Sure they are due for a collapse, but I don't expect a top 10 pick in 2-3 years as others have suggested. And I definitely agree on picks sooner than later.

We will get plenty of interest regardless and this trade means we have to fill two of the most important positions in football instead of one...

2 years is near enough I don't expect a collapse... Frankly the picks would probably be higher in the first a bit after that, haha

DE is arguably the second most important position on the field, and we'd basically be trading a pro bowler / potential star for what'll probably be 2 picks in the mid to late twenties two and three years from now. I'd pass unless they are sure they can't re sign him... Salary cap is malleable. I don't think he walks.

Rams firsts seem likely to be late first round... And being in the future is a major let down, imo. Salary cap is a sticky situation though, but then DE arguably becomes a better pick at the top of the first than QB. I don't think we will replace Burns' production easily, even with his flaws.

But let's be realistic here. If you could make those kicks consistently, you'd be in the NFL. He missed two that he has made before. He has been very consistent this year. Dude didn't lose his job over one game in no small part because on the year he's been overall very consistent. If he'd missed a few others this year then we'd probably be seeing competition at kicker. If he misses a few more coming up, maybe we do find a different kicker this year. But as of now, it's an overreaction to cut him or bring in competition imo.

I don't think that's true, because I don't think PJ is very good ultimately, and a few more games and Baker can't hit the snap requirements for the pick upgrade. Hell, we could trot PJ out for one more game and sam out for 2 and I think Baker wouldnt be able to hit the snap count. PJ seems like a good backup but I'm just skeptical he won't keep crashing back to earth, as backups tend to. We will see.

PJ is very likely to lose the job to Baker or Sam down the stretch, so we will probably see one or both of them. If not, no reason to give either of these dudes a chance over him just because. Good luck on other teams Baker and Sam.

I may be wrong but I felt Fields was more athletic and more dynamic with his legs. Could be wrong - havent seen as much Stroud as I did Fields just due to moving to another country lol. Stroud is / seems better throwing the ball though. I still think Fields has a shot of being great though.

That's not what that quote meant I don't think .... The quote is in reference to Herbert's performance in that game. The article itself clarified this. That's why it starts with "even as"... And this bit RIGHT before it: "But behind the scenes, a few of the scouts who had pushed for Herbert squirmed as they watched the 22-year-old throw for 330 yards, showing the poise and command of an offense they believed could have stabilized the position for a decade or more." EDIT: woops see that someone else caught this Behind a day hahah.

Good for PJ, hope he keeps it up!

The return value was good, but I can't help but think we're unlikely to get anywhere near the potential production from those picks as we would have had from CMC the next few years, if we really are going for a young offensive minded HC. We just traded away our most valuable piece there...

I don't particularly want to see any of the QBs on this roster again, but one of them has to play. Darnold might be the best of a bad bunch, so...

Very little, imo. Maybe another win or two, but I'm skeptical of that, as well, given the weaknesses on the OL. Certainly I doubt we would have made the playoffs. And I suspect we would be exactly where we are now, having gambled on Darnold and Mayfield.

Ehh. I don't agree re: worst roster in the NFL. But beyond that, Cam was not seen by coaches or fans as being a long term answer. While we don't have a long term answer on the roster now, we also didn't in 2019.

I think a better question is more about if the team is in a better position roster wise for the next 3-5 years than when Rhule took over. In that regard, I feel strongly it is, but that's less about Rhule and more about finally seeming to have an OL core, a young secondary, and a few great pieces on the DL.

I think there's a bit of wishful thinking here... I suspect the dirt is personal indescretions and not fixing a Superbowl so the Panthers would lose...

Monday was Canadian Thanksgiving and I had one more thing to be thankful for, lol. Rhule shoulda been fired last season but this is good enough.

I didn't mind it for the rookie... But the QB competition going as long as it did was asinine. Although seeing what we saw, maybe the coaches saw what we are seeing on the field from Baker and that is why, lol.

I remember thinking he could get a lot out of players the first few weeks of 2020. How wrong I was...

The roster is not as bad as our record the last couple years, but how good it is remains to be soon. Players like Ickey developing are great no matter what.

Plenty of teams have shown you don't need a top 3 pick to get a good QB. Losing out means our roster is much further away than I hoped and definitely much more than just a QB away. If Wilks can actually turn the team around I'll be excited. There's no guarantee that losing out and drafting a QB top 3 doesn't end up just where we are anyway. We already have two QBs selected at the top of the draft on the roster, lol.

Teddy was our best post-Cam QB, but he still wasn't the answer for this team. He was right about Rhule and practice, though.

I was thinking he'd win a couple more games out of these first few and survive until December, but no point in that. The only risk is an interim HC winning games, which I'm fine with if it comes to that. Would rather have some semblance of momentum and excitement heading into next year...

He had multiple good plays that game...
