they're clearing the deck for salary because the draft interest in a QB is smoke and with a LT that can play at 6, our team looks competitive on paper minus a QB that we trade to get. We want someone to leapfrog us for Willis so we can get our pick of tackles at 6. Mayfield? 

Mayfield if the Browns cut him and he'll do a prove it deal for like $5M. I'd take Minshew over Mayfield personally

I was with you until you said Mayfield.

Murray? Pass. That dude doesn't want to play football and gets rattled too easily. 

This is what it’s gonna be. If there is a deal it’s going to be for Kyler Murray. Multiple 1s. We sign Dwayne Brown. Mayfield to the Cardinals.

He wants to play….he’s just smart and wants to get paid. He’s gaming the system understanding that if he forces a trade he gets paid. It’s smart.

Latest whispers say the Panthers are willing to trade Darnold plus a young player just for a team to take his contract.

Did we ever get an explanation on picking up the guys 5th year option?  Who was managing this team then, Elmer Fudd?  It's like they don't actually think about what they did.

That would be a huge mistake.  If he was going to be franchise defining qb the Cardinals would not trade him for anything.  He's not Mahomes lite, he's a Mahomes wannabe.

How do you reconcile Pickett having such superior stats against basically the same competition last year?

Much better supporting cast and he's as old as most second year NFL players. He's a literal man playing against boys.

Swap Pickett and Howell and UNC probably wins 3 games and Pickett is a priority UDFA. Real talk. Pickett is the beneficiary of a better than average veteran team and an addition year of eligibility due to COVID.

    • He has a lot to work on for sure but he has been a huge boost to the offense. It's nice to finally have an elite WR.
    • We have been on that roller coaster ride already. He needs to have streaks far longer than a couple of good games.  People raved about the Green Bay game in 2023. Which was mostly a good 2nd half and hot 4th quarter.  Ask me what happened the next four games, if you don’t remember. or just go look them up. There isn’t much to see.  The end of last year had some good things and one excellent outing, and look up what followed that, which you won’t have to but he came out this year looking like week 1 2023.  Now he is on a game and a half streak, against a bad Miami team and lowest rated defense in the league - at home.  This is the reality in the big picture. He needs to break his pattern, in a positive way. 
    • This "noodle arm" characterization just baffles me. There's way more involved in a successful downfield passing attack than simple air yards. Let's take two stat-lines for throws of 40+ air yards (no YAC) from the last 3 seasons: 5/29 (17%) for 3 TDs and 2 INTs 1/9 (11%) for 1 TD So with three times the number of attempts, you net +6% completion percentage, the same TD rate, and 2 arm punt INTs to boot. The first player is Mahomes, the second is Bryce. Clearly Bryce attempts these throws at a much lower rate, but his success rate is quite similar to one of the most talented downfield throwers of all time. The takeaway isn't that Bryce is Mahomes-lite (if he was his usage rate for these would be much higher) but that these throws by their very nature are extremely difficult, very scheme-specific, and even an elite thrower can have wildly differing success rates season by season. And before we get into the complaints of cherry-picking, this is far more substantial information than the various insinuations that Bryce struggles to even get the ball 20 yards downfield, much less 40+. And the wildest part of this is that every time Mahomes threw a bomb over the last 3 season, 83% of the time the end result was failure, yet many Chiefs fans complain that he isn't taking even more shots downfield.
