Tony Romo's fractured rib.

While I am tired of hearing about it, I have to give the guy some props. i've fractured a rib before, and it hurts like crazy. It's a sharp pain and it just doesn't seem to go away, hurts to breathe, to move, to even talk, so the fact that he went out there and winded up footballs and threw them is impressive especially if it was on his right side.

I cracked my ribs playing football, and refused to come off the field as well despite the pain, and didn't miss a down the next week either even though it still hurt, though I did miss school the first few days of that week (few things in my life I'm more proud of than myself toughing out that pain)

So I just wanted to share that because it's kind of cool knowing exactly what a pro NFL player is going through. We usually watch it but never really understand the situation, so it's cool knowing exactly how he feels and what he is going through in regards to his injury. So, I hate the Cowgirls, I think Romo is insanely overrated, but am gonna give him props for not sissying out.

That is all.

      Sure, there's definitely a chance that a fire sale in 2022 could've paid off but I don't think that's a certainty. It's not just about stockpiling the picks and bettering odds; it's about hitting on those picks, having a stable coaching staff to develop them, and keeping the locker room engaged. We didn't exactly have a model front office nor stable coaching staff in 2022. It's worth noting that part of the reason that DJ had to be included in the trade up for #1 was because the Bears needed an immediate, proven WR1 to help Fields. It was him or another immediate first-round pick, not a future one like what was being offered for Burns (whom teams knew that things were shaky with and that they could afford to wait). As for the Eagles, they recovered because the foundation was already in place. Pederson got flak and was ultimately fired (and was just fired again this offseason from the Jags). Their recovery was quick because the foundation was already in place: Howie Roseman and a solid roster (that included a stacked OL, a second year QB, and a veteran defense). Philly had a margin of error that just wasn't available to Carolina. I'm not against using the draft to rebuild, but a full-on teardown comes with real consequences: fan disengagement, a fractured locker room, poor development, a losing environment... and I don't believe that we had the necessary leadership at the time to cleanly navigate it. That's a gamble that I want no part of.  Now that we do have a staff that seems to be in complete alignment and building for the future rather than fighting for their jobs, I'm more inclined to observe their process and see where it leads rather than backseat driving with "perfect" hindsight.

      I see it a bit differently considering there is only 20M in cap space. Given how many of the premium positions are on rookie contracts their cap should not be nearly maxed out. Tillis still has a lot of work to do before these rookies will need a second contract.
