But teams didnt know that at the time, he just chose to fuged the raiders at the end. If he would met with the saints he would have met with us if we wanted him. If reich and co really really likes carr as dave suggests then he would be a panther on 2/19. They would have found a way instead of letting him hit free agency whereas now as you allude aint no damn way he is coming here without a lights out offer

A random blogger isnt proof. And if they wanted carr they would have done like the saints did and bring him in to talk things over, we didnt. If we were interested why wouldnt we at least bring him in when would could have acquired him 100% instead of letting him do a tour and getting into a bidding war?

Goddamn dude you would trade to acquire him and not let him hit the free market

Again, I will totally admit Wentz is a nutso headcase that is physically broken at this point and totally tanked the last 2 games of 2021 but having said that he had a pretty damn good year under reich. Pretty clear that druggie Irsay made another unhinged decision instead of just rolling with reich/wentz for one more season. Feels a bit tepper/teddy esque 62.4 3,563 27 7 94.6

The fug you are talking about, if reich wanted carr we would have traded for him or at the least brought him in like the saints did. We didnt. Move on

Irsay made the call to trade Wentz and irsay made the call to trade for another vet ultimately Ryan. Thats reported as fact as there is damn video of him saying as much

Benching ryan was 100% irsay

hence he is doubting the reporting Like top dawg said, if Reich really really liked Carr as you say then Carr would be a panther as we speak

They didnt go after him 2 or 3 times thats what we are trying to tell you. Some rando internet blog isnt gospel

sure, maybe for normal franchises but its crystal clear Irsay was pulling the strings and said as much

100%

This is literally the 4rth sentence While the story of the Colts offering two first-round picks for Carr is questionable

I think its pretty easy to assume that Reich went to bat for Wentz (who went on to have a good season but imploded in the last 2 games) but probably was just handed Matt Ryan in the recent off season. Pretty sure there is an article about Irsay instructing ballard to move wentz and get someone else in there

Even if that is true, and the that twitter thread seems to have major doubts, then its still a far cry from what the original post of "Reich really likes Carr. I don't believe it is because of his spiritual beliefs either. IMO, Reich thinks he can get more out of Carr than anybody can." So we just have one report that the colts called about Carr. I would hardly apply that to Reich being in love with him.

I mean.......its cool if you believe that but it reads pretty suspect and clearly the author even doubts it

I just googled different versions of "Frank Reich derek carr colts trade" nothing came up, what articles can you link for us to show the connection, it would help edit - just found this but its pretty vague https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/derek-carr-trade-rumors-multiple-teams-have-made-offers-for-raiders-quarterback-per-report/

I agree that the "graded top 20 against the run" is a bit vague but hopefully he shows us where is he pulling that from. Is it top 20 in the nfl, ends etc? A few more details would be nice because stats be damned my eyes see him getting manhandled against the run one on one more times then not

How do you know this?

Dude. With our without chase Burrow is an animal

Tampa Bay says hell yeah

There are no certainty about the class next year. Kicking the can down the road just wastes seasons and valuable contracts

Upgrade is not the same as answer

Lol

This. Burns could be the reincarnation of peppers and it doesn't matter if we have no qb. I mean for fug sakes we literally just wasted Burns on his rookie deal chasing a qb
