The part that make me nervous is the "5 year window" talk. I like Derek Carr. I really do. I wouldn't mind signing him. But I don't want to sign Derek Carr to massive 5 year contract with huge guarantees.

That type of 20 pounds ain't gonna help him.

The ONLY way a mid-level vet QB makes any sense is if we're drafting one high. Want to splash cold water on the renewed fan optimism from the hiring of this coaching staff? Go into next year with another Teddy/Darnold/Mayfield caliber vet QB penciled in at starter.

This is very true.

I honestly think a lot of the Pearl Jam hate is bullshit. Pearl Jam was pretty awesome. It's not their fault that spawned some truly terrible attempted copycats. My first major concert was Pearl Jam. Greensboro Coliseum summer of 1999. It was incredible. They kept coming back for encore after encore ending with Vedder coming back by himself with a ukulele with all the house lights on and the cleaning crew starting to come through. He stopped playing mid-show fairly early on to point out this guy who had been holding his hand up literally the entire show and he'd just realized the guy was holding a tape recorder. He had had security go get the recorder and he sat it right beside the his monitor and poured the guy a cup of his wine. That bootleg is available online and the quality is outstanding for the era. Shortly after this happened, we were smoking a joint and I get a firm tap on my shoulder. I'm just thinking... fuuuuuuuuuuck, best case scenario we're getting tossed outta here, worst case scenario we're going to jail. I hold my breath and slowly turn to see an older lady (well she was "older" to 17 year old me, in reality she was probably early 30s at most and several years younger than current me) sheepishly asking if she could have a puff because she hadn't had any for years. Well, of course! LOL!

Dafuq is it with aging great Packers QBs and this "will he or won't be" bullshit? I would've thought that having to go through that bullshit as a young 1st round draft pick waiting in the wings would've ensured that Rodgers wouldn't do that, especially when you have Jordan Love sitting there in the exact same awkward spot he found himself in early on in his career.

Sure looks like it. He looks like a slot WR/nickelback walking beside a TE. Anyone downplaying the concerns about his size is kidding themselves. Will it ultimately matter? Only time will tell, but you can GUARANTEE every team is talking a lot about his size (or lack there of to be more accurate) in their evaluations and there's likely considerable heated debate around the league on it.

Win/win deal. The Niners had a roster ready to compete with a deficiency at QB. CMC is the type of player that can help you make up for that deficiency. CMC paired with Deebo Samuel gives them two very versatile, very dangerous weapons who don't necessarily need an elite QB to thrive. Meanwhile, we were a dumpster fire looking to rebuild and we needed draft capital and cap relief to do it. A big money RB was not an asset for us.

I'm honestly not opposed to the sign Darnold as a bridge/backup and draft Anthony Richardson plan. Hell, I think I typed out a relatively lengthy post a couple weeks ago advocating that plan.

I just hope there were no meatballs involved or any gut feeling driven shift to full on recruiting mode.

I doubt Tepper was involved in the meeting if we're not very seriously considering Carr. That doesn't seem like a "tire kicking" type of meeting.

Two 2nds and a 3rd for #1 overall? The owner would veto that and fire their GM on the spot.

Dave Grohl really is a good dude. Never been a Foo Fighters fan but loved Nirvana. Anyway, my sister in law's college roommates' husband (whew, that's a mouthful) is good friends with Grohl. He's an HVAC guy and Grohl was having lots of issues with his HVAC system and they just got to know each other from all the house calls he was having to make. This guy isn't the owner of an HVAC company, he's just your standard blue collar HVAC tech. Grohl has had him and his family over for BBQs, flown them out to shows, all kinds of stuff. Definitely just an all around good dude.

I don't think our roster is any worse than the Jets'.

Ron Rivera aided by Marty Hurney and Daniel Snyder's football team screwing up a football decision? Hell, now that Matt Rhule is out of the league I can't think of a more slam dunk leader in the clubhouse for sheer idiocy to happen.

Now do the Panthers.

Did I say that? You're just trying to compare apples and oranges and when people point that out then you try to attribute an argument to them that they haven't actually made. In what universe are the Jets a "winning situation"? If you want to see him in a good situation, we're at least as appealing as the Jets.

The Bengals and Ravens were ranked 7th and 11th in total defense, respectively. The Raiders were ranked 28th. The Raiders have been near the bottom of the league in defensive rankings for most if not all of Carr's career.

No matter what we do, we'll have a loud contingent proclaiming the genius of the move and celebrating our soon to come dynasty and we'll have another loud contingent decrying it as the worst move in franchise history and talking about going all in for Maye or Williams next year after this whole experiment crashes and burns. That's the one thing I'm absolutely certain about.

Stafford was 0-3 in the playoffs before going to the Rams. He still has a losing record as as QB by a significant margin.

Don't do this to this kid. If we draft him just let him be Anthony Richardson. Honestly, my biggest reservation about drafting him is that the Cam comparisons and expectations would be heaped on him immediately due to the physical similarities.

Another interesting note with the hiring of Wilson is that he'd be a pretty good player comp for Jeremy Chinn.

This isn't a forced situation. It isn't about what Carr wants. If you can't get him for anything less than an all in deal you walk away.

I am anxious to see how the plan on using Chinn. This two deep coverage scheme talk makes me nervous. If we want to run a two deep shell then Chinn either needs to be playing LB or traded.
