Mr. Scot

For what it's worth, Campbell's answers to questions were pretty good from what I saw. One answer in particular, he talked about how the Saints philosophy was to do everything possible to matchup "their best guy on your worst guy".

You willing to part with both McCaffrey and Burns on top of the picks? (Jonathan Jones is saying that's what it'd take since we don't have the kind of draft capital other teams would)

Everybody in Washington reports to Rivera.

Imagine how you'll feel if he brings Dan Morgan back.

In my mind, I still the owner of the home run title.

Jonathan Jones is now saying that besides the picks, it would likely cost us McCaffrey and Brian Burns. The Panthers would have to unload Teddy Bridgewater and his contract if they wanted Watson, though it seems unlikely the Texans would want to take that on considering the way he played in 2020. That'd mean the Panthers would have to trade something of substantial value with a quarterback to give and with the least desirable first-round spot among the group. Panthers owner David Tepper would have to part with Christian McCaffrey, the face of the franchise, and likely more. Defensive end Brian Burns, entering his third season in the league, would also likely be requested in order to get such a deal done. NFL Insider Notes

Not football related I know but Aaron was bigger than sports...

Mayhew has been officially announced as GM on the team Twitter. Still haven't seen an exact word on Marty's hire or what his title is supposed to be.

Mayhew has been officially announced.

Option 3: We're getting a different staff. We've already seen speculation there'll be changes to the personnel department, probably post draft, and that's not unusual when you hire a new GM. Mind you, I don't necessarily think Fitterer is just going to go scorched Earth and fire everybody.

Speaking of...

PFT chimes in... So I guess Marty will be the General Manager and Martin Mayhew will be the General Manager Manager. Makes perfect sense...

I was probably about 8 to 10 years old. The dog was a small to medium sized breed. I was running home and decided to run between their house and another. Dog was sitting on a porch. As I ran past him, he jumped off the porch and latched onto my ass with his teeth. Held on for a few seconds too. When I kicked it into a higher gear, he let go and I ran home crying. To top it all off, my mom got mad about it, called the neighbor over and pulled down my pants to show them the bite marks on my bare ass. Not exactly the best day of my life...

Or fire somebody...

I think the requirement now is that if you want Stafford, you have to beat Dan Campbell in a cage match. No disrespect, but I'm not so sure Rhule can take him.

Disagree. You gotta remember that up until just a short time ago, and basically up until he signed his contract with us, he was employed by another team. He's going to be moving himself anf his whole family clear across the country while getting acclimated to a new job. It's a lot to do. Plus, given that free agency doesn't start for a while yet, there's time.

Gotcha. Like I said that seems kinda backwards to me but hey... Still find it pretty ironic that Mayhew ended up with the job Marty wanted. There's a certain level of poetic justice there.

I think if the question were who is our best player, he'd be the most common answer (and it'd be correct). Favorite player is a little different though. Each person can have a separate rationale.

...paired with a couple of really good cutback runners.

Used to enjoy watching Ryan Kalil get to the second level.

Gotta say between this and Dan Campbell's Hulk Hogan inspired press conference, this has been a pretty comical day for NFL news. (outside of Ted Thompson's passing, of course)

Greg Little The real answer is that I honestly don't know. I tend to favor the offensive line guys but lately outside of Taylor Moton, most of them weren't very good.

No idea if they paid attention to that, but I can tell you since this was announced, fan reaction has...changed.

I've seen it both ways so I'm honestly not sure. Seems kinda ass backwards not to give the incentive to the team that does the hiring honestly, but it's the NFL so... The one thing I do know is that the 49ers could have blocked Washington from interviewing Mayhew if the job didn't involvr roster control.

On team building, I like the sound of this... I think the way I want to build the team is one, obviously quarterback, and two, both sides of the line. Really, settling the offensive line, maybe getting another corner, just creating competition at those spots is kind of the view right now."
