I'm not even sure eating cap helps drum up a trade. Behind this line he has been pedestrian. If not a trade then they need to start looking towards finding an excuse to IR him. That has zero to do with Brooks. He is in the way and Chuba needs someone to rotate.

It's a system where when you mess up it starts slipping. We are the example of that. The Saints have slipped with the Carr contract. He isn't worth that and it's showing. Now they have to dump good talent and wait to eat their mistakes. They also could have sold on some guys earlier. It's not like they are bad at drafting.

That's a great sign. I wasn't sure where he was at now but I knew where he was coming from.

Fields could be serviceable. My problem is his attitude and the fact a young guy will get drafted sooner than later because Fields is a bridge guy. He didn't come in with a great attitude if you have heard the stories of his rookie year with Foles I believe. I'm not sure he is ready to be that guy yet and might need another year of maturity. He is a bridge guy at this point in his career, his passing skills need long-term work but he can start if the situation isn't bad.

The bill always comes due eventually. It's impressive they pushed it back this far but they need some kind of reset. The fact the Panthers are tight with cap with the level of talent on the roster is so much worse. Yes it clears up quicker but it's not like we have been using it well in the past. And that is as recently as this year... Seems like they need to figure out the balance of when to push and when to eat cap. I guess the 49ers are somehow affording guys and I never hear about their cap issues. IDK but the next evolution is due because the Saints figured it out and now it's running them over.

Maybe, maybe not. Daniels didn't look like a guy who was ready to start either but has done just fine. Stroud looked like a guy who could sit and improve but did just fine. It's hard to guess. I am all for having a decent other option and letting them compete. It's good for them and if they can't win the starting gig then they shouldn't be starting yet IMO.

I haven't looked at him enough but he looks like a top NFL QB prospect. Sanders looks more polished mechanically but Ward looks like a better prospect from what I have seen...which is still too little.

It's unusual for that many draft picks to get that many chances at reps. It's good for them and the team. Let it rip and see who can improve.

Playing rookies vs 33 year old isn't tanking. It's doing what they should because they do not have to tank to lose.

He shines in practice and garbage time. Keep playing him and watch the D tighten up and eat his lunch, even the backups. I also don't remember them blitzing either which he can't handle.

I hope so. He should be happy with that because it's all guaranteed and then he can go play anywhere he wants....that would touch him lol

Run the ball, even if it's Blackshear over Sanders who can't run for poo. Dalton is Dalton. Some good and some bad. He always had more turnovers then you wanted but he also scores. If he is made to feel like it's on him that's what you get. Chubba with 20 caries going into the 4th would be a great sign vs the crap 13 that were called on Sunday. I get what the leauge averages are but there is nothing average about this team. Just run the ball and if Sanders is in the way then trade him while eating his cap so someone else can get a try.

Is this to trade and dump Watson or to actually put him on the active team? He can't even beat out Dalton right now either so if it's not just a cap eating for picks thing than fug him and his contract.

I think without Shaq we are lacking a dime and nickle guy. Add in what happens to that D and who knows. Jewell sure isn't playing in a 4-3.

He just didn't look good himself this year IMO. Also being a better on a tip D is what usually happens to the meh guys. Do the averages. We do and ILBer is one with Shaq likely done. Just make him Walaces backup.

They need to be picking an C most likely. Yeah oline and dline as 2 picks is a good plan. QB. OLBer with one from free agency. Safety. Maybe another RB or CB. I think Wallace already replaced him and not Shaq. Jewell isn't good enough to be the ILBer that can pass protect. He is already a backup with Wallace outplayed him. They need another ILBer for sure if Shaq is done which is likely unfortunately.

He is also 30, hurt and a pff grade of 58.8. It was a bad signing. He also isn't good in pass and was the run guy next to Shaq. Meh, they could easily find better than that IMO and Wallace already took that spot.

The oline pick should come earlier. Wallace looks better than Jewell did as a rookie. I think a 5th rounder could take his spot after a year. Plus he is on IR right? Go ahead and get him another backup asap.

It's a spot they could upgrade with a later pick. I don't think he should make it to year 3 but we are stuck with him next year.

They appear to need 2 OLBers. Not sold on Jewell either. And the DL should need help too if that lot doesn't show improvement the rest of the season. Some of the guys brought in under Evero are underwhelming IMO.

It has nothing to do with price. J Russell had a better career then Bryce has had and he was the old biggest bust. The consensus won't be officially reached until some dummy trots him out on their team and he Youngs it up again forcing the pack to come to grips with what he is. He is now the biggest NFL bust ever even if it take others more time to catch up to that fact.

It's kind of expected that Dalton will give out at some point for some reason unfortunately. Last year was bad but heaps of that bad was also on Young and his playstyle. Dalton has such a better head for the game too. The OGs would have still leaked but the average time to throw was almost 3 seconds and that's plenty for a Dalton.

Sanders looks good receiving but not so much in the run game with a 3.3 yard average which is the same as last year. His best game he has had 32 yards and the next best was 22. Someone else might get something more out of him but it's not happening here even with good line blocking.

Or just get a younger bridge and draft a rookie that doesn't have to play right away? It's not about survival it's about a 37 year old being able to physically keep it up. His arm was tired in NO and I think we see that at the second half of the season when father time catches up thowing 30+ times every week. I also think Dalton could have got better play out of that line last year so maybe not killed but definitely worn down faster. I wouldn't be surprised if Dalton retires. Let's see how he is doing at the end of this season. His contract is up this year but he still has $967,000 a year hit for 3 more years after that also.
