Clear thinking…refreshing round here

Thanks, but when the Mods see that I will be banned, for sure.

I'm open to any serviceable vet (see @Jackie Lee's list), as long as we don't have to trade anything for them (FA's) and they are relatively cheap.  Honestly, the longer they have been around the better since they can help break-in the draft pick(s) and Corral.

What I am not open to is trading draft picks for one of them, or acquiring a U-Haul and thinking it might turn into a Porsche.  But that was a defect in thinking of The Process that hopefully would not be repeated by a coach that knows that NFL can stand for Not For Long if they screw things up.

Then again, Josh McDaniels has been around the NFL for years and he has given no indication he understands that, so maybe my expectation that an experience NFL coach would know that is overblown.

Might as well keep Sam to backup Matt with a rookie draft pick in the wings learning. Take your lumps and hope 2024 is kinder to you.

Minshew would yield the same results but cost a draft pick.

Minshew is FA next year so no trade, and his TD/INT ratio is way better than Darnold's

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Ok--I have seen some sample items, and I would like to see something (if possible) measures on field intelligence--maybe how quickly you can grasp a playbook or absorb film session adjustments...Back when we had Morrison as team president and Hurney as GM, I offered to assess (as part of my research in education requirement at a University) emotional intelligence and learning styles of players to help coaches teach more effectively.  Morrison loved it and contacted me about it.  Hurney was not interested, and it fell through the cracks.  My pitch?  If only 50% of first-rounders become successful NFL players and that number drops significantly, can you tell me that you are effectively measuring talent?  Morrison thought it was a good point and wanted to do something that might improve long-term success rates--that would impact the cap management, etc.  Marty, according to Morrison, said he was not interested at this time and if so, he would want a football guy to do it.  (I told Morrison that I played in college and Hurney, a sports reporter at one time, did not. (He told me that Hurney played as a Guard in college--who knew?) Any way, about that time, Morrison left (2017) and the idea was dropped.  I reached back out a year later or so to Marty was still not interested.  A few days later, his wife accused him of assault or something, so I dropped it.

      Pretty sure they still do the Wonderlic they just don't publicly release the scores.

      I just thought he was under the radar--but thanks for opening our eyes to him.  I think we should have better measures for intelligence--such as reaction time, angles, etc. Legette is raw as heck, for example, and his RAS was very high.  We used to do the Wonderlic (which was not great) but to know how effectively a player makes on field decisions would be great.
