I'm not 50 yet, but I would easily take the championship. If we won against the Broncos, that would have made that one hit wonder season worth it to me. Winning is everything, and just being "good" for a period doesn't mean much the more years that go by.

I'd also add that if Ron Rivera didn't deliberately throw the game against us by starting Haskins, we'd have a much higher pick than we did.

CMC is great, but he started all 16 games in 2019 and we won 5 games. Don't get me wrong. I like the roster improvements, and I like the coaching. I like the flier on Darnold. Teams with disasters at QB tend to pick top 5.

We won 5 games with Teddy as our QB. If Sam implodes, less than 5 wins is not unrealistic.

We'll see how much of a miracle worker Payton is. Brees sure did make him look like a genius, but he failed his true calling of turning Taysom Hill into an NFL QB. Jameis will probably do better in the offense, because the TB offense is built around taking shots. Saints will keep him dinking and dunking most of the time.

Nick Foles is available...

The Detroit Free Press charges for their content? Not so free after all, huh?

You're right. I forgot about that. Still not used to having a GM that does that.

I don't think our roster is deep enough for our potential cuts to have trade value. We're trading for other team's scraps.

Maybe he wasn't going to make the roster, and we wanted dibs on him.

Pretty positive indicator for our coaching staff, if we can bring on cast offs and turn them into producers on the field.

Is he going to play offensive line?

I like the scheme and his play designs. i don't think he's particularly good play caller, which is a different skill set.

If Darnold doesn't play tonight, that's a big red flag for me. How is the situation good enough for PJ to play but not Sam?

It seems that the Eagles sign Kap in franchise mode every time, and its pretty immersion breaking. Probably have to edit his attributes lower so he doesn't show up as a starter every time.

I've been playing on the EA Play thing on PC. It's a solid game. The run game feels much better because the blocking AI is noticeably better than previous years. Robby and DJ are absolute beasts in the game. Players gain temporary stat boosts based on their play and events that can happen. They both became superstars in my Panthers franchise and are at 93 and 92 overall in the NFC Championship game . Tommy Tremble is also a beast in game.

Why not have an accurate kicker with a smaller leg? You can just go for it on 4th and short where the FG would be 50-60 yards anyways.

Maybe the list of finalists is intentionally bad, so that the permanent WFT name is an easier sell.

I would just stick with WFT at this point

It's weird that any team would trade for Little. Even a 7th. If he can't cut it on this roster, how is he going to make it anywhere else?

Not in any meaningful way, no.

Grier will probably make every cut but the last one, because he's needed as a camp arm.

Unfortunately, I only had access to the Colts broadcast via NFL Network. The bright side is, there's no way Smitty (or anyone else for that matter) is worse than the Colts color commentator.

PJ is good enough to be the 2 for now. I don't know why we're worried about the backup when we don't even know if our starter is any good.

That's fair, but I'm not trying to slight Chuba. The play he busted off should have been stuffed in the backfield, because the blocking was not there. And yes, I've watched Barry Sanders
