So where are alll those "win every game stans" at on the 2nd texans 1st bear deal???? I wonder if it clicks now..... 

I still don’t understand how you would have told/made the players not win on purpose. How do you actually do that in real life?

You want to do nothing like we have done ever since Cam has left. It’s worked great so far. Makes sense…

He long contended the Darnold trade was a good one. He was also a Rhule fan who blasted the team when we fired him. In short if the team is doing the opposite of what he wants consider that a good thing.

So he is just having a little pouty party over there. I get it now…

We've spent about $100m trying to find a solution at QB since Newton left. 

That doesn't mean we have to throw 3 first round picks at the problem too.

Although losing out when you suck is ideal, I agree with you on how to get players and coaches to buy in. They're not.

Yeah we spent stupid money and threw away picks while having nothing to show for it. Why are you obsessed with this 3 firsts comment? Trade up to 3 and get one. We just need to draft one early and stop waiting around trying out castoffs from other teams. The last one we drafted early worked out pretty well. Let’s try that again.

There is A LOT of smoke/chatter currently on NFL Twitter about us having a trade in place with Chicago to get the first overall pick...
