anything is possible, but I don't see the Jets sticking with Darnold. They clearly tanked last year for a reason, and that reason was to get a QB.

So the reports that a deal was close could have been false? Possibly?

And yet another example

You trying to change the conversation repeatedly after agreeing with me clearly shows who this is more important to... You can’t let it go.

Your point? I never said anything to the contrary I just presented a theory that could be somewhat possible and you took offense to it but later agreed it was possible . I know you are trying to get the last word in but talking about others sceneries is another weak attempt. I said Eagles could be leaking some of the info, you disagreed at first but later said there was a chance. A chance is all I ever said. That discussion is over, if you want to talk about Watson we can start another thread.

I never said I knew more, just a possibility, but I like your weak attempt of deflecting now that you have already agreed with me and said it was possible.

So you agree with me that it is possible. I never said I was 100% sure, said it was possible, for some reason that bothers you. I don’t claim to have more insight, I can use some common sense and realize that not everything you read or hear should be taken at face value. There is nothing wrong with reading between the lines, you should try it one day.

Still haven’t answered....100% sure? all I’m saying is there is a chance, not sure why that bothers you so much What does sooner have to do with it, the close reports have been going on for a week? if anything the longer this takes the more likely my theory could be true.

Didn’t answer my question, so you believe there is zero chance that the Eagles could be leaking some of these reports to help try and improve the offers?

The article is from yesterday. What exactly are you trying to say? So you are 100% sure there are now 3 teams in an all out bidding war for Wentz? All I said is that it some of these reports could actually be the Eagles trying to drum up more interest, are you saying that is not possible at all? Or are you convinced that everything you read is to be taken at 100% face value?

There might be two or three teams involved but that doesn’t mean they are aggressively bidding against each other. I’ve been saying for a week now that it’s possible that the Eagles could be leaking some of these reports. Now you have a report saying they aren’t happy with the offers which would make that even seem more plausible. You don’t have to take every report at face value, as a fan you can use some logic and common sense. My guess is both Colts and Bears made offers, neither of which were as good as they hoped. Also they probably really aren’t trying to outbid each other, so Eagles are trying to get them to counter with better, hence all of the “close” reports last week. Now that they haven’t budged we have talks about a third team.

Blanket statements based on one game? Bucs won the conference championship game 31-26, does that mean offense gets you to the super bowl?

All of these “reports” about a trade being close, almost sounds like the Eagles trying to drum up business.

Last year should have been our rebuild year. We lost that opportunity, hopefully we don't end up overspending to correct that mistake.

Just another example of this idea that he was brought in just to be a "bridge QB" was stupid. Somebody in the organization though he was the answer.

and we have a winner ^ If Detroit was looking to rebuild or draft a young QB our pick this year is worth a lot more than the two later year picks they ended up receiving. For most teams taking on Goff would have been a negative, but isn't their GM the guy who originally drafted Goff? Only way this might not be true is if Stafford totally vetoed going to the Panthers.

Or the Eagles are trying to make it appear as if the market is stronger than it really is. All of these reports about something happening “soon” seem a bit odd.

Some team will think they can fix Wentz. Right or wrong, nobody in the league thinks they can fix Cam, hence the reason he signed for almost nothing last year.

but I was told Adams was only good because of Rodgers? There are some very poor "eye test" around here.

I don't get people trying to compare Lance to Mahomes. Just because a QB has a strong arm doesn't mean he is Mahonesesqe or if he scrambles around and makes a throw. What makes Mahomes different isn't just the ability to make all of the throws, but he seems to see throws that most QBs don't, he says a guy as open as where other QBs don't. Also its his ability to make these throws from all different platforms, weather its scrambling, moving either direction, or back foot. Most of the evaluators I've seen compare Wilson the most to Mahomes and that is the main reason he has shot up draft boards like he has. I'm not saying Lance is bad, I would actually be happy with him but its a bit lazy to compare him to Mahomes.

It would be crazy to think we haven’t thrown out a offer. We just made a extremely aggressive offer for Stafford. It would be asinine to think we haven’t made one for Watson. That doesn’t mean the Texans would consider it but I would guess we made them aware if ark east a starting point.

If they don't want a QB they should be acting like they do so a team trades in front of them and picks a QB. That moves the non-QBs down the list. They could end up with the 1st non-QB off of the board.

If they want a QB why would they say they want a QB? Just increases the chance someone will trade in front of them to grab the QB. I’m not convinced they will draft a QB but I’m not going to put much stock in a quote in February.

I’m pretty confident whatever it ends up being you will be uncomfortable with it. People on this board have severely understated it from the start. The Stafford trade was a bit of a wake up call. A trade for a QB like Watson is going to hurt, take whatever you are comfortable with and add to it.

RG3 went for 3 1st and 2 2nds, do you really think Watson is going for less? I think you are being a bit optimistic on what he was really goes for. What do you think it will take? for us? or a team like WFT or 49ers?
