My interest was at an all time low this off-season, but Fitt and Morgan have killed it. We have completely revamped our O line, held on to key young talent, and landed the best left tackle in the draft, along with getting a possible franchise QB all while keeping our 1st and 2nd round pick next season.

I never dreamed Icky would fall to us…..or that we could get someone like Corral without trading a future 1st/2nd round pick. 

We now have a young, talented defense, an O line that should be very respectable (Jesus we have a 10 year franchise LT now) and a young QB with first round talent that could be our franchise guy. I am stoked and these moves actually got me out of the funk I was in before. Ahhhhh that magic of the draft. What day Ye huddlers? How do you feel this morning after our draft magic?

Have to agree. We picked up two missing pieces and got potentially the best LT and QB in the draft.  Added to our coaching upgrades and free acquisitions we may have begun to turn the corner.

My interest was also at an all time low this offseason, and really tbh from about midseason on. Does one offseason completely reverse that? No, because while all these moves look good, we won't really know what we have until actual games are played.

I'd say on balance I'm cautiously optimistic because they at least are focusing on glaring needs that were ignored before, causing me to cast aspersions on the ancestry, professional competence and general shoe lace tying mastery of more than one high ranking official within the organization over the past year.

I am now prepared to concede that all key decision makers may indeed be able to tie their shoes without assistance, but let me see the team in action before I get wildy exuberant to the point of declaring they can walk and chew gum at the same time.

My plan if I was GM: Sign Ryan Fitzpatrick and let him battle it out with Darnold for the starting role so that Corral can have a true redshirt year and take over next season.

Are we absolutely certain that Fitz does not moonlight as a Russian or Eastern European gangster in the offseason? I mean, just look at the picture. Tell me you can't hear him saying in a thick slavic accent:

"Look, my friend, I no make threats. I just advise that if the half million rubles are safely in my hands by Tuesday, it is better for everyone's health, yes?"

I woke up this morning as a completely recharged fan. Between crushing our two picks this year AND seeing just how valuable Horn is going to be against all these new shiny WRs everyone else got.... I think the foundation is set for the next decade now. Give Corral a little time to get his feet wet and watch that dude shine.

Unfortunately, Rhule is still around, so any enthusiasm that this refreshingly competent offseason has generated thus far is being extremely blunted.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
