Run for his money? Do you know how long Woody has been fuging over the Jets? So bad that Belichick peaced out before he even started coaching. If anything its the other way around lol, Tepper playing catch up.

Bad coaching which leads to bad choices. Rhule wasn't cut out for it and did not give Brady two things : time to develop as an OC and an environment that had enough structure/experience around him to guide. Then it was all desperation by the time Baker got here and that never goes well in the NFL. Fitt and Reich did not spot the improvement from Darnold. If you watched his last few games, he was stepping up in the pocket and making good throws while under pressure. He would have been a bridge for us either way, we were taking a QB. Did he even want to be a part of that?

True. Having the middle of the dline locked up for the next 4 years or so would be huge. Not to mention even though they might not be the most prolific pass rushers but DB and him would need to be accounted for which will open up 1 on 1s for the ends. So it will help pass rush in the long run. I assume they will also be drafting/signing edge help so hopefully get some help that way too. What did Jim Harbaugh say about this kid "gift from the football gods" I believe. Not a much better endorsement for a guy. You know he is a certified baller if he is getting praise like that from Harbaugh. Dan Morgan is going to grab him if he is there, if he wants dawgs and big guys who impact football games. Mason Graham is your man.

I think the benefit right now is they really can take BPA. Personally I weight defense over offense when ranking 1st round prospects. Getting a blue chip player on any level of the defense would be huge.

Difference is the coaching staff never said he couldn't do it and gave up on him. Some people here were so convinced he couldn't even compete on an NFL field. Especially the deep ball and the huddles perceived lack of ability to throw it, which has been talked about ad nauseum. I mean how many pictures of him standing next to someone, wearing a backpack, comparisons of his arms between seasons did we see? All to discredit his ability to be out there.

Not likely, it would have been tough even with DB out there. Run the ball, control the clock and most importantly score TDs in the RZ. Stopping Saquon is pipe dream, the Eagles have made it very difficult for them to get 1 dimensional on offense.

You give Eddie another game ( or two ) to get right. Probably not going to get better then him right now anyways.

I think you kind of have to. We are thin and cannot lose talent on defense. I hope they can work out a deal to pay him what he is worth which right now is top 15-10. Keep him here and hope to land a guy who can push him to #2 for the remainer of his 2nd contract. Getting pass rush will boost him up too.

Preview of Chubba and Brooks coming out the tunnel.

For real. Imagine the bitching here if one goes down and the replacement is some scrub. " Wow Dan Morgan sucks, no RB depth. We could have drafted Brooks last year. He was right there for the taking in the 2nd!" as he balls out on another team.

I swear this board is always like 4 years off on NFL trends. Defenses got built to defened the deep pass. Mid short passing game and especially the run game are back in. It is how you win. Its run to open the passing game unless you are Mahomes and Reid and they will get back to their RB by commitee when Pacheo is baxk healthy.

Do not over think it. Just bring in a franchise player, no trade downs etc... we need cornerstones and you can get one at the top of the draft. Hopefully they have conviction in a QB and if not that get the best pass rusher.

Not talking about how they aquired him. Im talking about why a team may still want him.

Yeah he is still young enough that a team can look back at their scouting of him and wonder if they can bring out the potential they saw. I still think its real funny that people here are not willing to admit that Bryce Young was going to be drafted in the top 5 picks of the draft last year.

To be a seller you need a buyer......no one is buying the guys that are basically special teamers or practice squaders. There are others available that don't require giving up draft capital on. We need to keep the guys that can add some value on STs and as backups with some developmental upside and draft better. That is it.
