You can forget that. We have passed on trading him multiple times. He is going to be here. It is just how much money he ends up getting. My guess is in the $29-32 mil/yr range.

Yeah I am not scared if Downs this Sunday. Maybe if he has a real QB in a few years and improves. There is nothing he has that really concerns me.

You mean the guy averaging 59.1 yds/game? Odd thing to be afraid of. Especially since he might miss the game with injury. I have a much more impactful miss. How about 5th rounder Puka Nacua? 3rd in the NFL in receiving yardage. Now that is a miss.

I think the issue with Mingo is that he seems to have a definite ceiling. Doesn't mean he can develop into a useful player but he isn't going to be a primary threat or anyone that a defense has to plan to stop. We have to get some more effective weapons in the offseason.

Yeah these RB's are so bad in pass protection. IMO, Fitt has to be canned after this fiasco of an offseason. Not saying the staff doesn't deserve a lot of blame but you can't have this big of a disconnect between what you are trying to do on the field and how you are building the team. And that is not even touching on his other insane blunders.

Yeah and it's painfully obvious that it isn't all personnel on that OL. Each player individually played better for the previous staff. They literally just look confused and not on the same page too much in the game. You see it with the TE's, the RB's....our pass protection is just not good. Ikey is an easy target but almost everyone has been having mental lapses and errors. The WR's just seems like more taking these square pegs and hammering them into round holes. If you know you are struggling with separation, why are you running some of these plays? Why are we not trying everything possible to scheme people open instead of relying on our dudes to just line up ans beat the guy in front of them? Not saying we don't do that but we aren't exhausting all efforts to make this as easy as possible for what we have. To me that is the biggest theme on offense so far this season. Mismatched parts and not trying to make it as simple as possible for the what we do have. Stop trying to pretend these are perfect parts.

He definitely has a crush on him. Also I think we can all see definite improvements over the season. If that can steadily continue for the rest of the year, that should make us all feel good.....about the QB. Now all that other poo.....lawd. I am just going to keep beating on the coaching/scheme and the way the team is being built. Those two things do not seem to align at all.

To be fair to JT, he is beating mostly on the overall offensive issues more than AT in this one. Honestly, I think we can all agree on that. The nice thing is we see that BY is mostly starting to be able to make some chicken salad out of all this chickenshit.

TDA sucks.

That was the critical whiff. That was it

TDA you cost us there.

Awful

Another fuging PP.

Freddie looks really good early.

fug YES

So sloppy early.

I don't know how anything can be considered "fluke" at this point. Some dudes just don't have bodies that are built to last in professional athletics. It's certainly possible Horn may be one of those guys. Hopefully not. These things were said about Thomas Davis but he ended up one of the best we ever had. I hope Horn can do the same.

Here is another thought, do we give him a 5th year? Are we sure that is 100%?

We are going to have a very tough decision with him in the future, I suspect. It sucks for him and us. Us a lot more, TBH.

I will take that bet. No chance that happens

INB4 some idiot here says we should hire McDaniels to replace Riech.

Howell is interesting. TO machine for sure so the question is will he get that gunslinger mentality reigned in long term or is he just the Favre/Winston class that you have to take the bad with the good. Definitely wish we had taken him over the now out of the NFL Matt Corral. #Fittmagic

He won't be on the table. Same reason Minshew didn't get moved for a while. Although he isn't an odds on favorite to pan out, he is literally getting paid pennies. The cost of being wrong on trading a potential starting caliber QB at a mid round price tag is just insane. That gets a GM fired almost immediately.
