I mean, he’s definitely not going to dupe another team into giving him a similar contract to that one but I don’t think his ego will allow him to play for vet minimum, and anything more is too expensive for us which is what I was saying. I’m guessing he won’t accept anything lower than what the highest paid backup is getting.

How you figure? Think he goes to a team for next to nothing because he got a free bag in Denver? I doubt it. But if nothing else at least we can look at it as a worse move than what we did to get Bryce. At least Bryce didn’t cost us a couple firsts AND the worst contract in history ending in $85m in dead money.

I’m down for this offseason. Nothing really disagree with, haven’t researched draft prospects yet so I dunno who I prefer.

Yea if Cam wouldn’t work as a backup because of his personality, Wilson’s diva ass sure doesn’t.

A little better than Young but I still don’t want him. Too expensive, let Young drive this tank to our new QB in next year’s draft.

Perfect post. /endthread

Yea Red Wolves was my pick. Football Team is atrocious and about the only choice worse than Commanders.

lol I’m not Tepper fanboy. I’m not some emotional blind hater that couldn’t stand him from the beginning, and at least he’s better than Richardson, but he’s fked up his two coaching hires and one GM hire. Hope he got it right this time. He needs to replace the turf with grass. But I also don’t use him as the boogeyman and everything that goes wrong is his fault. It’s lazy and ignorant.

Guess that means you’re out? Peace Sorry that poo hurt your feelings so bad.

And lol at people that think this is damage control. For who? The only person it helps is Nicole Tepper. She’s running her own damage control rumor mill to what end? Wrest control of the team from her husband? Doesn’t sound likely.

Well that destroys a popular narrative around here

He didn’t have to take the approach he did, he would have been well within his rights to simply say “they got physical and I defended myself. Simple as that.” But he made a message out of it. I’ll never understand how anyone can dislike this guy, that’s my quarterback.

The Stroud effect and his name. He’s good, no doubt though. I haven’t seen anything generational about him.

If it would take firsts, then I agree hell no. Most I’d could stomach is Burns, our second, and maybe late pick like a 5, 6 or 7. But I actually think Burns does fit their profile, if Danielle Hunter is any indicator. They’re built similar and Burns is just a bit bigger (I think) and much better.

100%. But the Bryce Boys won’t hear it. They’ll keep spouting the same rhetoric and propaganda, especially if you venture into IG or twitter. Same tired arguments that people made up and others parrot.

Bryce Young like package? Who said anything about that? The most I’ve seen floated was by me and that was Burns and a second. Burns might be too expensive anyway, so it really doesn’t seem like that high of a price. Especially if we’re going to lose Burns anyway, whether this year or next after tagging him this year.

Sure you win 7 games with a garbage QB, we just did last year. Teams do it all the time. Fields is garbage and Bryce is worse than garbage.

Fields is garbage and ok they have DJ Moore. We have more than one good player. Draft picks arent on the roster and we were talking about rosters.

Because we wouldn’t be signing him for only one year. And he could be part of what actually makes Bryce (or next year’s rookie) improve, as a target the QB can have confidence in.

Last year: Mingo could be Nico. We won’t know til we get decent QB and play calling. 2022: Icky. Sure last year didn’t look good but his deficiency has been blown WAY out of proportion here. He was very good his rookie year and competent coaching can get him back on track. Barno is a decent situational pass rusher that could keep improving. Mays is solid OL depth. 2021: Horn is an all pro if he stays healthy. He was healthy most of last year. BC is a solid OL starter. Tremble is a decent TE that could still get better especially with better QB play and play calling. Chuba is, beyond all my expectations from his first two years, a decent starting RB. Not to mention rookies that looked like trash last year could actually make a leap with good coaching and playcalling. The sky isn’t falling and last year was a perfect storm of sucktitude. It all depends on Canales, his staff and Morgan.

We could be the Bengals of a few years ago. We haven’t been picking top three but we’ve been picking top ten-ish. Insert a guy like Jefferson, draft a couple sleepers (most of the Texans’ guys aren’t first round picks, not the receivers anyway) and we do have a decent amount of funds. Good coaching, nail a couple draft picks, get a couple key FAs and we’re ready to compete for this shitty division IF Bryce can just not look like the utter abomination that he was last year.

That is a narrative and we don’t have the worst roster. The Bears are probably worse. Jacksonville maybe. Washington, Atlanta maybe. This idea that we are completely untalented is emotional knee jerk reactions. We have a very talented defense and enough on offense to be ok with proper coaching. That’s the difference. The QB is a huge problem no doubt. If we had taken Stroud maybe Reich doesn’t lose his job so quick and we don’t get Canales who might be the next savant. No way to know yet. But our roster isn’t as bad as our record last year. More like the record the year before.

Sure. But likely =\= no chance

Yea entirely possible.

I meant not the worst run team ever, not that we weren’t the only team bidding on Darnold. I believe that.
