Mr. Scot

That'd be a bad sign, honestly. But no.

Kellen Mond? Really? That's almost a bigger question mark to me than ranking Wilson above Lawrence.

We don't know jack sh-t at this point. That could be good...or not. Hopes for the best are valid. Unfortunately, concerns for the worst are as well. Heck, we don't really know much about Fitterer just yet either.

Fanspeak doesn't concern me. Comments from analysts about Tepper being obsessed, willing to do anything, pay any price, etc... Those give me pause. As mentioned above, his saying that we need a QB isn't a problem. Dictating what we do to get that QB is another story, especially if it overrides people who know more than him.

Tepper admitted he was the one who suggested that Rivera switch to a 3-4. And honestly, I don't care how "different a cat" he is. I do care whether he meddles as an owner. I think the last thing anybody wants is the guy who said that Marty Hurney was one of the best talent evaluators in the league influencing football decisions; coaching, personnel or otherwise.

He's right, though. Tepper saying "we need to get a quarterback" and trusting what his decision makers do in that regard, no problem. Tepper, as the guy with the least amount of real football knowledge in the room dictating details to people who know way more than he does? Big problem. We've heard plenty of talk about how important the quarterback issue is to Tepper but pretty much nothing about how involved he is in the process, if at all. Personally, I'd rather he not be.

Manziel sure as hell wasn't a "brains" quarterback.

I's take Voth's word over Spotrac.

Link them. Or quote where it was said.

I'm pretty sure "the lesser of five evils" isn't a thing.

Then why would we want to trade him? (and take a huge cap hit in doing so)

If you're implying that the Panthers have actually discussed trading McCaffrey, there's zero indication of that. here's a statement from somebody who actually does work for the Panthers though.

You're not missing anything.

I seriously can't see trading up to #3 for Lance.

Trading McCaffrey triggers a crazy cap hit. It's silly that people are even discussing it. It's equally silly to think that just McCaffrey and the #8 pick nets us the number three from the Dolphins. Again, this scenario isn't feasible.

Someone else made the point that Adam Peters would probably have some insight into Bridgewater after his interview with us. It's hard to picture them seeing him as a starter.

Sorry. I thought that's what you had in mind. Either/or is reasonable.

Once we had a candidate list, and they still got it wrong. Think I saw a list for GM candidates too. It was just as bad.

I could see the Patriots making a minor trade for Bridgewater. I could see them making a bigger trade for Garoppolo. Seeing them do both is kinda hard to imagine.

Already addressed. With that said, we have people on here who are so devoted to this idea that if Watson does get traded somewhere else, I don't doubt they'll be proposing trade packages to get him from his new team.

Same issue. It would take significant resources to trade up to the third pick, then after that trading the third pick plus additional resources to get Watson. The idea's crazy no matter which direction it goes. If you trade up to the second or third pick, just draft someone with it.

Any team that trades for Watson is giving up a significant haul to do so. A team that makes a trade like that is not going to turn around and trade away the player they gave up all that stuff for. And even if you found a team that was willing, the package it would take on our part would be mind numbing. No, there isn't.

Like that super athlete who just won the Super Bowl?
