reasons:

1. Last year of his deal
2. He is going to be expensive this offseason due to his is current contract and elevated market
3. McDaniels wants to hand pick his QB

You can simply type in "Derek Carr Trade McDaniels" on google you will see articles sharing the same thing, and if you venture to the raiders reddit this has been an active topic.

That’s not the question I asked.

I'm pretty confident the Panthers are exploring other QB trade options if Watson ends up going to Atlanta.

that sounds like a horrific idea.   See last year. 

we do not need to keep trading away picks for bad QBs.  There is no one to trade for.  And all the non-answers will cost more than Sam.

Rhule wouldn’t be the reason he wouldn’t come here, if Tepper promised him the pick in the next coach. 

Rhule was in the meeting. 

They probably promised him input in decisions.  Which frankly is generic talk for any high value QB.

Matt Rhule and co are under pressure to win this year. He will not be patient enough to develop a rookie QB. That ship has sailed. They will be trading for a QB or signing a veteran FA most likely.

LAST RESORT, 11th hour--and this will blow some basement-dwelling minds: 

what if the Panthers, realizing that they are out of the DW sweepstakes, agree to take Matt Ryan and his  $40m salary for NO picks?.  That would give Carolina a bridge QB for a year or two while they find a replacement.  They could then draft LT with the #6 pick and be done.

I am not that serious about this, but it was a thought...

"Why in the fug would they do that?"

That is what you asked. I answered.

I am not sure if you are trying to come off like a pissy child, but your tone definitely reads that way. 

Why would they accept your proposed trade offer?   They are giving a way a franchise qb and all they get is to switch 1rsts?   Dude you have been just really insane the past few days

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By strato · Posted

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
