Baker not the only name on the list....

Joe Person claims Baker not the only name on a list of qbs, which is obvious. Reading this article on PFT, he never mentions Lamar or Kyler(regardless how anyone feels of either)  but it's clear Scott has called around the league. He stated weeks ago that he is waiting on teams to call him, which implies he has initiated  contact but waiting...

I got a bad feel too but I hope Mr In On Every Deal doesn't let Rhule too far into the decision....

Tepper is probably driving this bus. He made his name in the investment world rolling the dice on incredibly risky investments and he's desperate for a QB. He's probably going to be the cause of the reckless move soon to come.

I know.  Murray is not the QB to take you to the Super Bowl, imo.  He flashes and has highlights, but at the end of the day, is he the answer?  When will he decide that he needs another big, premature deal?  A close look at NFL winning QBs over the past few decades will answer that question.   I pass on Murray, Mayfield, and Minshew--(I added Minshew because is his last name starts with an M as well).

Definitely can see that!! His ego won't be checked and he seems bound to do something  massive, just to have the hype! Not sure if it'll happen this year but we will see.

If we do, there's no hope for us. 

Not that I really give any of these reports much seriousness, but at least the book hasn't been written on Murray. He has maturity issues it seems, but his play is in a different stratosphere than Baker Mayfield's or Jimmy Garrapolo's. With some seasoning, he may turn out pretty great. 

Let's not forget that it's still the lying season at the bottom of the stairwell to the draft. I'm skeptical of these reports, but I do believe we inquire about any deal, but it only matters if there is a legitimate deal to be made. 

Fitterer isn't dumb, I don't believe. He learns, I'm thinking. He's the countermeasure to continued craziness I hope.

I understand the concern but I think it’s just business as usual, doing their due diligence. “In on every deal” you know. I wouldn’t be too worried about this.

This is definitely  the season of misdirection. I just think it's going to take time getting used to a GM that is literally  working the phones nonstop. Hard to tell which situation  has any real substance  but at least he is looking vs sitting idle. Just hope it's nothing crippling if so.... Its tough thinking with what ifs with a hot seat coach....

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
