We traded real assets for literally the worst starting QB in the NFL in recent years. There was nothing smart about that. Now the new Jets QB might be the worst starting QB in recent years. Hell, know what I'd do? Find out who the Jets' QB1 is and definitely NOT draft that guy. 😂

Two questions... do you know what "in a vacuum" means and you realize the outcome of something doesn't mean something else was a bad decision, right?

Trading a conditional 5th round pick for a QB just a year removed from carrying the freaking Browns to the playoffs, is 100% a smart decision, no matter how it ended up, it was the correct call and risk to make at the time.

The Darnold trade was more questionable, but still the correct and smart decision at the time.  Sure, in the end it sucked to lose the 2nd rounder we gave up, but the 4th and 6th rounders in the deal are closer to throwaways than real losses.

And in the situation we were in at QB, a 2nd round pick for someone who still had legit starting potential at the time, was again, absolutely a smart risk to take.

No, they didn't work out in the end and the two trades stacked on top of each other do compound each decision individually to make it worse, but that's why "in a vacuum" they were the correct and smart decisions at the time.

Was drafting Ryan Leaf the smart decision for the Chargers at the time?  

Of course it was

Was it a good decision that worked out when looking back?

Of course it wasn't

Doesn't mean it wasn't the smart decision at the time.

It was a joke. 😂

Like the idea of trading for Sam Darnold and negotiating against ourselves. That was also a joke.

Thomas Davis said there is a contingent that loves Richardson...IE no one in the media knows for sure who the Panthers want and I like it. 

That ‘contingent’ was the equipment manager and the guy who paints the white lines on the field.

Caldwell, Brown and McCown need to determine the pick.

Tepper, his wife, Reich and Fit need to stay the fug out of it.

So the head coach and the man ultimately in charge of the offense the one calling plays this year should stay tf out it hmmmm sounds crazy to me.

Darnold trade was pure idiotic he was 30th in QBR before coming here next season here, he was 31st lol. It made no sense to get Sam but Matt had the wool pulled over DT eyes

Who hired Rhule?

 

No disrespect to Tepper but let the football guys make the decisions. Don't become Jerry Jones of the South.

Oh I agree he needs to let the football guys make football decisions, but that is what he did with Rhule. At the end of the day if he doesn’t trust his GM and HC to make the right call, he hired the wrong people which I don’t think is the case.

Usually I would agree but I get the feeling CJ is favored because he’s a better fit for what Reich likes to run on offense and not because he’s the better QB 

Shouldn’t we be picking the QB that is the better fit for Reich’s offensive scheme?  Should we be picking someone who is a lesser fit?

Make it make sense, please.

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.
