Why? It's a two year contract. These two are on rookie deals. Their 'big' contracts won't overlap.

Won't somebody think of the children?

But he asked me to trust him.

Coming from sports agents that's saying something.

They gave up a 2nd round pick and two day 3 picks for Darnold. They're not passing over a franchise QB for that investment. They clearly think Darnold is a better player than you do - and that Fields isn't as good as you think he is. We'll see who's right. I'm betting it's Rhule and Fitterer.

Which translates as "you ain't making the roster as a TE. You've got one game to prove you can block or you're toast".

You can dig that group as being terrifyingly poor?

He missed 3 XP too.

You do realise how this works, right? What's he meant to say? "Jesus, Joey Slye is dogshit. He's only here until we can get rid of him". That's not how you build a team. We'll be scouring the NFL for a replacement - we just won't actively tell the media that we're doing so.

NFL players only voted him the 44th best player in the league. They must be bitter.

It only takes one of them to pick up the only good kicker that is dropped to fug your plans. Be proactive, go get the guy you want. That guy is Jose Borregales.

I'm actually setting up a Dynasty league with friends - first time playing Fantasy Football for a while. It's quite daunting going back into this world.

Which is why I'd trade for one.

I couldn't stomach losing another Super Bowl.

Rhule and Fitterer have shown they will quickly move on from a QB if he's not the guy. Thankfully they haven't done that at the expense of the rest of the roster as, as you've correctly pointed out, we're not in the position to be trading away Draft resources. We need quality depth.

Again another dude who hasn't played in forever. Pure project based on measurables.

Christensen isn't going against starters.

As I repeatedly said - I never understood the 'generational' athlete hype that surrounded him. He doesn't have elite length for an OT. He also hadn't played for a year at that point. He's talented, but raw as hell - he's one to judge two years from now. I could see him ending up at OG when it's all said and done.

I'd cut Slye a break if he didn't shank everything right. He needed to gtfo in the offseason.

I mean if we're honest half the PSL owners sell their tickets to visiting fans anyway. Win and people will come - it's always been that simple. They've 'botched' the QB position once - in the sense that Bridgewater was mediocre (and apparently toxic) rather than bad. You're rushing to judgement on Darnold.

Close. Amusing story and worth a listen.

Shame...

I'm not surprised by that - I never understood the hype around Sewell. He doesn't have elite length and is raw as hell.

Personally I really love the RAS focus in the Draft. Especially with the priority picks - 1-4th round. Taking the guy with elite traits who's produced in College makes a lot of sense to me. I'd love 5 OL as athletic as Christensen, for example - you could do wonders with that. Take athletes (who aren't JUST athletes) and coach them up - that's why you have a Coaching staff. The emphasis on teaching is a big plus for me - but I'm higher on Rhule than most. I'm ok with taking fliers on productive College players after the 5th round, but I'd still weight it towards those with RAS scores. At the end of the day there's an athletic floor to the NFL that you have to reach to be able to play here.
